Hi LOVEs! Happy Friday <3

How's your week been going? :) Today, we have gloomy and cold weather in Seattle. Sad, right? How about in your area? If the weather is sunny unlike here, I am so jealous, but if it is just as bad as here, I hope I can bring some brightness from today's post!

If you follow my blog and my Insta (@aikaslovecloset, if not please follow me for the daily updates!), you may remember that I hosted a trunk show at SEE Eyewear in Downtown about a month ago. It was very fun and I was very happy it was successful, considering it was my first EVER event! So I decided to treat myself a little bit and went for shopping with one of my besties! On our last destination, we stopped by ZARA, and we hunted a few great pieces, which I am wearing on today's post! He found these gorgeous and super fashion-forward matching set (get yours! TOP & SKIRT) while I was trying others on. He has a quite good eye, doesn't he? :)
It didn't take even a few second to fall in love with them! My love of matching sets is definitely growing, and they are just so fa-bu-lous!!!!! The crisp and fresh color of blue and white totally wowed me, and they're STRIPES! The print is so playful and never goes out of fashion! What I love the most about these pieces is how the top is simple in front but the back has an interesting yet lovely look because of the zip and twin folds. On top of that, the skirt blew me away with the overlaid design, having a different style in front and back! What a fun matching set! They of course will look good separately in other looks! I can't wait to try them in a different ensemble!

I styled them with white pointy heels to keep with the same hues and to add extra crispness. The colors blue and white represent the wide blue sky, unfurled white sails, and the azure sea, and I already have a breathtaking statement necklace that rides the oceanic theme. Then, I like the earrings give a touch of antique-look.
At the first attempt assembling this look, I paired with a black bag. However, we have to change ourselves to ditch a dark color and incorporate more brighter shades into our outfits! I decided to switch the black bag to the two-tone bag with a vivid green! Challenge succeeded! :)


Do you like these lovely striped matching set as much as I do? How would you style them?
I hope your Friday finishes amazingly and launches you into a fabulous weekend!

HAPPY NEW YEARS 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi LOVEs!
How was your New Year's Eve & Day?? I really hope you had a wonderful and exciting time!!
Thank you very much for your big support and love for my fashion last year! There were a lot of times that I would have given up on my dreams, but your continuous support saved me countless times! :) I will keep doing my best to give you wow photos and share my 'unique' style continuously in 2014!!!!

My first outfit is all about what I adore. A white faux fur coat, houndstooth leggings, a Kate Spade bag, and suspenders <3 I already have a few faux fur coats but didn't have a white one, and you have no idea how much I love my new one c/o NOWiSTYLE. Although it's a plain design, this coat is super fab and amazingly warm, and once you put it on, you can instantly create a chic vibe. As you may notice, this coat doesn't have either snaps or zippers so I used my belt with an awesome gold buckle to tighten around my waist. I have shorter legs, and this easy and small twist creates magic to make my legs longer and to balance out my height!

How amazing are these houndstooth leggings?  Handstooth prints are one of the must-haves for winter, and this leggings are just so perfect. If you get bored with a regular look, just adding or switching to any hounds tooth item would change your whole look, making it more trendy and eye-catchy! Another piece I definitely can't resist is suspenders. They are absolutely one of my current obsessions! I can say that this look wouldn't have been completed if suspenders were not worn. Don't you agree?? And I didn't wear them attached straight from the leggings because I wanted to wear them loosely to be a playful looking. I think I could say that the studded collar necklace adds an extra subtle essence to my look as well!
Of course, my favorite Kate Spade bag always severs as an outfit's standout piece thanks to its color and leather texture!


Have a lovely weekend!!!!

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
