#OOTD Roundup ❶

Hi LOVEs!!!!

It's new year! Time to do something new! If you follow my

Instagram

longer enough, you know that I've been sharing my daily outfits on there whenever I can (Not having a boyfriend or husband is such a huge headache when it comes to take daily outfit pictures!!) I thought that it would be nice to share them here with you guys, that way you can actually shop my looks because I always ask those questions "where did you buy this?" on Insta. I also created a new category named "OOTD" on top bar for an easy access for the past and future posts!

I hope you like this new segment! <3 <3

I wore this super casual look for a Japanese nabe (hotpot) party with my Japanese friends. It was already dark outside so snapped this look at a grocery store! Kind of surprised that it came out well and stylish, which ended up that

Nasty Gal

shared this look

on all their social media! Totally #MadyMyDay moment! :)

One of my fave brands to shop is definitely

TOPSHOP

, where I got this pink coat a few years back! It's old, but I will never consider to say good bye to this amazing and cozy one! Plus, the color is so eye-catchy! Winer whites are always on point, too!!

Hi LOVEs!!!!

So little time, so many posts to share! If you follow me on social media (

Instagram

,

Twitter

,

Facebook

& snapchat (@

fashionsitaika

), you probably remembere that I was super duper stoked to go to the UNIQLO launch party earlier this month.  As you know,

UNIQLO

is the most notable Japanese clothing apparel brand, and I am more than happy for them to finally make their way to Seattle!

We celebrated with a bunch of fun activities - traditional sake ceremony with a Seahawks football player, Jermaine Kearse, live music by

The Flavr Blue

, snacking on complementary refreshments, and more. Of course, we got to shop all night, and how everything is displayed totally reminds me of Japan. It is exactly the same! I splurged on a

big pom pom beanie

 &

2 way stole

, and I love what I brought home! I should have carried a pair of flats so that I could have saved some energy for more shopping! lol To be honest with you, I was kinda hoping for them to open in Seattle (without a car, it takes 1.5 hours to get there :( ), but now I have a reason to go to Bellevue! haha

One of the biggest moments of pleasure to cherish as a blogger is definitely seeing and meeting fellow bloggers whenever I attend an event. I was so pleased to finally get to meet Vicky and Rose after following each other for a long time! We all enjoyed the fun time together, having girl talk, and even sharing some blogging tips! Lots of laughter and delightful moments... <3 To me, this is more than just something I couldn't have imagined if I had stayed in Japan! Pursuing dreams in a foreign county isn't as easy as I pictured, but there is always a bright side! Making friends all over the world is absolutely an amazing thing!

 Thank you so much UNIQLO for having me, and welcome to Seattle! More party pictures on

their Facebook page

!

By the way, I will soon post a full feature of this gorgeous new

BALMAIN x H&M

dress, so stay tuned!

Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone! ♥

Hi LOVEs!!

I hope you had a very productive week and are so ready to kick off a fun weekend!

My week was super hectic, which is why I am writing this right now at 10pm! haha

I am so thrilled to share with you a comfy piece that I received from

UNIQLO

recently. To be honest with you, I really had no idea how I was going to style

this mint polo

when I received it because for me, polo shirts are something that I wear for the purpose of  playing sports! So I had to stand in front of the mirror for a while, wearing this polo to come up with some styling inspiration. Then, I came to the realization that I should go with a basic and casual look that could be worn as a day-to-day outfit! Styling it with a pair of denim pants seemed like the the right choice! Even though this is a casual look, I decided to wear platform sandals add a touch of sophistication and chicness to the look. Also, adding some height manages to balance it out (as always!!) You can definitely switch them out for to flats or sneakers!!

On top of the playful mint color,

this polo

is super lightweight and I love its fabric that features a breathable pique that dries out very quickly. On the day of shooting, it was really sunny. I was slowly sweating while searching for a location to shoot, but I was very comfortable in this polo shirt! As you may have noticed, I like to style it by turning up the collar. Some people don't like it, but I think it's a good way to not look frumpy! Even better looking with a big bun hairstyle if you have a long hair!

The price is super wallet-friendly, and

there are selections of 12 fun colors

including basic colors like white, gray and black! It's a perfect every day piece for the warming weather!

Sweet dreams! Oyasuminasai!
