true blue

An outfit post was a must on such a nice day! hello mister sunshine :D
though it is sunny, Vancouver has chilly winds so I had to get my beiber on....by wearing his signature sweater (oh BOY do I have many)


so here's me in all shades of true BLUE, who says mono-tone looks can't look smashing (do ppl still use that word)?
THIS is a super casual outfit since everything is au cotton!  and yet it works, why u ask? it's @ the funky hair-do and my fav. booties, oh ya, can't forget the bow too! *smiles*




























hoodie: TNA  / stripped shirt: AE / bubble skirt: H&M / boots: FRYE / bow: daiso / bag: balenciaga

cause I saw it first! maybe...probably...not really?

I was reading VIVI magazine the other day...a Japanese magazine, looks like this:





I love japanese magazines because they have the latest fashion trends and incredibly stylish clothing! many of my insperation comes from VIVI, and this outfit was....well...pretty much from the magazine..but hey, it was my first semi-do-it-yourself outfit!

here is what I saw on the magazine..and I remembered this boring checkered farmer shirt that was collecting dust in the back of my closet, and I thought, HEY WITH THAT, I COULD MAKE THIS (below)!





I took the shirt (which I bought from winners) and cut the hem and sewed it! so here it is! and it looks cute, and the short hem shirts are very "in" rite now, Try it !


Ta ~ Da~ !

scarf on a sunny day? only if it's IKAT!

OH mister SUN, SUN, mister Golden Sun, Please shine down on me <3 
finally some sunshine in beautiful British Columbia~!!  now let me put on my SCARF!!!! yup that's rite!
cause, I have BEEN DYING to WEAR my new IKAT SCARF from H&M! and I can finally bring some EXOTIC to my outfit without raising an eyebrow!

Tribal, folkloric and boho styles are starting to trickle into stores, and I snatched up the last ikat scarf at my local H&M store.

I gotta admit, I wasn't sure how I was going to rock this scarf, because truth be told, it has only been recently that I've dove deep into wearing colors. Hey, I know what your thinking, but I gotta good reason, I'm a make-up artist and black was my red, blue and yellow!

But after rummaging through my wardrobe I found hidden in the back of my closet old pieces of clothing that just went together with my ikat scarf. Don't you just LOVE IT when that happens? old pieces become brand new! so here is my new fav. outfit, def. for the summer, when it becomes hot, just throw on shorts instead but no matter how hot, THE IKAT STAYS!!!!

woke up late? that's okay, just wear more!!!!

I woke up late this morning, and was like! AHHH NO TIME TO LOOK PRETTY!!!the question for everyone is, how can you take that situation and still pull off a cute look that seems like you put some time into it?

THE KEY IS LAYERING!!I mean it may only work during the fall/winter time...but even though it is spring....it feels like fall. SO this trick will do for at least a good month! come to think of it, the whole concept of layering is great for seasonal transitions.......hm.....
K back to layering.. what I mean by that is...

for a professional look:  wear a sheer shirt then wear an opened up sheer blouse/dress shirt then wrap a silk scarf around your neck and top that off with a trench jacket or blazer. This is better than just wearing a dress shirt and pants. It actually will feel more comfortable since you will have a cotton shirt on first before you have your structured dress shirt. If you don't have a scarf then spice it up by wearing a shirt that is colorful. If you always wear neutrals, then one day just take a coral sheer shirt (maybe from club monaco) and then a white crisp dress shirt then a beige or grey blazer! and the real cherry on top would be to add a floral scarf! Can you envision this? TRY IT! I swear it will work!

for more of a casual look: similar idea as the above, but you can get WAY more creative!!! anything goes when you layer, BUT what will be real HOT this spring is stripes on floral, solid neons with neutrals and even socks with heels. Ya, this spring many opposites will be put together such as, fabric with leather on boots and shoes. Yes, so today I put together real quickly an outfit, that layers a tank top, with a sheer blouse and then a sweater, with sockies that go beyond my fabric/leather boots!


introducing my doggie, GUS!

thanks for stopping by! I'd love to hear ur thoughts! :)

oversized Tees on the sales rack! THAT is where it's AT!!

        Who doesn't like the sale rack/table at ur favori shop? actually it is a luv hate kinda thing, I know because for me at least I browse and on countless occasions I find myself luv'n sumthin, BUT it's a size or two or even THREE too big for me. *whimper* but I found this tee, that I couldn't let go and it dawned on me...uhh what are the trends these days? over-sized everything (tastefully! no frumpy business plz) and though this method (that I will show you now) won't apply for every style, it sure did in this case....and you ask why? 
take a look :


here we have a cute tee, that can easily match well with leggings or some skinnies




but did you know this tee is actually from:
and a size:


that's rite, I got an XL tee it in the sale rack for $10 at american eagle, who knew AE still had it!
but some key pointers to watch out for! you can't just get any ordinary not-ur-size-Tee! You can only get away with it IF it has a "V" neck, just cause then the attention goes there instead of the seaming on the shoulders that shows it ain't actually your size! (wear a cute bando if ur a bit busty, but if not the low cut "V" looks very euro-chic)
ALSO! try to find tees that have only design and no logos and minimal writing, best when it looks vintage and a bit rugged.


NOW FOR AN OUTFIT:










fedora: talula / top : AE and F21 sweater vest / jeggings: H&M / booties: one*way (japanese brand) / bag: balenciaga / bracelet: Jacob / sunnies: gucci
