    In Japan, there are these festivals called "OMATSURI" a summer festival. Many girls wear Yukata's to this event.  a yukata is sorta like a kimono but for the summer. I recently bought one and I will be wearing it in the upcoming local festivals....I will post the whole outfit soon, but for a sneak peak...

after the tears and laughter!

    Over the weekend the bridesmaid's and I put together a party for the bride-to-be. Its been a while since any of us actually put some time into organizing a party or even going out for that matter. So not only was this my bestfriend's special day but it was more than just another night out on the town!!Other than our horrible service at the reso, everything fell into place and the bride-to-be had a fabulous time....

    To prep for this party lotsa creativity and DIY was involved, and thought I'd share it cause it turned out absolutely amazing!!!





    First for the table settings, we thought to give it an extra touch with some decor, and I got thinking of some thrifty ways to make a simple yet elegant table setting and here it is:



    I started with some faux flowers  ($1 for 6 stems at Walmart)


    Then took some Krylon gold spray paint and sprayed the flowers (from Walmart as well)


    To match the napkins! (napkins from Zellers)


    popped the flowers off the stem, stuck a plastic pearl bead in the middle and put some gold nail polish on the rims of the petals and VOLA!
    (this is just a mock)


    I also got the idea to make a head piece for my outfit that night!


    Now for the fun stuff. The outfits for the night!
    some photos with my besties <3



     dresses starting from left to right :  RW&Co. and both from BCBG. 
    (I wish I got better pic of my hair that night!! but I will do it again and post soon!)

    I love dressing up!!!!
    this night my look was inspired by Blair from Gossip Girl.....
    this is the BCBG dress I got that I felt was very Blair-esque, do you agree?

Devil wears PRADA.............IN PINK!

    I got my inspiration from the movie "devil wears Prada".
     I swear after that movie, when the word Prada was mentioned you'd think of a sexy but devilish image (well the poster) and so I'm gonna defy that by an opposite image with softer colors and small detailing to make you look more angelic? K, that definitely was not the word to explain it, k maybe cute would be a better choice of words.
    ANYWHO since PINK in all shades are classic spring colors, that steered my look into this direction.


    love at first sight, my Prada


    the color is a bit washed out, it is actually more of a creamy pink, hence the picture in the corner!

    DETAIL in an outfit is what makes an outfit truly ORIGINAL

    numero one: the PINK BOW in my hair! (F21 Japan)


    numero two: my CUPCAKE necklace! (Betsy Johnson)


    Accessories you can go crazy with and get away with it!
    From the small details, a.k.a bow hair clip, cupcake necklace and floral tank the outfit isn't just a CUTE outfit but  cute-CHIC and with the Prada shoes, cute-chic-ELEGANT<3

    cardi: silence and noise from Urban Outfitters / tank: talula 

    numero three: LIP COLOR

    Hey  make-up is an accessory too! so with this outfit here's some PINKs that goes! light for day and brighter for night!
    I have super small, thin and pale lips so it is hard for me to pull off bright colors, even when I have simple eye make-up, hence my brightest pink ain't really that bright. Also I know there are many many MANY pinks out there so I say go explore, but heres what looks good on me!!(I put two sets of lighting)

    Indoor lighting:


    Outdoor lighting:


     and here are the lipstick/gloss brands:

    bright ----- light

    Lacome color fever #312 lipstick with Candy doll gloss(japan)
    Lavshuca lipstick(japan) with Shu Uemura PK 33S gloss
    Dior Addict High Shine #260 with Bourjois Max. 3D shine #62 gloss
    YSL Rouge Volupte  #2 lipstick with Chantecaille Mirth gloss

    When I wear lipstick, I hafta finish off with a lip gloss, its like the cherry on top, it just doesn't look the same without it!

    TIP: if you want the TRUE color of the lipstick, get some concealer to take down your original lip color! I use a "lip concealer" but regular foundation or concealer will do!


    I would love to hear what kinda detailing you do to your outfit!!!

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!




     floral tank: talula / sheer blouse: H & M / school girl cardi: Japan / shorts: ZARA / eternity scarf: Japan/ belt and sox: H & M / booties: Aldo / bag: balenciaga


    since you can't see my layering in my outfit, here is a close up! and I had to take a pic of the pattern of my shorts! SO CUTE! and I got these on sale, at ZARA for $15!


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