I’ve always had an affinity for Peasant tops. If gives you that bohemian look without looking too much like you’re trying too hard to be a hippie.

That gladiator pumps is to die for. I don’t think I’ll be over the gladiator trend this year. Especially if it looks like the one in the picture. It adds such an oomph into any outfit. Except the gladiator boots of course. Now that’s a no-no .

Under $100 Look : 2-Toned Skirt, Top & Booties With Silver Accents
I like two-toned styles, do you? Most especially the black and white tones. It’s chic and elegant. May it be a dress or a skirt outfit. I saw this two-tones floral skirt from Forever21 so I figured I’d create an Under $100 Look with it. This is exactly how I would wear this silk two-toned floral print skirt.

I fell in love with the metallic stripes sweater that I just had to create an Under $100 Look around it. I wouldn’t necessarily wear skinny jeans with it, because most probably I’d go for a straight leg pair of jeans. But it looks so chic with the skinny jeans tucked inside the knee-high boots in my head so that’s what I came up with.
Metallic Stripes Top, $22.80
Old Navy Skinny Jeans, $34.50
Black Faux Suede Round Toe Buckle Boots, $27.99
Double Strand Cross Necklace, $7.80
Seven bracelet set, $3.80
Almond Chain Earrings, $3.80
OK, I went overboard. This whole thing actually costs $100.69. …read more

I fell in love with this blue ruffled romantic blouse as soon as my eyes laid on it. Some may think it’s too much but if you’re smart enough to pair it with minimal things, you’d look every bit as chic and sophisticated like those Women on TV or movies . The difference is, you didn’t spend too much to look good. Anyway, this is how I see myself wearing this romantic blouse.
Crinkle Ruffle Top, $19.80
Wide-Leg Trouser Pants, $22.80
Black Camisole, $2.50
Blue Pumps, $15.99
A black clutch would go nicely with this ensemble by the way.
