Levi's Curve ID: Custom Fit Jeans

I've recently discovered Levi's new line of jeans which you can customize using their "Curve ID"

Basically, the Curve ID can be obtained by taking a very short quiz about your shape, bum, thighs and basic jean problems. After taking the quiz, Levi's is going to take your answers and give you a Curve ID which is customized to your need.

You can then shop their line of jeans using your Curve ID - which you can be assured will be addressing your exact fit needs and will address your annoying jean problems.

Obviously, you don't need to be curvy in order to take advantage of this feature, which is great because curvy ladies aren't the only ones with jean problems.

You can head on over to Levi's website if you're interested, or even just curious to know your Curve ID

My Curve ID is BOLD CURVE

What's your Curve ID?

Sole Society by Hautelook: For Shoe Lovers

 

I just received an email from Hautelook introducing me to their new "division" called Sole Society. Unlike Hautelook, this site will be focusing on shoes... shoe site for shoe lovers.

When you first sign up, you will be answering a few questions to determine what type of style you have. Then they will customize the designer shoes they feature for you, so it's in line with your own personal style. 

Oh, most importantly, nothing over $49.95 plus free shipping! 

It's a month to month thing, so they choose a bunch of styles for you for that entire month, if you like nothing, then you can skip that month, basically you are not required to buy - which is awesome in my books. 

So, apparently, based on my answers on the style quiz, my style is "Feminine, Bohemian, Trendy"... hmm... bohemian?

If you want to check it out, here's MY invite link, if you don't mind: http://www.solesociety.com/

If you do, then just head over to www.solesociety.com I'm excited to see my customized picks. =)

Circle Lens Mini Haul: EOS Max Pure and MI M301

A few month back I got a couple of circle lenses to try it out. I've seen tons of people using these and they look pretty awesome. I thought they instantly made your face more interesting. Having a colored eyes instead of the boring brown is always fun too. So yeah, decided to join the bandwagon (if there is a bandwagon).

A brief rundown on Circle Lens Info:

Circle Lenses are basically contact lens that are bigger in diameter, and the intention is to make your iris look bigger to make you look like an anime character, or a doll.

They are mostly either made from Japan or Korea, and I think they are technically cannot be legally sold in the US because of FDA issues or something.

Circle lenses are said to be thicker in make, which means your eyes may tend to have less oxygen going into them, as oppose of the daily contact lenses sold in the US. That said, they are also said to be less comfortable.

You can order them with prescription as any contact lens.



Lastly, they are said to last between 6 months to a year of opening... tons of people suggests only using them for 6 months to be safe.

You can google it for more info. =)







I went online and searched for the best priced circle lens. I also wanted to make sure that I'm getting an authentic one. Finally found a seller with great reviews and great price: Kiwiberry. You can check her out here:

http://www.kiwiberry1-collection.com/

As far as her service, she is really a very nice lady. Answered tons of my questions. Also, she packages the lenses well, and gives you a lens case for every pair you purchase - which I found to be really helpful. Shipping was quite quick (I think she's based from Canada), and most importantly, her prices are the best.

So anyway, I got the package, and like I said, it was bubble wrapped and placed inside an envelope with bubble wrap too - so double the protection.

 

 

I got two circle lenses, each one priced at $20.00.

First one is the EOS G201 Max Pure in Pink.

 

A close look on the lenses themselves. Aren't they real pretty!

 

The next one is MI M301 3-Tone Grey

 

And a closer look on the lenses themselves. I love the 3-Tone!

 

Overall, Kiwiberry's service was really great, the lenses looked amazing, and all that's left is to try em.

Let me know what you guys think of them, and if you;ve tried any circle lenses before.

Hautelook Score! Rock & Republic Cosmetics

I had no idea how competitive it is purchasing from Hautelook! I was waiting for the Rock & Republic Cosmetics event to begin at 11am EST this morning because I am really interested to try out their blush - I've heard many great things. Also, I have been attempting to purchase the blush on Hautelook for a total of 3 months now! I've always either come in late or I wasn't aware until later in the day. Ridiculous!


Finally today... I was waiting at 10:55am... I refreshed... nothing yet... 10:59am.... 11:00am! I quickly refreshed, entered the event, and lo and behold all the blushes were already on hold... meaning someone has already placed it on their cart! HOW?! I went in no later than maybe 5 seconds after 11:00am and already someone's put it on their cart... how is that possible?!

Fortunately, I was very patient and persistent. Once you placed something in your cart, you can only keep it there for 15 minutes, after 15 minuted if you haven't checked out, they will put the item back in the list... I was very determined to get the blush this time... 3 months is a very long time to wait.. I could lose 10lbs in 3 month but cannot get this damn blush (it's just way cheaper on Hautelook so yeah... )

I opened all the blushes in separate tabs... kept refreshing... every so often one would come back but before I could hit "Add to Cart", someone already had... but I kept going and kept refreshing and persistence prevails! I got one!

