Hi LOVEs!!!!
When it comes to making an outfit on a daily basis, does it mostly depend on your mood or any clothes or piece you want to sport? Or is it something else? In my case, it's generally the latter, and that's why newly added items to my closet always happen to be on heavy rotation. Do you often do the same?
I recently got thise
that are hand-crafted with an amazing deep green calf hair from
. It's already too cold to rock this pair barefoot in Seattle, but I've been wearing them with tights and socks since the week I received it. I can't get over how sophisticated they are, and the comfiness is beyond incredible!!! For today's look, I decided to center these booties to create the rest of the outfit, which I thought it would be fun to achieve the "Earth Color" combo style with a bit of a casual sporty vibe. This look could be perfect for watching sports and holiday shopping! Green and camel is such an easy way to create that style, so I simply combined my favorite
and
, along with my comfiest
.
By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that you can customize your shoes from the heel shape to insole color on
! Isn't is amazing? Their shoes have been featured on notable fashion magazines like InStyle, People, OK!, and more! So you better check them out because their shoes are too lovely to pass on for the adoring holiday gift idea!
Enjoy your Sunday, cuties! ♥

Be Fierce in Balmain x H&M
Here is another look ft. Balmain x H&M collection

DRESS :: Balmain x H&M

Hi LOVEs!!!! Happy FriYAY!
I think it's great way to end my crazy week and start off the weekend by sharing my favorite look with you guys! There is always such saying "A girl can never have enough stunning dresses in her closet!" I am completely up for that, and this Balmain x H&M dress strikes me and is a rock star of all the dresses I have! To my surprise, the collection was much more popular than last year, and this dress was the last one left on the rack, even my regular size were gone in a few minutes! How crazy, huh? I am extremely happy to get my hands on a dress from the collection and so glad to end up owing this number.
I feel like a super woman in this dress - so bold, so fierce, and so seductive. How the color-block is designed is what makes this dress so one-of-a-kind! I look utterly hot from every angle, check out the gold back zip detail all the way across the dress!!! The shoulder part is in the boxy shape, which is great for someone who has narrow shoulders like me. I added a black belt with the gold accented buckle to help definite my frame and finished it off with a pair of platform booties.
I was able to score this gorgeous statement rhinestone earrings from the collection as well, and they go just so perfectly with the dress! They are really eye-catchy and striking, thus wearing this earrings will give such a memorable accent to all my holiday parties down the road! Shiner, the better! Bigger, the better!! I decided to style my hair in high ponytail so that I could stylishly showcase the amazing detail of the dress as well as how superb the earrings are!
By the way, I am kind of a girl who always carries a pair of sunglasses wherever I go. My current favorite ones are Prada Cinema via DITTO where you can rent designers sunglasses for only $24/month until whenever you want to. Here is a special code that you can get your first month for free : AIKASLOVECLOSET!!! I hope you can find the pair you have kept your eyes on there! ;)
Cheers to the amazing weekend, my sweeties! ♥

Hi LOVEs!
I hope your week has been treating you well! It's almost the weekend so hang in there!
Ughhh! I am so so so pleased that I finally can share with you guys one of the pieces I got from
collection!! I am so sorry it took nearly a month to post this outfit! However, it's better late than never, right? ;)
First thing to say.... I freaking L O V E this pencil skirt!! I think I should admit that it's THE BEST pencil skirt I've ever owned! I am not even exaggerating! Can't get over the black and white color, and it's very fascinating that the skirt is super stretchy and body-hugging. It helps compliment my body line, especially around my waist. You know Balmin clothes as well as the collection are stunningly bold, edgy, and striking! I would totally stick with the vibe to style this pencil skirt, but I decided not but with good reason! Instead, I went for chic and something that is wearable every day, which I donned a
and
. I am not a office lady, but this could be perfect for business meetings or work attires, couldn't it?
I topped it off with my new
for an extra layer, accentuating some
! This UNIQLO cape is such a bad boy because as the name states, it's good both as a cape and scarf. But I figured
is totally styled in multiple ways! As the picture shows down below, you could wear it at least in 3 ways! Seriously in love!
I hope you enjoyed my first
Balmain x H&M
look, and looking forward to a future post where I will probably restyle this amazing pencil skirt!
Happy almost weekend, everyone!!!♥

