Ever since I came to America, I have longed for a Japanese brand to make its appearance in the U.S. In the fullness of time and right before I flew to NY, one of the famous Japanese brands, MOUSSY, launched their first store in SOHO.

Hi LOVEs!!!! Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a fun, awesome and safe Halloween! This year, I got to dress up two days in a row and celebrated it with my friends, and I really loved my costumes, which was a zombie gypsy princess and a mermaid hair cute bunny ( you can check both on my
;) ) I really like being so creative in terms of hair and make-up, and I took advantage of my lovely mermaid hair color to create pink and purple color-mixed bunny ears!!
Now that it's November, I can' be more thrilled because my birthday is coming up in freaking TWO DAYS! I have no plan at this moment, though! haha What should I do? Also, I can't believe this year is O N L Y two more month left!
As the season shifts, I always love getting inspired by looking through all the seasonal trends, and one of the most appealing trends I wanted to try and sport is "
Nouveau Victorian
." Then, I came across this
as I was hunting for a fall dress. Not only is the price super duper wall-friendly, I just also can't get over everything about
-- high-collar, ruffled, floral prints, and button details on the neck. Especially these ruffles are what make the dress so adorable. The length, of course, was not very flattering on me because of my height, so I had to adjust it with the wide belt. I styled it with a pair of red sandals since it was pretty warm when I shot this look, and I am glad I did! It shows that you can still wear sandals during fall while the look is totally fall appropriate. I finished off by wearing my favorite
and
to emphasize the Victorian vibe. Light-curled side ponytail definitely gives some feminine flare along with the jeweled earrings!
I can't wait to rock this dress, re-styling with more layering, autumn colored pieces, and fall boots! I actually made an outfit using
as a top, so stay turned for the look!
Have a great & productive Monday, my dolls!

Hi LOVEs! How was your weekend?
I
with this
and I promised that I would post another look demonstrating how you can transition a summer staple piece into a fall-appropriate look. So here you go!
As you can see, the leaves are turing into brilliant reds and oranges, the wind is getting chilly, and everywhere you look there is "pumpkin spice." The change of the season means also a time for reorganizing the wardrobe. I love how my mind also feels cleared out after getting rid of unused items, while welcoming new seasonal clothes to my closet. In my closet clean-up, there are A L W A Y S pieces that I can't get rid of even if I am sure that I won't be wearing them as often. This salmon pink oversized blazer is actually one of them.
I am so pleased that I've kept it for a long time because it actually goes so well with the romper. The blazer also makes the romper wearable during the fall season. I don't know if the color is trendy enough, yet it gives a nice touch of playfulness into the look.
In addition to this blazer, these
are also a few years old. I don't think I can say BYE to them until I find a better pair. You know, leopard prints are always a great choice to add a little pop to any outfit!
Do you have anything that you have kept in your closet for a long time, but you find it's actually still working after all the years?
Sending a wish for a great start to the new week!!

Love Affair With Faux Fur Jacket
I just can't stop falling in love with my faux fur jacket. Love getting snuggled in her.

I wore this look when we had a brunch together by Alki Beach, one of my favorite spots in Seattle. Unfortunately we didn't have a good luck on the weather. It was super gloomy and drizzling. Yup, welcome to Seattle! :p I kinda wanted to go for laid back style, so I decided to pick anything with loose fit. Pairing a sheer blouse and boyfriend jeans is my new favorite combo now! I styled it with my old khaki boots as my rain boots lol You can laugh at me because I am the type of girl who wears booties even when it rains.
I topped it off in my No.1 beloved faux fur jacket that I scored from Zara this season. I LOVE THIS JACKET to death. Don't think I am saying too much. It's an amazingly perfect jacket! Seriously can't get enough of everything about it. Pink pastel color, awesome fitting, its textures, and how warm it can keep me! My love affair with this number is growing every time I wear it. Even though spring is approaching and the sun is out more often, sadly it's still chilly and I have to bundle up. Whenever I am so lazy to style my hair, I always go for a fedora. It definitely helps me look effortlessly so chic. I wanna make a fashion proverb: "When doubt, go for a fedora. You won't regret it at all." Do you agree?
By the way, Diana is a Creative Director for IFBKSeoul, and I had a chance to be featured on there. You can read my interview HERE if interested.
Hope you all have a beautiful day!

