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

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.

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.

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.

moar summer dresses

The Enza Costa Doubled Tank Pima Cotton Dress in Ombre & Tie Dye is just as equally awesome as the Raquel Allegra dress. Tie-dye goodness available in a zillion colours all over the web. Yum.

the lulu dress. in real life.

This Lululemon Noir dress is better than I thought it'd be. I just can't stop wearing it. In that case, from brunch to the red carpet. <3

curves much?

I believe the only reason Lululemon would start selling dresses is because wearing them will motivate you to work out more. The Noir dress hugs your body in all the right ways; it is made of Lululemon famous sweatpant soft stretchy fabric, it is comfy, and can be worn two ways: as is / as pictured or the other way around / the back in the front. It can be hemmed to your ideal length, although I love that below the knee length. All is all, it is the perfect little black dress to dress up or dress down as you wish, and take with you on trips.

the heather grey / charcoal option

My only wish would be for this James Perse Cowl Neck Tuck Dress in Charcoal to be reversible. Because that's the first thing that came to mind when I noticed the heather grey contrast color lining at the bottom. Instead, we'll just have to get its twin sister dress, namely the James Perse Cowl Neck Tuck Dress in Heather Grey -- with charcoal contrast color lining at the bottom. This dress looks absolutely amazing when paired with K Jacques tan sandals. Casual chic at its finest.

dress it up

Told you this little charcoal dress would look the part when paired with fancy heels. Be fierce. Do it.