Hi LOVEs!
It kind of feels like a relief that the shopping madness is finally overrrr! I think this year I shopped more than usual, but it's okay I have no regrets. I would rather feel happy to score most of the things I wanted to get my hands on from my wishlist! My wallet is so light, though! How did your shopping go??
Now that this year only has one month left, isn't it crazy how fast time flies? Although I am still not getting used to this crisp air yet, I love the feeling of bundling all up in a cozy knit and chunky scarf! In addition to that, fur vests and OTK boots are one of my favorite winter items to wear! Fur vests are super versatile and are easy to layer with almost everything even outerwear like a biker jacket and duster coat. OTK boots are definitely seasonal must-haves because they can make your look effortlessly chic and fun, plus the layering options are endless! Don't forget that they are also great pieces for perfect holiday & party looks!
So I styled them to create a chic and feminine ensemble by putting together with some of my other favorites - ruffle sleeve blouse, leopard mini skirt, and beret.
In Japan wearing berets is so popular, and I have at least 6 of them already!!! I can't be more excited that instead of the ultimate winter headwear like fedoras and beanies, berets are having their moment to shine this winter for sure!
Stay warm, dolls!! ♥

Hi LOVEs!
I bet you guys all so thrilled to spend your day for the crazy shopping, so I am going to keep today's post fairly short! I can't express how much I love this *ALL BLACK* outfit featuring my new black sleek long coat and super comfy leather-looking leggings from Boohoo! Because today's Black Friday, I thought to myself: "Let's just not wear any color!" Well, it worked! Please don't point out my lovely mermaid hair, though! lol I tried to focus on mixing a lot of textures into this look for a not-your-average all-black outfit! I can't get enough of how edgy yet chic the look turned out, and it got me dig and try more of "completely" all-noir look this winter!
Boohoo gives you a lot of offers and discounts onsite, like up to 70% off everything & free shipping ONE DAY ONLY! You don't wanna miss this out! So go shop now >>> CLICK HERE!

Hi LOVEs!!!!
So little time, so many posts to share! If you follow me on social media (

& snapchat (@
fashionsitaika
), you probably remembere that I was super duper stoked to go to the UNIQLO launch party earlier this month. As you know,
is the most notable Japanese clothing apparel brand, and I am more than happy for them to finally make their way to Seattle!
We celebrated with a bunch of fun activities - traditional sake ceremony with a Seahawks football player, Jermaine Kearse, live music by
The Flavr Blue
, snacking on complementary refreshments, and more. Of course, we got to shop all night, and how everything is displayed totally reminds me of Japan. It is exactly the same! I splurged on a

, and I love what I brought home! I should have carried a pair of flats so that I could have saved some energy for more shopping! lol To be honest with you, I was kinda hoping for them to open in Seattle (without a car, it takes 1.5 hours to get there :( ), but now I have a reason to go to Bellevue! haha
One of the biggest moments of pleasure to cherish as a blogger is definitely seeing and meeting fellow bloggers whenever I attend an event. I was so pleased to finally get to meet Vicky and Rose after following each other for a long time! We all enjoyed the fun time together, having girl talk, and even sharing some blogging tips! Lots of laughter and delightful moments... <3 To me, this is more than just something I couldn't have imagined if I had stayed in Japan! Pursuing dreams in a foreign county isn't as easy as I pictured, but there is always a bright side! Making friends all over the world is absolutely an amazing thing!
Thank you so much UNIQLO for having me, and welcome to Seattle! More party pictures on
!
By the way, I will soon post a full feature of this gorgeous new
BALMAIN x H&M
dress, so stay tuned!
Have a wonderful Tuesday, everyone! ♥

