Wow! It's already November... Can you believe that this year will be almost over in a month or so? November is also my birthday month :) I just turned into 27 six days ago...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!
Some people complain about getting older, and I used to do the same. However, I am now very thrilled to be againg because I certainly know that my future will be filled with lots of amazing new adventures and I will be experiencing thousands of wonderful things!!!! I really can't wait to see what my life is going to be like when I will be celebrating my 30th birthday. Hopefully, I will be shining as a great and confident woman!!!! Also, I am hoping to get married and have a kid by then! lol

I got these fabulous short suits back in August from Aritzia, and I immediately loved it so much!  They are tailored using a luxurious brocade fabric from Italy. I adore the light yellow with a bit of silver color and the artsy paisley patterns, yet they are not emphasized too much. The shorts are pull-on so easily and comfortably put on.  I'd been looking for a perfect pair of suit in forever, but I didn't have fortune to buy a pair because everything I found was out of my budget. So I was super happy to buy them at the great discounted price! The suit set is such a versatile piece. You can wear the jacket and short separately of course. Depending on how you style them, suits can be worn in dress-up or dress-down. If you mix them up with fall and winter items such as turtle neck tops, tights, scarfs, long boots, etc... you can still wear them for a long time of period, just like I did for today's post. I am really digging a check/tartan patterned suit!!!

Although it was a sunny day, it got quite chilly when the wind blew. So I topped one of my favorite coat I picked up from H&M this season. I am obsessed with the quilted sleeves and the color so badly! There are a lot of trends I've been dying to try out, and wearing the coat/jacket over the shoulders have been ranked in the top 5... Rather than wearing it fully, it makes the look chicer and elevates your charming status even more. I was also inspired by the street snaps from all over the world to add a cross body bag underneath the coat. It's cute and functionable at the same time because your hands are fully open! lol  

Since I wanted to make the ensemble look a bit casually, I added a simple beanie and mirrored sunglasses. The stunning rhinestone ear cuff (BUY IT HERE!!) is my timeless-addiction piece that can definitely upgrade my look funner and more eye-catchy! I've grabbed so many people's attention thanks to it!


Have a great weekend loves!

Hi LOVEs!!!! Hope you all had an amazingly fun Halloween and a fabulous weekend!

I wore this outfit to the rag & bone event that I was invited to a month ago, and I asked my awesome photographer Justin Swain to snap these pictures at one of my favorite locations in Seattle. After all, I really love this outfit and wanted to have professional photographs taken against a metro background. To top if off, when I went to the event, I was given a bunch of random compliments on my ensemble! I was very flattered!


Since the event was a cocktail party, I didn't want to attend the party wearing just ordinary clothes. No way! I decided to dress up in a sophisticated tomboy style, which turned out to be very effective at catching people's eyes!!! If you know me well, you would know that I normally prefer to wear colors. However, I tried to keep this outfit as monotone as possible so that it retains a classy and polished look.
This really cute windowpane chiffon shirt that I recently picked up from Forever 21 is just a killer. It's one of the trendy items for fall and winter, and I was quite taken by this trend when I read the article at WhoWhatWear.com. Windowpane prints are a very simple motif, yet once you add them in your look, you can't help but create a classic and chic vibe.. What an amazing print! I was very happy to run into it!
Additionally, because the blazer and the pants are quite plain, adding this shirt adds a bit of flair to the ensemble. Add to that the crystal jewelry to frame my face and the bright rouge lipstick and I got something that looks dressy with a bit of flair!


To strengthen the tomboy vibe, I put on a trilby hat and tucked my hair into the hat, which really added the boyish charm. Then I added a pair of suspenders... all of a sudden I saw how suspenders can make the look more interesting and fun! This look could have been too formal and ordinary without them...


I am normally quite hesitant to wear wide trousers like I wore in this post. I am not very tall and my legs are on shorter side, so I can look even shorter with these types of pants. It becomes very unbalanced-looking. However, I found an amazing solution.
"Wear a pair of platform heels and let the hem down over the heels!!!"
As you see in the pictures, my heels are fully covered by the hem of the pants.  That way I look 5 inches taller (YAY), and my silhouette is much nicer.


Did you like my dressy tomboy style? I hope you do!
It's fun to dress up with mannish items! :)

Have a great day loves! <3
