refresh your summer look

OMG. I was at the Lululemon store yesterday to check out those Speed Wunder tights, and freaked out when I noticed the Refresh Maxi Dress II by the cash register. My last Lululemon freak-out moment happened two years ago when they released the Noir dress; and I have been hoping for more dresses like this one for, well, two years now.

Love the long and fitted look, stretchy cotton fabric, the racerback back, and the side slits for a sexier look; and the heathered grey color — it's not black!! Ha! Ladies and gentlemen, please meet my new go-to dress for the summer.

Where to buy? Lululemon

business in the front. party in the back.

A pair of black stiletto heels is probably a woman's best friend. It is flattering to the silhouette, elongates the leg, and gives us a huge boost of confidence; because if we can walk in them, we can pretty much do anything. Anything. Right?

These Gianvito Rossi Ellipsis Pumps are EVERYTHING. 4-inch heel, pointed toe, black suede, and one small detail that differentiates them from any other heels: the high back detail; it has un je-ne-sais-quoi that makes them so damn perfect.

Where to buy? Barneys | Saks Fifth Avenue

navy < > black

The AIR by alice + olivia v-neck gathered dress might be my new favorite dress for work and play / day and night. I love the navy color, the fitted cut, and the stunning deep v-neck line. Oh, and the exposed back zip. So sexy. I already see myself wearing the crap out of this dress.

11/19 update: I'm wearing the crap out of this dress.

Where to get it? Shopbop

girls night out

Ladies night!! So I decided to be bold (and bright) and did wear the Ronny Kobo Camilla dress that night. Yes, I was not wearing black for once and yes, I felt slightly weird about it. He!

More details about this dress on [fff].

colours!!

1. The Ronny Kobo Camilla dress is not black. Yay for colors!!
2. It has the most perfect neckline
3. It looks like a Missoni dress without the price tag
4. Done and done

blazing orange

Blazing orange. Lace all over. This Sandro Rehab dress is superb. It has a romantic je ne sais quoi with a sexy edge. All in all, this is the perfect dress to wear at weddings this season.

Don't mind the 'on my way to Soulcycle' no make-up, hair up, sport bra look. I am way too aware that such dress requires the all around dolled-up look. To be paired with the Louboutin Pigalle stiletto heels in patent nude. In real life pictures to be posted soon. Just because.

bright red

Bright red. Structured with strategically placed cutouts in the front and in the back. Zipper in the front. A v-neck line for the most perfect cleavage. And that fabric that gives it such a modern look. SOLD. The Sandro Paris Relax Dress is a bit on the short side but hey! YOLO!

PS: Love that Bloomingdale's had those fancy black stiletto heels available in their fitting room. Planning to wear this dress with my Louboutin Pigalle stiletto heels in nude patent or my Louboutin stiletto heels in black. <3

MOAR colors

I am that woman in black. I just love wearing black. There are millions reasons why one would wear black: It is slimming. Everything goes with everything. Coffee spills just never happened. It is incredibly sophisticated. Noone can tell when you wear that thing over and over again. Except that, in my case, I own *at least* ten little black dresses and people (read: guys in general, coworkers in particular) think I'm always wearing the same dress. The irony.

Anyway, I've decided to add more colors into my life. The plan is to start with a couple dresses that I'll wear at special events this summer. Because: baby steps. These are the dresses. Sandro dresses. Namely: the Sandro Paris Relax Cut-out Dress and the Sandro Paris Rehab Dress. In bright red and blazing orange. Stay tuned for actual descriptions of those dresses / dress rehearsal in the posts to come. #BOOM

and the winner is...

This is everything. Of all the Oscar dresses last night, Scarlett's dress—and Scarlett Johansson herself—were my very favorites. The dress: Deep green. Fitted. Accessorized to perfection... That necklace, that hairdo, this 'port de tête'. Everything about it transpired elegance, confidence and feminine strength, and may I add power? Aaah, Scarlett. Thank you for the eye candy and the inspiration.

not your typical denim jacket

Wait, what? A colleague of mine was sporting this Gap stud denim jacket the other day, and of course, I had to ask her everything about it. To my surprise, she had *just* gotten it, which meant I had a chance to get it, too. (yay). And, she had gotten it at Gap for $74.95. (double yay). So of course, I had to order it right away. And of course, I had to blog about it. Seriously, isn't it crazy adorable? And trendy? And adorable?

same skirt. different color.

I love my H&M sequined skirt in bronze & army green. I noticed that it is now available in black. So, yes, I am gonna order it in black. Because it is fancy, festive and all around fabulous. And, Friday nights will never quite look the same. Click here to read our previous review of it.

the most perfect cachemire cardigan

I didn't stop at the perfect leather jacket. I had to get the perfect cachemire cardigan, too. Margaret O'Leary has so many of those though that it's hard to choose. I did pick the St. Moritz Cachemire Cardigan in black—black again, I know, I know. It is so luxurious! It is made of heavy cachemire, it is extremely comfy, and so stylish with the drapes in the front and the big hoodie. It's been my perfect little travel companion. <3

 

 

the most perfect leather jacket

Yup. This happened. I tried this Margaret O'Leary leather jacket, and that was it. I had to get it. Because it is the perfect leather jacket on so many levels. The leather is silky smooth, the blue lining is super cute, and the cut is modern yet classic. Throw this jacket on at night over a tank top, or wear it as a blazer during the day / at the office, and you'll be more than alright.

can you guess what happened next??

I stopped by the Margaret O'Leary store last weekend and ran into these beauties. Can you guess what happened next??

sequins done right

I crushed on this H&M sequined skirt in bronze & army green the minute I saw it in the store. But I didn't realize it was a real win until I stepped into the office and got three compliments in a row. Three!! On a $34.95 skirt!

I style this skirt with a white v-neck tee, a black blazer and black flats et voilà!! I am business ready AND extra comfy. I'll post a pic of the entire 'in real life' outfit very soon. Stay tuned.
