summer essentials-flowy tops







Right now, i'm crazy bout flowy tops. I wear it almost to every occasion and match them with almost everything. shorts. mini skirts. jeans. It's comfortable, and it's the perfect way to hide that bulge on your tummy :))
But you need some skill to sport them without looking preggie :P.
Here are some do's and dont's based on my "research" :))
1. when you pair it with jeans, make sure it's skinny jeans. other wise you will look heavy top and bottom and ppl might think that u just gained some extra weight.
2. pair it with mini, jeans preferably.. DONT pair it with frilly, pleated, volume. Or even worse, long bohemian-look skirt, you will end up looking like the olsens (without the hefty bank account).
3. wear it with short (this is my favorite combo). jeans and cotton for daytime. For an evening out, choose the ones with fancy fabrics. such as silk and lace. or pair it with a flattering and dressy short.
Hope that'll help.
Meanwhile here are few of my favorite from some online shops. I will post my personal collection in different post. enjoy! :)

5. white embriodered top from anna sui

summer essentials-espadrilles





Summer is here, time to gear up, ladies! pack you things and let's enjoy the sun!...Uhhm...okay, we have summer all year long here, but this time we do have a reason to buy one more pair of shoes :) Espadrilles is my favorite item for the season. it's light, comfy, and stylish, laid-back without looking sloppy . You can pair it with anything. shorts. flirty skirts. sundress. If you're a simple, no fuzz-girl, white is definetely a safe way to go. But if you want to add a little twist to your outfit, opt for yellow or turqoise. those are the big hit this season. Tough i personally love the white one. it's simple, chic and could easily match any of my outfit. Check out espadrillesetc.com, they certainly have good range of colors and styles. Or click neimanmarcus.com for some top designer products. Well, whatever the color color or style you choose, just wear it with attitude. Here are some of my favorite (yeah, i'm a sucker for anything white. sorry, couldnt find the pics of the bright colored ones :P)
