Black/white

2013-03-24T15:20:00.000-07:00

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Black and white are always two special colors in my closet no matter how much I love bright colors nowadays. I love to challenge myself to make the black/white ensemble more visually interesting. Today, I paired my simple black pants with white sweater and top it off with my collar necklace, which I got from ebay for 3 bucks.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Thank you for reading and commenting!

Marchesa collection for JC Penney

2013-03-06T09:50:00.001-08:00

Happy Wednesday!

One of the latest designer and department store collaboration is Pearl by Georgina Chapman of Marchesa collection for J.C. Penney. I've been loving the high fashion brand on many celebrities from Diane Kruger to Kerry Washington and super excited with the thought that I can scoop up one of the glam looks without having to splurge. Right in time for prom season (even though I'm too old for prom), I'm really impressed with the red carpet glamour of the new collection and I'm loving every bit of it.

My most coveted piece from the line is the black dress combining the cute polka dot top with the super chic rosette skirt. The fit and flare silhouette and the standout rosette just grabbed my eyes and I couldn't keep away and of course this is my must have for the wardrobe. I however just wish it comes in more colors.

I also adore the chic lace blazer and shorts, black lace dress and the strapless red rosette dress

Do you like the line? What pieces are you lusting on?

Have a wonderful day!

Love,

A dash of leopard

2013-03-05T13:19:00.002-08:00

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a wonderful day so far!

I always adore sweet and sassy leopard print. It never goes out of style and can go with everything. For today's look, I paired a leopard print blouse with skinny jeans and leopard flats.

Happy Spring!!!

2013-03-03T14:16:00.001-08:00

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday! How have you been doing?

I'm so excited to be back to the blog. Thank you to all who have sent me sweet messages asking how I am doing. I had a very bad allergy all winter long. My lips were swollen and got very chapped which made me feel so miserable. Luckily, the weather is so much warmer now and I'm feeling much better and very eager to pull some of my spring pieces out of hibernation.

Asos lace dress for a date night

2012-12-09T19:23:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying the weekend!

I must confess that I buy a lot of black pieces of clothing because I think they are classic, elegant and timeless. When I go into a shop and see a dress offered in black, red, yellow and blue, I definitely reach for the black without thought. During a 30% off sale, I decided to pick up a new black lace dress from Asos. I wore it with a black mini blazer, and black pumps to dinner tonight.

Old Navy red denim and polka dot top

2012-12-03T08:27:00.001-08:00

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a wonderful day so far.

If you go to my blog and read past posts of mine, you'd quickly see that I wear dresses and skirts much more frequent than pants. For me, finding good pants/jeans which fit me well and don't accentuate my big upper leg is quite a challenge. Last weekend, I stopped by Old navy and found some denims on their sale rack. I never have good luck finding decent ones there but I still decided to try again. I was surprised to find that I was lucky this time, the red one actually fit me well and looked quite good. I guess I'll keep checking Old Navy from now on then.

Color me happy

2012-12-02T18:29:00.000-08:00

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Warm temperature has returned today (above 70F) and time for me to revisit some cheerful summer pieces.

There's something so feminine and classy about peplums. I've fallen head over heels for this trend since summer and been adding peplum shirts and dresses to my ever growing closet. I got this blue one in summer and have been wearing it non-stop since then. Today, I mixed it with multi-color striped skirt from Asos to create a fun casual look.

Top: Modcloth (sale here), Skirt: Asos (currently on sale here), Shoes: Steve Madden (buy here), Bag: Dream me (love it here)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and hope you have a great start to your week!

Petite fashion challenge #21

2012-11-28T17:07:00.001-08:00

Petite fashion challenge #21: The Fashionators

This month's petite fashion challenge is hosted by one of my favorite bloggers: KTRStyle

Challenge: "This month’s challenge is to create an outfit for an occasion (of your choice: attending a wedding, in a wedding, a holiday party, Kentucky Derby, etc.) and utilize a headpiece as the focal point to make a “fashionator” statement. This headpiece can be a fascinator, a fancy headband, a delicate flower or a big hat. Feel free to get as creative as you like!"

I have to admit I'm still feeling shy to put on a real fascinator. Instead, I decided to wear a sequin headband to bring more holiday spirit. Growing up in Asia while living in the US, I often find myself at the crossfire (or sometimes nexus) of eastern and western culture with regard to fashion . Dilemma or privilege? I don't know. But I am trying to use it to my advantage anyway.

Thank you for reading and leaving comment. By the way, sorry for the low quality pictures taken by my phone

Rewearing

2012-11-07T07:00:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! My question today is how often do you shop? I myself do not have the budget to constantly buy new clothes. I always try to stretch my creativity to wear a same piece in different ways. Today'a outfit is an example. I revisited my old summer lace dress and pair it with a neutral blazer to create a fall outfit.

Fall floral peplum

2012-11-06T07:56:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great day!

Peplum is one of this season's trends of choice.When I first saw this gorgeous floral peplum top in the H&M Lana del Rey Collection campaign photos, I immediately fell in love with it. I adore the pretty floral print, and the way it cinches at the waist. I decided to pair it with a pencil skirt to create a feminine and elegant look today.

Bring on some Burgundy

2012-11-05T07:43:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day so far!

I have so much fun putting my wardrobe together for the fall. I've noticed that Burgundy is definitely the it color of this season and am so loving it. I picked up this burgundy sweater few months ago but didn't have a chance to wear this since the weather was still quite warm. Today the temperature dropped to about 40F and I was so excited to take this sweater out of my closet and paired it with my favorite pink dress.

Sweater: HM, Dress (worn as skirt): Modcloth, Bag: Cole Haan, Heels: Talbots, Sunnies: Fendi

Pittsburgh!

2012-11-03T20:56:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing great. Last week, I went to Pittsburgh for a business trip. Even though the weather was not great due to Hurricane Sandy, I had a wonderful time meeting people and wandering around the city.
Located on the confluence of three rivers, Pittsburgh is absolutely beautiful. After a series of meetings, I took couple hours hopping on the historic Monongahela incline ride to Mount Washington. I was thrilled by the spectacular view of the rivers and the city. It might be a bit surprising to say Pittsburgh has one of the best skylines but it's so true. Before heading to the airport, I stopped by Andy Warhol museum, a great tribute to a pop art icon in history. Since I only caught last hour before my flight, I did not get to experience the full and thorough collection. I will definitely revisit there if I have another chance.

Great to Bee-back!!!

2012-10-25T21:30:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone! After a long hiatus, I've decided to start up the blog again. For the last few months, I had to take a break from blogging because of work commitments getting in the way. I really miss the blog and all readers. I still have work but will try to post more frequently.

The weather has been getting cool but not cold enough for coats. Therefore, I decided to pair my favorite lace dress with a sweater vest. I also love the black/yellow combination which reminds me of happy honeybees.

Thank you for reading and commenting! Have a great evening!

Love,

-Tina

P.S: by the way, I'll be visiting Pittsburgh next week, would you recommend me what to see and where to eat there? Thank you!
