Today's look is the last and final piece of the EWWITSNIKKI x LULUS collaboration. This racey lacey dress features a flirtatious high low hem with sheer lace panels on the mid section and two stripes on the bottom of the dress. What else can I say about this stunning and very versatile number? Aside from the fact that you can dress this piece however you want to, you can also show a little bit of skin without over doing it.
With today's look I decided to go for the sporty/ edgy look but also bringing a hint of sophistication along with it by adding the beaded statement necklace that I have on. I also decided to wear a black beanie while tossing all of my hair on one side once more to show off my side cut and finishing the entire look off by sportin' my new Isabel Marant inspired sneaker wedge that I got from Target a couple of days ago.

[Look #3] "Grade-y Bunch" ft. LULU*S

Studded neon orange side body bag- Steve Madden I Black statement necklace- Charlotte Russe I
Rose gold boyfriend watch- eBay I Bracelets- Veeve, Philippines & F21

This dress features a gradient black and white stripe pattern that is definitely in fashion this season. Aside from the fact that is it's extremely comfortable, this dress is also very light weight and perfect for this California weather (over 80-90 degree weather) The sleeves also gives the dress and extra oomph of sophistication which is absolutely adore. Anyway, I ended up dressing this dress up by adding a statement necklace, a pair of white wayfarers to add to the gradient-ness of the ensemble and of course adding this studded neon orange sling bag for a slight hint of color.

It's fun yet sophisticated which I absolutely love! The print on this dress is not as bold as the previous look but it's still out there in a more subtle way. I also decided to wear this amazing vintage collar necklace from EE and topped the entire ensemble with this bright red linen blazer to add a huge burst in color along side a bunch of others.

Hey loves, I know that it has been a while...actually a really long time since I've last blogged to be exact and I sincerely apologize for that. Anyway, here's my blog comeback! with the following few blog posts this month till the next, I have actually partnered up with LULU*S aka Lulus.com where I would post 4 different spring dresses every week for all of you guys. So, hopefully you like this concept as much as I do.

Today's look features a very cute, light and refreshing floral dress that comes in three-quarter length sleeves. I decided to style this dress by singeing the waist with a thick gold chain-mail belt to emphasize somewhat of a figure rather than just a straight and boxy look. The accessories are very minimal but with a hint of gold in each of them. And, of course, I paired these nice pair of open toe high rise heels with the dress to give the ensemble a more feminine and classy feel to it.

IT'S FUN, FEMININE & VERY SPRING MATERIAL!

Go Vintage for Prom

noreply@blogger.com (Nikki) — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 10:41:00 +0000

- A-line high neck floor length chiffon zipper prom dress c/o EDRESSY.COM
- Lace patterned waist belt from Romwe

I got this gorgeous dress in the color lavender and what I love about the Edressy site is that they custom make the dress to fit every curve of your body. So, they basically took my bust, waist, hip measurement as well as my height & weight. Now isn't that great? a dress that is tailor made to fit you exactly how you want a dress to fit you?

Also, I was quite surprised with the quality because it was actually made fairly well & I love the flowy chiffon material that came along with this dress. The pleats were also a major plus because it added the vintage feel to it.

Now, even though I graduated high school about 6 years ago, if I could ever go back again in time, I would definitely rock this dress to my senior prom.

Insta-segment vol.1

noreply@blogger.com (Nikki) — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 01:26:00 +0000

Hey loves!
So, I thought I'd add this little segment in my blog since I know I don't update on personal style posts as often as I should. But anyway, I hope you like my photos! I update my instagram a whole lot since it's very convenient and I could just take photos (outfit of the days, ie.) with the self timer on my Samsung Galaxy.

So, the first 7 photos are pretty much self explanatory since they are all pictures of my outfits. The first photo on the 2nd row (wearing blue dolman sweater w/ leopard print on the sleeves) is from OASAP.com Isn't it very cute though?

The following photo on the 3rd row is just a picture of this super yummy crepes that I had for my 25th birthday. I'm not much of a cake person so my siblings thought that we could just have some crepes instead since it's less sweet :) --considering the fact that I don't really have a sweet tooth. Crazy, I know!

Next photo is a picture of my little brother and I. We're 3 years apart so he's 22 now and I'm currently 25. He's also a LCpl. in the Marine Corps. ---He's in Afghanistan at the moment too :( But he'll be returning back to Japan early December, so I'm very much relieved about that.