I'm sorry, I really feel like I've won something and am so so happy! Only bad thing I see here is that it's not to be delivered until March 11... such long time!

This is a run down on what I got... I'm so excited!

Contrived Pressed Blush in Immoral $12.00

Exhibition Pressed Powder in Satin $13.20

Eyeshadow in Snakeskin $8.40

Lipgloss in Muse $7.20

I think there are tons more great eyeshadows on Hautelook and most important here is that the price is just too great to pass up. I purchased an eyeshadow from Hautelook before for $10.50 I think, and now it's only $8.40... its a really great deal...

You can head on over to Hautelook, if you need an invite, you can click here, otherwise I think you can just head on over there and sign up... not sure... =)

Let me know what you guys think!

Dolce Vita For Target: Spring/Summer 2011

 

I am loving the Dolce Vita for Target Spring collection. I thought they were right on with their wedges - especially those with the jute wedges.

Also, since this is a target collaboration, we all know how affordable its going to be. These styles will range from $24.99 to $29.99 - not bad at all!

The only part I found a little annoying is I think you can only purchase this through their website (Target). I tried to find a branch near me that would carry these but their website says "online only". I juts like having the option to go to a store and buy it there rather than having to pay for shipping fee and having no choice for it.

Regardless, I am personally going to get one of these in the nude color!

 

What do you think of them?

Wholesale-dress.net : Review

Happy Holidays Everyone!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's celebration.

♥♥♥

It's been a little while since I've last made a post. The post-holiday has really made me want to just kick back and hibernate.

Anyway, I've been wanting to post a review on the recent purchase I made from wholesale-dress.net (blog post here) - I stopped procrastinating and finally got around to doing it. Hurray!

So, I submitted my order from the wholesale-dress.net  site on Dec. 10, 2010, and they shipped out my order by FedEx on December 14, 2010. When I first tracked down my order, it was supposed to be delivered on December 17 (which is really quite fast), however due to an incorrect address labeled on the box (the room # wasn't included) I had to sort it our with FedEx and finally got my package on December 21st.

Alright enough of that, on to the clothing...

Turtleneck Sweater Dress

 

Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♡

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♥♥

Overall, I like this sweater dress. The material is ok, not as soft as I would've liked but its ok. This sweater came in only in one size, but I would say it fits like a US size M - so it's a little big on me since I'm a little petite, but I like it loose so it works out. Most of all, the actual sweater looks exactly like the photo on the website - that's a big plus in my book.

Round Neck Sweater

 

Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♡

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♥♥

This one I really like. It came on more mustard-y that on the photo, but I like it. Quality is almost the same as the first sweater. This also came in only in one size - so again I would say it fits like a size M - however, I like it a little loose so no complaints.

Polka Dots Sweater Dress

 

Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♥

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♥♥

This one I absolutely love. The quality of the sweater is really soft and it flows nicely around the body. My photo don't do it justice (room was really dark) but it looks exactly like the photo on the website. Oh, this one had a dolman sleeve which can't be seen on either photos. Fit wise, again, its a little on the loose side but I like it that way.

Nautical Stripe Sweater

 

Quality:   ♥♥♥♡♡

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♡♡

This sweater I'm not a huge fan of. I don't like the quality, i feel like its too thin. The material is a loose-knit fabric - which is alright but I was expecting something else because of the photo on the website. 

Also, the length of the sweater is a little bit short - and that's saying something because I'm a petite girl. I was just expecting something that'll hit somewhere by the hip... this one lands right by the waist.

Hooded Parka

 

Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♥

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♥♥

This is another piece that I loved. The quality is good - its a thick jersey material - which'll really keep me warm during the in between months. Also, the length is perfect, it hits somewhere around below the hip, kind of like what is shown on the website photo. It's just slightly big on me since this also came in one size only.

One thing though, the hood is a little small, I'm sure I don't just have a big head...

Jacket with Sherling Collar

 

Quality:   ♥♡♡♡♡

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♥♡

This is the absolute disappointment of all. This came in a micro-suede like material! I mean, seriously, the website photo looks like its made of faux leather with nice faux fur - and it came in in really poorly finished jacket with thread hanging all over, fur falling off, material made of thin faux suede (kinda like what they use fr boots),and aweful color. It's only redeeming quality is that it fits perfect on me, but that's it.

High Waisted Belter Faux Leather Shorts

 

Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♡

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♥♡

This one is nice, not as nice as I would've imagined (I was thinking more like Zara, so yeah should not expect that next time). The quality itself is just alright. The fit is a lot big on me...maybe I'm just really short, but even at waist-length, it's way long. Color-wise, it's the same as the photo and overall it looks like how it should based on the photo on the website.

Knitted Scarf

 

Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♥

       Fit:   ♥♥♥♡♡

Nothing much to say. It did not come in the same material as what is shown on the website photo, and I feel it's shorter and not as wide as on the photo. However, it's a scarf and it serves it purpose. Overall, It's acceptable for me.

