GAP Coupon Code!

YAY! It's FALL, y'all Do some fall/winter shopping with this GAP coupon code for 30% off. It's "savebig." It also works for Banana Republic and Old Navy.

I just bought these two shoulder zip pullover sweatshirts, since I realize I own almost no tops that aren't t-shirts, and most of those I hate or have a cat on them, which is fine for sometimes but not all the time. So I'm trying to diversify with some basic tops.

($39.50, Gap)

Usually I wait for everything and anything Gap to go on sale, but I saved $23 with that coupon code. HOLLA for a DOLLA!

($29.50, Gap)

Also, this nylon puffer bag is extremely cute. But I will definitely wait for this to go on sale.

Summer 2010 Trends: Day and Night Fashion Style

Every time I saw a lovely dress displayed in a boutique or shop, I always think twice in buying it. I think it's not practical to buy a dress that I can only wear on once-in-a-blue-moon occasions. Oftentimes, I ended up with denims because they are wearable any time.

However, I was happy to discover the styling guide that I have found on the internet. It featured the 7 versatile trends for the Summer season. Be sure to check the rest of this entry!
