Target Affordable Finds: Wild Fable Short Sleeve V-Neck Cropped T-Shirt

Target Short Sleeve V-Neck Cropped T-Shirt

I have never ever encountered a 5-dollar shirt at Target until I came upon the Wild Fable Short Sleeve V-Neck Cropped T-shirt.  It was not even on clearance, but regularly-priced at $5.  I got the colors black and white, just very basic tops for casual errand days, or for layering under a cardigan since it is getting a wee bit cooler.  This is the most inexpensive clothing piece I've ever bought at Target, and I of course washed it before wearing; no shrinking whatsoever even after putting it in the dryer.  I love that it doesn't pill, and there is no unraveling at the seams either after washing.  

The only con to this item is that it runs quite small.  I am usually an extra-small when I shop at Target, but I am wearing a medium in the photo.  Also, it is very cropped.  I would advise wearing a high-waisted bottom if you don't want your midriff to show.  There is a non-cropped version of this for $8.  Again, for a Target shirt, that is quite a bargain.

Summer and Fall Staple: Amazon Sleeveless Layering Top Review

Affiliate Link

We just hit a milestone this summer. Phoenix set the record for the hottest month ever recorded, according to the National Weather Service. August 2020 was the hottest month on record in Phoenix since tracking began in 1896. We've experienced at least 52 (and counting) days of temperatures 110 degrees or higher. Wow.  I can't believe I've been running with my dog every night in 106 degree heat. I think what makes it a wee bit bearable is that (okay, everybody now) it's a dry heat. That is why these tops from Amazon have become my staple every day (and when I say every day, I mean every single day) top this summer. The Lark and Ro Sleeveless Layering Tank is really comfy and cool during these sweltering hot days. They are also professional enough for meetings at the office, and they make great shells for blazers and jackets. I have about 10 of these in different colors. They also run a bit big, so if you want a more snug fit, I suggest that you size down. The Lark and Ro Sleeveless Layering Tank retails for $19 and comes in either crew or V-neck.

Amazon Lark & Ro Cap Sleeve V-Neck Wrap Dress Review

Affiliate Link

I've always been a huge fan of wrap dresses.  They're comfortable and can be worn almost anywhere - to work, dinner, or even a semi-formal occasion.  It can also hide problem areas in the hips, thighs and tummy if you have those.  I've read really good reviews about the Amazon brand Lark & Ro's v-neck wrap dress, so I snagged two prints to try these out.  I tried the navy and white pinstripe and the black one with mini tulip design.  I got the XS size and they fit pretty well.  I like that these hit below the knee, at least on me, as they really look more professional with the below-the-knee length.  This dress has cap-sleeves with a v-neck and overlapping bodice that lightly skims the body, and a tulip hem that is figure-flattering on most body types.  The material is also very lightweight and doesn't easily crease.  All in all, I really can't say negative things about this dress, except that it may be a bit pricey for some, as the price ranges from $33 to $39, depending on the color and the print.  I would say that it is worth it, though, especially if you are looking for a no-fuss dress for work, dinner or a special event.

The best part is that this is part of Amazon Wardrobe, where you can get to try these before you buy (free for 7 days).

Vince Camuto Bevveyn Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals Review

Vince Camuto Bevveyn Ankle Strap Block Heels

Vince Camuto Bevveyn Ankle Strap Block Heels

I noticed that DSW has slashed many of its shoes' prices, so I snagged this pair online using a gift card I got from my loved ones last Mother's Day.  I got the Vince Camuto Bevveyn Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals for $34.99.  This is probably my fifth pair of block heels, and I have them in various heel heights and colors.  I like block heels because they're very comfortable to wear even when the heel is high.  These are 3-inch heels and still very comfortable.  I got the taupe suede, but these are obviously NOT taupe but more of a butternut color.  I didn't contemplate sending these back because I do love the look and they fit perfectly.

