Hi LOVEs!!!!
I am deeply sorry for not being able to update the blog for 2 weeks!! I finally finished up everything associated with my move, and you know what? I loooooove my new place!!!! I can't wait to explore the new things around my new house! I found out that it gets me even closer to Alki Beach, which is one of my favorite places in Seattle! In summer, it's amazing to come home at the end of your day and spend your evening along the shore, felling touched by the speechless sunset with the smell of the sea! Such a great way to end of you day!

I hope you remember that I teamed up with an amazing apparel brand, MISSGUIDED to showcase a few items and to create both day and night looks with these items. Now it's time to share the night look with you guys! If you haven't seen the first day look, you can check it from HERE :)
When I was choosing this mint dress for this project, I was sort of concerned. I figure it would be no problem to style this dress to achieve a dress- down ensemble. Yet, I couldn't come up with how I was going to wear it for a classy night out because of the mint color. However, such anxiety immediately disappeared when it arrived and I tried it on. It was very easy for me to pull off a successful night look because the dress itself is just gorgeous!!!! This isn't the only mint dress; there are several different mint dresses on MISSGUIDED! I chose this one because I am obsessed with anything that comes with mesh details, since they are enjoying their moment in the spotlight right now!

What I did to create the night look wearing this pastel color midi dress was I slightly curled my hair, paired with pink gold metallic platforms also from MISSGUIDED, added a red lipstick, and accessorized with some key pieces of jewelry to elevate the seductive touch. Then, I finished the look by adding the pastel clutch bag! See? it was easy, right? These platforms definitely have become my go-to shoes for both day and night. Thanks to the platform soles, I can be comfortably tall! Yes, that is very important to me! No interesting details on the shoes, yet the metallic color never falls to be out of fashion! I was really blown away by how much MISSGUIDED carry killer platforms (of course other shoes, too!) under $100 with vast amount of varieties!


As a personal note, I totally enjoyed photoshooting this look at UW. I really appreciate the great job that James did to make this whole set so much fun! There are tons of breathtaking buildings and sceneries at UW. Even the single light stand can be the perfect backdrop to compliment the whole look! I can't wait to go back and find other fun places to shoot at!

I hope you love the pictures as well as how I styled the dress for the night look!

       Happy Friday sweeties ♥

Hi LOVEs!!! 

Today I am featuring a look with a little different feeling than usual. Perhaps you may recall and ensemble I posted a while ago, wearing this same black asymmetrical dress courtesy of Charlotte Russe. (Unfortunately it's no longer available because their inventory goes so fast!) And I mentioned in the post that I decided to use this dress in two separate looks: one for day and one for night!

Here comes the night look!!!

Unlike the daytime office-inspired look, this asymmetrical dress has been transformed into the perfect night look. It's great to own a dress that is so versatile for different occasions. What I did to create the night look was very simple: I took the jacket and the necklace off because the dress has such beautiful details around the neckline, both front and back. I switched from white heels to a pair of black strap heels to achieve a slimming effect. I also added a wide rhinestone bracelet and a flower hair clip so that I could give it a summer touch. A tropical printed clutch compliments the night look playfully, and I appreciate the pop of emerald green!

I am so grateful that my photographer suggested waiting for a few hours in order for us to capture the sunset and use it as an amazing backdrop. As you can see... It was totally worth it! I'd never done a shoot at sunset, and I was really happy with how the pictures turned out. I seriously love how the shades of stunning twilight make the pictures so perfect and romantic. By the way, I think I am quite confident that I can now manage to model even in freezing weather because these were taken back in the middle of April! lol I am so glad that actual summer is approaching -- no more freezing during the photoshoot! :)

I hope you enjoy the night look! Which looks do you prefer, day or night?
A few more days till the weekend! Hang in there babes!
