Happy Monday my LOVEly readers!!!!
How have you been? I hope you guys have been great as always!
I know the last time I blogged was more than a week ago... :( I really wanted to blog because I have a lot of outfits I am eager to share, yet my Japanese friend came visit me for a week all the way from Japan!!! I'd had SO MUCH FUN with her ;) She was a friend from high school, and we both were on the tennis team. However, we weren't in that close relationship. Wasn't it so sweet of her to fly over here to see me, though? I couldn't stop crying as she was about to enter the gate at the airport. I was greatly happy to see her because she has been supporting my fashion for a very long time!! Even though I love America so much, her visiting really made me miss all of my Japanese friends!!!! haha


_________________________________________

I believe that this outfit will be my last 'summer look'. In the previous post, I mentioned that I received a great care package from Charlotte Russe. Most of the clothes I am wearing in this outfit consists of the pieces from the care package: Leopard Body-con Dress, Denim Vest, and Skull Print Scarf.

I am so in love with these clothes!!! It's really hard to tell, but the leopard body-con dress comes in ponte knit fabric with sheer mesh insets at the sides, back and shoulder. I should have taken a picture without the vest so that you know what I am talking about, but you can check the actual dress HERE in CR online site. Just like the picture shows, I can wear it as a rock and casual style while I could wear it for nights out or girls night, mixing it up with a pair of fancy heels and a pop of red lips. Or I can style it up as a skirt with layering over a chunky knit/sweater, which could be a great fall/winter look.

This denim vest is a very nice piece, too. I really like the camouflage print details at the shoulders because it makes dissimilar to other regular denim vests. The denim vest is such a versatile item... If you have already one and wore it already in summer, don't forget to transform it to a fall look. It can be worn in many ways. Like wearing over a sleeve shirt either check or plain one. You can mix it up with a fall dress and hoodie. Also, wear it with a denim jacket for creating a denim-on-denim look, one of the trends this fall/winter.

The last Charlotte Russe piece I am wearing in this outfit is Skull Print Scarf. 

I have really wanted to own any skull print stuff but had never had a chance to find my ideal one. So when I got this awesome skull scarf, I was so excited! It's nice when you wear it as a scarf, but it's also cute when you use it as an accent just like how I did it for this look!!!!


Hope you like/love how I style up these awesome Charlotte Russe pieces!

Hi LOVEly readers! It's been a while huh? I am very sorry! I took an awesome trip to LA and Las Vegas for a few days last week! It's been almost 3 years since I last visited LA, and it was my first time to go to Vegas!!!! I had a very memorable and enjoyable trip! I met up for the first time with a few sweet girls from IG (btw, follow my IG @aikaslovecloset, if you haven't yet!), and I was finally able to visit my friend's store in LA, called Moods of Norway!!!! I hope to write a future blog about this adventure because I'd like to share my awesome trip with you! :) 

_________________________________

This look is DEFINITELY one of my favorites from this summer's looks! This camo print skirt is one of the pleasant pieces that I received in my recent Charlotte Russe care package, and I just fell in love with this skirt. How could I not? Camo prints are still hot right now, and I really love how cute this skirt is!!!! I might have bought camo print pants or tops, but I never thought of a skirt! Camo prints tend to create more of an edgy or funky vibe, but this skirt doesn't lose its sweet and endearing style! So, I decided to style it up with a lovely crop top and a baby pink cardigan to accentuate the sweetness even more. I believe that this outfit looks great with OR without the cardigan! As I found out before in my precious other camo look, the combination of red with camo prints is such a great match. Without a doubt, this crop top and camo skirt  go perfectly together!  

To top if off, I mixed it up with studded detail sandals from ALDO (I love them so much!), black folded clutch, and the round mirrored sunglasses from Free People. By adding these three items, I toned things down and infused a touch of sassy without taking away from the overall sweetness of the outfit. 

You can still get this camo skirt at the Charlotte Russe online store!
Now you can buy it at $4.49; original price was $10.99! What a deal!!!!
Don't miss it! You'll love it! 

