Hi LOVEs! It's been almost a week since the last post... I deeply apologize for being MIA. I needed some rest after my car accident :P I was accidentally hit by a car at intersection on my way home. It was kind of a big one for the first time in a long time... I am glad I didn't get heavy injured and... most happily, I am back now! :) 

I believe that I've mentioned before that I am quite the sucker for hats. Of all hats, my most favorite kind is clearly... The FEDORA. I own more than 5 or 6 already, and my love of the fedora is unending. I want all kinds of colors! When I found this awesome fedora at H&M, I was overjoyed! Its color, silhouette, and fit are just about perfect, and it goes with any kind of style. If you want to add a touch of edginess, this hat is the exact piece you should select. It is edgy, yet maintains an air of coolness. That's why I can't live without it.

The difference with today's look is that I started with the hat, then arranged my outfit around it.  I wanted to go for a casual and clean look when styling this fedora. So I picked very comfortable items to achieve it. Since ART PRINTS will be one of the Spring/Summer trends, I wore this Aritzia super loose-fitting top with its big graphic art (check this look styling this top as well). I love mixing prints into a simple look, so I decided to pair these lovely ALDO pony hair boots. They are amazingly comfy but stunning, and you have no idea how many times people have given me compliments on them! The TOPSHOP peach coat definitely compliments the whole look. The combination of fedora and coat is my new favorite now, I think! Adding a pair of fake glasses is the right choice to finish the look, and a few playful elements can never go wrong!

Early this week, I received the most amazing email EVER... It's from one of the co-founders at Chictopia, and it said that I have been selected as a candidate for a VS PINK/Chictopia styling campaign featuring MLB baseball style looks. I nearly died, and had to read it over many times to sure it was real! lol One of my goals this year is to work with a major American company. I am not an official candidate yet, but the fact that I was chosen as one of them is certainly showing that I am on the right path and am one step closer to my goal. Please cross your fingers for me to be officially chosen! :)
Thank you very much for loving my fashion and for your continuous support to make my dreams come true!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! ♥

Hi LOVEs! Happy Friday <3

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.

If you were going to a Fashion Week, how would you dress up?
Hope you have a fun and lovely Friday!

 Hi LOVEs!!!!
Did you have wonderful, memorable and amazing Christmas holidays and get everything you wished for? I really hope you did :) Both my Christmas Eve and Day were as great as I expected. Although I didn't have my family or boyfriend to celebrate with me, I could spend some fun time with my besties, having an astonishingly yummy dinner at one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Seattle (OMG! We ate soooo much!), opening gifts that I didn't expect to receive, and watching a movie, 47 Ronin that I had been dying to check out!
I also loved what I dressed for both days!! If you wonder what my outfits looked like, you can check them out on my IG @aikaslovecloset!!!

Today's post is all about BLUE!!!!!! 

There is no doubt to say that BLUE is my top color this F/W. I just can't help it... Lately, I tend to go for blue clothes whenever I go shopping. So I was really happy when the Charlotte Russe team sent me this awesome Cobalt Blue Origami Skirt; I just about died! I really like the color-blocking part at the front. It is very comfy, and the fit is beyond perfect. On top of that, one of my current obsessions is something that has an asymmetrical shape, which is why I can't resist this skirt AT ALL!!!!
Since I wanted to make this skirt stand out, I paired with simple, inconspicuous colored items. I kept going for blue hues, mixing up with a blue snood and navy tote bag. To be honest with you, I got stuck on what outerwear I should combine with this outfit, then I ended up wearing a biker jacket...! Look how nicely it turned out!!!! It perfectly goes with the skirt and can even create an edgy vibe. 

One last thing to say... I am definitely digging the LOVE midi rings from Just Fab!
Aren't they just so cute???


Happy Friday Cuties ♥
