Valentine's Day is right around the corner. What are you ladies doing with your man? For me, I'm going to have a low key Valentine's Day. He will probably cook dinner (a typical day for us anyways) and I will surprise him with mini cheesecakes (I never bake, let's see how this will turn out) and we will probably just bum around (a typical day for us as well). I found this recipe for swirl raspberry cheesecake cupcakes here. Also, if any of you know my boyfriend, please don't tell him about my cheesecake surprise. I know he doesn't give a care to come read my blog so I am safe on my part.
But, if I was to go out for something nice on Valentine's Day. I would probably wear one of these 3 outfits I put together.
1) ASOS lace skater dress with long fitted sleeves, ASOS slot through portfolio clutch, and ALDO Hipp pumps
2) ASOS petite exclusive long sleeve belted wrap front dress, ASOS slot through portfolio clutch and ALDO Samella sandals
3) ASOS skater dress in lace, ASOS slot through envelope clutch and Christian Louboutin Pigalle patent pump
ASOS is having a promo this week just FYI. Type the promo code in capital letters. From my experience for shipping with ASOS. I found that if I sent an item (priced up to $40CAD) to my house in Canada, I found that I didn't get charged duty and tax. However, one time I bought a dress worth $80CAD and shipped it to my house. I had to pay $30 on top of that.
The best thing is to split your transactions so they each are under $40CAD if you want them to be sent to Canada. Or ship it to Point Roberts, WA to TSB or The Letter Carrier if your items are going to be higher than $40CAD (I'd still split my transactions regardless) and see what happens.
I love these 3 dresses and the turquoise clutch, so I will be buying them soon in preparation for future events and my friend's wedding. I'm going to an social media event for the World Music Fashion Festival on Friday so I'm super excited. However, I'm not that excited for my outfit to that event because I ripped off a deep chunk of skin on the bendy part of my heel on Monday so it limits my shoe choices. It even hurts to walk in flats..
Anyways, how are you spending your Valentine's Day?
Those dresses are gorgeous, I love the light lace one and I think the cheesecake sounds yummy. Who know's ...maybe your bf secretly reads your blog. hehe

LOL he tells me straight up he doesn't read it. But his coworkers do =)
DeleteLOL this is kind of freaky... I recently made a set with that ASOS envelope clutch as well (so cute!), PLUS I also tore the skin at the back of my heels on Sunday! Anyways, I love the outfits you made! I hope you have a great vday with your hubby :)
ReplyDeleteahh! are we twins are what? How did you do that to your heal? Mine was from a stupid gate. The scar "pac-manned" and it hurt even more now -_-
Deleteheel*
DeleteI guess my 'comfy' flats were actually pretty killer! It didn't even heal yet because it opens up when I get them wet but I can't not shower, LOL :( Hope yours heals soon!
Deleteoh gosh! my comfy flats hurt too! go to superstore and buy a moleskin in the shoe care section. it's a fuzzy "bandaid" that reduces friction for shoes. that has helped a lot with me this week when i wore flats or heels.
DeleteThanks for the tip! I'll pick some up for sure! :)
DeleteSo $40 is the limit? I've been wondering, because duty rates are soo high. Thanks for letting me know.
ReplyDeletethat's just from my previous experience ordering with them with different increments =)
DeleteI love the last lace dress in pink. It's such a gorgeous shade!
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit choices!
ReplyDeleteI wont be doing much for Valentine's - keeping it low key just like you are and doing the usual things my boyfriend and I usually do. It's nice like that :)
I've never ordered from ASOS before (since hearing all the stories about such high fees). I've been tempted many times tho...
love the outfits. did you order the clutch. if so i was wondering if you can take a picture of it becuase i am sooo curious as to how big it is in real life!
ReplyDeletehey yeah i did. i'm waiting for it to come in the mail. it's taking longer than i thought it would =\