Thank you very much for the awesome camo skirt, CR!!!! I am in love with it so much! <3

Hope you like/love this sweet camo look!

End-of-Summer Tribal

 Photographed by Justin Swain

TRIBAL PRINT DRESS: C/O Charlotte Russe
GREEN BUTTON UP CARDIGAN : C/O Now I Style
BELT & FRINGE BAG: Forever 21
STRAW HAT: H&M
RED FRAMED SUNGLASSES: ALDO
PLATFORM SANDALS (PICKUP BLACK NUBUCK): Steve Madden 

-------------------------------------------------------



I was very pleased to receive a care page from Charlotte Russe (Thanks Ryan!!!!!! <3 ) in the beginning of August because CR is one of my favrite stores. Until now, I had only bought shoes and accessories there; I had not yet purchased clothing there. So the package was a pleasant surprise to me as there were many pieces that fit my style so well, and this tribal dress was my first pick!!!  I am so excited to finally blog about their outfits!

To start, I've  never attempted to wear a tribal print before, but this dress totally turned me onto tribal prints. It's super fun and dazzling because of the mix of colors and patterns. Another hot part of this dress is its double straps and the big cut-out details in the back. I just love these details because they bring out the decollate and the back. You ca see what I am talking about through the pictures, right?

The dress is a bit longer than I usually wear. So, I added the wide belt to adjust the length and also to balance top and bottom since I am short in stature and have short legs. Then, I paired it up with my new Steve Madden black platforms to add some height and make my look more flattering. 

In order to elevate this tribal-print look, I layered up a bunch of chunky bracelets with colors and threw on this lovely straw hats, styling my hair up into a low bun to show off the beautiful back details.

Although the Seattle summer still heats up our daytime, it gets chilly when the night comes. This easy thin fabric green cardigan from Now I Style did a great job to keep me warm in the brisk weather. Just wearing a cardigan, either thin or chunky, is such an awesome and handy way to transition a summer look into a fall look. By the way -- I've became an official style blogger on the Now I style site! I will talk about it more in a future outfit post!)


Hope you like/love my tribal-print look!!!  Don't forget to check out Charlotte Russe both online and at a store near you! FYI -- Online CR store always does crazy deals like BOGO and MORE so I highly recommend you to sign up for their mail list to be sure that you won't miss those awesome sales!

Fashion Week Is Around The Corner, What Will You Wear?

Tons of fashion lovers have been more than excited for what's gonna happen in the next few weeks!

That's right!!!! Fashion week will soon begin!!!

Just as some background, September is the month when many cities feature a fashion week to introduce the next seasons' clothing lines. You can find out when fashion week is held at the most famous locations

HERE

!

 NYFW is one of the most famous fashion events, not to mention FW in Miran and Paris. Everyone is just dying to attend, including me!! Unfortunately I can't go to NYFW this year.. It's a bummer for sure, but I will be definitely going in the next few years! Although I am not able to attend NYFW, I was privately invited to the

Nolcha Fashion Week

happening in Seattle, and I will be there for sure! They will be showcasing the best in global independent fashion design, featuring over 30 designers including: womenswear, menswear, eco, swimwear and accessories! Also, there will be a media brunch the next day! It's a great opportunity for me to connect with new peers and colleagues!

 The last time I went to a fashion show was some time ago, and it was not the best experience. Therefore, I am extremely thrilled about going to this one! Plus, this will be pretty exclusive and legit, as they only accommodate only press, media, bloggers, retailers, buyers and stylists for their shows. I just know that this show will give me some pleasant experience, and I am really looking forward to meeting a ton of new people at the media brunch!!!!! 

Now I have to decide what I should wear for the shows and at brunch...  I've been researching for the trends and hot pieces, yet I am having so much trouble deciding what to wear. Have you ever been in a similar situation?

 So I thought that I could gather some inspiration from the fashionsitas of the world. Looking at their fashion/style can help me put together some stylish options of my own, and I found a lot of great, unique, stylish, refined, and fashion-forward outfit inspirations from everywhere. I pinned them on

my pinterest

.

So here are 20 inspiring photos that I really adored and I wanted to share with you guys! 

Hopefully you'll get some inspiration from them because I sure did! There are

MORE

on my pinterest

so please check it out!

Oh, I'd like to know what you are going to wear during your fashion week, so please share it with me by leaving me a comment below!

I hope you'll have a lot of fun at whichever fashion show you are going to!

Hi my LOVEly readers! 
I am super sorry I've been MIA for a week! My total bestie (we've been best friends for almost 4 yrs!!!) went back to Japan for her new job not that she's done with school, so I was busy spending time with her! She's been super supportive, sweet and kind ever since we became close friends! Of course I cried at the airport when I saw her off, but you know our hearts are always connected wherever we are! I wish her all the best on her new journey! 


I don't know if I have mentioned it before or not, but I am such a HUUUUUUGE fan of Rihanna! Not only do I love her songs, I also adore and am inspired by her style all the time... She never fails to impress her fans and fashion-lovers, and she can completely pull off any outfit, can't she? I can't wait to have some of her new Rihanna For River Island  F/W collection pieces!!! 

With that being said, today's outfit is inspired by one of her black & gold looks. I've always tried to achieve this kind of look, and finally I did it! With no doubt, I absolutely love this whole sets of pics. I surely love this outfit, but I am even more pleased with how the poses were all unique & stylish, and the location was definitely killer. These things just  made my look even more refined! 

The Black and Gold combination is never out of style....
 I styled this outfit up with studs, chains, and spikes to enhanec the cool, edgy rock 'n' roller's taste.Then I added a touch of sweetness by curling my hair, sporting the red lips, wearing some platform lace up booties, and adding the crop top with off-the-shoulder detail. This TOBI double chain necklace is a super fab item I shopped recently, and it was really kind to my wallet! lol (only $12!!!!!) If you'd like to get yours click HERE with the code SUNKISSED50 to get 50% off sitewide by the end of this month! 



Hope you like/love my look as well as all the pictures!

___________________________________

Some of my current crush colors are pastels, so when I was looking into the 2013's fall/winter trends, I am so pleased to learn that the pastels will continue to be a big trend!  I definitely agree with that because they are so pretty, are so tasty, and so girly! Who in the world would hate these colors, right?  I am already excited to shop for my fall/winter clothes in pastels and style them up with a mint-colorblocking, metallics, and other things to make an unexpected style!!!!

I found this lovely minty high-low dress at a local ROSS, I seriously couldn't wait to wear it!!!! The dress itself has a huge impact and totally embraces my girly summer look, while at the same time helping me to stay cool in the remaining summer weather. What's my most favorite thing about this dress? It's very fascinating and appealing when the wind blows.... You can easily imagine that, can't you?

Although this outfit is already impressive by the dress alone, I wanted to elevate my look by mixing it up with some accessories. 

The chunky clear earrings and the fresh white bag add a summer touch, and wearing the brown Steve Madden belt can elongate my height. On top of that, I chose a pair of nude wedge sandals so that I can generate the magic of my legs looking longer!!!

Oh I have one more magic trick for you to make your legs skinnier!
Just wear any anklets!!!
(This time I transformed my bracelet into an anklet!) 
Though they won't make a huge statement, they are definitely a great piece to upgrade your whole look!!!

Hope you like/love my minty dress and hopefully the anklet magic will work for ya too!

P.S. I am extremely in love with my new purple ombre hair!
 So many people have already given me some sweet compliments and are jealous of it! haha

----------------------------------------------

I am very pleased with this beautiful weather in Seattle lately, as sometimes the temperatures are hitting over 90 degrees! Since fall is soon approaching, I want to enjoy Seattle's short summer even more with some bright outfits in these final few weeks.

My theme? Let's stay cool yet fashionable during the remaining summer!

