Hi LOVEs!!!! Happy hump day!

Thanks to the spring season, I've been totally into wearing lots of pretty colors and spring dresses lately! I hated that the weather last week was terrible! It was like a return to winter cold last Monday.... However, I am super happy to have the real spring weather back this week in Seattle! Yesterday was amazingly warm and beautiful with no chilly wind, so I took advantage of it to shoot at Discovery Park! Lots of nature and a bunch of pretty daisies blooming in the window sills!! :)

Speaking of spring dresses, I loooooooove this pastel yellow skater dress courtesy of Charlotte Russe! I was about to look for a dress in pastel so it arrived JUST in time! The cutout in the back adds the right amount of the sex appeal, which I love the most about this dress! I actually didn't have anything that has a nice cutout on the back so it's double yays for me! Since the length turned out a bit longer, I wore the belt to adjust it! It look perfect now!
This denim jacket has been one of the must-have items for spring, and I have two -- one light and dark color! I chose the lighter one for this look so it goes with the dress flawlessly. I slipped on a pair of pastel strap sandals (loving the ombre lucite heels!) and can't get enough of how they complete the whole look with the dress!
Charlotte Russe is one of my favorite wallet-friendly online stores and they always carry a great selection of cute and fab dresses plus other cool stuff! Unfortunately, this dress is no longer available, but I highly recommend checking them out now and then! I bet you will have a nice shopping experience!!! <3

Can I talk about a little bit jewelry I am wearing on today's look? The four pieces on me today - pearl necklace, butterfly bracelet, chain bracelet, and midi rings - are from Modern Trend. My Instagram (@aikaslovecloset) friend owns the online store. Her jewelry is always superb, and I can't help but liking her stuff on her Instagram (@jesscafang). I finally was able to buy her amazing pieces early this month and have been in love with all of them! You should definitely follow her on Instagram and check her online store as well! Make sure to keep eye on some good deals with a lovely discount (because I grabbed mine at a 50% off discount! Scored!)


Have a lovely day ♥

Hi my lovely readers! Happy Friday again! I am going out for dinner with my friend tonight at my favorite Japanese restaurant, so I am very very excited. Due to my busy schedule, I was unable to go there for such a looooong time!!! Hope you, too, are planning many nice things to do for your Friday night! 

_______________________________________

This photos were taken a few weeks ago by Oveth , a Seattle-based photographer. He lives in Bellingham, but he came down to Seattle for an interview with a model agency. I am very happy that he reached out to me to collaborate on this photoshoot. I really enjoyed the photoshoot with him and am especially pleased with how the photographs came out. We didn't particularly select the locations in advance, but my outfit and the scenery  are nicely coordinated with the background.

I had never owned a camo jacket until I found this amazing two-tone jacket at Urban Outfitters (Similar). I'd been searching for several months, but I always ended up not being able to find the ideal one, so just look at this cool camo jacket I got! All that time searching  really paid off, dontcha think? Just putting it on gives a cool edginess to my look! In addition, I really love how the Camo jacket really goes together with my red lipstick! I believe it is one of my favorite combinations!
 Since the camo jacket has a really outstanding pattern, I wanted to style the inner clothes very simple but still fun and edgy! I never tried to pair the bustier/bralet (Similar) in this kind of way (to wear it over a top), and I really like how it creates a different look of "jean-on-jean" outfit. 

Also, lucite heeled shoes are SO in vogue right now. I just gotta say, I LOVE THESE CRAZY BOOTS soooo much! When I found them online at Charlotte Russe ( YES! They are ONLY available online & you can buy them HERE!), I couldn't help but buy them because they are simply AWESOME! Whenever I wear them, people just look at the shoes and pay me compliments, which makes me super duper happy! I paired my new H&M clear earrings with this outfit to match up with those booties as well :)

Thanks again, Oveth for the awesome photo shoot!
Hope you like/love my camo look~ <3
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