The first photo on the 4th and last row is just a self picture... kind of like an obligatory daily photo haha! Next is a pic of a few models that I helped style and dress for this Fashion show for British designer and Sacramento local, Caren Templet. The last photo is a picture of the very spicy cucumber kimchi that my little sister and I made. It's so good but incredibly and ridiculously spicy and with spicy I mean like hell in your mouth spicy. haha!

Anyway, hope you guys like this little insta-segment. ^^
So, if you haven't followed me already, please do so if you want. I mostly post pictures that are either fashion related and a couple or few conceited photos along with some food pics in the mix + a little bit of everything else in between.

So, if you have an instagram....feel free to follow me!

This season is all about the wild prints! In today's outfit, I decided to mix my super sassy leopard printed button up top from Style Carnage along with my thrifted tangerine tango cardigan and paired those with my forever 21 black skinnies and neon yellow pumps. Super easy look! I also decided to add on a simple gray beanie to make the look a bit more casual rather than a tad dressy.

It has been exactly a week since I have last blogged and for that I sincerely apologize. It has been crazy busy due to school and I have also been preoccupied on some out of school work. Anyway, today's look is nothing particularly special, but I am rocking my JC Spiked Litas again! It has been so long since I have last worn them out and it was already starting to collect dust on my shoe cubbie.
Also, last week I turned 25 o_O I know, I know! some of you might think I look a lot younger than that, but I guess a lot of that is because of my Asian genes. LMAO! Which I am somewhat thankful for except for the times I get carded for the weirdest reasons like watching a rated R movie or buying medication or sharpie markers. haha! It is strange but it is what it is :)

FALL in love with stripes

Claw cuff c/o OASAP I Multichain bracelet- F21 I Purple Goddess ring c/o Lotus Mendes I Boulder ring- F21 I

FASHION FOCUS: TOUCH OF STRIPE
In today's outfit, it consists of this beautiful wine wrap dress paired with a simple but chic stripe blazer. In my honest opinion, everyone should have their very own pair of stripe blazer, or any type of printed blazer for that matter. It not only completes your look but it adds more depth to your entire ensemble.
This season, don't be afraid to wear your colors and prints out as often as you would like because "trends" are just merely a fashion guide, it's not meant to be followed entirely. As cliche as it sounds, some fashion rules are just meant to be broken. You don't have to settle for dull and boring colors this season just because it's cold. Mix your prints, add a splash of color to your outfit and over accessorize if you want to. Trends for the season might dictate the fashion world, but only yourself could dictate your own personal style ;)

Today's weather was probably the biggest sign that the autumn season has begun...finally! It was around low 50's today and it was not only gloomy but also rainy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do love and enjoy the rain, just as long as I'm indoors and I'm not the one getting soaked. However, in today's case, it was the exact opposite because I was not only outdoors, but I was getting wet as well =/ However, with that aside, today's outfit is incredibly comfy, grungy and colorful.
I've been loving mixing and matching colors for a long time now since I'm not a black and white type of girl. So, in this ensemble, I decided to pair my gargantuan of a cardigan with my neon green beanie. Knits on knits are perfect for this cold weather!!! I'm also wearing my favorite studded shorts but of course, I'm wearing knit tights to give me that extra warmth.
Overall, I must say, this has to be one of my favorite outfits. ---I don't know why but lately I've been into beanies, maybe because it matches with the style of my hair or what? But yeah, I digress! Today's look, is not only super warm but you can say it's also pretty on point with last seasons trends. LMAO!

Dress Styles for Winter 2012/2013

noreply@blogger.com (Nikki) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 05:58:00 +0000

Top Dress Styles for Winter 2012/2013

Another new season is upon us and it’s time to start putting all the dainty and barely-there summer frocks, skirts and sandals to the back of the wardrobe and replace them with a sturdier stock of winter clobber.

The arrival of a new season, for some, is an excuse to hit the shops and update an out of style wardrobe. Dresses, naturally, are an important part of any season style and none more so than the party-filled festive season.

If you’re looking to update last year’s dresses with this year’s then you may want to take a look at the top dress style of winter 2012/2013.

Bring on the Belt

The winter 2012/2013 season is all about belts and no fashion item lends itself quite as neatly to the buckled look better than a dress. Demure winter dresses that hug the figure dramatically and, with a thick pair of tights clearly visible, create a sophisticated and chic winter look, can be glamorized considerably by the addition of a belt.

This season’s belts are all about enhancing close-fitting, structured, sophisticated and edgier designs and will make a fantastic feature for all those forthcoming parties.