I can't take my eyes off how this tropical print top goes perfectly well with my lace skirt. Orange is one of my favorite colors in summer and when I ran into this amazing lace skirt as browsing TOPSHOP, it blew me away!!!! What an great skirt to make a statement!

I am such a big fan of lace, yet I don't have much lace in my closet. So I was super happy I could get this beautiful lace skirt. Also, as fall approaches I can still rock this skirt mixing it up with some fall items, such as a motorcycle jacket, a cropped sweater, a plain shirt, a tailored blazer, and MORE!

Until this summer, I'd never tried out a tropical print. But you know what? Now I feel obsessed with tropical prints because just wearing one can  instantly add a summer vibe to my look. This top is especially amazing. The print is not a plain design; it looks like a bunch of summer evening beach shots of Hawaii have been randomly combined. Not only that, the back is very attractive because of the cutouts, which I like the most about this top.

When it came time to choose my heels, I picked my new barely-there-heels to tone down my look since both top and bottom are bright and really stand out. Although these are simple black heels, I really love the details of them. The chunky cylindrical heel makes the heels especially interesting

.

One last thing. How wonderful is this double chain necklace? It's from TOBI (you can buy it HERE) and I really appreciate that it's double chains, not simply a single one. This necklace definitely is a perfect piece for any occasion, and every girl needs a simple necklace that can make a bold statement all by itself.

Hope you like/love my "let's-enjoy-summer-more" look as much as I do!

What's your essential piece(s) to enjoy the rest of your summer?

_________________________________

As you have seen from a lot of bloggers and celebrity looks, monochrome styles are definitely one of the popular trends this season. 

When I found this dress, I thought this would be a perfect eye-catchy yet unique item I should try... What a pleasant surprise to see how successfully it turned out! I certainly love this look!!!!!  Not only does it all come together really well, it really has a very elegant and sophisticated feel about it. Despite being monochrome (which sometimes runs the risk of being boring), today's look has a fun and playful aspect thanks to the dress' design and the cut out lace-up heels. 

I really adore the statement that the necklace and crystal earrings make. 

The necklace is a very versatile piece since it can go well with a casual style all the way to a dressy style like today's look. 

Chunky, big, and bold earrings are a must-have item for this summer and fall. Adding fabulous jewelry can instantly refine your outfit and make your face shine! 

Hope you like/love my monochromatic look <3

Please Say HELLO to My Perfect Bag...

GROVE COURT MAISE by Kate Spade

First things I really have to say is.... 

These pictures just don't do it justice at all because this bag is insanely fabulous in person! 

I fell in love with this bag when I first saw it online at Kate Spade, and I shared it with one of my best friends.
Then...guess what happened?
He gave this amazingly beautiful bag with surprise a couple of days ago!!
I couldn't believe this for a few minutes, but it's MINE now!
I super duper love this so much! Everything about this bag is so lovely and pleasing...


The smell of its leather...
All the details even inside of the bag...

The two-tone colors... The combination of a fresh light green and black...
and
The perfect size for day to night...

I can't express how happy I am with this bag, and deeply thankful for my precious friend!
I know my daily outfits will look better with this beautiful bag <3

Hi LOVEly readers!
It's August, which means summer time is almost gone... :( I still have so many things I wanna do, though. 
Such a short time to do so many things! Oh well... I gotta plan each day not to waste what summer I have left! haha
I have been waiting for so long to post this ALL WHITE look ever since I had the photoshoot! ALL WHITE is the definitely style that I really wanted to try for once!! Why not?!?!
 Finally I made it happen, and how can't I NOT love this trend? I believe that all-white look can been seen everywhere, so now I wonder why I hadn't tried it myself until now.. It's an insanely awesome look for this season. I really love the fact that white can create that image of purity, peace, and innocence, and I think that my outfit is no exception. ( I hope!) But that's not all I am about, as you know! Never satisfied, I styled it up with some bold accessories and jewelry, such as red lipstick, a spiky necklace, some lizard earrings, a snake ring, and neon platforms.  That gave me all-white with some EDGE!

