Dressing up for fall (Birthday outfit)

Dressing up for fall means outfit includes scarf and booties... It was my birthday yesterday and since my boys were at work and at school, I planned a solo trip to IKEA and this is what I wore...

Top - H&M girl's section (Size 12-14 y. o.)

Pants - Pink skinny jeans from H&M

Ankle wedge booties - local shop

Scarf - local shop

Aviators - H&M

What I've been wearing - White halter top

When i have something new, i tend to wear it repeatedly... Take this satiny white halter top for example, which is so breezy and comfy to wear when it's 30+degrees outside... I just added a scarf for a different look, it's perfect to pair with anything! (FYI: I have another one in green ;-)

WIW - Emerald green top + white skinnies

Outfit details:

Emerald green top - available at my shop

White skinny jeans

Favorite nude wedges, very comfy

Chevron necklace - also from 'D SHOP

What I've been wearing: Denim jacket for summer

Yes, you read that right... I've recently purchased a denim 3/4 jacket and I'm constantly wearing them... I know it's summer but the weather here is like fall, gray skies, gloomy and cool, just perfect for my jacket!

So far, I've worn it three times this week:

I wore it over my black tank dress with statement necklaces and cuffs...

I wore it over my short green summer dress (H&M)...

And over a maxi dress (which I'm lovin'!)...

Summer nails

This polish not only looks like chocolate, it also smells soo yum I always find myself sniffing them!

WIW [New favorite - Stripes top]

Sorry for the pic quality (taken by my iPhone under low light in an elevator =)

Can I just say again that this is my favorite top at the moment? Although it's summer, I still love wearing it because it's sooo breezy  and light despite the longer sleeves... and just coz it's stripe! Can I also say that I love anything and everything stripes? It's so versatile, I can wear them with just about everything in my closet! So far, I've worn this top 4 times since I bought it and paired with boyfriend jeans, white skinnies, denim cut-offs and blue skinny jeans... I have plans of pairing them with a lace skirt for a more dress-up feel with pearl necklace maybe? And mint skinnies, white shorts, so excited!

Wonder why my shoes is like that, weird!

Stripes top - H&M

White skinnies - H&M

Tie-dye bag - Bershka

Teal flats - forgot the brand

Statement necklace - have that for 3 years

Summer sandal hoarding -Metallics is in!

If the shoe fits, buy it in every color so they say, and so I did!

And so this is another edition of: 'so nice, buy it twice' peeps!

I can't decide which color to get, so I got them in both gold and silver, they look a lot like this American Eagle Outfitters gold flipflops which retails in the US for $24.95, and these silver and bronze ones from Gap...

well i paid less than $10 for one, that's a lot cheaper!

...and this one is a look-alike of this sandals from J.Crew which retails for a whopping $158. Whew! Thank God for knock-offs!

Now, time for a fresh pedi! =)

Colored skinnies, leopard-print, stripes

I have amassed quite a collection of colored denims over the past year, I think I have 12 pairs now (quite an obsession)  and i love all of them! 

 I love colors! Makes me happy! They come from various brands, a few are from H&M... 

Summer Neutrals

Shorts and miniskirts are out! My legs can't stand being wrapped in skinny jeans anymore...

So from here on in, prepare to see lots of legs, coz it will be a staple sight here in the blog,  *grin*

Top - Bershka

Skirt - H&M

Sunnies - H&M

What I wore - Chambray shirt, white shorts and coral necklace

The temp's rising! Summer's really here!  

This was yesterday... Showers in the morning, hence the umbrella... 

By noontime it was a lot warmer, I had to remove the shirt and had to buy that 

lemon-yellow loose and comfy top =) sadly, there's no picture of that...

WIW - Anniversary dinner with the hubs

The hubs and I celebrated our 15 years of marriage last April 28... We had an early dinner at SuperSteak in Coco Park, Shenzhen...

This is what i wore...

It's a season for patterned/printed anything!

Inspired by this outfit from Ann Taylor Loft (i think... I have to look that up!)

Feeling Spring!

Hi y'all! Did you miss me? I know I got a lot of explaining to do, why I wasn't blogging as much... Eversince the shop opened, it ate up a lot of my time and some things just need to take a backseat, blogging included... 

But now I'm back and that's what really matters!

I've noticed I dress more during SPRING... These two outfits was inspired by the lovely weather we're having as of late, not cold anymore but still comfortably cool to wear light cardis... 

And the colors, so spring, dont you think? 

Which one do you like best? 

By the way, I'm selling the skirt at my shop, hop on over there and take a look around!

Plaid shirt

Plaid shirt for spring and summer... With neutral accessories.

For summer: Worn with pearls, denim shorts and wedge sandals

For spring: Worn with white jeans and boots

Which one is your favorite?

Isabel Marant

Isabel Marant 'Bekett" wedge sneakers... (Mine's a knock-off! I don't mind, coz I can't afford the real thing anyway!)
