NEW Fashion App. Shop Faster, Save Money

So thrilled to introduce a new awesome app that lets you shop smart, less and easy! 

Hi LOVEs! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I am so excited to announce the fun, exciting, and ultimate shopping tool for fashionistas today! It's called StyleSpotter. Have you guys already had it on your phone? If not, you better download it now!

I believe ALL girls love shopping. But what if you don't have time to go shopping in person? Your budget is currently tight so you can't spend that much money? You find a cute spring skirt at a store online, but wonder your favorite brands have a similar one...? Well, StyleSpotter is what you need in your shopping life then!

StyleSpotter is designed to take the pain out of fashion shopping online. Gone are the days of twelve open tabs, hunting for your size and color, and trying to find the lowest price.  It is also the "Pandora of shopping." You can find similar items to items you already like and will bring these items to you using an algorithm much like Pandora does, with little effort from you!

SHOP FASTER! 

With over 12,000 brands in one place, StyleSpotter makes it easy to put together collections. It's a lot like Pinterest but not just hoarding everything you like. On StyleSpotter you can pick the things you like and then actually find something you can buy.

Think about when you are looking for a simple black long sleeve crew neck at the mall. First you go to TOPSHOP, then maybe Forever 21, then Nordstrom, then Gap.... But you still haven't found one after 3 hours! You go home with no crew neck wondering why finding something so simple is so hard. With StyleSpotter you can use the highly intuitive and intelligent search query to find this item and voila! There's one at H&M, if only you had known yesterday! But StyleSpotter is even better - it will find you a crew neck available at over 12k brands. No need to search anymore, you can compare prices and styles side by side at one site.

SAVE MONEY!

 With its real-time price tracking platform, StyleSpotter identifies over 50,000 price drops across millions of fashion items every week. Better yet, if there's a coupon code available at any fashion store, you can bet StyleSpotter will have it because it partners with 8,000 stores to bring you the best deals every day!!!! How awesome is this? It's like 'Coupons for life!"

 

So what do you think about this app? I am already using it, and I have to admit that I am totally obsessed with it! It's available on the Apple Store designed for both iPhone & iPad. You can also access from your computer at www.StyleSpotter.com. Feel free to follow me there @AikasLoveCloset !!! Also, they are currently doing an Instagram give away which is for a Marc Jacobs bag! Don't miss this out!
Hopefully this information helps you, especially for those who loooooves shopping like myself!

HAPPY SHOPPING everyone! ♥

Hi LOVEs!!! I hope your week has been going awe-some so far!!! <3

Who loves '(faux) leather'??  ME! Who adores 'overalls'?? ME! So who's more than happy if they are all combined? Yes, me! lol

I am so pleased to now own one of the pieces I've been having my eyes on, which is a

faux leather overall dress

! I got it from a cool online store called

Petit Sesame

, where you can buy a wide selection of luxury yet affordable designer items.

This overall dress is simply so cute because I can be effortlessly chic once I put it on. These straps are adjustable so it can fit perfectly on any girl, even like myself as a petite gal. I appreciate it has pockets (Three!), so I could just wear it for running errands or getting a quick coffee with my phone and credit card or cash, while remaining little stylish :) 

I wanted to go for a completely winter preppy chic, so I styled it with a navy striped turtle neck and

over-the-knee boots

. These items are always perfect to achieve a preppy look during this season! Then, I put on a gray beret hat with hair tucked in the sweater to play up the vibe. Even though it was pretty warm on the day I wore this look, I needed an outerwear for a chill night. I chose my pastel biker jacket to brighten up the mostly all-black look and also match with my

new icy blue mini bag

! I just can't get over when my jacket and a bag are complementing their color with each other.

I can't wait for a warmer wether to style this overall dress showing off my skins more!

Petit Sesame

is now offering up to 80% off right now, so don't miss this perfect time to snag some of fab designers item including my

lovely faux overall dress

!

I hope you like/love how I styled it!

The

GIVEAWAY

is still going on! Don't forget to enter!    

Happy Thursday everyone!

