Hi LOVEs! Happy Tuesday!

I can't believe that summer will soon come to the end, and we are welcoming a new season! 

In a few more days, September will be here. Do you know what that means? New York Fashion Week and other cities' other crazy fashion weeks are starting everywhere! Unfortunately, this is another year that yet again I won't be able to attend, and it totally sucks to say "No, I am not going" when my blogger babes asked me if I will be there... :(

But I am so looking forward to seeing all the oh-so fashionable street style photos and my friends’ updates freshly from NYFW to get inspired and to enjoy it virtually. While I am in Seattle I always create some NYFW inspired looks because that's how I can at least feel the vibe! Plus, even if you are not going to Fashion Week, that shouldn't stop you from dressing up as if you were there, right? Therefore, today's look is all about what I would rocking during NYFW!

I finally grabbed

a nude pair of trousers

, and they are one of my staple pieces now! They are super easy to style with everything and a perfect item to elevate a look to very chic and sophisticated. I decided to go with a

striped cropped top

because you can never go wrong with stripes as they instantly add a touch of refinement. The top is actually NOT designed as an off-the-shoulder look, but I styled it that way to add more a flattering effect! I wanted to play with some color to add boldness to this look, and topping it off with reds was totally the right decision!! Not just one color, it's double! I purposely matched my

new lovely red sandals

with my red bucket bag! I really like how this same color matching combo completed the entire look!

Who's going to NYFW and how would you dress up ?

Have a sweet and productive day, lovelies! ♥

Hi LOVEs!

Since it's summer, I want to play with vivid colors and try to avoid dark colors as much as I can! I am very comfortable in this dress thanks to the loose fit, and the lacy thin straps give it an extra feminine touch! This dress does everything! Unfortunately, the length wasn't quite right, even though I bought the smallest size.  As a petite girl, I really need to consider the length of the hem to provide the balance for the whole look. Otherwise, it could throw off the impact of the other parts of my outfit and become unremarkable.

Whenever I encounter this issue,of a lengthy hem, I always use a belt for a bit of a magic! I chose an

Isabel Marant x H&M

leather and metal chain belt, which would go very nicely with the silver pendant. Also, I like the combination of sweetness and metal accent.

This is my first time styling a fedora like this, and I LOVE it! This is a great way to style up a fedora during the summer time. Putting your hair up keeps the back of your neck cool from the summer heat. Also, can I talk about these killer

Jeffrey Campbell

ankle boots

? I'd been looking for summer boots over the years, and had had no luck to find them... But finally! I found comfortable yet funky ones also on

Nasty Gal

! I even scored them with 75% off!! :) Yeah, there was no reason not to get them!

I combined a leopard print scarf and a biker jacket for the night-time ensemble to keep myself warm!! Yup... Seattle is still getting chilly at the night time! :(

Did you like how I styled the slip dress? Hope you did!

Happy hump day everyone!

Hi LOVEs!

Red is always my favorite color and forever will be. To me, since my name consists of the meaning of "love" in Japanese (Ai = Love), red seems to be a perfect color, representing who I am. Whenever I wear clothes with red, I feel like I truly become myself.  I believe that everyone also must have a particular color that is very symbolic to you :)

This red scuba knit fabric dress courtesy from

Charlotte Russe

is one of the bodycon dresses I am very fond of. Talking a little personal, I don't feel good about my breast size because they are not sexily big and wish to have a bit bigger ones :P That's why, I am quite uncomfortable wearing a dress that has a wide open-cut in the middle of chest, although I REALLY want to try out those dresses just because I personally consider them sexier and more attractive. However, this dress can magically cover my inferiority while still helping me pull of the sexiness. Generally, red dresses are much bolder than black dresses thanks to the bright color, so it's awesome to have one in your closet when you wanna go for a more conspicuous look.

I love the notched neckline

that shows off the right amount of shoulders, creating a sassy silhouette. The mesh cut-outs around my thighs add a flirty peek-a-boo and a can't-miss twist. Plus, they create the magic of elongating my legs and making me look slimmer.