This is another set of photoshooting I did with Enrique, a Cali photographer, back in August. In the previous post, I shared with you the first one wearing my favorite leopard slip dress from Forever 21. I hope you enjoyed it! I was very fascinated with how versatile this dress actually is, and I am so excited to show you the completely different way of its styling today!
First of all, I really love this night time setting that can totally go with the vibe this look creates. Edginess, secret, dark side, and wildness. I believe there is more than that. I always love photoshooting at night especially when I am wearing something more of edgy and grunge just because it emphasizes the look. I am very pleased we ended up shooting this look when the sun went down.
I'd been looking for a perfect leopard top for years and didn't realize until now that I didn't need to own an actual top if there is an alternative piece. Save less, style more! To my surprise, the slip dress is successfully turned into a leopard flawless top, and it doesn't look awkward at all. Even though this ensemble seems very appropriate for summer, it still be wearable for fall when you switch to a chunky knit cardigan and a pair of fall boots, or even adding other fall items such as a scarf.
But this time, I styled it up with staple leather pieces which are always sublime to instantly create an edgier look and with my favorite fall essential, a felt fedora.
Can I talk about a bit of that? If you love a fedora as much as I do, I recommend the way I styled my hair. It's super easy yet tasteful. First, slightly curl your hair including your side bang. Second, make a lower pony tail covering the hair tie with a smattering of the hair around it. Finally, put your favorite fedora on and adjust the pony tail if needed. Very easy, isn't it?
I hope you enjoy all three looks I created with this lovely yet versatile leopard slip dress, and tell me which one you like the most on the comment below!
Enjoy your weekend, beauties! ♥

Hi LOVEs!
Since it's summer, I want to play with vivid colors and try to avoid dark colors as much as I can! I am very comfortable in this dress thanks to the loose fit, and the lacy thin straps give it an extra feminine touch! This dress does everything! Unfortunately, the length wasn't quite right, even though I bought the smallest size. As a petite girl, I really need to consider the length of the hem to provide the balance for the whole look. Otherwise, it could throw off the impact of the other parts of my outfit and become unremarkable.
Whenever I encounter this issue,of a lengthy hem, I always use a belt for a bit of a magic! I chose an
Isabel Marant x H&M
leather and metal chain belt, which would go very nicely with the silver pendant. Also, I like the combination of sweetness and metal accent.
This is my first time styling a fedora like this, and I LOVE it! This is a great way to style up a fedora during the summer time. Putting your hair up keeps the back of your neck cool from the summer heat. Also, can I talk about these killer
? I'd been looking for summer boots over the years, and had had no luck to find them... But finally! I found comfortable yet funky ones also on
! I even scored them with 75% off!! :) Yeah, there was no reason not to get them!
I combined a leopard print scarf and a biker jacket for the night-time ensemble to keep myself warm!! Yup... Seattle is still getting chilly at the night time! :(
Did you like how I styled the slip dress? Hope you did!
Happy hump day everyone!

I wore this outfit when I went to SEE Eyewear launch party a while ago... I definitely love the combo of lace on lace. I was pleased with outcome and that the whole outfit looks like one complete dress with two different patterns combined on top and bottom. Because of one-color hue, it helps one look taller by creating an "I" figure. Thanks to the lace patterns, the skin is peeking through the clothes -- emphasizing sex appeal. I think it's safe to say that all black could be worn in Spring if skin is still showing. The lace skirt is adjustable, so I made it a midi-skirt instead of a maxi-skirt so that I could wear black socks to go with. Wearing ankle socks in any shoes is such a great idea, especially during the season when you can't wear boots because it's too hot, and you can't wear pumps or sandals either because it's too chilly. Since this outfit was for an eyewear brand launch party, I mixed a pair of black flamed fake glasses for a little playful accent and then accessorized with silver jewelry.
Now that the season is switching to spring, and it's time to let the dark clothes sit back in the closet and bring out the bright colors to play. I love black biker jackets, but I needed to update my wardrobe with some new dazzling pieces. Then, I picked up this insanely awesome pastel biker jacket from ZARA. Seriously it keep blowing me away every time I wear it. Everything is just on point! Beautiful pastel blue, its design is a bit of boxy structure that helps to stay on my narrow shoulders when wearing it over-the-shoulder. Just wearing this jacket alone is super trendy! I am even obsessed with its back silhouette. Because the jacket is pastel blue, I paired a watch with a blue bungle to match and make it pop out of the all-black ensemble.
Wishing you a very wonderful week, sweeties! ♥

I am very sorry for the lack of posts lately. I have a lot of outfits to share, but I've been working on a new project over the last week, which I am going to announce very soon! Please stay tuned to hear what it is all about! It promises to be exciting!!! :)
This outfit is also inspired by the sporty trend, like the one in my previous post. I am a total sucker for that trend! But in contrast with the previous look, today's look is edgier and has more of a street-style vibe. I had been looking for a nice pair of faux leather sweat pants/joggers, and this pair from Dress To Kill Miami is just right on. They are just like regular sweat pants, yet way more fashion-forward. They are loose-fitting from waist to bottom, so I can literally wear them all day long. I can even go to sleep in them. Also they could be worn from day to night because of the faux leather material. I paired them with a Forever 21 cropped sweater to offer a peek of my tummy for a touch of sex appeal. I elevated the sporty-ness by wearing a Aritzia baseball cap and bomber jacket, which are essentials to easily achieve the style.
Joggers and strap heeled sandals are the perfect combo! I actually didn't have a black pair. To my surprise, these strap heels are also from Dress To Kill Miami and are so fab and comfy! They are only slightly platform, so it prevents my feet from getting tired so easily. I am pretty sure I am going to wear them a lot over the spring and summer!
I finished the look with silver accessories ( I love double necklaces!) and a pop of red lips! Oh and don't forget my new awesome white clutch from ZARA!
I hope you like how I styled for the sporty group!
Again, don't miss the exciting announcement I will make this week :)
Wising you all a good start of the week!
Thank you for reading!!!!

