One More Outfit With My New Banana Republic Belt

I love wearing dresses in the summer. It seriously cools me down 5 degrees. I bought this cute blue strappy dress from H&M for $10. I have been wearing this over a tee, which looked ok, but really hot (and I mean temperature wise), because the top of the dress is tight elastic and I’m wearing it over another shirt.

The other day, I thought I would wear this dress over my favorite Great Plain blouse, and I was soooooo hot, and thought I could not go through the day like this. So I pulled the blouse out of the dress, and buckled it with my skinny Banana Republic belt I just bought which I have blogged about here. And they looked so perfect together, checked it out. I love it, it’s so me.

Dress: H&M

Blouse: Great Plain

Belt: Banana Republic

Shoes: Target

The blouse has straps all through it, but light enough to compliment the prints on the dress. That skinny belt just tie everything together seamlessly. The best part is wearing them this way didn’t make me sweat all day.

Sunday Best

I seriously love those belts I bought from Banana Republic last week; they are just so versatile. I wear this outfit to church on Sunday. I think the elastic belt down played the outfit perfectly, so it doesn’t look I’m going to a business meeting. A light jacket is perfect for the chilly a/c in our chapel.

Dress: Target

Blazer: Theory

Shoes: Baker

Belt: Banana Republic

This is the last time I’m wearing these shoes, they are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever had. I love the look though, I just have to find some comfy ones look like that. These ones are ready for donation.

Beauty Test – Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie

We were trying to find something to do that doesn’t involve the heat outside on Saturday, and we (I) decided to go to the mall. My husband does not like to go to the mall, because he knows it means we are going to spend money. I told myself we are just going to window shopping, but then I got sucked in buying another lip gloss that I don’t need.

I love lip glosses, and that’s why I probably have 10 of them just sitting around,  but I always forget to use them, so they are just sitting there, kind of waste of money. However this one is different. I saw the ad in magazines, and they looked so healthy and delicious. I mean they certainly got the message crossed. Apparently this little wand is packed with Vitamin C and antioxidant that supposedly to make your lips look good and age slower. 

 

Of course I had to try it at Nordstrom to see if it’s really that awesome. I tried on a coral color called Mango-thon, and a pink color called Pink Me Up. I Loved how the texture looked after I applied; it seriously smoothed my lips up, like I’m wearing a layer of plastic cover on my lips, but my lips look natural. It’s full of shine but not very sticky like some other lip glosses I have. The coverage is a lot stronger than normal lip gloss too. I’m not sure about the anti-aging part, but the amazing smoothing feature has definitely sold on me.

At the end I went to the mango one, because it suits my complexion better. Now I love, love it, and actually remember to apply it before I leave the house, I just hope that is going to last, hehe…

Don’t Do This to Me

9:52p.m., July 29th, 2009

99 Fahrenheit – out side, Las Vegas, Nevada

89 Fahrenheit – inside of my house

--------------- a/c DOWN ---------------

I’m sitting in front of the computer, sweating. All the fans are on high, and I’m trying to calm my heard down, so I feel cooler, but I’m still sweating, like a pig.

My make up is all melted, there’s not a single outfit I can think of to make me feel cooler. My hair is all sticky, and I seriously can’t think of anything fashionable at this moment. This is the second day our air conditioning down. I can’t say that I’m coping with it very well. It makes me has no patient, no inspiration, and no motivation. I’m feeling very bad for my child who has to deal with me in this situation. I don’t know how people back in the days use to do it. We are so spoiled now.

Sitting in front of the computer sure doesn’t cool me down, in fact, I feel even hotter from the heat that is coming out from the PC.

Repair guy, please come to our house and have it fixed tomorrow. So I can be a good mother and wife again. Thank you!

HOT!!!!! Errrrr……

Cool Site to play Dress Up

You probably how much we love polyvore. We had so much fun creating many modest and stylish outfits for Christmas last year.

Now I just found a new site, kind of does the same thing, but on a model, like playing dress up on a doll. The site is called Looklet. I created this cute and modest outfit on there in no time, check it out!  You can view it from the front,

Or the back,

Or close up.

Everything she’s wearing is listed on the right. Doesn’t she look modestly hot? Ready for a weekend shopping trip with the girlfriends!

Mission completed, maxi dress.

If you have been reading my posts, you probably know that I wanted a maxi dress so bad. Well, it took me a LONG time to find one I love, but I did find it.

Of course, I found this gorgeous dress in Nordstrom Rack, my favorite store. It was under $30, very well priced. I wear it with a white v-neck tee and Target T-strep sandals ($20), super cute.

I love this long dress, it’s so romantic and summery.

Don’t you love the first picture, the setting could be perfect for a wedding gown. Who has a wedding for me to shoot?
