Hi LOVEly readers! Happy Halloween!
Hope you all had a fun and amazing Halloween weekend! :) I was very overjoyed with my Halloween this year! First, my boss took to me to a pumpkin patch, which I had never done before, and I really liked the field where I could pick and choose among so many different kinds and colors of pumpkins. Then, he hosted a huge Halloween party last weekend! I was his main assistant, acting as a photographer and mingling with the guests, but also he gave me the responsibility to put on a fashion show of costumes at the party! For my first costume I dressed up as a naughty feline femme fatale, and my second costume was as a Geisha, which is a costume I have wanted to do for a long long time!! My boss also invited a professional photographer to the party so that the guests could have professional photographs taken of their fabulous costumes! Of course I had a bunch of pictures taken at the booth. So don't forget to scroll down to see both of my costumes!!!

I wore this following outfit for a TOPSHOP launch event last week and my inspiration was Halloween. I added the wide-brimmed fedora (think witch chic) from Free People  and I accessorized myself with both spiky and Haloween-inspired jewelry such as snake, skull and spider rings, a horn necklace, geometric earrings. I added  a touch of dark purple color to my lips to emphasize a Witch touch.

I love how my knee high socks and these Steve Madden platform pumps go well together and I really appreciate the fact that they make my legs look longer. These heels are not meant for shopping for hours, but you know how I am. I love CRAZY shoes that catch people's eyes! After I finished shopping, my feet were completely dead but I really love how these heels can bring out the Witch vibe. 

Who in the world would think to combine camouflage and witch look together? ME!!!! lol

I wouldn't have expected that they could ever go well together, but look how it turned out! I really love it and love that this outfit has a sense of femininity thank to the pleated skirt!

Hope you enjoy my today's look, LOVEs!!!
I took some pictures at the event at Bellevue Square Topshop, so hopefully I can share them with you soon! 

Okay, now it's time to talk about Halloween!
What do/did you guys dress up as?
Here is my Naughty Cat & Geisha costume!!!

Please enjoy my costumes!!!!

I had purchased a cat costume for my first Halloween in 2008. Since then, I had worn it in 2010 and 2011, and now I am so tired of the same costume, yet I didn't wanna spend a bunch of money for an outfit I could only wear one day a year. So I re-styled everything, by using the cat ear headband and bow collar.

Bustier: Forever 21
Tutu: Rented
Red Mesh Tights: a local store

Fur cuffs: ASOS
Booties: Jeffrey Campbell

What I like the most about this look is my hair! I managed to style my hair fabulously, didn't I?

As for the Geisha look, everything is rented.
 I mentioned earlier in this post that my boss hosted a Halloween party, and his nice friend who owns a costume shop let us borrow whatever we wanted to pick. This Geisha costume was my pick. I had not planned to change my costume, but I always love to try a new thing and the Geisha costume was one of the top 5 costumes I've wanted to try whenever I had a chance!
 I am really obsessed with this kimono so bad! Isn't it just so dramatic and gorgeous? No wonder it's worth over $200+. I couldn't find the obi (wide sash) to tie the kimono so I used the robe ribbon as the obi! lol It actually works huh?
I am so glad to finally get dressed up as a Geisha for my Halloween costume!!! All the guests completely loved my second costume more than my first one, and said that I reminded them of a Geisha from "Memoirs of a Geisha"!! 

What do you guys think? :)

Thank you very much for reading today's long post, but I really hope that you enjoy it!!!!!
Have a freaky but fun Trick-or-Treating!

Hi LOVEly readers! It's been a while huh? I am very sorry! I took an awesome trip to LA and Las Vegas for a few days last week! It's been almost 3 years since I last visited LA, and it was my first time to go to Vegas!!!! I had a very memorable and enjoyable trip! I met up for the first time with a few sweet girls from IG (btw, follow my IG @aikaslovecloset, if you haven't yet!), and I was finally able to visit my friend's store in LA, called Moods of Norway!!!! I hope to write a future blog about this adventure because I'd like to share my awesome trip with you! :) 

This look is DEFINITELY one of my favorites from this summer's looks! This camo print skirt is one of the pleasant pieces that I received in my recent Charlotte Russe care package, and I just fell in love with this skirt. How could I not? Camo prints are still hot right now, and I really love how cute this skirt is!!!! I might have bought camo print pants or tops, but I never thought of a skirt! Camo prints tend to create more of an edgy or funky vibe, but this skirt doesn't lose its sweet and endearing style! So, I decided to style it up with a lovely crop top and a baby pink cardigan to accentuate the sweetness even more. I believe that this outfit looks great with OR without the cardigan! As I found out before in my precious other camo look, the combination of red with camo prints is such a great match. Without a doubt, this crop top and camo skirt  go perfectly together!  

To top if off, I mixed it up with studded detail sandals from ALDO (I love them so much!), black folded clutch, and the round mirrored sunglasses from Free People. By adding these three items, I toned things down and infused a touch of sassy without taking away from the overall sweetness of the outfit. 

Thank you very much for the awesome camo skirt, CR!!!! I am in love with it so much! <3

Hope you like/love this sweet camo look!
