Fall-ing in Love with YOINS ( featured)



White Lace Blouse with Hollow Design
Here's another treat for you. A trendy online portal I discovered of which the outfits are simply divine. Lately, besides going into the blush pink rage, I am suddenly feeling extremely " laced-up" and this particular top caught my eye immediately as I came across their Facebook ad. That is when I discovered Yoins - a treasure trove of great Fall fashion and more...

Keeping this short and sweet, here are some gorgeous trending items I would highly recommend for you to style for Fall. Check out their stylish cute tops for women. I particularly picked out a few trend setting tops to tickle your taste buds.

Sexy Off Shoulder Flared Sleeves Blouse

Sexy Camouflage Pattern V Neck Lace  Up Front Top

Black Self Tie Design Cross Front Knitting Jumpers

Throw on a jacket or outerwear for cooler climates or wear it as it is indoors or in warmer weather - the choice is up to yours.

Celeb Looks and Designer Trends To Follow This Summer from Simons.ca

Hi everyone,

If you haven't noticed already, I had just put together a brand new Look & Feel for my blog. After 4 years, I figured it needed a little sprucing up for Summer 2016!

So to kick off and in celebration of a brand new " Simone - Your Style Architect", let me share with you a new multi label designer online store I discovered this week. Although they are canadian based but they DO offer shipping to the USA where many of you guys are from, so it is a perfect site to check out.

Simons.ca to me, is pretty much similar to ASOS.com where they offer a range of high end designer wear but also current season trending items on a lower budget for those who love to get the look for less. Besides their Women's collections, they also cover Men's and Home / Lifestyle items which was such a treat knowing you can get beautiful bedding sets, cushions and even decorative items like candle holders and items to dress up your kids' rooms.

Of course, my main focus was checking out the Women's collection more than anything else. Besides top designer labels such as Diane Von Fursternberg, Chloe, Vivienne Westwood, Michael Kors etc just to name a few, they also carry mid range brands from all over the world. So you are bound to find something to fit your budget. And like all amazing and successful online stores, they now carry a range of products and items under their own private label " Simons".

TREND # 1  - JUMPSUIT
Clockwise from left to right : Boho Chic Jumpsuit //Penny Lane Quay Sunglasses//
Pure Feather Hoop Earrings // Emma Go - Sophie Sandals

So, what  better way then to put together looks for you - mix and matching some of their items that caught my eye whilst surfing through their site. I am indeed getting excited about these looks, just unfortunate that being based in Hong Kong, they do not ship internationally as far as I know, but it won't hurt to drop them an email to find out more.

I was inspired by this classic black and white jumpsuit with a sexy halter top to put together this first Look. The comfort of those loose flowing palazzo pants makes this an outfit you can dress up or down. For me, I always believe that when you buy an item it needs to take you places. Not just working on a single look. So I styled this jumpsuit smart casual with beautiful large round rim sunglasses, and continued the bohemian theme with drop real feather earrings and accentuating the 2 tone outfit with these gorgeous metallic sandals!

If jumpsuits is your thing, here is another popular favourite style for this season. Blending culottes and jumpsuits into one.

Fluid Culotte Jumper


TREND # 2 - SHIRTDRESS

Clockwise from top left to right : Redesigned Chic Linen Shirtdress // Golden Hammered Cuff // Shiny Italian Clutch // Steve Madden Belinda Sandals

I love shirtdresses especially for Summer as it's so quick to get up and go and yet with different accessories, it again allows you room to play with your looks. A great travel item as well. This linen shirtdress in a pastel pink hue just called out to me. The sleeveless style was pretty with a twist of the higher neckline. No Summer wardrobe is complete without a pair of leather sandals and these Steve Madden ones are puuuurrrfect!

Kept accessories to the brown / gold tone hue and a simple clutch would finish off this look. All nice and simple yet understated elegance. A great weekend outfit or one for dress down Fridays in the office.

TREND # 3 - ONE PIECE SWIMWEAR

Clockwise from top left to right : Soft Straw Hat // O'Neill Bare Shoulder Beach Dress //
Vanessa Wu Metallic Sandals // Anne Cole Monochrome High Neck One Piece Swimsuit

Well, I don't know about you but I obviously prefer one piece swimsuits as opposed to bikini wear simply because I am so self conscious of my bulging waistline. Hey look - we are all not perfect so we need to choose the right items to suit our figures and that will accentuate our best assets and hide our flaws! ha ha ha....

Loving this beautiful floral swimsuit and figured a nice beach dress, metallic espadrilles and a beautiful sunhat would make it the perfect look to take you out on those fab summer beach holidays!

Here are also some other styles I was drawn to in their store :

Michael Kors Jewel Logo Bandeau One Piece Swimsuit

Simons Scalloped Pique Balconette One Piece Swimsuit

La Blanca Sahara Drape Halther One Piece Swimsuit

There are just so many items that fit my budget on Simons.ca, and here are some of Summer's hot trending items you may wish to consider when you head over to Simons.ca to put together your Summer Wardrobe.

Tassel Belt Tunic Dress

Wavy Lace Dress

Of course no outfit is complete without that perfect handbag to throw your stuff in. Loving these styles.

Nioulargo Hobo Bag

Italian Leather Sleek Saddles Bag

Which of the above would you consider getting? Love to hear from you in the comments below!

Love,

Happy weekend everyone and to those in Asia - a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!

I am slowly putting together my Fall Wardrobe and have done a recent Clothes Haul in Zara, MANGO and H&M. Will be putting a video together on my recent clothes haul, so watch this space!

