Hi LOVEs!!!!
It's finally weekend :) Do you have any cool plan to enjoy your weekend? I hope you do!

I am so glad that I was able to show a feminine side of me through the spring yellow dress outfit on the previous post... Ever since I shaved my side, I've tended to go for edgy and cool ensembles somehow. So I was very happy that it seemed like so many people actually liked/loved my 'cute' outfit <3

BUT! I am back to feel edgy and cool in today's post! I've kept mentioning so many times that I can't get away from two matching pieces this season, and I found another one again a few weeks ago at H&M! I couldn't resist buying them (Get yours HERE & HERE) because they were super affordable. Guess how much were they? They were ONLY $25 for two pieces. I didn't have any fashion-forward boyfriend inspired suit, and I especially adore these loose fit trousers. If you wake up and put them on with a tee and a biker or bomber jacket, boom!!! You are totally ready to go for a morning coffee or a little brunch! If you want to dress up a little bit, the top blazer is absolutely a great gourmet to style up with any kind of bottom. It definitely goes with a pencil skirt and even with skinny jeans! There are so many ways to use out of both pieces, right? :)  Also, the patterns on this matching set are just freaking amazing. As you can see, it's not flat strip patterns. It looks like geometric stripes so it's very eye-catchy!

It's spring and will be summer soon. I decided to wear a cropped top to show a little bit of skin. Well.... I know some of you may think that it's too much but I think it's cool? I'd had in my mind that I always wanted to try suit style and a cropped top underneath. It turned out one of my favorite combos in this season! To add a more cool vibe, I styled my hair in pony tail and put on mirrored sunglasses, yet I love how the looks still have a ladylike touch thanks to the red lips and the bright red cropped top!

Since I wanted to build extra height to balance the whole look out, I paired it with wedge heels. Yet I totally suggest you to switch them into trainers or slip-on instead, to achieve a comfy and sporty style!!! It would be fun and playful! 

I hope you enjoyed how I styled the matching pieces!
Looking forward to seeing more of matchy-matchy looks down the road!


Thanks for stopping by! ♥

Hi LOVEs!!!! 

I am sure that you ALL know that the Seattle Seahawks became the world champion in football!!! How awesome is that?!?! I am originally from Japan, but I love Seattle! I am totally proud of my city's team!!!! Last Wednesday, after about 700,000 people gathered in Downtown Seattle to cerebrate the Seahawks' amazing win on Sunday. The street was completely packed with the 12th Man. Unfortunately, I had to work that day so I couldn't go see the actual parade.... However, I thought I should show some love by wearing the Seahawks' BLUE colors! :)

If you know a bit about me, you may have noticed that I am completely obsessed with BLUE lately. This striped turtle neck and accompanying puffer coat are a couple of the new pieces I've received from NOWiSTYLE. This coat not only looks really warm -- it really IS! Its design is superb, especially the way the collar/hood cradles my neck. It is unexpectedly wonderful. It flames my face and keeps my neck really snug. It offers a drawstring high on the waist that can be pulled in to lengthen the appearance of my legs by shortening the torso! I always love the trick of creating an illusion to make my legs magically look longer! Turtle necks are a must-have item this winter, and there is so many ways to rock it! Thought it is a turtle neck dress, it can be transformed into a top, as well.

Ever since wearing a pair of sneakers with a fashionable outfit has become a trend, I have wanted to try it out. Still, I am crazy about heels and appreciate the extra height they add, so sneakers never seemed to make it into one of my outfits. BUT, look how I managed to pair them with today's ensemble! The pink neon color of the shoelaces harmonizes with the outfit, and I really like how they helped my casual sporty look keep just right amount of femininity!
I topped off this look with some silver accessories, hologram bag and put on BLUE mirrored sunglasses to add a sporty vibe a bit more.


Valentine's day is now less than a week away. Do you all have a SWEET plan to celebrate it with your beloved one?
I created two Valentine's inspired outfits for you so please stay tuned for the posts coming up next week! 

Happy weekend! :)

Hi LOVEs!!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and Black Friday shopping! I went for shopping  for almost 12 hours with some nap breaks! Crazy huh?
I got several great-deal goodies as well as my first Rebecca Minkoff  mini satchel bag! (The picture is already up on my IG @aikaslovecloset <3 )


I received this WHITE BEANIE from EA$Y MONEY CLOTHING to work together with! I am totally a sucker for beanies and didn't have a white beanie. It was the perfect gift from them! THANK YOU!
 EA$Y MONEY CLOTHING offers monotone street fashion inspired clothes and  'EA$Y' represents those that do what they love. They believe success is dedicating yourself to what you love and focusing on becoming the best you can be. That's what they stand for: getting by in life doing what you love.
I am really inspired by their motto. I do what I love and love what I do: FASHION <3 So it was such a pleasure to work with such a company that encourages those people who strive to become the best they can be!

I have mentioned tons of times that I love mixing colors, yet I still adore black and white/all-black style. Why not? Since EASY MONEY CLOTHING style is street fashion oriented, I wanted to achieve something combining it with both chicness and edginess. I styled up with a lovely sheer black peplum top courtesy of Charlotte Russe and my favorite biker pants that I recently picked at Isabel Marant pour H&M collection. Then I paired it up with my new hologram bag from NASTY GAL(similar here) and wore ASOS silver shoes (similar here). I forgot to bring my sunglasses, which is one of my all-time essentials, but luckily Justin has these awesome ones to let me borrow. With my surprise, they elevate the street-style vibe quite well. Red lips always instantly upgrade your look if you want to add a touch of elegance or chicness. 

Oh by the way... how cute is this doggy iPhone case from Marc by Marc Jacobs?
I also bought an owl one (HERE) I really like I can change it one after another depending on how I feel on the day! They have a bunch of lovely iPhone cases, you better check them out!
Finally I was able to switch my old cracked-screen iPhone 4S to a new iPhone 5S. I have been amazed and enjoyed it more than I expected!   

I decided to make a totally composed look wearing this beanie so please stay tuned for how I differently style it up! 

Have a wonderful day ♥

Hi my lovely readers! Hope your new week has been treating you well! 

This outfit is what I wore for my best friend's graduation ceremony and guess what? 

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!

First of all, I am completely in love with those rad and trendy metallic sandals from ASOS. I'd never owned a pair of metallic shoes before, so I am glad that I chose these as my first pair! They are just so eye-catching from every direction, right? I also love the heels which are accented with a hologram. They are also available in BLUE, but I believe that this color is much more versatile for my stylings! Whenever I want add some spice to my outfit, these will definitely fit the bill!! The only downside is that the sandals are not my true size, as you can see through the pictures... I got the smallest size available which is US5, but I wish there were one size smaller! Even still, I still got a great pair of spring/summer sandals! I can't wait to rock them with some other spring/summer outfits in the near future! 

Another thing I really love about this outfit is how well the over-sized blazer goes with the low-high sheer skirt! Plus, I was very surprised that it doesn't really make me look short, either! This is totally a new way to wear a blazer! I am quite pleased with this new discovery because I have rarely seen people who style up an over-sized blazer in the way I did, which creates "uniqueness'-- my motto!  

Did you like the way how I paired up the over-sized blazer? Hope you did :)
