Armani Exchange Faux Fur Collar Wrap XS & Simple Summer outfit

I feel like summer has just started and it's going to be in the 75-80s in the next few days! YAY! I love being able to wear short and a t-shirt and not worry about lugging a jacket around all day. I know it sounds silly to be excited about, but it's a definite luxury not to worry about being cold.

Wearing:
Bebe V-neck Tee. XS. (similar here, here & here)
AE Destroyed Denim Shorties. 00. Waist a little loose...I think I need to just throw it in the dryer for a bit to shrink it.
Valentino Shades. I got my eyes dilated today -- in case you're wondering why I have them on in ever picture.
Botkier Bag.
F21 necklace.





A|X Faux Fur Collar Wrap. XS. Love the soft faux fur & the material is pretty decent.
I got the heather grey color (looks darker in person) & there is another color called heather snow (which I think looks more like cream).

I also really like the Ruched cardigan! Too bad I didn't see it at the store or else I would have gotten it too.

They're doing a promo on sweaters where you take $20 off the original price and shipping is free for purchases over $100.
I have to say A|X stuff looks better in person than it does on their website. I think it's the opposite for most retailers.

Aritzia Dress at the Great Gatsby -- Part II




This is Villa Montalvo in Saratoga. It's a beautiful estate and a great venue for parties & weddings! It is one of the oldest landmark in the state was built by James Phelan (California's 1st Senator). Below is a picture of me and Aunt Sheila --she is related to James Phelan. :)



Here's my bf (in white).

On the balcony.

In one of the many rooms.


Someone gave me hat to wear, but I had to take it off because it was really hot & humid outside. I think the feather hair clip looks better and plus I'm not much of a hat person either. I would say a definite no with this outfit don't you think?

Bebe Dress XXS & B-Day


I had this dress for over a year and have never worn it because it's short, very fitted & the low back. I thought the long cardigan helped cover some of that up & made it less hoochie! LoL



It was my bf's b-day so I thought I'd take him to get some yummy steak!



We had a delicious 3 course meal and boy did we go home with food coma!

Make a wish!!

Camel Wool Peacoat






Friday night was date night! My bf took me to a fabulous restaurant called Skool. The food was delicious, the decor was pretty & the ambiance was perfect. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area.

Wearing:

Bebe Wool Peacoat. XS. (similar here & here)
I had this for years and only have worn it a handful of times. The material is really nice and thick and the inside is lined with a really soft material. What bothers me a little is that the sleeves aren't full length! It leave part of arms and hands cold!
I do LOVE LOVE the color. Camel is becoming my favorite fall color.


Forever21 Blouse. Size S. Also worn in this post. (similar here & here)

Forever21 Necklace. (similar here & here)

True Religion Jeans. Size 24. One size smaller would have been better. (similar here)

Michael by Michael Kors Pumps. Size 6. (similar here & here)

Speedy LV Bag.


Hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start too!

Aritzia Sweater XXS

Unbelted


I initially wore the outfit with a belt. It kept slipping down my waist, it got really annoying so I decided to take it off! I really hate pulling and tugging on clothing parts!


Trying some photos in the dark...didn't turn out so well. I think I like day time pics a little bit better.



Hey my fellow blogerellas...if you live in close proximity to an Aritzia I'd definitely go check them out. A lot of their stuff comes in size XXS. If they don't carry a certain size that you're looking for they'd be more than happy to have it shipped from another store for free.

American Apparel Shorts , Free People Top & Aritzia Finds!

The weather has been nuts. It's been cold all week and it's 80 degrees today! Well now (night time), it's foggy & freezing again. I'm not complaining about the heat, but I wished it would be consistent because it's doing crazy things to my skin!

Wearing:

American Apparel Stretch Twill High-Waist Zipper
Shorts. Size 24/25. Available in 7 different colors. (similar here & here)
Free People Green Bat Wing Top. Size XS.
Steve Madden Black Kitten Heels. Size 6. (similar here & here)
See by Chloe Purse.

Face:
My skin has been really dry lately especially my cheeks.
Instead of wearing a powder blush, a cream blush will be a better option. It's more moisturizing and gives a nice dewy look. You can also wear cream blush on your lips too. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture :(
I'm wearing Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge on lips and cheeks. Color Powder Pink.
For application on cheeks, apply with a foundation brush.


Below are also my finds from Aritzia today.
Loving their fall selection! Sorry I was too lazy to model it. Here are pictures below and you can click on it to zoom.