If you are a lover of fashion, you don't wanna miss the BIG fashion events that are going on right now.
YES! Fashion Week Winter/Fall 2014!
New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week have just finished, and we are now switching to Milan Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. It sucks that I am here in Seattle when I want to be there in the middle of the fashion! Still, one of my favorite things to do during this time is to go through the heaps of street fashionistas' photos!!! They are insanely fashionable and give me tremendous inspiration. I literally spent a few hours looking through them in a single day recently. I just couldn't stop! All the outfits are incredibly fashion-forward and are beyond on point! You can check on them via my Pinterest if you'd like!
As a fashion blogger who aims to be active worldwide, it is one of my biggest dreams to become one of them. On top of that, if the street photographers captured me in one of my outfits during my visit, omg... it would mean the world to me! I know I can't make the dream come true right away, but I will realize my dream one day for sure. Who said that I can't DREAM BIG??
Although I am not physically able to attend the Fashion Weeks, it doesn't meant that I can't dress up as if I am there, does it?
Today's outfit would be one of the ensembles I would wear at a Fashion Week. It is fully inspired by the french style... And I tried to create an inspired look by putting my favorite pieces all together. A turtleneck top is definitely a winter essential, and I paired it with an A-line camel leather skirt and a wide belt. I can't stay away from knee-high boots. They are not only cute but are also super practical to protect you from the winter cold. And I've worn these brown ones from my mom countless times! I accessorized with gold and black jewelry for a high-end touch. Thanks to the military cap, it elevates the french vibe even more. Anything in plaid is so trendy and this TOPSHOP plaid long coat is way too fabulous piece to resist... It wowed me when I saw it online, and my sweet best friend gifted it to me as a Christmas present! :) It IS a bit big on me, but I don't care. It's such a great piece to bundle up and is definitely stylish and a head-turner.
Hope you have a fun and lovely Friday!

Hi LOVEs!
If you live in a comparatively cold area, what kind of outfit could you choose that keeps you warm and snug while still being stylist? One of the outfit options could be to throw on a turtleneck. Don't you agree?
You see, turtlenecks definitely offer plenty of great styling opportunities -- they work when simply layering, they can be your featured statement piece, they can be paired with some head-tuner accessories, etc.... Now that's a flexible yet stylish piece of clothing!
I personally was not a big fan of the turtleneck, but I noted that they are currently one of the big hits this season. So I decided to try one out and incorporate it into an outfit. Guess what? I have been converted! Especially when the turtleneck is as fabulous as this oversized stripe knit is! I like the grey and blue combo, which is a pretty rare combination to me! This knit is actually REALLY oversized for me, so I tied it up around my waist with a beaded belt to make it a bit more fitting. Since I wanted to go for a playful yet intellectual look, I styled it up with a pair of fake glasses (my favorite one, btw!) and a bun. I couldn't resist adding a sense of edginess by wearing
these killer studded boots from
! This knit itself is quite warm. However, I finished the look with a patterned scarf so that I could be extra cozy :)
How will you be wearing turtlenecks this season?
I hope you like my turtleneck ensemble and stay tuned for other looks featuring turtlenecks!
Enjoy your day

Hi LOVEs! Happy Monday :))) Did you all have a wonderful weekend??
Last Friday I went to my friend's farewell party. It was such a blast <3 Not only did I met tons of new people, we partied and had an amazing time until freaking 7am!!!! She is from Taiwan. We don't get to hang out all the time, but we both know we are good friends. She has been supporting my fashion and dreams for a while and whenever she sees me, she always gives me lots of compliments on my outfit! We always end up talking about old fond memories, and how we've both grown up since then...
You know, I love living in America because I know my life belongs here. I feel like the dreams I have only make since in America. Nonetheless, one of the hardest moments is saying good bye to my beloved friends that leave/will leave the states. I never get used to that. Anyway, I was so pleased to see her for the first time in a long time. Especially right before she is moving back. I wish her all the best because she also has her dreams in Japan!!!! :)
I believe that you are very familiar with this fabulously amazing jumper!! It's one of the popular collection pieces from Isabel Marant x H&M last year. Ever since I've brought this one, I've never stopped loving it!! haha
Don't shy away from the pastel colors this season!! Pastel pink is my current obsession! With it, I added just right amount of the sweetness to my bag, and a different pink to my lippie.
I really like this look because it combines both casual and chic feeling in it!
Hope your new week is going well!
As always thanks for stopping by! ♥
