TOP Secret and TSwift 2.0


Is it wrong for the Fashion Empress to covet an amazing shop that has great clothes as well as great prices?? My mother and I were browsing along a certain stores website and came across a SHOP that has the TOP fashions for reasonable prices. Can you guess what it is?? I'll be dropping hints. But I did make wonderful purchases from this SHOP. I bought a delicious high wasted golden skirt with a dark simple print on it. And a divine crop top that is long sleeve black lace with an attached black bandeau underneath. With this outfit I have paired gray stockings and a cute clunky heel from Bp. I am so excited to wear this outfit to a wedding. My mother insists that I wear a top knot with this outfit, I am not going to lie but it is a cute idea. But I have medium-long hair and since I am wearing a high wasted skirt I want to wear my hair down to make it appear longer. Sorry mom! 


TSwift Begin Again
Anyways... Have you checked out the new Taylor Swift music video Begin Again? I know this is the second time I have discussed Taylor's beautiful taste in clothing, but in this music video Taylor looks stunning. My wise mother has been telling me that Taylor Swift and Kate Middleton are bringing back femininity to fashion. In Taylor's new music video she is wearing the long skirts and beautiful blouses. Also the other dress Taylor wears is an elegant, simple, soft lavender dress that is to die for. Check it out to see more of Taylor's tasteful looks! 






Coming soon I will be revealing the TOP Secret SHOP, as well as posting some pictures of my friends and I and our fashion when we go to a nice party. In this case a wedding.

Fall Haul

Sorry I've been MIA ladies, but I've been terribly busy. Anyways I am back now. It's officially fall. The weather is cooler and the leaves have changed. Just a week ago, I went crazy shopping on a budget. I had fun and bought the essentials I need for the fall and into the winter.

Kohl's

I am not one to shop at Kohl's on the daily, but I will have to say I was impressed. There are three designers in Kohl's who I liked, Rock and Republic, Elle, and Lauren Conrad. Now I didn't go crazy and buy my entire fall wardrobe at Kohl's. But I found the high wasted pant's I've been on the hunt for. I tried on three pairs of high wasted pants in shades of red. The Rock and Republics had a nice fit, but I didn't like the material. The Lauren Conrad corduroy pants were cute but the brightness of the red was a little too intense for me. So finally the Elle maroon colored pants. They were perfect. They hit me at a good spot and maroon was the right shade to go with for the fall.

                                                   Target/Super Target
Women's Mossimo® Vianca Tuxedo Flat - Assorted ColorsI like the Target that's only 5 minutes away from my house, but going to the Super Target is better. There are more options and more chances that your size and what you want will be there. But at my Target in town I purchased: a pair of cheetah flats and a gray beanie. At the Super Target I got: a wonderful worth buying jacket, I call it my motorcycle jacket because it has a bunch of zippers and buttons. I also bought a black shirt that zips up in the back and has a little slit opening where the zipper ends about 3/4's down the back. Around the bottom of shirt, near the belly button on me, there is a black skirt trim. I have seen at some stores, like Urban Outfitters, this type of shirt is there but I got this wonderful shirt from Super Target for only $20. It's an adorable shirt. The last thing I bought from Super target is a blouse. It's a flesh nude with polka dots around it. I am not big on patterns that much, but I enjoyed the pattern with the look of the shirt and I think its a cute and flirty blouse to wear.





Local Shopping
Usually I don't like to shop at the local boutiques or clothing stores in town because they don't have what I like or the cost is too much. But at a store in my town, that is originally for people who like the outdoors, I found a plaid button up flannel.

That is the end of my fall haul and I hope you all enjoyed it. I will be posting more soon!

Fall Favorites

It's officially October, my favorite month right next to December! The fall season is officially here and the southern leaves have changed their colors. So it's time to change colors in the closet. Goodbye bright colors, hello warm colors. I can't wait to carve pumpkins for Halloween and see little kids dress up! When the weather get's colder I can't wait to wear over-sized sweaters and boots. I have a new list that I'd love to share. The items on this list are my favorite clothes, accessories or make up.

Fall Favorites Check List:
  • Fake eye lashes- Gluing on fake eye lashes has always been a hard task for me. But recently I was able to get them to stick on. For me, because I am Asian, seeing my eye lashes or coating them in mascara is hard. With fake eye lashes, they make my eyes bigger and my lashes lushes. The fake eye lash kit I use is called water proof Lash Grip. It works great. If you want to get a fuller eye look for a night out, I recommend Lash Grip. After you apply your Lash Grip lashes, generously coat your real lashes and fake lashes with mascara. 
  • Colored high wasted jeans- If you read one of my posts from awhile ago. you would know that I love high wasted pants. I finally snagged a good pair from... Khols! Now I am not one to constantly shop at Khols, but if your on a budget or not in the mood to spend $70 on a pair of high wasted jeans go to Khols. Look for either Rock and Republic, Elle, or Lauren Conrad collection of high wasted pants. I decided on a pair of Elle dark, red, high wasted, straight jeans. I love them! They are super comfortable. 
  • Target flats- Target has a decent collection of flat shoes. I have seen the same shoes at Urban Outfitters, but the ones at Target are 30$ or less than the shoes at UO. The two pairs of shoes I got are a turquoise pair with a burnt brown outline and burnt brown tassels, and the other pair is a cheetah flat, which I wear with my high wasted jeans. 
  • The Brad Pitt Beanie- Beanies are super fun and are perfect for a bad hair day. You can either throw your hair up into the hat or place the beanie upon your head. To me, it is a little hipstery, but is a great accessory for when you are running out the door and you aren't loving your hair. 
So there is my check list... for now. Do you have a check list? Comment below and tell me your favorite fall must haves and favorites. 

Also comment below and tell me what you want me to write about next... a celebrity style? Hair care? Or if commenting is too difficult, email me at thefashionempress34@gmail.com and tell me what you want to see on the Fashion Empress.
