Hi LOVEs!!! Hope your day has been going well so far!

I don't usually post at night, but recently my Internet connection had been down for a while and I just couldn't wait to get this out since I am finally reconnected! Today's post is all about night time fun, as I'd like to share some good photos I took with a killer background view while I was hanging out with my friend several nights ago!

Ever since college, I slowly transformed into becoming a night owl, and now I always find myself having the most fun after midnight. Driving around the city with my friends, indulging in the nightlife, enjoying a cheap late night dessert at my favorite restaurants -- those are the activites I enjoy most.  Personally, I get so inspired at night. Who's with me?
Yesterday we finally had such a beautiful sunny day after some horrible rainy weather, and a few weeks ago the city was completely covered with an awesome fog! So my friend and I took advantage of the misty scenery and snapped some night shots with the fog as a perfect creepy backdrop! This fog absolutely makes the city look even more beautiful and creates a different atmosphere that gave me a weird but interesting feeling. I was literally looking at the city for over 10 mins without thinking of anything... I was just lost in the impressive view. It was a calm nighttime stroll and I loved it!

Although the view was super sick, the winter icy-cold temperature was not pleasing, especially after midnight. However, this Forever 21 faux fur coat saved me!!! (Sadly it's sold out but similar here or here) It's faux fur, but it feels like real fur in terms of how warm it is and the texture is beyond sleek and luxurious. I have to admit that it's the best leopard fur coat EVER! I can't keep my eyes off of any coat that enables me to stay both chic and cozy.

What's your most favorite thing to do at night? I meant like "late night"... :)
Have a wonderful evening sweethearts ♥

Hi LOVEs!

First and foremost, I wanted to give a big thank you to my friend - Marcus - for photographing me lately to help me out. He is my old friend from my collage and I met him 5 years ago. I am so pleased we connected again after not talking for nearly 4 years! He is my main photographer now, and I am quite impressed with his photography skills although he has never done with fashion photoshoot because photography to him is a hobby and his focus is more nature and animals. I am delighted I was a trigger to expanded his photography expertise, and I hope working with me will help him improve that.

You know, if you are a fashion blogger and you have no one to take photos of your looks, that would be a crucial matter. Even if you do have the person, it could be another issue when he or she is seemingly uncomfortable to work with. I had been struggling with those difficulties, but he definitely saved me a lot. And he more impressed me as we work together because of the amazing results he creates!

I was more than happy that we ended up choosing the best location for our first shoot. Look at the insanely spectacular sunset... I've never ran into this amazing golden hour in Seattle. Plus we captured it during the photoshoot. It's double yays! I think you know that feeling like "I am so thankful for everything right now" whenever you witness the sunset. It even strengthens the feeling that "I am so glad I am alive and I can feel it from the bottom of my heart."

My life has been very tough. I believe I am not the only one who says that. However, I really appreciate I've encountered countless moments of little happiness like this. Instead of complaining how hard your life is, it's definitely worth and you can make better life if you try to find anything that makes you happy and smile, and even be appreciative for your pitfalls and struggles. "Pain makes stronger, tears makes you braver, and heartbreaks makes you wiser, so thank the past for a better future." A good thing ALWAYS comes after a bad thing, right?

New autumn season means new knit hunting! I got this

comfiest fuzzy knit last month at

H&M

, and I've been seriously in love with it! The comfortableness is just mind blowing.  No lies, I can sleep in this! I love how this knit could be worn in dress up and dress down. When I attended the Seattle's big fashion show, Downtown Seattle Rocks the Runway,

I styled it up with a lace midi skirt and floral sandals, accessorizing in some gold jewelry

. And this time I wanted to go for a laid back style to enjoy the beautiful sunny day so I chose leggings and gold pointy pumps. To me, paying a little attention to add some accessories is a key to polish a look. I can't walk out the door without a single accessory forgotten. I appreciate that mixing in gold jewelry offers the right amount of accent to this simple look, and even looked better with the gold sky.

Happy Tuesday sweet pies!

Hi LOVEs!
I am pretty sure you guys are all so ready for colder weather to layer up by now and so am I of course!!!! I actually started gathering a lot of fall inspirations on my Pinterest and am indulging myself in thinking about what outfits I will be sporting this autumn. However, it's okay to miss the feeling of summer and the fresh cool breeze that my skin enjoys now and then, right? So here you go!
 I finally am able to share with you guys one of my favorite end-of-summer photoshoots that I did with a Cali photographer, Enrique. Back in August, he came to visit Seattle for his project and he was looking for someone he could work with during his stay. I am always very thrilled to work with new talented people, so it was a delight to meet him and shoot!
To be honest with you, the photoshoot was by far the quickest one I've ever done. I was quite worried about how the photos would come out, but now the worry is replaced with satisfaction! We shot two outfits, and this one is the first look.

I got this slip dress from Forever 21, and I fell in love with it at first sight. It's effortlessly chic and soft yet sexy. Plus, it's thankfully wallet-friendly! I was really into spaghetti strap/slip dresses all during the summer. The lace-trimmed hem and openly back neckline design on this dress are what I am most fond of, and that what this dress makes so seductive. There are so many ways you can enjoy this dress. Even in fall, you can still wear it with a turtle neck top underneath, a cardigan and tights combination, or a chunky knit over it just like one of the variations I showcase in this post.

I wanted the look to be kind of a laid-back end-of-summer style, so I simply threw on a loose knit over the dress and slipped in my favorite platform sandals, finishing things off with some killer gold jewelry. It was literally a 5-minute look! As I was trying this dress in the fitting room, I figured out that this dress could also be worn as a top like a perfect leopard cami. Then, when I got home, I totally worked it out! So in an coming up post, I will share a look highlighting this dress again, but show it to you as an awesome stylish leopard cami top! Looking forward to it!

Have a lovely day, cuties ♥
