Hi LOVEs!!!
It's finally Friday, and I couldn't be happier because the weather is looking like it will be so nice and sunny for the next three days! No more gloomy weather! (for a while at least! )
It's crazy how much the temperature is dropping down day by day. It's so hard to get out of my bed every morning because it is so snuggly. This chilly weather sometimes drives me nuts, and don't wanna think too much about what I am going to wear for that day. I figured that an easy solution is going for a casual look with a basic combo. But you still want to look chic and fab, of course! This is what I ended up wearing. A plain
,
,
, and
-- These are my current go-to basic pieces because they are amazingly versatile items that you could style with almost anything!
To my surprise, I didn't own a
until recently. And having it in my closet has seriously been saving my life. I can layer another cardigan underneath, for great chemistry with a cozy scarf, and I really like the oversized silhouette that balances out my short height, especially when I wear flats. Then styling it with a pair of
is totally trendy and on point!
If you are opting for a casual yet fashionable look, make sure to add something eye-catching like a statement necklace, killer sunnies, or pop of color. Imagine this look without these gorgeous
(yes, I double-layered! ), it would end up as a completely plain outfit. I also decided to elevate my look with my new
and my all-time favorite
. Not only are they a great finishing touch, but I also covered my too-tired-from-yesterday face. It's a double win!
Don't forget to use "AIKAS20" at
for gorgeous statement necklaces! Their necklaces are just so perfect right now for a party occasion or a holiday gift for any woman!
Hope you have a wonderful & fun weekend ahead, beauties!

Hi LOVEs! Happy Fri-YAY!
I've been in love with these
ever since they were my own, and my fondness for them has never decreased. Not even tiny a bit. Plus, these are first in the rotation when it comes to making white-out looks. You can check how I styled them for other white-on-white looks both
&
.
I decided to go for another whiteout ensemble because I got
this extremely comfy crisp white t-shirt
also from
Topshop
! I knotted the shirt to show off my belly because it was quite hot, and it made a huge difference to expose some skin and feel the air. Even though it was totally working with just these jeans and tee, I added a denim shirt and tied it around the waist for a more elevated look! I am definitely so pleased with the way the outfit ended up. My #RainbowHair even contrasts well with
, and it's fun to mix up a little color against the white palette while still clearly retaining the white-on-white look.
Speaking of my hairstyle, the 'topknot' is such a go-to hairdo at the moment, especially when I simply want to add a little something more! It's preppy and playful! And with
? My life is complete!!! I have to admit that today's look is absolutely one of my favorite summer looks!
Hope you are all having an amazing week so far and so ready to kick off a fun weekend!
Thank you so much for all the love and support!

Hi LOVEs! Happy Tuesday!
I can't believe that summer will soon come to the end, and we are welcoming a new season!
In a few more days, September will be here. Do you know what that means? New York Fashion Week and other cities' other crazy fashion weeks are starting everywhere! Unfortunately, this is another year that yet again I won't be able to attend, and it totally sucks to say "No, I am not going" when my blogger babes asked me if I will be there... :(
But I am so looking forward to seeing all the oh-so fashionable street style photos and my friends’ updates freshly from NYFW to get inspired and to enjoy it virtually. While I am in Seattle I always create some NYFW inspired looks because that's how I can at least feel the vibe! Plus, even if you are not going to Fashion Week, that shouldn't stop you from dressing up as if you were there, right? Therefore, today's look is all about what I would rocking during NYFW!
I finally grabbed
, and they are one of my staple pieces now! They are super easy to style with everything and a perfect item to elevate a look to very chic and sophisticated. I decided to go with a
because you can never go wrong with stripes as they instantly add a touch of refinement. The top is actually NOT designed as an off-the-shoulder look, but I styled it that way to add more a flattering effect! I wanted to play with some color to add boldness to this look, and topping it off with reds was totally the right decision!! Not just one color, it's double! I purposely matched my
with my red bucket bag! I really like how this same color matching combo completed the entire look!
Who's going to NYFW and how would you dress up ?
Have a sweet and productive day, lovelies! ♥

Hi LOVEs!!!!
I just couldn't be happier with the super beautiful sunny days Seattle has enjoyed lately. It definitely makes me feel that spring is around the corner and can't wait to soak up the sun <3
Since the last season, backpacks have become major trend accessories, and they continue to grow in popularity year by year. To be quite honest with you, I used to hate it. I thought it's kinda ugly to carry a backpack, but now a lot of brands like
,
, and
are even joining the trend, and I like the "backpacks are the new purse" thing! They're not just for high school girls anymore. I am in love! So glad to finally get hands on
! I love that backpacks can instantly add the back-to-school vibe and they are so practically fashionable! You can find any style from sleek and polished to casual and cool. The options are endless!
I definitely adore my
! I think that these city prints are what this backpack makes really fun and unique. Whenever I open my bag, I see the city names, and it makes me wanna go back to my city (Tokyo) and travel to those major fashion capitals so badly!! Such a tempting bag! lol
My look is totally inspired by all the cities printed in the backpack. You see a dose of the inspiration from each piece I am wearing, don't you? I like how the look gives a different image from the front and the back. I styled my new pussybow blouse with
, but kept it sophisticated by wearing a leather sleeved coat and black shades courtesy of

Have an amazing Tuesday, cuties!

Hi LOVEs! Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Today's look is all about layering and edginess, and this is definitely one of my favorite ensembles in all-black with a touch of color. People tend to wear dark colors during winter, and so do I. However, I love playing with some hues and making the look both edgy and fun. That way, I don't feel dull and sad. This is especially when you live in a gloomy and rainy city like I do!
I'd been on the look-out for a chunky v-neck pastel sweater for the longest time, and I finally found it on sale at
ZARA
a while ago. I normally wear a small size, but decided to go with one size up for an extra bulky silhouette. At the same time, I scored this
as well. It's impressive that I can rotate the slit to whatever position I want to! I can put it on the side, front, or back. I adore the combination of an oversized knit with a maxi skirt. Since I had scored the perfect pieces, I figured I should try it on right away, yet it's way too cold right now to wear the skirt by itself, so I paired it with leggings underneath. I love the contrast of their different textures. Whenever I wear a maxi skirt/dress, I always style it with a pair of platform shoes to add some extra height. I picked my all time favorite booties for the added slimming effect.
You can never go wrong with a
to create an edgy vibe. And if you have a printed black and white scarf, that's even better to emphasize the vibe. These items aldo help you beat the cold. To complete this edgy look, I opted for a
, and of course my awesome hair is doing such an awesome job!
The
is still running, so don't forget to enter!
Stay warm dolls! ♥
