Summer Glam

This morning when I opened my closet, I couldn't pick anything to wear which drove me nuts. This tends to be a recurring problem, maybe it is just my excuse to shop for more clothes. I finally picked out this beige, lace dress that I bought from Zara last year which was accidentally shrank by my lovely hubby while he was doing the laundry. I am still kind of upset talking about this since I really like the dress and I only wore it once. On the bright side, although I cannot wear this dress as a dress anymore, but I could wear it as a top. 

I am really happy about this outfit I put together today despite the fact that I am feeling uninspired and all.

Maximized

 

Being 5'2 does not stop me from wearing maxis. In fact, they are one of my favourite ensembles in the summer. So airy and light, perfect for the heat.

Glymm Box GIVEAWAY

Hope everyone is enjoying their week so far. I have been recently approached by Glymm.com and I am so excited to announce that Glymm will be giving away a September Glymm Box to one of Chic Escape's readers.

In case you haven't heard of Glymm.  Glymm is similar to Birch Box and Luxe Box. It offers its subscribers 4 - 5 deluxe-sized, luxury beauty samples each month. These samples are hand-selected by Glymm's panel of experts according to your personal beauty profile once you fill it out. I love this idea as it offers a more personal experience. Once you have tried the products in the comfort of your own home, you can then purchase the full size versions of your samples in the their beauty boutique. You can even earn points and use them towards the purchase of the full sized products off their site. 


According to Glymm.com, it only ships to Canada at this moment but they will soon offer US boxes. 

I haven't tried Glymm yet, but for only $10/month or $110/year, it's worth a try. If you are interested, you can sign up through here (this link contains my referral code, so if you sign up, I can earn some Glymm points too hehe)

Into the Night

These pictures were taken when hubby and I went out for dinner tonight. It was actually much harder to take photos at night than in the day. But we managed to snap a few good ones with the aid of a off-camera flash.

 

I scored this pussy-bow silky blouse on a recent vintage hunt; this could be a staple piece in my closet as it will go so well with almost any and everything. One thing I don't like about this look is the belt. As I was editing the pictures, I realized the belt did not go so well with my outfit. I think I'd be better off without it. Oh well... :(

 

I also scored this pair of Report Signature heels at Revolve Clothing for 60% off. They are okay as far as for the comfy level. But the sexiness of the straps and the peep toes made up for everything!