When the photographer and I were looking for some nice scenery in which to showcase this look, we ran into a perfect hidden place right in Pike Place Market. The light pink wall generates a Greek/Santorini atmosphere that really matches my look and makes my outfit standout even more. (If only the photoshoot could have REALLY been in Greece!) Plus, the cafe bar right opposite the wall has an amazing style thanks to their fascinating exterior. 

One of my recent fave items is this Spike Mob Necklace courtesy of ABSTRAKTLA! I've got so many compliments on this necklace, and everyone loves it! It can go with any kind of clothes/styles for sure! I've paired it up with a sundress, black sheer top, and a draped cami. Yup, all of them look absolutely fabulous with this necklace!
If you are looking for a cool necklace that helps create a subtle look, this is it!
Thank you so much ABSTRAKTLA! :)

Do you have a necklace that goes with every outfit? 


Hope you like/love my ALL WHITE look :)

80's Double Neon

 Photographed by Robin Osgood

NEON TOP: Nordstrom Rack

NEON SKIRT, DISCO BALL EARRINGS, ROUND BAG(similar here), SPIKED BRACELET: H&M

NECKLACE: EXPRESS

BELT: Japan

WATCH: ASOS

BOW HAIR CLIP: American Apparel

CLEAR HEEL LACE-UP BOOTS(similar here): Chalotte Russe

WHITE FRAME SUNGLASSES(similar here): Forever 21

---------------------------------------------------

Ever since neon has become a trendy color motif, I've been totally fascinated with it...
Once you add some neon to your regular look, you can create a totally different style out of it, and all of a sudden you are on trend. On top of that, neon is such an energetic color filled with vitality that it lends it energy to me, and makes me happier whenever I wear it! I really appreciate its strong but fun he...

With the in mind, I decided to combine two neon colors in different textures for today's outfit. I absolutely love how fun and pretty the look came together because I had reservations about how well combining two strong in a single outfit might turn out.
The outfit is definitely stand-out, but it has a playful, retro look to it! I love that this look has an 80's touch, which I've never attempted to achieve previously. I believe that the white framed sunglasses, disco ball earrings, hologram round bag, and clear heel lace-up booties are the pieces really create that 80's vibe.

Beyond clothing, I really love collecting hair accessories, and this bow hair clip from American Apparel has been one of my most favorites in my collection. Why? My answer is pretty obvious! It's amazingly cute and versatile while staying simple! In a previous post, I styled it up differently. For this look, after I made a messy bun, I just clipped it on the side. It's a super effortless way to form a lovely hairstyle when you think your hair needs something extra!

Hope you like/love my neon look!
What's your favorite look that combines a neon color?

Hi LOVEly readers!
Sorry I haven't posted anything for a week! Recently everyday has been so hectic as I am going to perform flags at the Sea Fair held this Saturday! For the last month, I've been practicing for the event every weekend from the morning to the evening, so I have needed time to recover! But from next week, I will promise to update more often! :) 
Please wish me luck to perform well at the Sea Fair!!!!

_______________________________

I am completely obsessed with this tropical print dress! It's from Forever 21 and its price was surprisingly affordable! I am so glad to have it now because I had a hard time deciding whether to buy this or another awesome dress. Seriously...The pictures don't do it justice... I adore its beautiful print and colors... They are so flattering when the breeze  blows. More importantly, the texture is amazingly comfortable!
 I've never owned any tropical garments until I got this, and this amazing dress is definitely a perfect summer piece! I can wear it from day to night, changing accessories and jewelry. It really makes me want to go on a vacation and take a trip to somewhere tropical with this! haha

I paired it up with another great pair of black lace up heels (I am so in love with them!) and the retro-looking glasses to create an elegant chic accent to this very playful dress. Because the dress is very flattering and sways when blown, I didn't do anything to my hair. I want it to flutter in the wind as well. To complete the motif, I added some earrings that resemble sails of a boat, to also sway to the wind and add to the breezy look.


