Prabal Gurung for Target

Hello Everyone!!

In less than a month, Prabal Gurung for Target arrives in Target stores. I'm using my once every 3 months shopping pass for this event! (How can I pass this up?!) For those of you who don't know, I've restricted myself to shopping only once every 3 months as part of my New Year's resolution...to make matters interesting I only gave myself a $100-150 limit! I even made myself 4 shopping passes to use for shopping trips, it helps keep me focused on my goal on shopping less.

Perfect timing for Valentine's Day, Prabal Gurung x Target collection comes to stores on Sunday, February 10!
Mark your calendars!

Celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Beckham and The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton have all worn his designs.

The dress below is the dress that I have been obsessing over!

It's adorable, chic and very daring.

I can't show all of his designs, but below are just some of my favorite pieces from this designer collaboration for Target.

When it comes to February 10, I'll be waiting anxiously outside Target stores to be one of the first people to purchase Prabal Gurung's collection for Target! 

Prices range for $14.99-$199.99 and it includes everything from jewelry, shoes, handbags and clothing! 

Ladies, we'll be springtime chic with this collection

Designer collaborations for Target are always a success and this one shouldn't be any different. Last year, I tried to get the Jason Wu for Target collection and things didn't go the way I planned. Pieces sold out fast! On eBay it was selling for double the price! So for Prabal Gurung, I'm gonna be prepared!

Tips on how to shop Target's designer collection:

1. Call and make sure the Target store carried the collection

2. Get to the store before they open

3. Grab everything you like!!! You can always return or resell!

Happy Friday! Let's go enjoy the weekend.

BTW, progress on my Shop Less, resolution is so far so good! Day 11 and still going strong! I'm going to use my 1 of 4 shopping passes for the Prabal Gurung collection for Target.

Simply Playful

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately. I'm adjusting my work and family schedule so I have some time to myself to take pics. Sometimes I wish I had a sibling that can take quick snapshots of my OOTD's but for right now, I'm depending on myself, my Canon camera and a tripod. 

Also, this is my FIRST outfit post with my newly cut hair! I absolutely love this new haircut. It's easy to manage and super low maintenance.

EVERY girl needs a simple black skirt. I especially LOVE this skirt from Pink Stripes. The bottom hem has a think leather border all around. Paired this skirt with a printed black/white chiffon tank top. 

Simple yet playful outfit for a date with that perfect someone :D 

Top: Forever21

Skirt: Pink Stripes

Heels: Calvin Klein

Cluth: ALDO

4 more days until Friday!! We can make it!

Weekend Brunch

Hello everyone! 

Sorry for the mini break from outfit posting. But I've been battling with allergies, work and spending time with my parents because today is my Dad's birthday! 

I wore this outfit this weekend while spending time with my mom and dad! We spent the whole weekend eating and shopping. Quality family time is always good for the soul <3 

I'm still obsessed with maxi skirts and denim shirts so I decided to pair them together. My favorite obsessions in one outfit..what's not to love? Also, I found this Trouve clutch at Nordstrom Rack for only $34, originally $89! What a deal! This weekend was definitely awesome! 

Top: Bella Dahl from Nordstrom Rack

Skirt: Sag Harbor Petite thrifted at Crossroads

Shoes: Halogen from Nordstrom

Clutch: Trouve from Nordstrom Rack

Accessories: Kate Spade, H&M and Forever21

The weekend is never long enough for all the things I need and want to do. Wish we all had 3 day weekends but we don't. Only 4 more days until Friday!!! We can make it :D

Playful Business

Happy Thursday everyone! This is going to be a SUPER quick post because I have to watch the Olympics and catch up on the events that I recorded! 

GO USA! 

For work today, I decided to dress up little bit. I'm a huge fan of flower prints. So when I saw this peplum floral top at Nordstrom, you already know I had to get it. It's a cotton top and I paired it with a satin creme pencil skirt. Appropriate for business environment yet fun and playful. However, I'm super glad that I get to work in a casual business environment. Perks of working in the fashion industry! 

Top: Lily White 

Skirt: Forever21

 Heels: Calvin Klein

Bracelets: Forever21

I love the graphic floral print of this top! It's different than other flower printed tops that I've seen. The colors just POP out at you. What do you think of the top?

Dressed Down Tweed

Hey everyone! So it's been over a week since I've posted an outfit! 

I must say that I'm happy to finally own something TWEED. I've always been skeptical on how it would look on me, but I kinda like it. It has a grown up and mature feel to it. Definitely appropriate for an office job. 

This is what I wore to work today...

Frenchi Tweed Jacket

Love on a Hanger T-shirt

Levi's Skinny Jeans

Calvin Klein black pumps

Since this tweed jacket is such a statement piece, I played it down with a simple white t-shirt, blue jeans and black pumps. 

I got this tweed jacket, along with 2 more other pieces (outfits coming soon), at the Nordstrom Early Access Anniversary Sale. My mom is a Nordstrom card holder, so we were allowed to shop the sale before the public! So it pays to have a Nordstrom Card. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their Monday! Only 4 more days until Friday AND 7 days until my birthday!! Whoo hoo!

Flower appropriate

Happy Tuesday everyone! I don't know about you, but I thought today was Friday. It must be because tomorrow is 4th of July and I have the day off. 

The weather in SF is so up and down. In the morning is super cold and then in the afternoon it gets hot. So finding a comfortable outfit is challenging in the morning. 

What I find appropriate and trendy is a midi (shorter maxi dress) flower skirt. Its great for the cold morning weather because it fully covers my legs and still keeps me somewhat warm and it's also light enough to enjoy the afternoon sun. In the morning, I covered up with my mint green blazer and took it off later in the day for the hot weather. 

How I wore my Midi flower skirt:

Paired it with a simple white top, accessorized with my peach statement necklace, teal sunglasses and aquamarine colored kate spade watch, and my thrifted vintage Dooney & Burke handbag.

The purse was thrifted at Crossroads Trading Co.

Hello everyone! Today is such a hot day, summer has arrived. This will be a super quick blog post since I'm leaving to go bowling soon. Wearing flower print shorts, its a spring/summer staple for your wardrobe. I like how the print is subtle yet noticeable. I paired it with a sheer long sleeve blouse with a white tank top, teal sunglasses and matching shoulder purse and with ankle wedge booties. 

Enjoy the sun!! Summer is here!!!
