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.

Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.

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

Fall is Barbie sweater weather

October 26, 2015 Melissa Chee

This adorable Barbie sweater from Torrid is a great addition for a fall wardrobe. It's too cute with its peter pan collar and Barbie's sequin ponytail holder. There are also super cute black buttons up the back of the sweater. The sweater is pretty lightweight and very comfortable. It's a very pale cream color with black details. It also runs a little large and ideally, I would have sized down. But overall, if you are a Barbie lover--this is a good plus size sweater to check out. It's only available online at Torrid. The black pleated skirt is also from Torrid and super amazing--very flattering and comfy and black goes with almost everything. The lipstick is from Clinique in the color Matte Crimson. I love the bright matte color. For makeup details, check out my instagram @melissamchee. Photos by Warren who blogs over at Blog To Taste.

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.