Hope you like/love my tropical themed look!

 Have a great TGIF!

Hi LOVEly readers! Hope you all have been enjoying the summer so far!!

Lately I am totally obsessed with EARTH COLORS like blue and green and I am definitely loving the trend to "GO BOLD". That's why today's outfit is something that I have wanted to pull off for a long time: "ALL BLUE LOOK"

I completely love this outfit because of  how it delivers a bold, yet fresh summer feel that is functional, as iti is also cool. I feel it stays stylish while retaining some edgy. I styled it up with all-silver accessories to accentuate the outfit, and then I worked to match the color of my earrings with that of the clutch so that my look is really unified from head to toe. I am absolutely in love with this awesome palm print clutch with fringed accents. Just carrying this summery printed clutch really adds a summer vibe to my look, don't you think? To top it off , the reflective sunglasses (definitely a trendy item!), add an extra-splendid emphasis to this bold look!!!


Hope you like/love my ALL BLUE LOOK! 

What color would you wanna go with for your own BOLD LOOK?

Lately, I have been shopping A LOT, thanks to my precious friend who presented me with a couple of gift cards. I took advantage of them to buy summer items at my favorite stores for the last few weeks, and I went to Aritzia in the Bellevue Square Mall the other day. Luckily, they were having HUGE sales, and I was totally happy that I picked up super awesome stuff there, and I wanted to feature many of them in today's post.

The Graphic Muscle T-shit is what I love the most from my purchase. It's insanely superb, isn't it?! I really love the big graphic of the lady in the front, then when I turn to the side, another print of gentleman shows up! How fun and cool!!!This time, I styled things up with a tomboy-ish look, mixing it up with striped shorts, baseball cap, and spiked ear cuff earrings! I believe that the reflective sunglasses add and extra bit of edginess and contribute a cool vibe as well!
Down the road, I can't wait to show you how I can make different looks using this muscle T :)

When I came to chose the shoes to finalize my outfit, I picked my new Windsor Mint Strap Clear Heel Sandals in order to retain a touch of femininity. On top of that, I used a pastel lipstick, and its color really matches with the mint color of the sandals!  Those sandals are so on point, and I just love to wear them!

I must say this outfit will definitely be one of my favorite summer outfits!!!!!

Hi lovely readers!
I hope you guys have enjoyed the last two striped shirt looks showcased on my blog previously! Today's is the last one in the series, and it is still hard for me to chose which look is my favorite... Can you? lol

Well, there is definitely one thing I can confidently say, though:
 "Striped items are very fun to style up and super trendy. 
On top of that, they make absolutely versatile piece as well!!!" 

This time around, I tried to achieve a modern 90's formal look. I paired the shirt up with a neon sky-blue tulip skirt because you need a dash of conspicuous color to pull off a 90's vibe. Then, I tucked the shirt in so that it adds that air of sophistication. To enhance the look further, I mixed up with some ankle socks (Actually these socks are knee-length, but I pushed them down to the ankle.) and wore a pair of refined off-gold pumps.
If you have rounded sunglasses, simply put them on to make a easy 90's or retro look! You see from the photos that when I am wearing my BLACK MISS BROOKS SUNGLASSES from Free People, it totally completes my 90's outfit. Don't you agree?
When it came to styling my hair, I slightly curled it (including my bangs) and brought it to the side. Then I covered the hair tie by winding with a small bundle of my hair around it.

I completely DIG these sunglasses because I looooooooooove over-sized sunnies. There are so many varieties in Japan, but not so many in here in Seattle unfortunately... The roundness of these sunglasses really complements my face since I consider myself to have a pretty large face, and they really help my face to appear smaller (which is very important to me!) I also think that hese types of sunglasses can fit any type of faces, so I should say these are a MUST-HAVE!

Hopefully, you've enjoyed ALL three striped shirt looks (The first look HERE & the second look HERE), and please comment below to tell me which one of the 3 is your favorite! :)
