Blazing Blazers for August (Plus a Shoes Giveaway!)

Blazer by ONLY (similar ones link here)

Tank top by American Eagle

Shorts by Hollister

Heels by EBLAN

After an amazing summer vacation, I came back to the US for Fall semester. There are two things I love in this season: golden falling leaves on the street and blazing blazers, which are made for this specific season.

Blazers make you look professional but still chic. Match them with shirts and pants; you are good to deliver a presentation or go to work. Match them with beautiful dresses; you will get people’s attention without the risk of being too flirting.

Today on blog, I am matching a long blazer with tank top and shorts. The shorts cannot be seen from the back. It’s like the blazer becomes a dress. It’s all about making your legs look longer.

Friends for ten years.

Haven’t written articles for ages since I got the internship in Ruder Finn to promote Cartier in China. Now I am a full-time student again and already back in US for a couple of days. This blog post is about my seven best friends and out ten years’ friendship. Don't know how you guys think, but ten years is a very long time for me. In ten years friends may fade into strangers, lovers may break up, but our little group of eight is still solid.

We first met as middle school classmates when we were early teens. We always hang out together, like we are gonna die if we don’t stick to each other and talk about everything. I think the secret of our long-lasting friendship is NEVER STOP WRITING TO EACH OTHER. Those old fashion envelops with little hearts and stars still lie in my drawer, and every time I reread them, I can still smile like a high school girl. I confess e-mail and twitter may replace paper letters these days, but they counts since I nearly forget how to write my name with pen instead of keyboard.

After this summer, we will be in seven different cities and three different countries, so we decide to leave each other some more beautiful memories by taking these photos together. So that when we are lonely in other countries, starving for can’t have real Chinese food, or crying for missing paper deadlines, we can say to ourselves, we are not alone~:P.

Simple Chic

Thanks to Charlotte Russe for sending the blue skater skirt to me!

This outfit is one of my favorites. Classic top and skater skirt match is the simplest but most popular way to dress for summer. I chose white for cardigan, heels and purse for a sense of unity. Blue is the only highlight color in this outfit and daisy is the only print, so the whole look will not appear to be redundant.

Hope you enjoyed this look and happy Sunday!

A Trip to Magnificent Miles

Tomorrow I am going on the plain back to China. I plan to spend three months there and come to the US t continue my study. Before I leave, a trip is very necessary, given the fact that shopping in big cities in America can be extremely pleasant compared to China. The reason is simple: tax is way lower!

Its my second time to Chicago, we choose to stay in IVY hotel because it locates right next to “Magnificent Miles”, the shopping heaven. Different shopping malls and designer stores are so close to each other, and so close to the hotel, I can just walk to shopping from hotel without any worry about parking. The price is reasonable (about $200 per night) so I did not expect to have a very luxurious room. However, to my surprise, the room was very spacious with a confortable bedroom and a very good-looking living room.

What I like most about this hotel is the bar in 16^th floor, where you can have a drink and enjoy the view from up high. The pictures are all took at that spot. Hope you enjoy them.
