I styled these sleek trousers with an old crisp white cotton dress shirt from Talula. I know some people are going to speak up about the wrinkles and creases in it but I actually love the look of a creased white dress shirt. Especially with a messy look like this one, I think it brings character. I left the one too many buttons open to give a peak to the smooth spandex bralette that I’m wearing underneath. This outfit would also look great with a lace bralette but I wanted to avoid looking too promiscuous on a sunny Sunday. 

I wore my favourite menswear inspired coat, the Stedman coat, which I think totally completes the look. I really wanted to capture a “rolled out of bed to conquer the world” look and I think the Stedman is what adds that “girl boss” feel. Throw on a killer pair of booties or heels and you’re ready to take over the world! My shoes are from Browns by Mimosa! 

Hope everyone is having a productive week so far!

Until next time, 

Definitely a favourite from my recent clothing hauls, is this amazing semi-sheer oversized black tshirt/dress (the Recurrant B top) from Bench. It’s hard to tell in these edits but this piece is actually an extremely lightweight almost knit-like top that’s semi-sheer. I’ve been loving pairing this with my Levis denim cutoff shorts and just a bralette underneath. I love how you can see the bralette peeking through a tiny bit, giving the outfit a little bit of an edge. 

I also love how this top looks slightly tucked into jeans or shorts cause it automatically goes from dressy to a “my boyfriend’s tshirt” kind of vibe. I actually bought the top in an XS since it was so oversized and it fit perfectly as a t-shirt dress without being too large to the point that I’m drowning in fabric. Also I think since it’s such a lightweight, flowy material, it actually drapes on the body in a really flattering way. I find that usually with super oversized items, when the fabric is too stiff the shirt will often look awkward around my shoulders. But since this just sits on my shoulders and drops where my shoulders do (rather than where the seam is) it actually is a great fit. 

I paired this piece with my vintage Levis cutoffs and my classic Mimosa heels from Browns. For jewelry I threw on a couple of super simple silver pieces to push the look to an even edgier feel. My cuff is from Hermes and my choker is from Simons. And my bag is from Aritzia. 

Hope you guys are having a great week! I think I only have one more post planned until you’ll be bombarded with LA blogs and videos so stay tuned!

Until next time loves, 

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,