Black and Blue Dresses

We cannot deny that classic black dresses never fail to make their way onto the high street in one guise or another during the winter season. Although this season’s classic black dress has taken on a novel twist with the addition of navy blue detailing. From black and blue stripes to predominantly black with dramatic fusions of blue running through, the season’s must have classic party dress is a fusion of two of the most wearable colours in the fashion world. Hooray!

Leopard Skin

There is nothing quite as eye-catching as when a lady walks through a bar dressed in a leopard skin dress. Leopard skin, in all its forms, is back with a vengeance this season, and if you want to make a dramatic statement this winter then be sure to make a leopard skin dress part of your wardrobe.

Longer length leopard skin dresses are particularly fashionable this season and are being accompanied with a pair of sturdy knee-high boots – the ultimate fashion statement for the coming winter months.

Winter Whites

If a black and blue striped dress doesn’t take your fancy, then you may be more inclined to adopt the more virginal and floating white winter look.

This year’s winter whites are moving away from neutral and safe fashion and are becoming larger than life as designers are mixing pure and pristine white winter dresses with soft creams and bold colours to make a striking fashion statement.

FASHION FOCUS: HIGH WAIST LEGGINGS
High waist bottoms basically lifts, tones and makes your legs incredibly elongated, which is why I love it! However, the only flaw you'll get from wearing high waist leggings is that it might showcase unnecessary bumps and lumps that you are trying to conceal. On a much lighter note, high waist bottoms will not only elongate your legs but will also make your bum look firmer. HA! now, isn't that all we really want ladies?
Anyway, in today's look, I am rocking these awesome high waist disco leggings along with a floral print chiffon button up top with a pair of Lady Gaga-esque heel less platforms. Now, this looks is definitely an understatement, even Lady Gaga herself might take a second look.

I don't know if you noticed on my last post, but I was actually complaining about the over 90 degree weather here in California and I guess mother nature heard my constant complaint and gave us Californians the rightful weather for this month. And, boy am I soooooo ecstatic about it!
Today, I was able to wear this super adorable dress that I got from lajupettefashion.com it's a great dress to wear for a girls night out or something but I wasn't going to have any of those for a while since I am crazy busy so I decided to just dress this dress down by pairing it with some combat boots and a furry vest and blazer. It's actually a pretty awesome fall transitional look since it's not entirely all that cold yet.

Also, here's a holiday event window that me and my Visual Merchandising team worked on. What do you guys think? We used paper ornaments and mounted them on foam boards to create dimension.

(Got these adorable sandals for such a great deal! it was only less that $20 at Sammy Dress & come to think of it, the quality is pretty good as well, which makes me a very happy camper!!!)

In today's look, I just decided to wear this pretty awesome reclaimed floral silk dress along with a knit cardi & sandals. It's crazy because usually around this time (early October) it gets a little chilly and starts to to pour a bit already, but none of that has happened thus far. This global warming or whatever it is that's going on with the climate changes, or rather lack of change is seriously messing with my transitional to fall fashion lol! Needless to say, California is still stuck on that "spring wardrobe" weather. Although, I'm very much looking forward to fall already, there's really nothing we can do to dictate mother nature to maybe fast forward the season already.

Stackable chevron rings, Gold boulder ring- F21 I Wooden beads- Veev I Juicy Couture friendship bracelet

There is nothing subtle about today's outfit. I wanted to go neon on neon with both my top and my footwear, so I decided to wear white skinny jeans rather than a dark wash denim or even dark leggings. This then, allows the entire ensemble to look rather sophisticated without necessarily wearing "formal wear." I also used gold tone accessories to give the outfit an overall classy yet clean appeal.

For tonight's look I decided to wear this beautiful abstract floral maxi skirt along with a denim "bustier" like top and just singeing the waist with a thrifted vintage elastic waist belt. I also brought along with me this awesome crocheted & lace cardigan, perfect for the night time as it is starting to get a little bit chilly nowadays. Overall, like always I decided to go for a look that combines both comfort, sensibility and style. hehe!

(Now mind you, I am about 5'2 without heels and tonight I was wearing heels that are about 4 inches, which makes me roughly about 5'6ft. and yet she still towers over me by well, A LOT! hehe!)

I was incredibly humbled yet again to meet such amazing, genuine and successful people in the fashion industry. Tonight's event was my 3rd time and yet every time, I was completely blown away by the passion and how hard these people work on their own trade. I am beyond impressed on how they were able to build up their own brand and still able to keep their feet grounded.

