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 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??
