If you read my blog on regular basis you already know that one of my favorite online brands is Shein. Since I have many amazing clothes from them, I thought I had to be the one to give you the big news.

First of all, you must know that the webiste improved its look. being now a lot more accessible and giving you all the information you need about size, fit and fabric. Moreover, between the 17th to the 19th of July Shein will provide a summer clearance and the prices start from 2.99$. I really suggest you take a look at that here.

Nonetheless, the thing I am most excited about is the fact that Shein launched their own collection, designed entirely by them. You can shop the entirely new collection at pre-sale here.

As regards today's wishlist, well shorts are a pretty basic concept: they have the flexibility of pants and mimic the proportions of skirts. Still, many cringe at the thought of wearing them. Perhaps, it's because no pair seems to fit quite right or you feel it cuts you in all the wrong places, but I'm telling you: if there's a will, there's a flattering way.

Therefore I decided to gather the perfect pieces to overcome any doubt.

Green is a hot color for this summer. It can be a pretty color if worn right...and a disastrous one if worn wrong or on a peron with the wrong coloring. If you're someone who has seen this color around in the stores or on the streets, before you run out and buy it for yourself, you should take into account if it might suit you or not.

You really need to honestly ask yourself if green is the right shade for you, not for your neighbour, not for the stylish woman you saw on the street, not for your co-worker or anyone else you've seen wearing this shade. Not every color in the world is right for everyone. Just because you see it in the stores doesn't mean you have to wear it.

This is a green shade that does not have a lot of saturation. You can see that the color is really pastel. A color like this looks better on people with softer coloring. I chose to warm up the dress with gold metallic accessories and chose a statement necklace that could complete the look and style.

What do you think? Do you like this dress?

"Details make perfection, but perfection is not a detail"

In principle, dressing well seems to be easy. Buy and wear clothes that fit and combine to project an image. You don't even have to buy expensive clothes to dress well. With this in mind, I can not wonder, why are so many people terribly dressed?

Do you think that it really doesn't matter how you dress? Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but people judge you based  on the clothes you wear. I don't care if you're walking down the street or sitting in a business meeting; people are constantly look at what you're wearing.

Things being said, details do make the difference. Take today's outfit for example. Do you think that this simple blue shirt would look so interesting without the floral details on the sleeves? For me, dressing for comfort doesn't mean skimping on style, so this blouse with these cute details was the perfect pairing with a midi skirt and fancy sandals. I chose the yellow bag because I love a chic pop of color. Besides this, the classic color combo pulls the entire look together, adding a sense of polish and sophistication.

What about you? Do you pay attention to all the details?
