This oversized sheer button down tropical print shirt is just what I was looking for, large enough to be a dress, sheer enough to be worn over a sexy body hugging top such as a lace lingerie or a swimsuit, and bright enough to be worn on a warm, sunny weekend. I almost screamed...

These shorts were once baggy tapered trousers when I brought them home from a local thrift store. It was actually a matching set with the silk jacket in the same color that I wore couple posts before. I thought I could wear them as they were but it just didn’t work for me, which...

Went to Goodwill for the very first time on Saturday where I scored a bagful of beautiful stuff that cost me $25 in total. This navy blue floral dress caught my eye while I was going through a “maxi dress” rack, although it isn’t as “maxi” as typical ones. I love the little details...

I wore my $3 skirt again and many people commented on it. Sales girls at LF (which btw carries the cutest stuff ever!) told me I look super cute when I was drooling over their sheer cutout blouses, crochet shorts, and floral print wide pants (because I’m still on my “shopping fast”- only one...

leopard and colorful things

wow, I had a hundred things I wanted to write about but now that I’m completely exhausted (from work, kickboxing and whatnot), my brain decided to stop cooperating. By the way, this leopard jacket is the jewel I was talking about in the previous post. It’s my mom’s from the 80′s when she used...

You are going to call me a dork for this but the truth is… that I’ve had dreams about this outfit. It excited me so much that I would dream about putting the outfit together and taking beautiful pics of it so I can ultimately share them with you all. It’s romantic, vintage, a...

Spring is in the air

I have recently been into vintages, or thrifted items in a more mundane term. For the longest time, I was freaked out at the thought of buying something that used to belong to someone else. As funny as it sounds, I do have a mild case of OCD and I just didn’t quite understand...

How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? I think I gained at least five pounds, which actually doesn’t make sense because I’m deathly sick at the moment. How does someone pig out so much over consecutive days and get sick? I would think that all that food consumption would build some kind of immune system in your...

Melrose can present quite a mysterious, if not strange shopping experience. Not only will you find unusually provocative outfits or boutique owners dressed in Halloween costumes in the middle of summer, you immediately become a target the minute you walk into a store. You are basically trapped unless you come up with a strategic...
