Styling BLACK LACE TANK TOP

Styling Black Lace Tank

When you think of certain clothing items, like black lace tank top or gothic dresses, they can be worn only a handful of times or maybe only at certain occasions. But if they are styled correctly, you can make a lot of wear out of them.

Black tank lace tops can be worn as camisoles and underneath a silky kimono top for a nice summer day outfit. Black goes with everything and when lace is added to them, it just add so much more character to the tank. Of course, you have to be careful with lace tank top if your work environment is more conservative. Layer it with an office-appriproiate jacket would always work.



For a night out, this hollow out lace black tank top with a flowy long skirt would be perfect.




Or a spaghetti-strap black simple dress would do. Accessorize it with a vibrant-colored scarf and statement necklace would make this a stunning outfit.

Summer Sale

Currently, Rosegal is having a great Summer Sale and even better, they are kind enough to send my readers another additional 10% off using code:RGEN.

Perfect WHITE DRESS

Perfect WHITE DRESS

Summer is here and what better time it is to get cool dresses.  My choice would be either a perfect white dress or maxi dress for comfort. Come on, summer in Canada is so short(maybe 2 months max.) and when you find the right dress, you wear it over and over again until Labor Day.



I like simple designs and comfort is a must. When you think of hot weather, I don't want to be stuck in a tight dress all day long feeling uncomfortable. A flowy dress is perfect.



Another favorite for the summer is the maxi dress. I love floral prints and this dress is great for a summer BBQ or just a night out. 

Zaful is a new online store I have discovered lately and they have an amazingly large collection of clothing, accessories and shoes. Prices are very affordable and quality is good.


Zaful is kind enough to give my readers a coupon code: ZFEN for 10% off selected items and here is the link.

New Wish List

New Wish List
Why did I have a new wish list? Was shopping first time online at Talbots on the weekend and was sooooooooooooo excited about the 40% off everything sale. Grabbed a couple of things and thought I had scored big time. Checked my email this morning and got a notification from Talbots saying one of the items I bought was not available. I hate that. It's just like bringing a hard-to-find item to the cashier in the store and was told " sorry, this was put on hold for somebody and was mistakenly taken onto the floor". What a bummer!!! So here it is, my new list and will wait for any decent promo( I don't buy things at full retail price!!) and I will grab a few things to compensate for my Talbots loss.

Have been obsessing with purple outfits lately. Grabbed the boardwalk stripe tee from J. Crew yesterday. Just love the stripes and color. It's final sale so just hope it will fit well.

Bought the Marc by Marc Jacobs puffy bag from Holt Renfrew when I was in Toronto. Just love his bags and affordability. The bag is so light and what a change from my other heavy leather bags.

When I was surfing online mindlessly this morning(yes, lazy Sunday morning, nothing better to do), stumbled upon Talbots website. Have never bought from them before but they are having an excellent sale on. But thought I'd just read some more reviews before placing my order. A few mins later, went to visit one of my favorite blogs: ExtraPetite and she was posting about the sale and a promo code, see post here. Everything is 40% off, including regular, sale and outlet prices. Use code 019588431 at checkout. Not sure when this code expires. So if you're interested, use the code soon. Have fun!
***updated Jan 16/12 @2:05pm, I just tried the code and it has expired. It was working this morning but I thought I would place the order after lunch, oh well, next time ***

OOTD Dec 21/11


Just received my order from Lands' End Canvas. Got this Poplin floral shirt(peat dot) in small but am surprised that it fits much bigger than I thought. It is pale yellow with black tiny polka dots. 


I am trying on the new shirt with Abercrombie & Fitch vest (from last year). My shirt was originally priced at $ 49.50 but on sale now for $ 16.99. I managed to grab one with the special promo last week (40% off and free shipping) and got the shirt for $11.99 SHIPPED to me. What a great deal!

I'm starting to like more and more about Lands' End and Lands' End Canvas. I got a couple of cotton turtlenecks, a cardigan and this shirt. Very happy with the quality and style.

OOTD Dec 20/11

Received the J Crew Perfect Shirt in Tartan last week and I couldn't wait to wear it.

I have always loved plaid shirts and this is by far my favorite. One down side about this shirt is this fits tighter than what I have expected. I have read in others' blogs about the same issue. Some say it would stretch out more as you wear more. I guess I will have to wear it every day till Christmas to make it more comfortable and have more room for my holiday feasts!

I'm wearing this with Lands' End Canvas Heritage Cardigan in carnial red and jeans since I'm taking my little nephew out for lunch today.

Daily dog-walking outfit

Even though it hasn't been very cold the month, I still need to dress warm when I go out for walks with my doggie.

Love my winter jacket(Canada Goose Trillium Parka). Canada Goose is very popular among the east coast here. Yes, I know it is not the most flattening parka you can get but it is very warm. I have seen many people wearing this jacket inside the shopping malls. Don't know how they can bare that. It is so warm. I will only wear that outside when it is -10 C. I got this parka this fall. It was weird to try on thick winter jackets when it was 15 C. But last year Canada Goose jackets were pretty much sold out in November already. Rarely go on sale but I got a good deal. There are a lot of knockoffs online and are selling for a fraction of its original price but they are not authentic.

My After Christmas Wants

Am I ready for Christmas? Nope, I still have a few small gifts to get.

But I want to be prepared. During the holiday season, will be busy eating and visiting with family.

I'm all shopped out but who wouldn't want more items in her closet when a good sale is on?

I'm sure after Christmas, will be tons of promotions that I can't resist. There are items that I wouldn't get at regular prices. These are also the items that I would normally get. Theses are items I would want to add in my closet but not necessarily need to have them.
