Peach Sundress + Mint Julep Giveaway

The fact that we don't have winter here in the Philippines, I am lucky to be able to extend the use of my sundresses. Indeed, I can wear them all year round! Hence, I picked this American Eagle dress from ThredUP because I loved the color and it has a very nice detail on the back.

I styled the dress two ways: with a statement necklace and a scarf. I love how adding the statement necklace made this sundress look a bit glam. Meanwhile, adding the leopard scarf into the mix added a bit of sass to the dress. 

Which do you like better: the one with the scarf or with the statement necklace?

Hi-Lo Glam

Being a girly-girl at heart, I always love dressing glam. I grew up trying on heels and pumps (oversized at that) and wearing my mom's tops as dresses. It was fun while it lasted! However, I never grew weary of dressing up... in fact, it becomes even more fun now that I get to choose my own style and I get to provide a glimpse of who I am with my fashion choices.

This hi-lo Hard Tail dress from ThredUP called for another glam moment for me. I was previously skeptical about the hi-lo trend (never was a fan to begin with). But I am not one to say "no" to something without at least giving it a shot. 

The dress is made of cotton so it has a super comfortable feeling when worn. It was a bit flouncy so I added in my braided belt to cinch the waist. Plus, the golden floral hollow necklace from Persunmall helped infuse that delicate touch to the look. My pink neon pumps, however, provided some fun contrast with a pop of color.

Are you a fan of hi-lo dresses?

 

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!

Juicy Couture Stripes

When in doubt, wear stripes. This pattern is a classic for a reason. It works with any season and any style. Hence, I always make sure to get a sufficient amount of stripes in my closet because it is easy to re-wear or re-mix with other pieces. And this casual striped dress from Juicy Couture is no different.

I got this dress as part of the summer shopping challenge from ThredUP. As promised, the quality was practically new. And the best part is that it's retail price is at $88 but I got this dress for only $19.49! That is up to 78% savings! Make sure to check out the website if you are looking for designer pieces for low prices! All pieces available from ThredUP also go through thorough quality inspection so you can guarantee all items are in good condition (some even practically new!).

Do you also feel the same way about stripes?