I stopped by at the store yesterday and was totally fascinated by how many kinds of glasses and sunglasses they carry! I enjoyed the great service from the shop assistance and really love the idea that you can swatch the regular glasses into sunglasses by choosing your favorite lenses from the variety selections and vice versa! I picked up flattering frames from Mondo's collection and changed the clear lenses to pink transparent ones to make sunglasses!! I can't wait to get my customized fashionable frames! <3

SEE Eyewear Grand Opening Party!!!!

__________________________ 

Hi LOVEs!
About two weeks ago, I was so lucky to be invited to celebrate a launch party of a fabulous & stylish eyewear company called SEE Eyewear, voted "Best Eyewear" in several major publications. It officially opened in Downtown Seattle. I am a girl who finds a lot of excitement in collecting fashionable sunglasses and lovely glasses. Now that I can shop for amazingly cool, stylish, and innovative eyewear in person, this store open is quite exciting for me. I was always looking for a high-quality, fashion-forward, and one-of-a-kind eyewear store with decent price ranges in Seattle, and I finally found the BEST place for myself whose style is unique and versatile. 

With an innovative retailing concept and sleek store design, the SEE boutique offers a fresh outlook on eyewear. "we set out to develop a gouge free environment for people who appreciate trendy luxury eyewear without the ridiculously absurd price tag. By sourcing SEE's exclusive collection directly from the world's foremost designers, SEE is able to bring true value to the customer, thus SEE's slogan, "Hip withouht the Rip."
SEE has been featured in Vogue, InStyle, GQ, Marie Claire, Elle, WWD and countless others both nationally and internationally. 

I was totally blown away by the versatility of their products, and I couldn't stop trying them on. I kept finding awesome frames all over the shop. The store is very sleek with huge storefront window that lets a lot of light inside. The vintage pictures are beautifully decorated on the wall, and the sales reps are super lovely and inviting! Each frame is absolutely bad-ass and inspiring such that you can totally upgrade your style by simply putting them on.
Of all their wonderful collections at the store, my top collection was the Mondo frames. I've seen him on Project Runway, and I really admire his uniqueness. His collection is just WOW, and I wanna give him kudos for making a collection that totally reflects his characteristic style. The collection carries a lot of variety of designs from chic to rock. As a blogger who strives for  uniqueness and versatility of styles, there is no freaking way that I couldn't fall in love with his collection as well as this store. They rank as one of my top fashion stores in Seattle now!
The found/CEO, Richard Golden, is such an amazing and cheerful guy, and I was having a fun light conversation during the party. I took a few selfies with him and we both looked so stylish in SEE glasses! lol
If you haven't yet, please checked them out because I can guarantee that you will definitely enjoy the store as much as I do!

I really can't wait to go back again and shop their awesome pieces using my gift cards! You see, I won their Instagram contest for a free pair of frames yesterday!! Woo-hoo!!!!!

In the Sunday Pacific NW Magazine...

Hi LOVEly readers! 

I am deeply sorry for not being able to update my blog almost for a month... I've had to take care of many personal things. BUT! I am back now :) 

Today I have very exciting and memorable news to share with you. 

As you already saw the pictures above I am so honored to have the opportunity to be in one of the Seattle magazine. Sadly it's not about me ( but someday for sure!), it's about an interview of my boss at work regarding fashion, which carried on a few months ago. At the interview I modeled one of a young designer's gowns. 

I really wouldn't expect that the pictures the photographer took would be shown that big and not even on the cover and on a two-page spread.

As well as the magazine, if you go to Pacific NW Magazine Facebook Page those photos are selected as their profile and cover photos.
How couldn't I be more happier when I found that out?

I still can't believe that I am there. However I am super pleased all my effort I've made is paying of little by little. This great opportunity definitely gave me more confidence and strongly convinced me of this:

"if you don't give up, you can surely make everything happen, no matter how long it will take"

My dream is to be a..

☆JAPANESE PETITE FASHIONISTA IN THE US☆

I don't know how long it will take me to reach this point, but I would like to hope it won't take a long time and hopefully next time I am in any magazine, it features my fashion :) Until then I will keep doing my best !!!!!!!
