You can be my boyfriend if…..

Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

I like to make lists and when it comes to relationships, I have a check list of things that I’m looking for in a guy. But they all disappear as soon as I fell in love with that person. After my first relationship ended, I grabbed a notebook and wrote down all the things that I want in a man and I thought it’ll be fun to share some of it with you. 1) He knows what he wants – A guy who is very sure of himself and knows what he wants in life is very attractive. He doesn’t give up when something doesn’t work out but he moves on quickly and pursues his passion with zest! Can you imagine being with someone who’s always changing his goals and never sticking around with one thing? I learned it the hard way never to be with someone like that again.

2) Good mannered-gentleman – I can’t stand someone who has poor manners and who doesn’t say  ‘thank you’ or ‘excuse me’. A guy who is very polite and considerate immediately catches my attention.

3) Intelligent and confident – He needs to be able to communicate with me on all kinds of issues and I want to be with someone who is articulate and well-spoken. 4) The most attractive feature on a guy for me is……his smile and his arms! I love well-toned arms..haha.

5) He can be serious and he can be silly. He knows how to balance the two.

Plus he’s fun, cool, affectionate, charismatic, and treats his girlfriend the way she deserves to be treated.

What about you? What are the qualities you look for in a guy? Let me know! xoxoxoxoxoxoo

Warm, Fuzzy, Happy Monday

Monday, July 18th, 2011

This past weekend was one of the best! I was able to relax fully and just enjoy being away from the computer for two whole days. Now it’s Monday and back to the grind!

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know how much of a romantic I am and I love making romance part of my life even if I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment. I feel really happy when I see a couple who are clearly in love and I cringe when I hear news about a celebrity couple break up or divorce. I was really shocked when I heard news about Nataliya Vodianova and her husband Justin Portman ended their marriage because whenever I looked at their pictures, they looked so content being together. Then you probably heard about Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s split. But you know, as a optimist and a romantic, I like to tell myself that whenever there is a break-up, there are hundreds more happily-ever-afters out there. I really believe that.Isn’t this such a perfect summer city outfit! I love everything she’s wearing and those wedges are so pretty!Yes, this is how I want to look like in my 50’s and I will wear mini dresses and tight pencil skirts on my way to work! And those sparkle heels too!Aren’t those bags amazing? They belong to Vogue’s Accessories Editor Selby Drummond!I love couples who are stylish together from being in their 20’s to forever!Everything is from Anthropologie! 1.Battenberg V-Neck $78.00 2.Million Pleats Mid $158.00 3. Palenque Necklace $198.00 4. Inner Circle Shades $24.00 5. Fine-Ruled Satchel $268.00 6. Band Over Band Heels $158.00My favorite looks from Sonia Rykiel Fall 2011 show!Have a chic Monday my loves! xoxoxoxoxo

Dress of my dreams

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

I almost always wear something formfitting everyday as they make me feel good but before, I used to wear only baggy long sleeves and long skirts. My mom is a pretty conservative person and I grew up wearing pretty much what she wants me to wear. She still thinks my vneck tshirts are still so provocative even though they’re normal tshirts! But as I grew older, I insist on having the freedom to wear what I want. I believe that dictating what someone can wear is ridiculous and I hate uniform or any type of dress code. I just bought this dress from nastygal! I can’t wait to wear it! Double Knot Dress – Black $68.00 (Nastygal Vintage)These are some of the accessories that I want to wear the dress with! What do you think? 1. Enamored of Enamel Necklace $39.99 (Modcloth) 2.HOUSE OF HARLOW Golden Feather Locket Necklace $215.00 (Stylebop.com) 3. Wendy Mink Bird Cuff $142.00 (charmandchain.com)  4. Blue Straw Stripe Floppy Hat $50.00 (Topshop) 5. Sigerson Morrison Braided Multi-Strap Sandal In Nude $297.00 (ShopZoeonline.com) 6.Sonia Rykiel Denise bow sandal $367.00 (shopsavannahs.com) 7. Bryna Nicole Hermann Mini Bag $158.00 (Otteny.com)

Wishing you a lovely Tuesday! xoxoxoxoxo



Start your day with a smile!

