Summer Clothing Picks: ASOS

Welcome back to my Summer Clothing Picks series. Today I want to share with you guys my top picks from ASOS. ASOS is an online British clothing company that has become quite popular here in the states over the last 2 years or so. The clothing styles are very comparable to things you would find at TopShop, Urban Outfitters and Forever21. Their stuff is a bit on the expensive side but the quality of their pieces is no joke. Plus they offer unique pieces you can't find anywhere else.

1.) Adolescent Clothing Boyfriend T-Shirt With Weekday WTF Print $33

ASOS has a great selection of graphic print tees that have fun and snarky sayings. They are also really comfortable to wear and easy to wash.

2.) Rare London Plunge Mini Dress With Asymmetric Neckline $77

ASOS has probably one of the best selections of dresses compared to all other online clothing stores. I am in love with this mini dress. The cut is unique and offers the perfect combination of edgy and sexy. A great dress for a girls night or for that special someone in your life. 

3.) Warehouse Vintage Printed Kimono $87

Kimonos have been all the rage these last few years. This particular one can be dressed up or down. It can also be used as a bathing suit cover up. This is a bit on the pricey side but it is so versatile you can wear it with practically anything.

4.) ASOS Cropped V Neck Kimono Blouse $40

A twist on your classic tee. This flowy top flatters many types of figures and is very easy to wear. You can pair with jeans, shorts, skirts and so on. The possibilities are endless.

5.) Glamorous Embellished Festival Short $91

As much as I love my denim shorts during the hot summer months I can't stand to wear them. I have been into the cloth shorts that have been in every store. They are easy and comfortable to wear and come in so many different prints. I love this particular one not only for the print but also the structure. It is high waisted and a bit on the longer side but still short enough to show off your legs.

Penny Chic Book Review- BLOGTOBER OCTOBER 14, 2O14

Hi my name is Sisi and I am a shopaholic. However thanks to Penny Chic by Shauna Miller I don't need shopaholics anonymous anymore (well maybe...). 

In Penny Chic, Shauna Miller gives us her tips and tricks on remaining fashionable without having to declare bankruptcy. There are so many different styles and trends out there today that it can become impossible and daunting to keep up with. Shauna in her book teaches us ways to shop but to shop smarter and still stay on trend. From DIYs to favorite and affordable places to shop Miller covers it all and not to mention if you haven't found your own personal style yet have no fear in the beginning of the book Shauna helps you decide what style fits you the best. 

There are a ton of books like these out there on the market today but Shauna's book appeals to the everyday girl and is put together beautifully that it isn't so overwhelming. 

The only issue I had with the book is that it was wayyyy too short!!! Shauna I wanna read more!!!! Please write another book soon!!! I am on withdraw.

Penny Chic is available at the following retailers

Amazon

Barnes & Nobles
