_____________________________




When the Phillip Lim 3.1 for Target Collection was released, I was lucky enough to be able to pick up what mostly I wanted to get: the Boom Sweater and Satchel Mini Bag. With no doubts, I adore the collection very much and just fell in love with how cool and fun both items are! 

There are lots of trends you could follow this season, and Club Kids naturally has become one of my favorite styles! It's fun, fresh and bright. But most importantly you can go freaking crazy to style up yourself! That's what it is all about with today's look.
I received a BAD-ASS spiky cap (OMG! I've never seen such a crazy cap like this!) and gold bracelet set from the Charlotte Russe team in one of their care packages (YES!!! I've even got the third one just a few days ago!!!! Thank you CR <3 ) When I first looked at the cap, this look immediately popped up in my head... The look itself seems very simple, but the cap and the sweater definitely speak to it! I paired up with Forever 21 Faux Leather leggings, Urban Outfitters spike cuff earrings, and Jeffrey Campbell LITA SPIKE boots to upgrade the look even more. 

To finalize, I added a bit of dark-hued color to my lips! I don't know why the tincture of my hair looks really beautiful yet it blended amazingly with the makeup! I also really like how the whole fit creates the essence of 80's vibe!!! 

Do you adore Club Kids trend as much as I do?
Hopefully I will be able to share other Club Kids trended look down the road!

Happy Holidays LOVEs!!!

Hello lovely readers~!!!!! 
Can you believe it's been almost two months since the last post?! 
I am very sorry for not being able to update my blog till now. Life has been hella busy. As time goes on life seems tougher and more unforgiving, especially if you live in a different country. But I am keeping my spirits up and I really hope things will be improving as much as I anticipate! But that is a story for another time...
Hopefully you've been doing well, and now you can look forward to reading my posts more often!!! 

My life is all about fashion, and I've decided to follow my dream in America no matter what happens. So no more excuses! I will definitely push myself harder to keep updating my blog more often so that I can share my styles with other people all over the world!!!!!
WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Now that we are talking about fashion these photos were actually taken a few months ago, and I should clarify that  this really isn't for a spring look. Still, I really love this look and the photos came out just how I wanted them to, so even if they are a little out of season I really wanted to share them. More recently, Seattle's weather has been quite pleasant, and I am really happy about it. Of course, I took advantage of the bright weather to shoot some nice spring shots of my outfits so stay tunes!!


This look is one of my favorite all-black outfits, although I am more of a person who really adores colors no matter what season it is. I really love how the long cardi and the biker jacket actually rock well together. I had never tried to combine those two items so I was very surprised at how it turned out. Like I said, I love colors so I added a splash of color to this look. The Jeffrey Campbell Spike Litas did a great job for adding edgy taste to the look. To top if off, my Rolling Stones mesh cap is definitely the eye-catchy item of this look!

Hope you liked my all black look!

P.S. I chopped my hair so I don't have my lovely purple ombre hair anymore, yet I will soon change my hair color! I am super duper thrilled with my new hairrrrrr!
