Hi, loves! If you are still in the market for a pair of lace up sandals or even a few pairs of different styles, I picked for you some new arrivals and some really popular ones that are just back in stock with great prices ranging from $45 to $320.

Let's start with this $45 Topshop lace up pair of gladiator sandals. It comes in two colors black and tan. They look similar to this pair of Schutzand the Schutz are selling for $200. The lace up part is higher on the Schutz one, but I personally think the black Topshop pair looks extremely similar to Schutz. They are also available here.

The new arrivals at ASOS are just awesome. This style comes in three different colors here, here and here and is only $76. Another style is slightly different because of the tassels on the side and this pair is selling for $81.

The Schutz Erlina Sandals have a few different colors as well and they are $200 for a pair. The same style but the high heeled version Erlene Lace Up Sandals sold out last year and just came back in stock. The pair comes in natural and black colors.

The last pair is the Joie lace up sandals, which come in three colors. I already have the nude color, but if I were to get another pair I’d go with the blue one. They are just so pretty.

Which one is your favorite? :)

The summer sales couldn't get any better. Moda Operandi is having a huge sale starting today that lasts until Jun 18th. Items are 60% off! This is just amazing. The best part is I have an additional discount code to share with you girls. If you use code EXTRA10RS, you can get an additional 10% off.That is 70% off. A lot of items are sold out already, but the Tibi mules, Aquazzura and Sergio Rossi still have different size available. The Tibi mules is less than $200 after sale. You are very welcome and happy thirsty Thursday! XO

I finally realize why these one teaspoon shorts are so popular the moment you put them on. The rolled cuffs, shredded holes and the length are just so flattering. I'm so obsessed with them. These shorts just don't disappoint. Besides the beauty bandits shorts I'm wearing, the hustler bandit shorts are a great choice too. Fringes and tassels are definitely having a moment right now and they are the perfect match. BTW, the clutch is only $45 and the sandals are only $65. On really hot summer days, shorts, a crop top and flat sandals are the most chic and comfy outfit to combat the heat. This is my hot summer go to off duty look. What's yours? :)

I couldn't have been happier when I first spotted this glitter-encrusted mini v clutch. These crystals on top of the clutch are just insanely beautiful. Clutch or cross body, either way I had to have it, haha. Something about shiny and bling bags, like a good statement necklace always catch my eye. It definitely adds some glam to your outfit especially for a night out. This clutch comes in 4 different colors. I picked purple because I don't have many purple bags and like I always mention to you girls how it’s good idea to have a pop of color bag this summer. The baby blue high low dressis on sale for only $22! It's available in all sizes. Wearing it with a belt gives the dress a better shape. And these tassel lace up sandals I got for $81 and they are available in this color. The statement necklace is currently on sale for only $20. I can't wait for the weekend already. Happy hump day, babes!

 Happy Friday, babes! It’s a great day for an off shoulder gingham top and light weight pants. These pantsare just perfect for summer. The material and the relaxed fit are flattering and super comfy, yet still keep the outfit chic. I love that these pants are good for both work and play. And how cute are these gingham tops! Besides pants, wearing them with shorts or skirts are all great ideas.

Anthropologie is having a summer sale up to 50% off right now. My favorites are the jeweled sandals and this dress.

 Wanna get dressed in 30 seconds without thinking about what to wear? Then the romper is one of the easiest options for a hot summer day. White and off white colors are my favorite, especially the oneswith lace details -ultra-feminine and pretty and only $84. It's even better with another summer essential, a straw hat. I picked a few of my favorite white rompers for you girls.

I'm preparing and packing for my European vacation starting Thursday. I'm totally ready for a new hair look and I am working on it. I can't wait to show you gals soon. Happy Monday, babes! XO

I couldn't be more excited that my vacation starts tomorrow. Mr. SF and I are heading to Spain and France. Yay! We plan to visit Barcelona, Madrid and of course Paris. Are you guys thinking about traveling somewhere this summer too? If you have no idea about where to go, I suggest you check out Priceline, Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia. They all have lots of great deals on summer vacation packages.

Back to today's outfit, when the weather gets too hot in NYC, I love wearing a tank and shorts to fight the heat, especially a cobalt blue tank with a side split and my favorite distressed shorts. The tank is just effortless chic. You girls know how much I love cobalt. It's a versatile tank because you can also tuck it in and wear it with a skirt. Plus nothing can beat a deal since this tank is only $50.

