Hi LOVEs!!

I finally have the chance to show you one of my favorite looks and a favorite photo set done with @

Asian_Impressions

! I really love how he snapped precious and happy moments so beautifully in each image. We were so lucky to find a glass area with these lovely daisy flowers all over the place and they magically blended into my look as a perfect backdrop for summer.

Who said that you can't wear a knit during this summer season? I snagged this bright orange oversized knit a white ago at

ZARA

, and seriously I am obsessed with a juicy pop of orange!

ZARA

is still carrying a lot of

vibrant knitwear

and I am digging all of them! Even though here in Seattle we've been having such unexpected sunny weather, we still have to accept the gloomy and unhappy climate once in a while. However, when I wear this amazing vivid knit on such days, I become very happy and it keeps me away form the chill at the same time! I colorblocked with lilac skinny jeans and styled them with same hued wedge sandals to elongate my legs. Some people love wearing simple looks such as black and white. I totally understand that and love the style, of course. Yet, wearing bright colors is also something I can't get away from because it's fun, eye-catchy, and very seasonally appropriate. On top of that, it naturally creates pleasant feelings and help you give you more confidence. Don't you think so? I really want to play with more prints, colors, and combinations like these over this summer!

Since the pants are pastel, I went with stacking pastel bracelets and a pastel orange clutch bag. Then, I finalized my look with some silver accessories to give a little bit of an edgy vibe.

I am now teaming up with

David Barton Gym

for their

#LookBetterNaked

campaign for three months! I visited there for the first time last Saturday, and WOW! It's the fanciest gym I've ever seen!! I will post a bunch of photo updates such as the inside of the gym, workouts, outfits, and etc on my Instagram (@

AikasLoveCloset

), so make sure to follow me to keep updated! :) It will be super exciting and I can't wait to see how healthy I will become (and look!) over the next few months!!

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?

Kate Spade Grove Court Floral Lacey

I can't express how happy I am to finally own a Kate Spade piece.

Kate Spade's world is my huge inspiration, and you have no idea how deeply I've always wanted to have their amazing products! Whenever I go shopping at their store, especially the Bellevue one, they make me feel as if I was in the different world, and my head is full of inspiration because of their amazing color hues and designs, stylish displays, and how the shop assistants dress up... If I ever could work there, that would be one of my biggest dreams made true!!!!

Every time I pick up my new wallet from my bag to pay something, it gives me extra smile on my face! And I am always loving the scent of its leather! Super duper happy :)

Thank you very much Kate Spade <3

Simple Tangerine Orange

AikA ~A Sweet Scent of Affection~

March 2, 2012

Lately, my days are more than hectic because I currently started two new jobs, including an intern. Yea, having three jobs affects me not having a free time plus makes me completely crazy. Most of the time I sleep for only a few hours... NAY!!!! Regardless, I LOVE my jobs!!!!! Whenever I work there, I can obtain new skills, new learning, and new connections. My boss at both places are very understanding, kind, and super helpful :) I feel so trusted that makes me really happy and encourages me to work so hard. I just wish to have more sleep hours, though....

Although it drives me crazy, it's completely better than being bored or no job. Last year when I was waiting for my visa to be approved, I was so sick of having nothing to do and hated I didn't have chances to get dressed to get out of my house. Plus, having a responsible job really makes me feel I am such an independent working woman!!!!! The more you work, the more money you can get, right? That means I can shop MORE!!!!!
