I wore this outfit when I did a day trip with Janice and Vernice to Victoria to explore. Was definitely the perfect outfit for the cool summer day that we were there! Not to mention definitely giving this outfit a 10/10 for comfort as well. I have a few more ‘discovering skirts’ outfits planned so hopefully I’ll have time to shoot for them soon! But for now I’ll leave you with some links to this one.

Other (AMAZING) One Teaspoon denim skirts!

Until next time, 

While trying to figure out what I should name this post/write about, I kind of noticed that I was wearing a lot of the items that I have been glued to lately. Actually, it seems like I’ve really just thrown together a bunch of things that I’ve been loving and called it an outfit… so VOILA! Here are my current favourites, OOTD style!

So let’s start from top to bottom (or head to toe if you will). 

1. My HAIR. My pitch black, “for the night is dark and full of terrors” hair! (still obsessing over GOT clearly…). But all jokes aside, I haven’t been this happy with my hair in what seems like ages. Having an ombre, and trying to have an ashy ombre, was probably the most high maintenance thing I’ve done my entire life. Not to mention I looked like every other Asian chick with ombre hair. But ever since I’ve dyed my hair back to black, I’ve felt so much happier and more confident with my look! And really that’s the whole point of changing your hair colour right? To feel good about yourself? Funny how I felt the happiest with myself when I went back to my natural hair colour… Who would’ve thunk it? 

2. CHOKERS. I honestly didn’t think I would get into this trend… but then again I don’t think I’m going to get into a lot of trends yet I still end up looking like every other “on-trend” blogger there is (oops!). Honestly at first I was SO uncomfortable with how it felt against my neck. Like I mean I really understood why they’re called “CHOKErs”. But honestly after a couple wears (took me about like 2 weeks) you really do forget that it’s there. And now sometimes I feel bare without one. The one that I’m wearing is actually a belt from one of my dresses! So if you’re not down to spend 15-20 bucks on a piece of string, check your closet!

3. My Hermes BANGLE. Well… technically it’s not MY bangle. It’s my mom’s Hermes bangle that she got as a birthday gift a couple years ago. But it’s recently become one of my favourite jewelry pieces to wear EVER. I’ve pretty much discovered that it goes with practically every outfit I own so it has made a home on my wrist for pretty much this entire summer. I’m obsessed with it and I think it goes really well with my personal style. I don’t think my mom will be getting this baby back for a while (love you mom). 

4. Urban Outfitters BELT: You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for a good quality, western-styled belt. When I saw this amazing genuine leather one at UO I knew I had to get it. It’s actually a size large but I went out to my local Daiso and bought a cheap leather hole punch. Now I can DIY the sizes of all my belts! I find that this is also one of those pieces that I throw on with almost all my outfits now-a-days to bring together an outfit. So don’t be surprised if you see it plenty more OOTDs!

5. Citizens of Humanity Liya JEANS: Comfiest. Jeans. EVER. Citizens of Humanity jeans have been my favourite branded jeans for a while now and are known to make comfortable denim. They really outdid themselves with the Liyas though. They are a modern twist of the classic mom jeans style and have the softest fabric I’ve ever felt on a pair of denim. I’ve pretty much been wearing these non-stop. And because they’re such a simple, versatile style they really go with so many different outfits. 

6. Mimosa SHOES: I have been eyeing these down for AGES but never could bite the bullet to spend $200 on a pair of heels that I may never wear. I am definitely more of a sneakers/booties girl so I was worried these would turn out to be like every other pair of heels I own… A.K.A sitting on my shoe shelf looking pretty and collecting dust. However, every single one of my girlfriends who own this shoe says it is the comfiest heel they own so I thought I would give it a try, in hopes of finding a “comfortable heel”… AND I DID. I was actually able to do a 6 hour shift in these babies so they are definitely tried and tested! 

Hope you guys enjoyed this more text-filled post and let me know what your current favourites closet items are! And if you were wondering where this cute backdrop is, it’s the McArthurGlen designer outlet by the YVR airport in Vancouver! There are so many perfect backdrops for shooting there so definitely check it out if you’re looking for interesting places to shoot. Not to mention you can do some shopping while you’re there!

Until next time, 

Let me just apologize in advance if my outfits look a little lazy and more relaxed. Although I do wear baggy, comfy clothes on the regular, I do feel that my blogpost outfits should be a little more done up and “stylish”. But lately things have been too hectic for me to dress up.

