Swatches: Butter London in Cream Tea

I bought this Butter London in Cream Tea Nail Lacquer during one of the Gilt sales. Price came out to be $5 instead of the usual $15. I'm sure it's discontinued but I'm very glad I picked this up! I couldn't resist taking multiple pictures of my nails. So I apologize beforehand if there's one too many of similar photos.

Butter London's Cream Tea easily became my go-to summer nail color.

OOTD: Bold Stripes With White Flares

Since there's another crazy sale at Banana Republic ($50 off $100 in stores and online, use code BRTAKE50), I thought I'll share my latest find that I'm absolutely in love with. 

Triple action! Featured Item Banana Republic's Multi-Striped Tank Size 0, VS Cardigan (old), The Limited Flare Trousers (old), Steve Madden Pumps (old)

I picked up this Banana Republic Multi Striped Tank in store 2 weeks ago. And I must say it definitely isn't something I usually pick out for work. But despite being out of my comfort zone, I just loved how the bold stripes look and decided to pair it with white flare trousers to bring out the top. The bold stripes are actually in a very deep navy blue color. 

Very lightweight material that feels cool on the skin - perfect for summer time! Loved that it is fully lined so I don't have to worry about undergarments peeking out. It has a lower neckline that borders around the edge of revealing too much but it's not too bad. I love the skinny round straps but because of the keyhole design towards the back, it might be a little snug to pullover.

The top definitely has a boxy fit that might not flatter those who are on the petite/smaller side. I am wearing a size 0 and I probably won't wear it by itself. But when paired with a snug lightweight cardigan, you can still see my waistline.

Otherwise, I just love how the top works out into the perfect summer white work outfit. 

As usual, BR online prices severely differ from their store prices. I picked up this top for $17.99, but I see that the price online is $59.99. I'm glad I got a great deal, but you might want to double check your local BR before splurging online. Also take into consideration $50 off $100 in stores and online, when you use code BRTAKE50, ends July 26.

And of course let me know what your favorite summer picks are.

Reveal: Glossybox X Bergdorf Goodman May 2014 Subscription Box

I just returned from an Alaskan cruise on Monday and finally got a chance to go through my Glossybox! This one was their May subscription box and retails for $21 as usual but the best of all, it was a collaboration with THE Bergdorf Goodman! The name itself already promises luxury.  In addition, this month's box will include 6 samples instead of the usual 5.

Ready to check them out?

There were a total of 15 different samples that are part of these Bergdorf Goodman boxes. Here's the 6 that I received:

Reveal: Le Metier De Beaute Mar, Apr, May 2014 Beauty Vault VIP Boxes

I was going to wait for my June box to arrive before posting this, but I figure I should do it quick and give more people a chance to check out the Le Metier De Beaute Beauty Vault VIP program since the 2014 subscription just opened up! Don't miss the chance to get all these wonderful products for $29/month. The value of each box almost triples that $29 cost (on average).

Let's get to it! 

LMdB March 2014 Beauty Vault VIP Box - Peau Vierge Correcteur Concealer and Ultra Hydration Eye Mask Duo

The March box was the sole reason I was even interested in the LMdB brand!! The brand offers one of the most expensive under eye concealer on the market - the Peau Vierge Correcteur Concealer at $95! And guess what? To my utmost surprise, this little baby was in the box! It's also the first time the subscription box included a complexion product (everything else so far were color or skincare). I'm also very happy that they had included one that is in my shade (in Medium).  I've read that they actually try to send out a lighter shade for those with fair skin tones.  They also included one pair of their Ultra Hydration Eye Mask Duo (retails at $150 for 8 pairs). Total value of the box is an unbelievable $113.75!
