New stripe top and I'm so obsessed with it. I can't get enough of stripes. Wearing it with a denim jacket and ripped jeans are my go to look this spring. Some of you commented on my Instagram and Facebook page that this pair of sandals looks really high and that you may not have the confidence to walk in them. This made me want to share some tips on how to wear high heels.

-Heel type.

 The heels that have more cover, an ankle strap or thicker heels are easier than stilettos and thin heels.Wedges and platform heels are also easier. Plus platform heels are back this season, which are indeed a great option. With this pair I'm wearing, the heel is 5.75 inches in total height and the platform is 1.5 inches. So the absolute height is about 4.25 inches. It's much easier to walk in compared to a lot of high heels. I love how they look and how they elongate my legs :P

-Find the right size.

When I'm shopping online, I always look at the description of the shoes before I order. Lots of online retailers have information like true to size or fit smaller in the product detail. You need to find the right size for you.

-Use anti-blister products.

I'm currently using this Julep Doublesteps foot treatment and friction stick. I put it on my feet on the areas where I easily get blisters before I put on my heels. This shea butter treatment is infused with vitamin E and chili pepper oil to stimulate circulation. It also creates a barrier between your feet and shoes to reduce friction and stomp out blisters.

-Try insoles or foot cushions.

These gels and silicon are really soft for your feet. They help shift the weight and alleviate heel pain.

-Walk in them correctly.

Walk in them from heel to toe. Having good posture helps too. Take small steps. Be confident :)

-Take Breaks.

Try to sit if you need to get off your feet for a little bit. Practice does make perfect, but don't wear heels everyday. Your feet need a break. After wearing heels for a few days, you can switch to other awesome flat shoe options out there like Birkenstocks :P

-Bring foldable flats.

Some heels are really high and tough to walk too long in, but they are so pretty. If you know you will be in these types of heels for long hours, you can always bring foldable flats with you. I have a few pairs of Yosi Smara ones, they are tiny after folding and fit in small bags.

-Be good to our feet.

 At the end of the day, after showering, I always put on lotions and creams and that includes putting them on my feet. Massage them for a while as it's good for your feet. This shea butter foot cream is really good. Or get a foot massage and a bubble bath, which are great for our feet.

I hope these tips are really informative and helpful for you to rock your heels. Happy Thursday, loves! Have a great day :) XO

新的条纹衫，好爱哦。感觉条纹衫再多也是不够。和牛仔外套和破洞牛仔裤穿就是我私底下经常的搭配。我看到你们在我的Instagram和Facebook page说这双鞋好高，都没有信心可以穿。不要啦，我今天就和你们聊聊如何穿好高跟鞋。

-高跟鞋的类型

有脚踝的带子的，或者是包着脚的，还有跟厚的都比最传统的高跟些还有细跟的好穿。像Wedges还有有platform的鞋都比较容易些。而且今年platform完全就重返流行舞台，绝对是不错的选择。我脚上的这双，总高度是5.75英寸，platform高1.5英寸，所以绝对高度是4.25英寸。和同高度的高跟鞋比好走多了。我爱死这双了，看上去腿好长：）

-选择正确的尺寸

我平常网上买鞋的时候，都会注意描述的细节。很多网站都有些鞋子尺寸正确还是偏大偏小。一定要穿合脚的鞋。

-用anti-blister的产品

我目前是用这个Julep Doublesteps foot treatment and friction stick。平常出门前会在比较容易有问题的地方涂好，然后再穿鞋。这会给你的脚一个保护，不会很容易磨到。

-可以试试insoles或foot cushions

这些都是很软的，对脚好。给你的脚一个缓冲就不会那么痛。

-走的方式正确

要从脚跟走到脚尖。站姿正确也会比较好。要挺胸抬头。步伐可以小些。有自信：）

-休息

脚累了就坐下呗。确实是走的越多就会越熟练。但也别每天都穿高跟鞋，对脚不好。其他平的也有好看的鞋，参考的我那篇Birkenstocks的博文。

-带折叠的平底鞋

有的时候知道自己很高很美的高跟鞋要穿很久，太美了一定要穿。那就带双可以折叠的平底鞋。我自己也有好几双Yosi Smara的。折叠之后很容易放在小包里。

-对脚好点

晚上回到家，洗澡之后，我都会涂些油啊，霜啊什么的，包括脚我都会涂。涂的时候就按摩下，会很好的。我推荐这个脚霜，可以试试。另外定期去脚底按摩和泡澡都对脚很好的。

好啦，希望今天谈的对你们有所帮助。有什么不可以穿的。喜欢的鞋有信心加上我以上几点就可以穿。祝你们星期四快乐！我爱你们：）

HELLO BEAUTIFUL

Disclosure: This post is promoted by Target. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author.