I feel like I’ve got so much to do and there are definitely not enough hours in a day to do it all. School, work, instagram, blogging, youtube, hanging out with friends… I want to do everything. I’ve really been inspired lately to try to work on my IG, blog, and YouTube more. It’s something I’ve grown passionate about over the past year and I want to grow it further. I wish school wasn’t so time-consuming so that I would actually have time to translate the ideas in my head into bomb content. But I guess most of it will just have to wait until the summer.

Talking about the summer, there are so many things I want to accomplish this summer as well. Other than summer bod 16′, which is something I’ve been trying to achieve in full force, I also want to expand on my experience in my field of study. I’m really hoping that I will either have time to work on my own branding or that I will be able to intern / work part-time in the industry. (PRAYING).

Either way I hope I do something this summer that I can be proud of in years to come. Fingers-crossed!

I’d love to know what you guys have planned for this summer? Traveling? Summer school? Beach bumming? Let me know!

More soon,

My newest favourite pairing has been pairing boyfriend jeans and (pointed) booties. The reason I put “pointed” in brackets is because they don’t necessarily HAVE to be pointed to look good with boyfriend jeans. BUT I love how the sleek feminine silhouette looks with the boyish jeans. 

The pair I’m wearing above are from Forever21. Although I find it kind of difficult to find boyfriend jeans at F21, mostly because they’re ALWAYS sold out in my size, when I do they usually are AWESOME. Affordable, soft, comfortable and stylish. What more can you ask for? Usually for trendy jeans , such as really distressed boyfriend jeans, I don’t like spending an insane amount of money because trends pass. I’d rather invest in classic pieces that I know I will love forever. 

My booties are from ASOS. I’ve been looking for an affordable pointed chelsea boot for quite some time and I LOVE this one especially because of its resemblance to the ACNE Jensen boot. They were originally $80 but I was lucky enough to get them on sale for $50 ! Such a steal for a great pair of comfortable black booties. More places you can usually find affordable booties are Zara, Top Shop, Aldo and Spring. My go-to places to look when I’m trying to find an affordable option for trending booties and shoes.

I went with a flowy colour-block t-shirt from Oak and Fort to add more femininity to the baggie jeans and then finished the outfit off with my Mackage Rumer jacket. 

On my most recent trip down to the states I picked up these snake print Adidas SL Loop. I definitely noticed these before but never really knew whether it was worth spending the money on. However, I got lucky, during my trip to Portland I saw these for a discounted price at Nordstrom Rack. I’ve definitely been on a sneaker kick since this past summer and I’ve acquired 5 different pairs of sneakers since the May… Yikes. But since sneakers are actually all the rage right now, it’s the perfect time for me to lounge around in as many different sneakers as I can. Comfort + style. What could be better. 

I love how these pop with a good black outfit. They really do stand out yet the pattern is still subtle. I paired this near-all-black ensemble with a light washed denim jacket which I think helps break up all the darkness. Inside I’m wearing a really simple, crew-neck sweater and I’m using my Matt & Nat backpack. 

This is a pretty good representation of what kind of outfit I usually go for when I’ve got class to attend. I find that the all black makes it look trendy still but I’m still super comfortable and cozy for those cold lecture halls. 

How do you like to wear your sneakers? 

AHHHH, I’m so excited about this ! 

I finally bought some Citizens!!!!!! I’ve been on the fence about these for the longest time, purely because they’re jeans that cost an arm and a leg. BUT since I do get an employee discount at my new work, and they carry these bad boys, I decided to bite the bullet and splurge on them !

I’ve only worn them once so far, but I’m already in love with them. The distressing is very well done, and the denim itself is extremely soft and fits my body well. I was originally going to buy the Citizen Rocket Porter jeans , but these ones (Citizen Avedon Porter) I actually ended up liking more. They’ve got the same distressing as the Rocket Porters but they’re a little longer (the rockets go to your ankles) and aren’t as high-waisted. Not to mention, the denim is softer than the Rockets are well, so I’ve been really enjoying them. Honestly doesn’t feel like I’m wearing jeans at all, they’re perfect. 

I’ll let you know whether they’re hard to maintain or not, when I’ve worn them for a bit. I’ve heard that you’re not really supposed to wash nice denim all that much, and you’re actually supposed to put them in the freezer if you get them dirty? Idk. We’ll see LOL 

I will rock these in some outfits soon enough… Haven’t had ANY time to take OOTDS lately…. but when I have a chance, I promise I’ll spit them out like hot fiyaaaahhh (fire) and take like ten different ones at one time, so I have a queue. 

Until next time !