I also like that these are Vince Camuto heels and yet they're quite affordable given the name brand.  These are quite versatile shoes and you can wear them anywhere - you can wear these to work with pants or dresses and skirts, to dress up a pair of jeans and a white tee, or wear with shorts like I did above if you want to spice up the outfit for a special dinner or date.  I wore these with my two-year-old Universal Thread High-Rise Denim Shorts and an old sheer sleeveless top (with a cami underneath).  These shorts are old but very comfortable!  I will forever purchase Target shorts as long as they stay true with the quality of their denim.

On Sale Today - Target's Universal Thread™ Light Wash High-Rise Fray Hem Jean Shorts

One of my favorite denim shorts is on sale today - and the sale ends today (Edit: As of 5/3, 20% off sale of Target shorts is currently going on online).  I love Target's Universal Thread™ Light Wash High-Rise Fray Hem Jean Shorts.  All the attributes of my favorite shorts are in this particular pair.  First of all, they are high-rise.  I don't buy jeans or shorts that are not high-rise anymore.  I decluttered all my low and mid-rise pairs quite a while ago.  High-rise silhouettes flatter my body type better, and give a more seamless look to tops over jeans or jean shorts.  Second, they are light-wash.  I used to hate light-wash denim and only preferred dark wash because it looks more formal.  However, if I want to look more carefree, and during those breezy and I-really-can't-be-bothered days, I choose light-wash.  Light wash denim also looks amazing with white tops (which is actually one of my goals - to build a white wardrobe).  Thirdly, the fray hem all the more lends to the easy-going look of this pair.  The big factor that makes it a little more pulled-together is the button-fly closure.  I LOVE button fly denim.  It may be a bit fussier than zipper closures but I like the classier, more unusual look.  I particularly love the fact that this has gold buttons instead of silver.

This pair is very comfortable.  I am a size 2 and it fits true-to-size.  I also love that I can throw this in the washer and dryer and it won't shrink.  Denim fabric is also soft and has a nice feel.

This pair of Universal Thread light wash high rise shorts is currently on sale for $12.59 (reg. $17.99).  As stated above, as of 5/3, 20% off sale of Target shorts is happening online.

Just Fashion Now Dress Try-On and Video Review

Hi everyone!  I don't really post a lot of fashion videos or written reviews on this blog since I'm obviously more into beauty and makeup, but just this year, around spring, I started to post my outfits of the day on my Instagram account.  A clothing website called JustFashionNow.com reached out to me and asked me if I can try on some of their clothes.  I said yes, so I was able to try this red floral mini skater dress from their website that piqued my interest.

Check out my review and thoughts about this item. Below is my video on my Just Fashion Now Try-On and Review. Please check out and subscribe to my YouTube channel if you'd like to see more of these kinds of videos.

Hi everybody!  I don't normally feature accessories and jewelry on my blog, but I have always wanted to add little bits and pieces of lifestyle and fashion posts on this site.  I was approached by Montana Silversmiths and was asked to choose and review three pieces from their vast collection of silver jewelry, and I could not be more happy to do so.  You see, I've always been a silver jewelry enthusiast, and to be able to review pieces from a well-respected and established company was a pleasure.

My Huge Cocktail Ring and Bracelet Haul

I'm still here in the Philippines and I am still having a blast! I have been shopping left and right, but I am not actually shopping for makeup or even skincare or clothes - it's all about accessories for me! This place is a haven for baubles, bangles and beads lovers. I asked my mom if she could take me to the place where she buys her beads because she makes her own jewelry. She told me that my jaw would drop to the floor when she takes me to the bead store here, and she told me not to buy on impulse. Too late. I did have to pick my jaw from the floor when I set foot inside the store. It was a huuuuge store with so many amazing beads, bangles, necklaces and cocktail rings! It was like being a kid in a candy store. I made a beeline for the cocktail rings which are a variety of huge baubles and animal shapes. I got a little basket and filled it up in no time.

I bought a TON of bangles, bracelets, and cocktail rings, but here are just some of them. I can't wait to wear these:
