Hi LOVEs!

Ever since this season of NYFW has kicked off, I have been so thrilled as I look at the street snaps, and I can't get enough of how amazing they rock it in their killer jackets, layer techniques, colorful hues, and more!  Obviously my

Pinterest board

is exploding because I've got tons of inspiration just by seeing them. The sad fact, though, is that it makes me really wish I could witness them in person!

Of all those fashionistas on the NY streets, I loooove how Aimee of

Song of Style

was super flattering in

her mens inspired look

. She killed it! Wearing something inspired by menswear could definitely be one of my Fashion Week attire options. So that's what it is all about in today's look because I wanna be there, even if only in spirit! Wink-wink!

I've longed to style this type of look for a long long time, and I finally made it happen! You have no idea how much I love this look! I tried to keep it simple yet bold at the same time by pairing a turtleneck with tailored wide leg pants. I actually got this blazer a couples of years ago in the menswear section at American Eagle, and it's kinda funny that it fits me perfectly. After all, I am super petite! Topping it off with a fedora is definitely a must when you wanna go for a masculine look, and since I have a long hair, I styled it in low ponytail with straightened hair. I still wanted a smattering of lady-like flair, so I finished the look off with red lips, jeweled earrings, and

gold bangle necklace

. I love putting on black sunglasses to gives the ensemble a 'gangster' look! haha

Would you wear a menswear inspired look like Aimee and I?

Happy Thursday darling!

Menswear Monday: BONOBOS New Spring/Summer Collection!

Happy Monday LOVEs! 

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?

Today's post is all about mens spring/summer suits! Obviously, I don't wear a mens suit, but I am always so into mens-inspired looks. A tom boy/mannish style, matching trouser suits, oversize blazer, and MORE!!!! I bet you've seen me quite often in those styles, right? Also my total weakness for guys is whoever is rocking a stylish suit! Omg...Whenever I see a guy walking on a street and he dresses so nice in a suit, my eyes are changed to <3  right away just like a manga, then I can't help but look at him more than a few times! To be honest with you, one of the list items for my type is "someone who looks sexy in a suit!" lol Every time I go shopping in downtown, I definitely go checking the mens floor 'JUST' to see men sales reps because they are so freaking hot and sexy and seriously make me wish that they were my boyfriend :p

A few weeks ago, one of my friends asked me where he could get a great suit in order to update his wardrobe. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to answer right away. However, now I know I can answer his question in no time because I found an amazing suit store that you will love as well, called BONOBOS! I hope you have heard of this awesome mens brand. Their suits are definitely something I would love (or force? lol) my boyfriend to wear, and I love the vast amount of super stylish suit selections! I am so sure that guys can look hotter or cooler once they put on BONOBOS suits! Not only do they carry the fashionable suits, also available are awesome Pants, Denim, Shirts, Shorts, and of course MORE! I think this is such a great time to switch up your closet since you don't wanna wear a bulky, dark, and poor-in-air-permeability suit in the hot weather, do you?

BONOBOS is......

A clothing brand focused on delivering great fit, high energy, and superb customer experience. Launched in 2007 on the Internet with its signature line of better-fitting men’s pants, Bonobos is now the largest apparel brand ever built on the web in the United States. In 2011 Bonobos extended offline, launching Bonobos Guideshops, e-commerce showrooms that deliver personalized, one-to-one service to those wanting to experience the brand in-person. In 2012, Bonobos expanded its distribution partnering with Nordstrom, bringing Bonobos apparel into select doors nationwide and to Nordstrom.com. Across channels, Bonobos is focused on delivering a well-targeted brand promise: world-class fit, an innovative shopping experience and an energetic brand spirit. Bonobos was named "One of America’s Hottest Brands" by Advertising Age, "Best Men’s Pants" by New York Magazine, one of Inc.
