Although many celebrities try to wow us in yellow diamonds on the red carpet over the years (ie. Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Julia Roberts, etc.) but hands down, Emma Stone's Louis Vuitton yellow diamond choker necklace from this year's Oscars is my favorite and best styling ever! I love the way it compliments her spring-sunshine vibes with her natural complexion and pastel green dress! I was obsessed by the way the yellow diamond center delicately sparkled when she was on the podium giving her thank you speech!  And her dress is quite spectacular too! When the camera viewed the audience ..read more

I actually never watched High School Musical, but I am a fan of Vanessa Hudgens in The Princess Switch on Netflix, and she is a fellow petite! Recently, I've been following her on Instagram for short-ladies style inspiration.  I'm mostly fascinated by her sweaters and sweatshirts that she wears at home while she promotes grocery store products or whatever they pay her for advertising.  These two sweatshirts are my current favorites to emulate:  1). Okay, so I'm not a fan of the velour fabric, but I love the teal-sage color, voluminous sleeves, the angel-print at the chest, and t ..read more

I am thrilled that there is a another refreshing way to style a bob hair cut. The flipped bob is back in thanks to these Golden Globes looks... America Ferrera's whole outfit is actually my favorite from the Golden Globes!  I love a floor-length column dress on a petite stature!  She is on point with the hair, the layered tennis necklace, and the sequins!  Ayo Edebiri also trending with the column style dress but ankle length.  But the showstopper for me is the hair! Simple, cute and sleek at the same time! Finally, queen of the evening Emma Stone in her flip lob!  ..read more

The varsity baseball jacket has been trendy these past 2-3 years in the fashion retail world, and I've contemplated that long whether or not it deserves a spot in my current wardrobe. My biggest qualm is that I'm in my 40's and debating if would it make me look like I'm trying too hard to be young? Because let's face it, it belongs to the teenagers and totally brings me back to my high school days with my best friend wearing his yellow and blue letterman jacket with a huge "Orchestra" logo embroidered on it. Wasn't exactly cool and more nerd vibes.  But Pharrell Williams, one of my favor ..read more

One of my alternate wedding dress dream just came true 5 years later after my actual wedding day...found a sheer collared white dress that is under $30 at Forever 21 that can pass as an unconventional wedding dress. Just needs a better slip dress underneath to make it more elegant and church-appropriate. This dress actually looks better in person compared to the stock photo.  Forever 21 Sheer Tiered Maxi Dress (I fit size XS)  Currently on sale $27.99 ..read more

It has been awhile since I reviewed anything in detail, but thought I'd post a thorough pictorial review of my 2023 Black Friday purchase of the Lo & Sons Waverly 2 bag. I originally was scrambling to find a small red bag to match an ugly Christmas sweater for an office party, and Google search lead me to the Lo & Sons website. The 50% off sale definitely caught my eye. The price is surprisingly affordable for some genuine leather products, but I decided to give the cactus leather a try, because based on their comparison chart, cactus leather beats all the other leathers in durabi ..read more

2023 is definitely the year of Zendaya. Previously, I always thought Zendaya's red carpet styles were on the awkward/adventurous/playful spectrum, but something happened to her this year since the SAG awards, where her style suddenly became jaw-dropping gorgeous! It feels like that moment when you realize your little sister has grown up into an elegant woman. She's been on point with the hair, the jewels, and the gown! This starry-night dress she wore from Indian designer Rahul Mishra is a dream!  I've always been a fan of sparkly navy dresses that resembles the night's sky full of ..read more

 This jacket is everything!  It's like a more feminine, fashion-girl version of the member's only jacket that was popular when I was a tween in the 90's.  ..read more

The year 2023 for me is definitely all about learning how to incorporate handbags into my wardrobe. Since the holidays are here, I'm feeling like I need an updated red bag to carry around to house parties that feels more modern and chic.  Back in 2012, I attempted to try out a red leather bag for the first time, but was so concerned about the red dye bleeding/staining my clothes, that I got rid of the bag and never thought of it since.   So the dilemma is, should I give a red bag a shot again?   I'm leaning towards it since I laid my eyes on the popular Bottega Veneta ..read more

I had admired these circle/round leather handbags on style influencers for a long time, but haven't made the leap of purchase. Thought I'd document it here to remember how much I love the looks for Fall: from Extra Petite from Fashion Jackson Actually pretty cute for Spring too: From belle.so.chic ..read more