Have you girls ever picked up or thought about purchasing the Target Beauty Box? Mr. SF and I sometimes stop by Target to buy some groceries and daily use items for home. I usually grab some shampoo and body lotions, but I never look closely into all the beauty products Target has. I have to admit, it’s a box full of surprises. After I opened up the box and checked out the items inside, it’s really an amazing little box which I have to share with you girls. Let’s take a look at what’s inside first :P

Maybelline Color Elixir by Color Sensational Lip Color (Full Size)

For you girls who love lipstick like me, you know when you are out, it’s tough to apply lipstick perfectly unless you bring a brush with you. This trio of concentrates delivers the color of a lipstick, the care of a balm and the shine of a gloss. I’ve never used anything that can function as lipstick, lip balm and a lip gloss. The applicator wand makes the application so much easier and accurate. It can totally solve the problem that I have with lipsticks. I can’t wait to try it.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set

I’m tired of endless makeup touchups, smudged eyeliner after I have my makeup on for a long time or my melting foundation on those hot days. I currently don’t have a spray like this. I’m excited that this lightweight spray locks in my makeup for all-day extended wear.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream

Do you girls know that one of the keys to prevent wrinkles is to let your skin stay hydrated?  This cream is a hydro boost gel cream for extra dry skin. It’s a fragrance-free and lightweight gel-cream that instantly quenches and continuously hydrates your skin. It absorbs quickly into your skin without leaving behind an oily or greasy feel. It boosts hydration and locks in the hyaluronic acid so your skin stays hydrated. 

TRESemme TRES Tow extra Hold Hairspray

I love a good hair day with my wavy hair. A hairspray that can achieve maximum hold without stiffness or stickiness is exactly what I’m looking for in a hairspray for my long hair.

SheaMoisture Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Shampoo

I have to admit that it’s not easy to maintain long hair.  Good quality shampoo is definitely one of the most important things for hair. This sulfate-free, antioxidant-rich shampoo helps to renew vibrancy for dull, lackluster hair. It provides sulfate-free cleansing, anti-aging benefits, color portions, hydration, nourishment, rejuvenation, anti-stress, manageability and softness without build up. What’s more important is that the ingredients are all natural, paraben-free and phthalate-free.

So many goodies in a little wonder box. If you are like me and only go to Target for replenishment needs like shampoo and body wash, etc., I strongly recommend you check out this box. From it I’ve definitely discovered a few new beauties.

-Great Value. It’s a box with great value. Some of the items included are full size like the Maybelline lip color. At this price, the box is just a bargain you can’t find anywhere.

-Buy What You Love. You don’t need to buy a full size of everything to try it out. Beauty is always a very personal decision. You can find your favorite items and only purchase what you love.

-New and Now. These items included in the box are what’s new and now, and a lot of them are must-haves.

-Natural Ingredients. The products included in the box all have natural ingredients and are paraben-free. It’s important to have quality products at a great price point. 

-Great Gift Ideas. It’s also a great gift to give your girl friends, isn’t it? :P No girl could resist a wonderful little beauty box. 

Why don’t you girls check it out and share the love among your girls? It’s such an inexpensive, practical and yet stylish, fun box.  It could be a great goodie bag for your dinner parties, bridal showers, baby showers or get-togethers with your girls. Your girls can also easily trade and exchange with each other to get an extra of your favorite items. Play and explore these beauty products to create different looks and express your own unique beauty.  XO

It has never been easy for me to find something cute and work appropriate. I always want to bring a fun look to our tech office. Now that the weather is getting so much better in New York City, I just want to go to happy hour after work without having to bring an extra pair of clothes to change into. Pinstripe reminds me a lot of a pinstripe blazer or coat for work. So I found this cute little pinstripe dress, which is also ON SALE!

从来都不容易找到上班好出去玩也好的连衣裙。在这种搞技术的公司上班，我平常都不会穿的死板。而且现在纽约的天气转好，下了班直接想和朋友见面，也懒的换。Pinstripe平常都让我想到这种的套装，所以我找到了这件可爱的连衣裙，可爱上班也可以穿，而且现在还打折。如果你想找更适合上班穿的，那这件绝对是不错的选择。现在用代码 SHOPNOW享受75折。

下星期我要去硅谷的总公司出差。绝对会带这件的。对了，在我等了10个月之后，那个电视系列硅谷昨晚终于在 HBO开了第二季，我的天啊，我真是爱死这部了。太好笑。尤其是在技术公司上班，特别领会里面的笑点。好啦，祝大家星期一快乐。新的一周加油了。爱你们：）
