Fall Staple :: The Long Cardigan

Sunday Giveaway
One of the perks of being a style blogger is getting PR packages. However, a lot of the items didn't make it to the blog for several reasons. 1. They don't fit right 2. They do not look like stock photos and/or 3. The quality is just bad in person. I receive packages on a weekly basis and just simply can't wear them all. I am toying with the idea of giving some of them away to you ladies. We'll see how it goes this time. If it goes well, I'll probably do it once a month. If not, we'll just forget about it =) I do want to mention that I only giveaway things that do not fit me right but the quality is somewhat decent. I feel like even though they don't fit me right, they might be great on someone else's body. Low quality items will go directly to the donation pile. If you're interested, please leave a comment below letting me know which item you would like to win (first come first serve basis - one item per per person please)
1. High-waisted pants *CLAIMED*: I absolutely love the look of these pants. They are so chic for work. Unfortunately, they're too big for me. The pants is unlined. However, the fabric is thick enough so no worries about seeing through. Measurements: waist = 14", length = 45"
2. Color-block bandage dress *CLAIMED*: I thought this dress is made out of the thick heavy bandage material (hence the name) but it's not. The fabric is a light-weight cotton. For $17, I think the quality is OK. The reason I am giving it away because it's a tad too small on me. If you're one size smaller, this dress would fit you better. The quality is nothing to write home about but it should last you a few night outs.

Sumissura :: Design your perfect dress
As you might remember, I talked about Sumissura a couple of times in the past (here and here). I still love both coats and am looking forward to pull them out again in a few months. Imagine my excitement when Sumissura reached out to let me know the company now offers a board range of fully customizable dresses. I jumped at the chance and ordered a dress to try. I won't go into details about the process and how it works (you can read my initial reviews here and here). As expected, the entire process is pretty seamless and pleasant. After submitting my order, I got a shipping confirmation within a week. 3 days later, the package arrived at my doorstep (they ship via DHL).
Onto the dress, I have several sheath dresses that I rotate for work but all of them are sleeveless. I love the J.Crew cap-sleeve dress but it's either sold out in my size or not on sale. I decided to let Sumissura's seamstress do the magic and create a similar dress for me. As far as fit goes, no complaints from me. It fits just the way it's supposed to (form fitting but not too tight). The craftsmanship is impeccable. Stitches are finished without loose threads hanging at the end. The dress is fully lined. Overall, I feel great walking into the office in this dress.

5 non-clothing essentials for Fall
Fall essential # 1: A blanket scarf - No brainer, right? It can be worn so many ways and is a great way to add color and pattern to a basic outfit. There are tons of options out there and for the most part, they're pretty inexpensive as well.
Fall essential # 2: A wool hat - I was on the hunt for a wool hat this Fall and picked up this one last week. I am in love. It's gorgeous in person and the price is right. This hat is available in 4 colors. It's a little big on me but I use this trick and it works like a charm. I might have to pick up the grey version as well
Fall essential # 3: Fashion tights - Fall is the perfect time to rock sheer tights. Patterned tights are the easiest way to elevate your Fall outfits. I did a review for Berkshire tights last year and am thrilled for the opportunity to try a few pairs from their Fall collection. The sheer dots tights are perfect for this time of the year when temperatures in the 50s and 60s. They add a fun element to any outfit. What I love about Berkshire tights is that they have so many options to choose from. The easy on version is great for everyday wear. The moisture wicking material keeps you cool and dry. When the temperature drops into the 30s, the cozy hose is the perfect option. As its name suggest, these are opaque tights with fleece-lined legs. They feel so soft against the skin and are so comfortable to wear. As mentioned in the review, Berkshire tights are available in petite, regular and tall sizes.

Current Favorites
Today, I wanted to share a few of my current favorites. These are things I use and enjoy daily.
1. Dove dry spray antiperspirant: I've been using this products for almost 2 months now and I love it. It's so easy to use and dries super fast (no waiting time to get dressed). The scent smells wonderful and is not overpowering. This product keeps me dry all day. Dove spray does not contain alcohol which I like. Hubby is using the men version and he's a fan as well.
2. Knot earrings from Layered and Simple: If you've been following my blog for awhile then you know I love stud earrings. That's all I wear. Thanks to Lisa from Layered and Simple for sending over this gorgeous pair of knot earrings. They're amazing in person and I can't stop wearing them. Another favorite is the Bon Bon earrings. Layered and Simple carries a large selection of trendy jewelry pieces if you are interested in checking her shop out.