Monday, July 11th, 2011

Good morning! Hope you guys had an amazing weekend! Over the weekend, I was thinking about blogging in general and where it’s going to be five years from now on. When I first started my blog, I wasn’t very serious and I had different goals back then. It was just a creative outlet but I knew I always had an interest in fashion and styling. But then as I keep blogging, I find myself wanting to express more and I learned a lot about dressing for myself. Along the way, I made some incredible blogger friends who inspire me with their outfits and wise words.

What I want to know is if your goals for your blog has changed or remain the same? Do you find it easier as you keep going or do you find it harder? I’d love to know! Cheers to staring your day with a big smile and ending it with laughter!
I love Jessica Horton’s smile! I want to be her best friend! A healthy breakfast or a slightly fattening one with lots of bacon and eggs and a toast with tea and blueberries are some of my favorites to eat in the mornings!Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up in the morning and realize you don’t ever have to worry about deciding what to wear because you have such an enviable wardrobe? The top picture is a closet of Estee Stanley, a celebrity stylist in LA and the bottom picture is the accessories from Roberto Cavalli show.Feeling sort of proper today. Maybe because I’ve been looking at Kate Middleton’s outfits too much. 1. Olive Lace Crop Jacket $110.00 (Topshop.com) 2. Jardin skirt $88.00 (jcrew.com) 3. Alexander Wang Marion Sling Bag – Butterscotch $650.00 (Opening Ceremony) 4.Cutler & Gross Sunglasses $475.00 (aubinandwills.com) 5. PARTY SANDAL $29.99 (ZARA) 6.Seahorsing Around Ring $19.99 (Modcloth)These jumping shots of fashion editors make me smile! Aren’t they so cute?

Weekend Attire

Saturday, July 9th, 2011

I wish it’s always 4 day work week instead of five days a week…we don’t have to wait too long for the weekend! It has been a pretty good week for me except for some mild annoyances. I’ve been stopping by Starbucks a couple of times this week and today after work, I went to order some chocolate cheesecake and I noticed how the cashier girl was sort of indifferent and cold towards me. Then there was this really cute guy right behind me and when it was his turn, her behavior completely changed! She was suddenly all chatty, flirtaious and all smiles. It was kind of weird to say the least. Have you guys noticed a different behavior among girls when there are cute guys around? I’ve never been one to compete for a guy’s attention. I usually ignored them and my approach is that if a guy is truly interested in me, he’ll ask me out or say something to me.

Anyway, here are my weekend outfit inspirations!Isn’t this outfit amazing? This is the streetstyle photographer Candice Lake in Paris. Those nude shoes are perfection!These all would make great day outfits, don’t t you think? A bold maxi skirt for a relaxing city stroll, a sexy sheer cover up for the beach and a pretty cut-out dress for lunch with the girls. From left to right: Talulah Spring Summer 2011, Paper Skye Spring Summer 2011, Alice McCall Spring Summer 2011Wow, those shoes! I can’t take my eyes off of them! As someone who doesn’t like to carry big bags, I need to find small bags like the ones these ladies are carrying! So chic!

My two favorite dresses and accessories to wear for the weekend! 1. Ammy dress $62.54 2. Holly dress $62.54 3. Indira Necklace $15.63 (Monki) 4. Straw Hat $13.00 (H & M) 5. WAYUU TAYA Mochilla knitted cotton cross-body bag $200.00 (netaporter.com) 6.  LOVE Multi Color Block Suede Platform Sandals $130.00 (Topshop) 6. LOVE multi color color block suede platform sandals $130.00 (Topshop) 7. Steve Madden ‘Kloudd-L’ Sandal $110.00 (Nordstrom)

Enjoy your weekend guys! Any plans? xoxoxoxoxoo
