Clothing Haul: Jason Wu for Target

Just a quick post today about some clothes I bought at Target recently. 

Target partnered up with designer Jason Wu to create clothes for Target. Price are not bad either. I think the most expensive are the dresses can run up to $50... Accessories were also sold with this collaboration. The only items I saw left was a color block style black/cream handbag for $49.99.

The funny thing with this collection was that I went in to Target the day after it was released (Feb 6th) and I seriously could not find any Jason Wu items anywhere. There were no posters, signage/signs that point people where the collection might be. It was a total waste of ten minutes walking around the clothing section of the store looking for clothes that weren't there. I think Target (all three that I went to), could have done a better job marketing this collaboration. I would like to see signs and pictures of the designer being featured somewhere in the store.

Okay, enough rant!

Anyway, last week I went to Target again and this is what I scored...Not bad after waiting almost two weeks. Of course, there wasn't much to select from but I ended up with cute items that I can wear to work.

Love this blush pink blouse with white polka dots and cream tie with pink polka dots...Perfect for a work outfit. Great under a blazer or cardigan. Definitely adds femininity to any outfit.

I found these two blouses that can be worn with a blazer or cardigan on top. It's a little too square/box-like shape for me but I think I can make it work. I do like the pleated detail down the center.

Love this top because you can wear it casual or dressed depending on the rest of your outfit. This knit blush top with the black tie I can see myself wearing with a work pants and either a cardigan or blazer on top. Really love the tie accent.

A nice casual gray T-shirt with lace detailing down the center

My other favorite. This cream knit top with black and white tie collar and circular detail is so cute.

Best of all these tops are quite comfortable.

Price-wise these tops range from $22-$34 USD

I can't wait to wear these. Maybe I'll post an outfit of the day.

What did you pick up from the Jason Wu for Target collection?

Till next time,

Via Spiga Kitten Heels

This last week or so I've been suffering from a cold and cough. So, last week I pretty much didn't go to work.  I slept a lot trying to get better so I can get back on my feet again. And while I was at home, Mr UPS rang my doorbell one day and handed me a huge box from Hautelook. My drug induced brain was foggy at first trying to remember what it was I ordered at Hautelook that seem to get to me rather fast - for a change. If you don't know what Hautelook is, it is an online website where designer fashion (for women, kids + men) are on sale for a discounted price. The site also sells beauty items, accessories, home decor & travel deals. Why I was so confused at first is because 1.) I ordered a few things from Hautelook in a week's time and 2.) Hautelook shipments, length of time items gets to you, well...sucks! Imagine my surprise when i received this box so soon.

When I opened the box, this is what I found inside:

I almost forgot about this shoe. Isn't it gorgeous?  Perfect for Spring! I love this black sandal. It has a woven pattern at the front and is the perfect heel height as well. I love kitten heels. It can be worn with any outfit, dressed up or down. I imagine this shoe worn with a capri pant whether it's jeans or a dressier pant. And it can be worn with a skirt as well.

I can't wait for the weather to get warm and I can't wait to get a pedicure so I can wear these shoes:)

Happy Sunday!

Cool Bling Finds....

It's been a long while since I posted a jewelry post on my blog...I got sidetracked with makeup:) ha ha

Anyway, I wanted to share some bling-worthy finds here. Last week, I was wandering around Nordstrom for some Chanel items (new Fall 2011 makeup) when I spotted some jewelry items on sale across the way from Chanel's counter. I immediately browsed through what I could see and my eyes caught the attention of dangly earrings. I thought it was so pretty that I immediately snatched it up. And then my wandered over to a tall rack that had a bunch of cute looking necklaces when I spotted a blinged-out necklace that matched the color of the earrings.

So, here are the two...Aren't they pretty?

I would describe the necklace and earrings more like a smoky quartz stones. The drop earrings would be perfect for night out black top or cream with the hair pulled back...Hmmm..may have to try that. The necklace is adjustable to you can make it as short as possible or have it hang looser around the neck. I think it would be perfect with a v-neck top. The blingness can be paired with something more simple.

I'm very happy with my purchase at Nordstrom. I normally don't buy their jewelry items and these happened to be on sale so I lucked out:)

A couple of months ago, I purchased some jewelry at Hautelook by a jewelry named Amrita Singh. I bought 2 items: a rather huge statement necklace and ring..both in a coral red color- perfect for summer.

I was super excited to try the ring until I opened the package and this is what I ended up with. I was so shocked!!! The ring literally came apart when I took it out of the plastic. As you can see, the stone is not even glued on the band at all. I must say I was VERY disappointed. It was my first time ordering jewelry from Hautelook and my first time trying the line and this is what I get in the mail. Unfortunately, at the time that I ordered the ring, there were no refunds allowed on any items purchased. I'm sad about that. I can hot glue this together...but for the amount of money spent and the time it took to get to me, I would think the quality would be better.

On the other hand, the necklace is gorgeous. It's a bold statement necklace for sure.

Has this ever happen to anyone? Online order of jewelry and it didn't arrive in the condition you expected? Right now, I'm very weary of ordering any jewelry items on Hautelook...Oh well, lesson learned.

Pretty dangley things...

Could not log on and upload this pic earlier. This is part 2 of my first post. The first pic was the bracelet. This is part of my Macys accesories purchase.

I love this dangling set. So pretty and so girly. Perfect to dress up any simple top. It's just plain pretty.

This is the other pair I bought. Gold tone and dangling as well. It has a red beading at the top. And the main gold part of the earring has a detailed hammered design. And the bottom are 3 small disc of flat shell design. Again, very pretty and party ready. Can't wait to wear these!

What a day to shop...

Here's what I came away with: Gold tone bracelet with gray/lavender pearl

...only because there's always a reason to want to buy something. Even if your intention is to browse somehow you walk away with something. For example, today I was just suppose to "browse".

Browsing turned into a major shopping spree: Dangerous, as the heading above states. The damage technically began yesterday or last night. It's a friday habit for me to head to the mall just to walk around (another word for browsing). Headed to Macys passing through the jewelry section. Decided to take a peak at the discounted bin of jewelry. Just a mish-mash of earings, bracelets and necklaces. Didn't really think I would find anything I would like and especially on SALE!!!! I found 3 items: 2 earrings and 1 bracelet. And I found them for cheap too! How lucky am I? Really was not going to spend but how can one pass up on a sale?