Owl Earring & Retro Style Earring

 

 

Owl - Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♥

 Retro-style - Quality:   ♥♥♥♥♡

Both the earring came in really nicely. The owl came in with perfect quality, but the retro one is a little less than perfect, but that's juts nit-picking it. That said, I really didn't mind the imperfections for the amount I paid for, and I've already worn these many times and have received complements on them.

So there you go. I hope this helps someone who's debating whether to buy from wholesale-dress.net or not. 

Overall, I do recommend to purchase from this website, although since you are paying super low prices just don't expect super top quality for them. Also, the actual merchandise may or may not look exactly like the photo on their website, but it'll be close - just bear this in mind.

Wholesale-dress.net Winter Shopping Picks

It has been so very cold here in New York lately and I finally needed to wear sweaters. I realized though that I didn't have a lot of cute sweaters - most of them I've had since 3 years ago and haven't really bought new ones since.

I went to Forever 21 and H&M to pick out some stuff but didn't really find a lot of cute ones. I only picked out a stripe cardigan from Forever 21.

So I decided to try out this website called wholesale-dress.net. They are a fashion clothing store directly from China who sells clothing for "wholesale" price. In my opinion, they're not really wholesale prices (since I've worked for fashion importing companies, I know the prices) but they are way cheaper than when you get them in stores here in the US, so I was happy regardless.

I ordered yesterday (Thursday) so I want to check out to see how long it takes for them to process everything. I will post an update.

I found the shipping to be so so high! It's almost the same amount as my entire purchase. If it were lower, I would've picked out a couple more stuff. I had to take out a couple of things, only because I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet...

Anyway, here are the things I picked up. I will do a follow-up post so to show comparison between their catalog photos and the real pieces.

All in all I spend $104 and change for 11 items... not bad.. not bad at all

Turtleneck Sweater Dress

$5.95

Round Neck Sweater in Mustard

$4.18

I ♥ this color

Polkadot Sweater Dress

$4.56

Nautical Stripe Sweater

$5.52

I love the freshness of this one.

Two-Way Long Sleeve Top

$7.03

I absolutely love this! It's so unique. You can wear it on one side and the bottom side.

Hooded Parka

$4.75

Faux Leather Jacket with Sherling Collar

$9.19  (!!!)

I'm absolutely in love with this. I hope this comes out to be exactly like the photograph. And how about that price!

High Waisted Belted Leather Shorts

$7.91 (!!!)

Doesn't this look exactly like the Chloe leather shorts! I hope it really does!

Knitted Scarf

$1.44

Retro-Style Earring

$0.66 (!!!)

Owl Earring

$2.05

I'm very excited to receive my package. Hopefully they come out to be exactly like the photos.

I have a lot lot more collected in my favorites, but the shipping really just killed me buying them all. You can check them out here

Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

My Pick from the William Rast for Target

I ♥ the William Rast for Target collection... I had faith in them... =)

The collection will hit stores starting December 19 and will only be available til' January 22 - quite a short duration. But my bet would be the pieces wouldn't even last until January. I thought the pieces from the collection is very wearable that will appeal to a lot of people. Not to mention - Justin Timberlake!

The entire collection also features some men's pieces which are also pretty good. I think they stayed true to the William Rast concept - which is pretty great.

Here are my top picks!

Tank-$35 ; Jacket-$45 ; Leather Shorts-$40

Plain Tee-$20 ; Military Jacket-$60 ; Jeggings-$40

Silk Blouse-$35 ; Ponte Leggings $40

Plaid Shirt-$35 ; Sweatshirt-$30 ; Jeggings-$40

Tunic-$35 ; Ponte Vest-$40

Grey Tank-$27 ; Silk Blouse-$35 ; Skinny Jeans-$49

The model kept wearing the same studded oxfords but I'm not quite sure if this is included... it's kinda cute, hopefully its included.

If you;d like to see the entire collection, head over to Target

H&M to Launch Online Shopping on Sept 16th - Finally!!

I just saw an advertisement somewhere and got really really excited!!! Finally H&M has joined the online shopping community. I don't know what took them so long actually... I would think the retailers would take advantage of the benefits of having an online store... just the scope and range will boost their sales.

Anyhoo, I;m very excited. I love H&M... one store is outside my workplace but everything's been so hectic lately that I dont even have the time to drop by the store... I'm excited!

Zara Online Store: Coming Soon

I guess its official! Zara's finally joining the E-Commerce world! 

It appears though that service to the USA is being put on hold for now. Boohoo... 

Hopefully it won't take long for Zara to start branching out their service and reach us here in the US.

All the Rage Today: William Rast for Target

While browsing around the fashion blog world, there is one topic that is constant in most: the William Rast for Target announcement!

Personally, I think its great! I'm not a particular fan of the brand, but I do dig their wearable hip-street-chic designs. Also, they're also going to be releasing a Men's collection, which I think is a pretty awesome idea!

The collection is set to debut for the holidays on Dec. 19, 2010 thru January 22, 2011.

If the collection is anything like their 2010 F/W collection, this is something worth waking up for!
