Fall crochet details

November 7, 2016 Melissa Chee

A beautiful sweatshirt that combines comfort, crochet details with flattering lines? This top is an absolute win all around. The red hue gets you in the fall groove and I can't get enough of the lace-like crochet details.

Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.

I hope you are enjoying the fall season and all the beautiful colored leaves.

Quite foxy

January 18, 2016 Melissa Chee

A dress with adorable tiny foxes? Who can resist. This cute dress is super flattering and even comes with a little brown belt for less than $20. Super cute items go super fast at Forever 21, so click the link below if you're interested because the dress is still available online. I love the 3/4 length sleeves--always my favorite--and the skirt has plenty of flare. It also has a lovely open back and little bow! I'm wearing Ardell's #886 lashes and Sephora's Walk of Fame lipstick. You can also check out my post from yesterday for a video on how to do this makeup look.

Happy Monday lovelies! Do you have any favorite outfits featuring cute animals?

Cranberry, lace & fall weddings

October 21, 2015 Melissa Chee

Cranberry dresses, fall leaves and a Kansas breeze. I traveled to Lawrence, Kansas this past weekend to attend the wedding of my wonderful Cottey College suitemate Kamay. Didn't she look beautiful? She was a gorgeous bride and couldn't keep that smile off her face. I wore this pretty and flattering rich red find from Forever 21. The dress was less than $25 and features a great cut and perfect cute sleeves. The bodice has see through lace panels so I wore a black cami underneath. Side note: believe the label when it says not to put the dress in the dryer. I was in a hurry packing and threw the dress in the dryer for a few minutes and unfortunately, it did make the fabric ripple. I just didn't have the time to let it hang dry, whoops. The dress is still totally wearable, but it doesn't look as nice. I bought the dress within the last couple of months, but I can't find it online. It might still be available at your local Forever 21. Also, I tried the high waisted black tights from ASSETS by Sara Blakely, which you can purchase at Target for $18. They are definitely not as nice as the actual Spanx version, but they are still high quality and do the job at a more affordable price. The Spanx version come up higher on the waist and the material seemed of a slightly higher quality. Everything else in the look is from past seasons. Happy fall lovelies! Stay awesome and follow me on instagram @melissamchee for makeup closeups and details.

A little black & white prep for fall

September 11, 2015 Melissa Chee

I love this dress! It's comfy, cute and quite the deal at less than $23. It's still available online from Forever 21+ or you could also check out your local store. The dress is just like wearing a soft lightweight sweater--longer than you favorite sweater but plenty short if you're on the taller end like me. You could definitely add some colored tights as the weather gets cooler.

Springtime tulips

April 13, 2015 Melissa Chee

It's officially springtime when the tulips are blooming! This particular location boasts 40 acres of tulips. It is a beautiful spot in Woodburn, Oregon. You can get your Tulip Fest on until May 3. Get more info about the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm here.

My outfit was inspired by a recent trip to Disneyland. It was fun to pull together a spring look featuring the gorgeous Disney Couture Snow White top and little Minnie Mouse purse. Also, I'm obsessed with this pair of Slim Boot jeans from Torrid -- they are so comfy and flattering.
