In the Mood for Summer Green

I've always wanted a bustier: a perfect combination of a cropped top and a modern corset. A bustier has the best of both worlds: its easy to match with either a maxi skirt or jean shorts; it sculptures your torso well without the discomfort of a real corset. plus this top has summery flowery patterns, how can i not take it home?

One trick to wear a low cut bustier is that instead of wearing a real bra inside, try a soft colorful bralette instead. Most bras don't work well with the shape of the top, and probably not that comfortable if your bustier already have a defined chest line. American Apparel has a lot of options and it is fun to add your own colors without looking like you just carelessly wearing a top that is too small.

In the Mood for a Glass Garden

For those of you who are in Seattle or gonna visit Seattle soon, definitely go check out the Chihuly glass exhibit in Seattle center, next to the Space Needle. Jen and I went during memorial day weekend. The colorful glass art work looks breathtaking under the sun. (trivia: Seattle is the second best place in the world after Murano in Italy.)

My outfit has a simple outline but I like the boldness of the bright colors. The layered tank dress is very flowy when I walk. The orange looks bright yet soft when the sunlight goes through the layers. I'm a fan of short heels for everyday wear. These pumps are about 1.5 inches, easy to walk in and the delicate design in the front adds extra points!
