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!!
I finally have the chance to show you one of my favorite looks and a favorite photo set done with @Asian_Impressions! I really love how he snapped precious and happy moments so beautifully in each image. We were so lucky to find a glass area with these lovely daisy flowers all over the place and they magically blended into my look as a perfect backdrop for summer.
Who said that you can't wear a knit during this summer season? I snagged this bright orange oversized knit a white ago at ZARA, and seriously I am obsessed with a juicy pop of orange! ZARA is still carrying a lot of vibrant knitwear and I am digging all of them! Even though here in Seattle we've been having such unexpected sunny weather, we still have to accept the gloomy and unhappy climate once in a while. However, when I wear this amazing vivid knit on such days, I become very happy and it keeps me away form the chill at the same time! I colorblocked with lilac skinny jeans and styled them with same hued wedge sandals to elongate my legs. Some people love wearing simple looks such as black and white. I totally understand that and love the style, of course. Yet, wearing bright colors is also something I can't get away from because it's fun, eye-catchy, and very seasonally appropriate. On top of that, it naturally creates pleasant feelings and help you give you more confidence. Don't you think so? I really want to play with more prints, colors, and combinations like these over this summer!
Since the pants are pastel, I went with stacking pastel bracelets and a pastel orange clutch bag. Then, I finalized my look with some silver accessories to give a little bit of an edgy vibe.
I am now teaming up with David Barton Gym for their #LookBetterNaked campaign for three months! I visited there for the first time last Saturday, and WOW! It's the fanciest gym I've ever seen!! I will post a bunch of photo updates such as the inside of the gym, workouts, outfits, and etc on my Instagram (@AikasLoveCloset), so make sure to follow me to keep updated! :) It will be super exciting and I can't wait to see how healthy I will become (and look!) over the next few months!!

Happy Monday LOVEs!
How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?
Today's post is all about mens spring/summer suits! Obviously, I don't wear a mens suit, but I am always so into mens-inspired looks. A tom boy/mannish style, matching trouser suits, oversize blazer, and MORE!!!! I bet you've seen me quite often in those styles, right? Also my total weakness for guys is whoever is rocking a stylish suit! Omg...Whenever I see a guy walking on a street and he dresses so nice in a suit, my eyes are changed to <3 right away just like a manga, then I can't help but look at him more than a few times! To be honest with you, one of the list items for my type is "someone who looks sexy in a suit!" lol Every time I go shopping in downtown, I definitely go checking the mens floor 'JUST' to see men sales reps because they are so freaking hot and sexy and seriously make me wish that they were my boyfriend :p
A few weeks ago, one of my friends asked me where he could get a great suit in order to update his wardrobe. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to answer right away. However, now I know I can answer his question in no time because I found an amazing suit store that you will love as well, called BONOBOS! I hope you have heard of this awesome mens brand. Their suits are definitely something I would love (or force? lol) my boyfriend to wear, and I love the vast amount of super stylish suit selections! I am so sure that guys can look hotter or cooler once they put on BONOBOS suits! Not only do they carry the fashionable suits, also available are awesome Pants, Denim, Shirts, Shorts, and of course MORE! I think this is such a great time to switch up your closet since you don't wanna wear a bulky, dark, and poor-in-air-permeability suit in the hot weather, do you?
BONOBOS is......
A clothing brand focused on delivering great fit, high energy, and superb customer experience. Launched in 2007 on the Internet with its signature line of better-fitting men’s pants, Bonobos is now the largest apparel brand ever built on the web in the United States.