Hi LOVEs!!!
It's finally Friday, and I couldn't be happier because the weather is looking like it will be so nice and sunny for the next three days! No more gloomy weather! (for a while at least! )
It's crazy how much the temperature is dropping down day by day. It's so hard to get out of my bed every morning because it is so snuggly. This chilly weather sometimes drives me nuts, and don't wanna think too much about what I am going to wear for that day. I figured that an easy solution is going for a casual look with a basic combo. But you still want to look chic and fab, of course! This is what I ended up wearing. A plain
,
,
, and
-- These are my current go-to basic pieces because they are amazingly versatile items that you could style with almost anything!
To my surprise, I didn't own a
until recently. And having it in my closet has seriously been saving my life. I can layer another cardigan underneath, for great chemistry with a cozy scarf, and I really like the oversized silhouette that balances out my short height, especially when I wear flats. Then styling it with a pair of
is totally trendy and on point!
If you are opting for a casual yet fashionable look, make sure to add something eye-catching like a statement necklace, killer sunnies, or pop of color. Imagine this look without these gorgeous
(yes, I double-layered! ), it would end up as a completely plain outfit. I also decided to elevate my look with my new
and my all-time favorite
. Not only are they a great finishing touch, but I also covered my too-tired-from-yesterday face. It's a double win!
Don't forget to use "AIKAS20" at
for gorgeous statement necklaces! Their necklaces are just so perfect right now for a party occasion or a holiday gift for any woman!
Hope you have a wonderful & fun weekend ahead, beauties!

Inspiration :: Dream Office
Starting off a new week by beating the Monday Blues with the amazing office inspiration.
Sources:
Hi LOVEs! How was your weekend?
Here in Seattle, the weather has been awfully bad, so I didn't plan anything fun for my weekend although some of my friends went to watch the Seahawks game! I had a lot of fun at the new Hello Kitty Exhibition at EMP last Friday so that was enough! Looks like this horrible weather will continue through this whole week (eeek! ) so it's time for me to figure out how to enjoy these dull days! haha
Though I said, I didn't do anything amusing during the weekend, I got inspired by looking through office inspiration on
, so why don't I share them with you guys! Just like life needs some fresh change, it would be fun to do something different here on the post! I hope you are inspired already by checking out those dream office images above! Maybe I should taking advantage of being stuck at home as making a new office space, or brainstorming it at least! Need more inspiration? Follow my
board!
I also picked a bunch of home decors and furniture that could help elevate your home office or even a little corner of your desk! Happy shopping!
Have a happy & productive Monday, Angles!

Hi LOVEs! Happy Friday! Any fun plan for the weekend?
If you are petite like me, you know the real struggle of finding a pair of perfect jeans? Well.. That hits me all the time! Although skinny jeans are pretty easy to get your hands on, when it comes to other type of jeans, it's really pain in the butt. So it was extremely a happy moment when I found these
online, and the fit is amazingly flawless when it was arrived!! It's high-waist, and I appreciate it making my legs look longer. Plus, I don't need to tailor the hems or wear sky-high heels thanks to the just right amount of the length!! I was finally able to ride on the wave of this 70's inspired jean trend! haha
I paired them with my favorite oversized blush knit for an easy-going style - like a brunch-with-my-girls-look. In fact, I caught up with one of my new friends,
who is a Vancouver based jewelry designer. I super adore her pieces, and this look was so perfect to feature her dainty handmade beautiful accessories.
I am wearing:
I highly recommend you to check out her website for more fab pieces! My favorites are definitely stone contained necklaces!
I am still hunting for another pair of flare jeans, more like the ones with tight on the thigh and flare at the bottom. So if you know of any stores you could recommend, please comment below! :)
On the side (personal) note, I am freaking excited to attend
Hello Kitty Supercute Operning Party
with my blogger friend, Bailey of
. Special thanks to
UNIQLO
for the tickets at the last second (They were sold out so quickly, we couldn't get our tickets until 2 days ago! ) Follow along the fun time with Hello Kitty on my snap: @