Meanwhile, I came across a new online clothing store which I wish to share with you. Pretty much similar items to most online stores e.g Choies,Chicwish, Lookbook Store, Jollychic etc... ROMWE has a great selection and variety of items to pick out to build your Fall Wardrobe at a reasonable budget. As I love to always provide tips to my readers for "#Getting The Look for Less" I picked out a couple of items from their online store to share with you.

Keeping in line with Fall and upcoming Spring Summer 2016 trends, here are some of my choices - my wishlist.Feel free to click on the pictures on your favourite items to link you to their store for pricing, quick purchases, colour and size options.

1) Military Style

Army Green Sleeveless Hooded Jacket

A popular and classic style to trend for Fall/ Autumn 2015, I was immediately drawn to this army green vest for the style is casual yet funky with a hoodie attached.

2) Ripped Jeans

Ripped Denim Loose Pants
Ooh... am starting to get sucked into this ripped jeans trend. Kinda like this loose fit cut as it's nice and casual to match with a casual sweater or tee. You can also dress it up with a structured jacket or biker jacket and stilettos to channel that inner rock chick in you!!

High Waist Ripped Denim White Pants
High waisted pants, funny enough I have discovered, actually is perfect for those of us who are slightly conscious of our waistlines or tummy area. It actually conceals this slight imperfection rather than accentuate it. So try this style for a change and with the slim cutting it naturally highlights the length of your legs.

3) Knit 

Grey Long Sleeve Casual Dress
I personally love this casual dress style as it's trendy, stylish and again something you can dress up or down by pairing your accessories carefully. A sucker for grey ( the new black) I envision this dress as something you can knock around in - comfy and chic.

Long Sleeve Casual Knit Blue Cardigan
I hardly own long knit dresses or cardigans. However fashion is all about exploring and this Fall I intend to try and style long knit cardigans, vests and dresses. I think this will look really cool with black jeans/ pants and booties.

4) Dresses

V Neck Floral Slim Dress
If I am not mistaken, this beautiful maxi dress was on sale but what a perfect outfit with the V neckline which is so slimming. The wrap style aka DVF dresses which spells elegance, long sleeves and the maxi length for the colder nights is just ideal for Fall. Pair it with a longer cardigan and you have a nice evening outfit to go out to town with.

Army Green Long Sleeve Dress
Again, loving this colour for Fall and breaking away from the standard greys, blacks or navy blues which are usally Winter favourite colours. The long sleeves gives this dress that vintage appeal yet the shorter hemline to trend in cooler weather is a nice change especially in places with milder winter or even milder Fall weather. 

Long Sleeve Peplum Hem Suede Khaki Dress
Available in Khaki or Grey, this suede dress would be so ideal for Fall and heading into Winter. Suede is a much sought after fabric for Fall/Winter 2015 and likewise  the happy peplum hemline. I somehow prefer the Khaki colour to the grey.

Lace Layered Assymetrical Dress in Green
Before you scream "Green!! No way!"", this pastel apple green lace dress was screaming "Givenchy"to me as soon as I saw it online. The subtle apple green is actually very refreshing for Spring Summer and I would think for those of you in tropical climate - this dress would be nice for your year end parties. If you have been following the recent NYFW trends and styles for 2016, Givenchy's take on SS 2016 was all about lingerie style and lace.  This bohemian take on lace dresses would be perfect to trend for SS 2016 - so it's definitely on my wishlist!

Color Block Sleeveless with Mesh Pleat Dress
Christian Dior was such an inspiration for Car Wash Pleats for Fall/Autumn 2015. So when I saw this lovely colour block dress in nude/ black combination - I immediately said "Yes ! This is perfect". The peek a boo pleat of the dress is its unique feature and its colour combination is perfect for those elegant year end parties as well.

5) Shoes

Black Stiletto Ankle Strap Sanda
Believe you me, I have been looking for a nice pair of Black Stiletto Heels with very thin and minimum straps for awhile. I know this is not a new style however finding the right pair with the right fit, and heel height was kinda difficult for me. Battling whether to get an all leather or a suede pair is another factor. But for what it's worth, I think this pair is gorgeous and perfect to match with the ripped jeans or the dresses I have highlighted above. Just Divine!!!

Black Pointy Zipper Side Stiletto Boots
OMG!!! The red lacquered soles and faux leather upper just screams "LOUBOUTIN" to me! I think this pair of boots would be perfect for Fall/Winter with skirts, jeans, pants... you name it - a versatile pair of boots to own!


6) Jackets

Brown Long Sleeve Lapel Jacket
With almost a 50% discount on this item, it's practically a no brainer. Everyone needs a suede jacket in their closet for Fall / Winter. I particularly like this crop jacket style and in brown - it is a piece one can easily mix and match for the season.

Black Stand Collar Oblique Jacket
Without a doubt, a must-have item in any fashionista's wardrobe! A black leather ( or faux leather) crop biker jacket. I like the detailing on the sides, cuffs and shoulder of this jacket. Unique and yet elegant in its own way. Another must buy!!

Of course there are SOOOO many other items I could have picked out from this online store - with sales happening up to 50% and more - it's practically a steal for some of these hot items. Before you go mistaking that I am being sponsored by the company - well I am NOT! It's just a wishlist I have put together seeing its a newly discovered online store for myself and I am looking at purchasing these items very soon. So my opinions and selections here are 100% mine and unbiased.
