Hi LOVEs!!!! Happy Valentine's week!

My last post was about the BLUEs, but today's post is all about RED because lovely Valentine's day is right around the corner and RED is absolutely the symbolic color of it!! Last year I shared two Valentine's Day inspired outfits with you, and I wanted to do the same this year. If you missed the posts last year ( or just want to go back in time), you can check them out 

HERE

.

This first outfit features a lot of Valentine color: RED & WHITE. I think this outfit would be too literal for some of you, but I really adore this look. The outfit is full of Valentine sentiment, and I rock the colors really well! You can totally tell from the outfit that it's custom-fit for Valentine's Day, too! That said, it's totally wearable anytime, isn't it? Well to me... YES!!! The thing I like the most about this outfit is how I put on the bright red oversize coat over the red check dress. I have never done a red-on-red outfit before, and it turned to be a favorite ensemble. It's super bright and fashion-forward! 

Most people might have chosen a pair of plain or sheer tights to complete the look, but I went with polka dot tights to finish my look. I think it really adds a bit of a playful vibe to the look. Additionally, it really worked with the check dress! I accessorized with some white items to soften the look, while wearing some vintage gloves to add just a touch of class. Whenever I wear a beret, it always makes me feel more feminine, since berets can instantly add a hint of femininity to any look.

I don't have any plans for my V-day since I don't have a boyfriend. Do you have any special plan? It's kinda sad because I love Valentine's Day... Yet, I am going to buy a bunch of chocolate and watch a movie to celebrate the day! Or I will go out for a dinner if I am lucky enough to be someone's Valentine lol

I hope I was able to give you some inspiration for what you plan to wear on your V-day! Another post is coming up very soon so please stay tuned! It is gonna be totally different than today's look!

HAPPY SWEET VALENTINES DAY LOVELIES!!!!!!!

This set was shot a while ago, but I didn't have a chance to share. I was asked to model for a school project of my photographer friend Merissa. The main purpose was to create an editorial photoshoot with a concept emphasizing dark theme and lots of action. We went with dark make up with red lips and wearing heels to create a sense of being "tall and powerful". 
We shot a couple of outfits, and this is the first set of them. Although it was my first time working with her, I super-enjoyed her photographing me -- an amazing photographer, I have to say!

My styling for the first outfit is to achieve the combination of past, modern and future.  The checkerboard dress emphasizes the 60's vibe and is paired with knee high socks and platform heels to embrace the modern. I finalized this look with hair ponytailed on the top hanging down over my face which worked well as I focused on posing. As she pressed the shutter, I tried to embody a sense action and movement, bringing in some unnatural, awkward poses to give a surreal, modern tension.

I hope you enjoyed the first editorial photos and stay tuned for the others which are totally different  and just as exciting!


Have a nice day ;) ♥

I mentioned

on the previous post

that since it's the holiday season, I'd love to give you some inspiration for holiday ensembles while wearing

this amazing asymmetrical dress c/o

ShopRoxx

. And here is my second look!

Unlike the first look, the second look is very elegant, feminine and classic. Honestly, I can't decide which outfit I like more since both looks are totally different, but I am very pleased that I was able to really manage to elevate my femininity with this look. I tried to keep the sophistication from head to toe. I styled my hair with an up-do curling my bangs, threw on a polished check coat, and chose a pair of red ankle boots and red mini satchel to give the look a little bit of pop!!

 I could have simply worn the dress without layering up. But it's winter--I don't want to freeze!!! Well to be honest with you, depending on the look sometimes, I sacrifice comfort and dress with less layers.

I chose this really cute polka dot cardigan as a bundling-up item. I love how different the vibe comes out once the jacket is taken off. It instantly changes into a more playful look, doesn't it?

When it came to jewelry to finish the look, I picked

this statement bib necklace c/o

Kivi Meri

. They are a design boutique and offer hand-made jewelry combined with high quality natural and modern materials from Finland and all over the world with high technologies to create unique items. I am such a big lover of necklaces and I picked this snake print necklace because my favorite things are all in the necklace: animal prints and chains. You can effortlessly add this necklace to any outfit and it is great enough to upgrade your look with. Since the necklace is silver, I kept all other accessories within the same color hues, including this versatile killer belt from

Isabel Marant x H&M collection

. 

So which look is your favorite so far, casual or classic?

Have a great Sunday!!!
