Hi my LOVEly readers! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My last week was pretty busy but really satisfying with launch/reception parties, photoshooting, and some work! ( My Sundays are typically a work day! ) The weather over the weekends was really killer as well! I love doing a photoshoot on such A M A Z I N G sunny day! 

My current obession centers on GRUNGE and PLAID trends! What an cool and bold trend, isn't it? Purple is one of my favorite colors in addition to red, and I've had this flannel oversized shirt from Forever 21 for years. I am glad I've kept it around! I wanted to add an 90's touch, so I paired it up with a wide brimmed fedora and high-waist shorts. Layering triple necklaces plus over-accessorizing clearly adds a distinctive effect to the look, and I buttoned the shirt only partway to showcase the lacy bralet and add a seductive tone to the outfit as well. Finally, I had to add my ZOE boots to create a touch of wild!  They are amazingly fabulous and always give an extra playful touch to my look because of their eye-catchy designs!

This whole look is also about the makeup. I finally got this dark purple lip stick at MAC, which color is definitely a must-have this year to easily achieve a grunge look. I picked

MAC Satin Cyber

. I totally adore the color, even though I was sort of afraid whether the color would look good on me or not... However, any doubt was gone right after I applied it to tryout! I am so flattered to have the color now! This fall I really wanna try other colors as well! :) What color should I go for?

I hope you like/love my first grunge look and make up!!!!!

COAT, DENIM MINI SKIRT & KNITTED BEANIE: Japan  |  LEOPARD TOP & FRINGED BAG: F21  |  BELT: Thrifted  |  WATCH, GLOVES & SUNNIES: ALDO  |  SHOES: Sam Eledman ZOE  | NECKLACE: H&M  


Today's style is inspired by the ladies on the streets of Tokyo who never miss a chance to impress with their style. With that being said, I am also from Tokyo and today's look definitely represents where I come from. 


One of my personal favorite looks is something styled with a denim mini skirt. I've seen so many people are wearing jean shorts but have never seen them in a jean "skirt". I really wonder why.... I especially love layering some cute stockings with a denim skirt! Maybe it's just me, but I feel I always look more charming whenever I wear a mini, just like this outfit. Originally this denim skirt was a long length, which I really didn't like,  so I cut some inches off to shorten it and now I can rock it much better. A nice job, if I do say so myself! lol What do ya think?   

But this outfit isn't only about the skirt. I totally love the leopard top, too!  It's just super cute, isn't it?  It can go with anything! You can never get enough of  leopard prints, right?  Also, I am totally in love with these ZOE heels by Sam Edelman; they look amazing at any angle!!! I always get a lot of compliments every time I wear these babies <3 Plus, these fabulous  ZOEs somehow make my legs look sleeker and longer!!!!  You can buy yours here and here！

I added the pop of color with gloves and a bag to make the outfit more fun and appealing. You might  have already noticed that I frequently love playing around with textures, so this time I mixed the leather gloves (Similar ones here) and the fringed bag.  I also was quite happy with  how the gold accessories complemented so well with my look without drawing away attention!

If you have a mini that you haven't worn for a while, maybe it's time to show if off again with some colored tights or some printed leggings!