When I came to select the shoes, I couldn't make a quick decision (in a good way, though!) because I have too many shoes to choose from! But soon my eyes settled on the right pair! I scored these amazing open-toe pumps with interesting details on the heels and soles at

Crossroads Trading Co

., and they perfectly compliment the look. Also, they integrate very well with the black and gold accessories! And of course adding red lips is always a great way to complete evening and dressy looks for the finishing touch!

I should have published this post on either Friday night or weekend, not in the middle of the week because I feel that is more appropriate. Hopefully you like this look, though, and I can give you some inspiration to your night-out look for the upcoming weekend!

Happy Thursday!

Hi LOVEs!!!! Happy Valentine's week!

My last post was about the BLUEs, but today's post is all about RED because lovely Valentine's day is right around the corner and RED is absolutely the symbolic color of it!! Last year I shared two Valentine's Day inspired outfits with you, and I wanted to do the same this year. If you missed the posts last year ( or just want to go back in time), you can check them out 

HERE

.

This first outfit features a lot of Valentine color: RED & WHITE. I think this outfit would be too literal for some of you, but I really adore this look. The outfit is full of Valentine sentiment, and I rock the colors really well! You can totally tell from the outfit that it's custom-fit for Valentine's Day, too! That said, it's totally wearable anytime, isn't it? Well to me... YES!!! The thing I like the most about this outfit is how I put on the bright red oversize coat over the red check dress. I have never done a red-on-red outfit before, and it turned to be a favorite ensemble. It's super bright and fashion-forward! 

Most people might have chosen a pair of plain or sheer tights to complete the look, but I went with polka dot tights to finish my look. I think it really adds a bit of a playful vibe to the look. Additionally, it really worked with the check dress! I accessorized with some white items to soften the look, while wearing some vintage gloves to add just a touch of class. Whenever I wear a beret, it always makes me feel more feminine, since berets can instantly add a hint of femininity to any look.

I don't have any plans for my V-day since I don't have a boyfriend. Do you have any special plan? It's kinda sad because I love Valentine's Day... Yet, I am going to buy a bunch of chocolate and watch a movie to celebrate the day! Or I will go out for a dinner if I am lucky enough to be someone's Valentine lol

I hope I was able to give you some inspiration for what you plan to wear on your V-day! Another post is coming up very soon so please stay tuned! It is gonna be totally different than today's look!

HAPPY SWEET VALENTINES DAY LOVELIES!!!!!!!

Hi LOVES!!!! Happy Monday & Happy Holidays!

Hope you have memory-making plans this week to cerebrate the holidays!! 

A favorite color of mine throughout my entire life has no-doubt been RED! My name 'AIKA' means "The Sweet Scent of Affection" in Japanese, and red is always a representative color of "LOVE." I enjoy giving love to people, and this world needs a lot of love! I love my name and really appreciate my parents putting together such a sweet sentiment for my name!

Naturally, whenever I wear red, I feel better and it brightens up my day! I think the colors that are associated with being a "women" or "girl" can help to bring out the inner feminine spirit in you.  I am very thankful to the 

Now I Style

team that I am currently working with, as they sent me this lovely and cute

over-sized jumper

. I adore it so much! The fit is a bit big for me, but I take advantage of it to wear it loosely. It makes such a statement piece for fall and winter thanks to its vivid color while remaining warm and cozy!

This look could definitely become a perfect holiday outfit, I believe. Since white is another great color for the holidays, I decided to add a lace bodycon skirt underneath.  I accessorized with pearl and gold jewelry to gram things up. I ultimately chose these amazing leopard booties, and they absolutely are great accents to complete the whole ensemble.

When it came to style up my hair, I wanted to achieve a dramatic hairstyle without sacrificing beauty.

Oh my gosh... I really cannot get enough of this hairstyle! I am quite pleased with how my purple hair gives an extra chic touch to the outfit. Here is how to create this hairstyle:

1. I styled a bigger-than-normal pompadour slightly to the side.

2. Curled my hair, back-combed/teased the curled hair to add more volume.

Got it? I love this effortless yet fabulous hair!!!

Now I am ready for the holidays with this outfit... <3

Maybe you will see me out on the town making all the guys look my way as I toss my hair as I walk on by!

What is your go-to outfit for the holidays??
