Only 3 Days Left! ALEXANDER WANG x H&M

Hi LOVEs!

Now that fun and spooky Halloween is over. Was it crazy? I hope so! BUT in the fashion world, the excitement is still continued and even gets higher just because a long-awaited collection will be launched in only 3 days!!!!!
Who's more thrilled about ALEXANDER WANG x H&M collection than I am!?
Personally, around this time is by far one of the most exciting moments of the year!!!!! First, November 4th, which is tomorrow, is my birthday. Second, fall is my most favorite season. Third, my top favorite brand, H&M collaborates with an worldwide noted amazing brand for a new collection and it launches a few days after my birthday! Ever since the collection has been announced, fashion folks of course including me have been dying to catch a glimpse of the designs and itching to get their hands on the extraordinary pieces for their fall wardrobes. The collection is just so impressive with the sporty-inspired patterns, and I can't get over the epic, too-cool collection. Now, H&M has released all the items with pricing and details, and here are my picks and they definitely go to my shopping list this Thursday! (Click the image to jump to the H&M site for the details!) 

I am not planning to get my hands on all of the above, but absolutely some of them. The boots and the crop sweater for sure!!!!!!

I'd like to share some tips on how to shop the collection this Thursday in Seattle store, based on my experience last year for Isabel Marant collection.

Where to Shop It: 

H&M Downtwon Store

520 Pike Street, Seattle WA 98101
< Or store locater here >

When to Go:

When it comes to the exclusive collaborative collection, stores will open their doors at 8 am. H&M will be doing their bracelet system again, where the first 420 shoppers in line at the store will be provided a colored bracelet denoting what time they'll be able to shop. BUT don't get there like 15 mins before the doors open. Guess what time I arrived last year? THREE AM IN THE MORNING!!!! and I was the 10th one on the first batch, however, I wasn't able to grab what I really wanted, so I highly recommend to arrive the store before three if you don't wanna miss anything!

Groups of 30 will be given only 15 mins to shop, so do some homework for what you really want to get!

Other Info 

You are limited to buy the same products up to 2, and you have SEVEN DAYS from your purchase date to return for a full refund with your original receipt, none of the accessories is returnable.

It will be a long waiting and freezing, so get cozy with an blanket and bring an extra scarf or sheet to spread under the butt while waiting, and don't catch a cold lol. Go with someone who has a car or live close by. That way you can keep unnecessary things (blankets, books, etc...) in there, and you are ready for the shopping survival!

Hopefully, these tips are helpful to you and I can't wait to show you what I get from the collection!!!

Happy shopping ♥

NARS Audacious Lipstick Collection ♥

Hi LOVEs!
Today's article is all about BEAUTY and MAKEUP!!!!! Makeup has been around since the time of Egyptian queens like Cleopatra, and women have been using it to enhance their natural beauty since forever! Why? Well, I believe that makeup helps with confidence, self-image, and has the capability to shape the emotional reaction of others. Just think about the impact that a bright red lipstick can have! My fashion is never complete without makeup. Ever.

A few weeks ago, my MUA friend, Melissa (who is also a Makeup Stylist at NARS at Barney's NY) invited me to the launch of NARS new collection - The Audacious Lipstick Collection.  In celebration of its 20th anniversary, they have released 40 new shades of lipstick colors, along with other cosmetics -- including beautifully colored nail polishes. The shades from nudes, reds, pinks, orange, plums, and vampy shades. Each shade is named for an iconic woman in song, film or fashion and is encased in a sleek matte-black tube with a magnetic click. 

Of all 40 colors, a selection of 10 shades - Vanessa, Julie, Dominique, Marisa, Vivien, Silvia, Kelly, Carmen, Sandra, and Ingrid - are exclusive to NARS Boutiques, narscosmetics.com and Barney's New York, but all 40 of them are permanent. They were launched a few weeks earlier at Barney's, so I went to the one in downtown to check them out, and I had Melissa do my makeup (That was the most fun part!) Now the collection is available at Sephora and other department stores!

Some of the colors in his display are NOT the exclusive colors :( 

Should have tiried these nail polishes, too!

Makeup is DONE! 

To kick off the new season, I decided to for with the exclusive color Sandra for myself because I am really into darker shades this fall, and I already have a vampy purple in my lipstick collection. Sandra is the perfect dark red lipstick that will be my go-to color for sure. This is actually my first time to own NARS lipstick, and I already fell in love with it. It's just amazingly flattering and comfortable. I will probably go check again to get another color! Hummmm which color should I choose next? 

Have you guys checked their collection yet? Which color is your favorite?

On a personal note, my parents and my grandfather are coming to visit me and will land later  today. They are staying here till the 9th, so I apologize in advance if I will be gone for a week! I will try to post as many times as I can! But I couldn't be happier right now to finally see them for the first time in years!

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.