I also have to share with you girls that Shopbop's Sale just went on sale.Use code 25MORE to get the extra 25% off on all sale items. Don't forget that the sale ends tomorrow. I went through the sale for you girls and strongly recommend the following incredible deals:

Hair is a big part of style just like your wardrobe. I've honestly been bored with my hair. Either curly or straight hair, it's the same long hair. I've been wanting a new do forever. Something new, something different. It's always fun to have a new look. Today I'd like to share how I changed my hair for those of you who are considering a change for summer as well :)

After consulting and working with Elisha Jimenez from Ted Gibson New York, we decided to do two color sessions. The first session to bring my color to blonde and the second session to add some low lights to give it a contrast. My hair naturally is really dark and it definitely wasn't easy to make my hair light colored. This is the lightest shade I've ever had in my life. The first session took us four hours to do one thread color, whole head highlights and then a gloss process. A few days later, I met with Elisha again and she added low lights that are a few shades lighter than my blonde hair. This is the final look for you guys to see. I love the contrasting threads in my hair, they reflect different shades in different lighting situations. To maintain the same color, you need to touch up the roots every two months. I expressed my concern to Elisha, because I probably won't have that much time to color my hair every two months, which is one of the reasons that I haven't colored my hair for such a long time. The solution she provided was to brush on the roots and give them a darker color. So when my new hair grows out, it has a transition section and won't feel too obvious with a border line. Elisha is such a sweet heart. She is professional, talented and patient. If you guys are looking for a color change, I would enthusiastically recommend her. The first and the last photos are how I look now! The photos in between are the step by step transitions. Can you believe how light my hair was in the third picture? After my second hair session, I had a hair cut with Chris Carney from Ted Gibson. He recommended this volume look at the bottom of my hair with very few layers. My hair is one to two inches shorter and healthier now. Both visits to Ted Gibson were very enjoyable processes. Every time I was greeted by different staff members, offered and given different types of beverages and also was given a complimentary hand massage each visit.

If you guys are looking for a change to your hair this summer, I definitely recommend a visit to Ted Gibson if you are in New York City or planning to visit. You won't be disappointed. What do you think of my new hair? :) XO

These photos were taken right after my first hair session in New York. The colors are now so much lighter than how I looked last week. I just can't get enough of tassels this summer and am obsessed with the tassels on the tank. It's only $48 and is fully stocked in all sizes. Pink, olive and some blue is a great bright color combination for summer. What's your favorite summer color combination? XO

Happy Monday, loves! Hope you girls had a great 4th of July weekend. I'm so excited to be back in New York and am trying to catch up on my Zzzz. While traveling in the summer, the best clothes and shoes are not only cute, but also super comfy for walking around. I wore this garden lace dress while I visited Casa Mila and Casa Batllo in Barcelona. I adore the lace crochet details on the sleeves and the hemline so much and the dress is currently on sale for $51. Besides traveling, brunch, a museum visit, a picnic and shopping there are so many occasions you can wear this dress. It'll look great with heels too :) Couldn't complete this outfit without my favorite straw hat. I seriously feel I can wear it with every outfit. I walked so much in these lace up sandals during my trip and they are still one of the best purchases I've made this summer :P

From Casa Mila and Casa Batllo to the Sagrada Familia, Guadi's amazing works were indeed the biggest attractions and reasons for my visit to Barcelona. I picked up this ribbon lace blouse right before my trip just because of the back full of the ribbons that are way too irresistible and cute. Now you girls can get this blouse on sale for $55 and it's available in all sizes. White jeans, shorts and skirts would all be great items to pair with the lace blouse. I also noticed that Shopbop has a lot of new items that were added to their sale with an additional discount on some items. Definitely recommend you girls to take a look, for example the 3.1phillip Lim mini Pashli is 40% off now and this cute tunic is on sale for $76. Have an amazing Tuesday, babes! :) XO

This is the outfit I wore to Park Guell, another one of Guadi's masterpieces. In Barcelona, from what I saw most people dressed very casual with girls in shorts and tank tops. The temperature over there was well into the 90s. And so my shorts and cami were definitely a great combo to combat the heat, while still maintaining a great style and making me feel a little bit more like a local. I picked the red cami to match the red accent on the shorts. A white top would be a great option too, but red definitely pops more :P These shorts are super comfy and breezy for a hot summer day. They are so cute and only $59. I definitely recommend them. Happy Hump day, loves! XO

 Rue Saint-Honore is one of my favorite streets in Paris. While I was planning my outfits for Paris, romantic was the key word that came to my mind. I wanted them to be pretty, feminine and romantic. I enjoyed the silhouette and print of this skirt so much. The quality feels really good and it's on sale for only $47. Definitely recommend this pretty skirt to you girls. Despite the heat wave bringing the temperature to over 100F in Paris, I wore this outfit to go shopping, to relax at afternoon tea and still enjoyed the city together with Mr. SF.

All different types of tasty tapas, good wine and great company made Madrid an awesome destination for Mr. SF and me. I had to repeat pairs of shoes and bags in order to travel lighter for this trip. And I just changed into this beautiful floral midi skirt and added the statement necklace from a day look of mine and used it at night during my trip. I'm also really obsessed with the sandals on the model, they reminded me a lot of one pair of Prada shoes released a few years ago. They are super pretty and currently on sale too.
