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

Balmain x H&M

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

beige turtle neck

and

ankle booties

. 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

UNIQLO 2-way cape

for an extra layer, accentuating some

gold jewelry

! 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

this kind of cape

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!!!♥

SCHAI Launch Party at Roche Bobois






_____________________________



 Hi LOVEs! 
If you follow me on my Instagram, you saw the post that I spent some fun and networking time at a SCHAI  launch party/ Fall-Winter Collection 2014 event last Friday at Roche Bobois, hosted by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine.

 SCHAI (pronounced 'shay') and the designer, Suk Chai  who is based in Bellevue and had fifteen years experience in local design field presented her amazing first-ever collection. Before I went to the party, I checked her collection online, and it didn't take long to fall in love with her pieces and design. Personally, I am usually not very fond of simple designs. Yet I had the impression that her designs ,though simple, are inspired by the nuance and form of great architecture. In addition, it's very practical and innovative. For instance, the jacket fur collar is replaceable so that you can wear it with a different garment, and Suk said eventually it will have a pocket to store a cell phone or necessities.  How awesome is that? The fabrics are definitely breathtaking, and I really love how a piece touches the skin and fits the body. Her line is surely something that makes you look outstanding and upgrades your wardrobe just like those high-end designers like Alexander Wang and Jason Wu. I was also fascinated by the mix of textures she uses: leather, silk, wool, pony hair, and cashmere. My favorite pieces of her collection at the party were the Nude Pink Coat and Fur Collar Scarf.  Check out more of her collection HERE or social medias below.

The place she chose to present her new collection is just WOW. Roche Bobois is an wonderful furniture store from Paris, and I couldn't get enough of all the inspiring, distinguished, colorful, modern, and fabulous furniture there.  I wanna go back again and take a time to take a look at each item.

I was very pleased to be there to see her collection in person because I know soon or later, it will be going global! I wish the new start of her designer's journey good luck and for many people to fall in love with her collection...


Lastly... here is what I wore at the party! Thank you for the photos, Jason!

Fall Back to Punk Tartan

MOTO JACKET, FUR BAG and CRYSTAL NECKLACE: H&M
'BALLER' TANK - 'BALLER' Graphic Muscle Tank and iPhone CASE: Charlotte Russe
TARTAN PENCIL SKIRT - Daisy Street Body-Conscious Skirt in Check: ASOS

WATCH: ALDO 


---------------------------------------------------------


In my previous post, I mentioned that I am quite obsessed with pencil skirts lately for so many reasons. They elongate your legs, are sophisticated, and add a chic vibe to your look. With that, I would like to introduce my latest pencil skirt ensemble, which qualifies as my favorite fall look so far.

Tartan prints are now quite ubiquitous and I really adore this big fall trend! Thus, I was very pleased when I found this beautiful, chic, polished tartan skirt from ASOS. There are plenty of ways to rock this lovely tartan skirt, and I decided to go for a combination of punk and chic vibe together. I received this simple but eye-catchy BALLER tank from Charlotte Russe in my most recent care package from them. THANK YOU CR TEAM! The tank really add the punk to my outfit, and is really cool! Wearing a beanie tops off this fall look, I mean, what is fall without a beanie, right!? I really love this yellow beanie from Target, which I got for around $5!!!! What a deal! Mather Nature paints with a bright palette of red and yellow as she shifts the seasons, and so this beanie's bright color completes the look that blends right in!

Fall can be a little chilly, and I believe that a moto biker jacket is such a great piece to add to the the rocker/punk look.  The red lipstick elevates the look even more. Still, I wanted to retain chic and polished side, so I balanced things out with a fur bag, pointed platform high heels and crystal necklace. These items also add the right dose of femininity, and my side braid hair provides a touch of playfulness.


I hope you like/love my tartan look with a punk taste!
How would you wear a tartan print?
