The first time I saw this top on Shein, I knew I had to have it. The color and the lace were two of the reasons why I wanted it so bad. It also comes with a flowy fit and the criss-cross back as a bonus! When it came in the mail, it was exactly as I had pictured it to be. For less than $20, it was a great deal.

If you can remember, I featured this top as one of my wishlist picks here. It took too long to arrive, which is the only qualm I have with shopping from Shein right now. Aside from that, I am very happy with this purchase. The blush tones from the Kate Spade tote and my pumps added a beautiful contrast in color. These two colors (navy and blush) are some of my favorite colors to wear right now.

If you've had your eye on this top, too, hesitate no more! I purchased it for $17.99 and now it is priced further down to $15.39! 

Classic Lace

There is something about lace that makes putting together elegant outfits seem effortless. Hence, I always turn to lace when I want to create subtly elegant looks. This lace dress from Showinbuy is definitely one of my favorites during my shopping haul at the website. As a self-confessed lace lover, it's not hard to tell why.

The peach pink color made this dress look more elegant and delicate than it already is. And for something priced at less than $20 the quality is unmatched. I almost did not pick out this dress as I was browsing through their website. But then, lace is a trendy piece with a timeless appeal - therefore it makes for a good investment piece in my closet. You can also find lots of great women's dresses from Showinbuy's website at good prices. You can buy from them if you want to try out trends but still stick to your shopping budget. 

A pair of nude heels and red chain clutch injected more glam into the outfit. I am also loving the purple lens sunglasses I got from Sunnies Studios - it's my new favorite in my growing sunglasses collection!

 

Monotone

I won't deny it - I love dressing up and getting dolled up. But I much prefer keeping my style simple on most days. In fact, I can live in shorts and skirts if I had to. Today, I am going to showcase a simple look that I can say would be my ideal day-to-day look (you know, for those days when your're too lazy to care). 

This monotone look features my favorite color in two different shades: blue. The printed top is made out of cotton so it is light and comfortable to wear. I paired it with my lace pencil skirt to give this look a "girly" feel to it. This skirt is beyond amazing - as a lover of lace, I was hooked the first time I saw it. But the best part is that it does not only look nice, it fits nicely too. The mint sling bag helps to break up the monotony in color. 

What is your take on monotone looks?

 

Of Lace and Pink + Linkup

You might scoff at me for my repeated insistence on loving lace but what's a girl to do? I LOVE lace! Hence, it was not surprising to me that I picked not one but two lace skirts from ThredUP as part of our collaboration. This lace pencil skirt is one of them. You can see me style the other lace skirt here.

I decided to go all-out with the feminine detail of the look by pairing the lace skirt with my pink sheer top. A hint of mint from my necklace helped to break up the color monotony. And for the final touch of glam, my sleek ponytail came to the rescue. 

If you noticed, I was all smiles that day - the weather was cooperating with us. In fact, the wind kept blowing my way and I think it helped out to create some beautiful shots. Here's to hoping for another fun and successful shoot outdoors!

Coral & Lace

When coral became a hot trend in 2013, I could remember gushing about it. I saw a lot of beautiful bloggers showcasing this color in various styles and forms. To my surprise, I do not own a single coral piece (save for the scarf that the boyf gifted to me) in my closet. But when I saw this coral maxi skirt as I was shopping one day, I could not get myself to put it back on the rack. 

As you can see, I went all-out glam with this look. I find that there is a feminine quality to coral. I decided to go extra glam with this new statement necklace I got from Persunmall and my halter lace top. I've also added a sleek ponytail into the mix so it makes the neckline highly prominent. To say this is one of my favorite looks as of late is a bit of an understatement.

What's your thought on coral?
