Ann Taylor Holiday 2012

Inspired by the movie, Charade, starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, the Ann Taylor Holiday 2012 collection was absolutely colorful and chic. My favorite pieces were definitely the jewelry!

ABC Family/Jane by Design Challenge #7 - Get The Look

Hi everyone! Jane by Design premiered last night on ABC Family :) For those who missed it, it's about a high school girl, Jane, that applies for an internship at a fashion house, Donovan Decker, but gets mistaken for the assistant position. The show presents how she juggles life between both worlds in addition to tons of fabulous fashion & even cute boys. Here's an extra clip from the show!

Well anyway, here is the FINAL challenge of the ABC Family/Jane by Design Style Challenge & I am so thankful for having such great fellow bloggers that have been supporting me & commenting on the Facebook wall for me -- so BIG THANK YOU to you guys, you rock!

So, the final task is: Choose one person you have observed and write a “get the look” entry on your blog. Tell your readers to share their “get the look” tips here and mention the name of your blog. As I watched the first episode, I noticed that Jane Quimby's look is very fun, youthful, and playful -- it reminded me of what I liked when I was in high school. However, I was more drawn to India de Beaufort's character, India Jourdain. Her looks were edgier, sophisticated, and definitely things that I would personally wear. She plays an associate designer that's pining for Gray Chandler Murray's job & she's a feisty character -- someone definitely who you might love to hate. Who doesn't like a great villain?This gray asymmetrical sleeve bandage dress is originally from Herve Leger. I found two similar dresses from Flirt Catalog & Free People.
As for her Vintage Hero diamond round pave ring, I found some great deals on similar-looking ones -- from Amazon, Emitations, and Overstock!
In the episode, India was also wearing these great scallop dangling earrings from Cake and black platform pumps from Miss Sixty. Some more affordable items I found were these great Timeless Home Decors & Forever 21 earrings. As for the shoes, I found ones from Lulu's, Wet Seal, and Go Jane.

Share with me & Jane by Design what your 'get the look tips' are here & remember to mention Audrey Allure! This is the last challenge before they announce the winner! Please comment on the Jane by Design Facebook wall for me for this challenge - it would really mean a lot to me! Thanks SO, so much in advance and thank you for all the support during this entire challenge! (By the way, if I win, I can pick one of YOU to be featured as ABC Family's Trendsetter of the Week -- so there's something in it for you too ;))

ABC Family/Jane By Design Style Challenge #1

Hi there, lovelies! So you all may know that I have been chosen as one of the participants of ABC Family/Jane by Design's Style Challenge. Winner will get mentioned in the new TV show (which will premiere Jan 3 at 9PM, btw), and be promoted on the ABC Family website.

So, contestants were all sent a huge trunk full of props all numbered (still no idea what I'll be doing with each one yet). Challenges will be sent to us twice a week giving us further instructions for each prop.

The first challenge was to use the $50 gift card, go shopping, and create a shopping haul video. So voilà! Here is my video:

Of course I had to add music ;) The song is called "Boom" by Anjulie.

_______________________

I would really appreciate it if you show me a video of YOUR recent shopping haul, and share it with Jane By Design. Make sure you mention that "Audrey Allure sent me!" so it counts :) When you do, I will help promote your video & blog on my Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr accounts!

(Or you can leave a comment on their Facebook wall, saying "Audrey Allure sent me!" or mention my blog in a comment.) Pretty please? It would help so much :)

Thanks so much in advance! ♥

Unestablish Xmas Wishlist Picks

Unestablish is a multi-label online retailer that offers adorable clothing for both men & women. They offer free worldwide shipping and around the clock customer service - big plus in my book! Unestablish also adds new product daily. My top three picks which I would love to add to my Christmas wishlist are pictured in this post.

Above is the KLING Dress Edware, and below are the Lara Fin Dress and the Colette Suit Dress. They made my list because lately I've been looking for fun pieces to wear at work, and I think these three fit the bill, not to mention they're all super cute! :)

____________________________________

By the way, just to let all of you know, I have been accepted as one of the ABC Family/Jane by Design Style Challenge participants! Challenges will be sent to me twice a week, and the first one is to spend the $50 gift card & record a shopping haul video, so stayed tuned for one of my first appearances in a video on my blog :)

Lucky Shops NY 2011 VIP Night

me with actress Kaylee DeFer (you might recognize her from Gossip Girl)

As you know, Lucky Magazine had their annual Lucky Shops event this past weekend (today is the last day, btw!) Dozens of designer collections were up for grabs up to 70% off. I had the most incredible experience being one of the VIP blogger correspondents of the night!

We all met at the Bloom Beauty Lounge to get blowouts & styling for our hair while we mingled & snacked :) I went for some curls - y'know to add some volume from my thin Asian hair lol. Thanks to Jackie's magic, she created a luscious look for me and I absolutely loved how my hair turned out. We also took a bunch of group shots -- when I get my hands on those, I'll repost them on my Twitter or Facebook pages!
I had the wonderful opportunity & luck to be paired up with Rachel Roy (the other bloggers each had a different designer to wear that night). I chose the mulberry sequined Liza dress, paired it with the Kimi black multi heel, and completed my outfit with the multi-wing doorknocker earrings & the cluster statement frontal necklace. I just added my gloves from H&M & oversized clutch from Barney's.

It just so happened that as we walked in through those Lucky Shops doors, Rachel Roy was on the red carpet! I was instantly escorted to take a photo with her :)
After some walking around the venue, with my date Andres, it was time for me to walk the carpet. I have no idea where those pics are going to be posted yet, but here are some that my boyfriend took with my camera.
I didn't do much shopping. Unfortunately, time goes by so fast when you're too busy mingling lol. But I did walk around & of course, I stopped at Geren Ford! The pieces are always functional, accessibly-priced, and modern. The collection was full of cute, versatile, feminine pieces. I mean, how adorable is that blue dress below?
Anyway, here are just some pictures from the night with some amazing people :)

I had such a lovely time & I was certainly in great company. The other VIP bloggers included (not in any particular order): Molly of New York Girl Style, Eileen of Miss Whoever You Are, Lara of Pretty Connected, Christine of My Style Pill, Lisi of The Beauty File, Alicia of Cheetah is the New Black, Nubia of Nubia's Nonsense, Erica & Lauren of Honestly WTF, Lilliana of Cheap Chicas, Melanie of Platinum Blonde Life, Marissa of Style Cusp, and Makeda of Glamazon Diaries.

Stay tuned for another post about the Lucky Shops after party :) More pics will be posted on my Facebook pages (personal & blog page)!