Today's ensemble mainly consists of Joan & Jesula by Lorrain Tayne accessories. I tried wearing more subtle colors to make sure my multi-stand coral necklace stands out. However, with the subtlety of my outfits color palette aside, I decided to boost up the amo, texture wise.
Here you could see my beautiful lace top which contrasts but complements with the woven texture of my purse. Also, along with "darkness" from both my blazer and leggings, it showcases the bright coral necklace a lot more.
Anyway, I really love today's outfit because it looks very modern chic. The blazer adds sophistication while the nude spiked wedges makes it a little edgy and the necklace brings more of a playful side to the entire look.

FASHION FOCUS: BOYFRIEND BLAZER
Blazers are a great piece to wear to make something so simple and casual appear more well thought of and put together. In this look, I'm just wearing a regular print tee with the words "Museum Craft Design" which came in a goodie bag from a fashion show that I went to in San Francisco earlier this year. I then paired it with my favorite dark wash skinnies and navy oxford heels. I also added this stripe silk scarf that I thrifted a couple of years ago to just add a subtle pop of color to my outfit.
Since this California weather is barely transitioning to the fall season, blazers are a perfect item to keep you warm in the day and night time without making you incredibly stuffy.

Lazy, Comfy, Cozy

Red nautical chiffon scarf- Forever 21 I Orange beanie- thrifted I Sunglasses- Fashion Dist., LA

Today was another lazy day! I seriously did not feel like getting out of bed, but of course I had to. So, instead of worrying about what to wear and take my time, I just decided to go for the obvious choice with a huge shirt, and when I say huge, I meant to way was gargantuan. Seriously, this shirt is so huge but I love it for many reasons and one of them is because it is super comfortable. Plus, I hate shirts that are too tight on my body as I feel extremely constricted in them. But, I digress! Along with this shirt, I am of course wearing, what else? leggings!!! Leggings are like my go-to when it comes to comfy bottoms and I don't care what all of you anti-leggings people think ;)
I also brought along this chiffon anchor print scarf for a little pop of color in my outfit as well as my go-to thrifted orange beanie which I stole/ borrowed from my little sister. Then, I just put on my finge Minnetonka boots and I was out the door just in time for class.

"Spring" cleaned even though it's technically not Spring anymore. Nonetheless, I decided to snap a quick photo of my tiny collection. I am seriously thinking of getting a bigger storage/organizer for all of these babies. I am running out of room in my own room >_< (and I didn't even realized that I have this much black shoes until I lined it up in order of color)

FASHION FOCUS: WEDGE SNEAKERS
The entire fashion world became addicted to this whole wedge sneaker combo this season. Because not only are they extremely comfortable but they are also incredibly stylish. They give you that super casual feel to your look but at the same time, it also gives you that little boost of height, for those of us shorties out there. I love how these can be worn with jeans, mini dresses, even some maxi dresses as well as skirts and short, you name it! These wedge sneakers will totally dress your ensemble down if you feel like you're a little over dressed for such a casual occasion. Nonetheless, I would say that this whole wedge-sneaker trend is a double thumbs up in my fashion book and definitely gets my vote.

What do you think about this wedge sneaker trend that's going on? Love it? or Hate it?

Today's Sunday Chic look consists of a pleated collared top that I bought from Romwe.com paired with a high waist dark wash denim skirt and some spiked nude pumps. Since the colors are all a little neutral I decided to add a pop of color by using my yellow skinny waist belt.
This look is extremely feminine but the spikes on my heels add a bit of edge to it. It's sophisticated and modest at the same time. This look can be worn on Sundays for church or dinner parties.

CAMPAIGN: Rescue animals by shopping

ADVERT

I know this may be a whole different topic considering the fact that my blog is entirely dedicated to fashion and my personal style. However, I being an animal lover and an advocate to such causes, I decided to dedicate this one post to a special charity that will combine both fashion and my love for animals. This special organization is called Rescue Paw Foundation and they are currently teaming up with Threadflip.com for a special week to raise funds by shopping for designer brands at up to 70% off and the best thing about it all is that 100% of the proceeds will benefit the Rescue Paw Foundation as well as the shelters and rescue animals all over the US.

The last day to shop is tomorrow,

September 16, 2012; 12am PST.

So, please help and show your support for this special cause because if you aren't aware of the stats, every year in the U.S., between 9 to 11 million animals die in shelters and many more are abandoned by their owners each day. It's such a sad sad truth and knowing this, it really just breaks my heart considering the fact that I too have 2 loving dogs.

Both Nash (pomeranian-chihuhahua) & Chloe (yorkie-schnauzer) are sort of like rescue dogs. We bought Nash through pennysaver for $100, and when we got him, he was filled with ticks, fleas and had worms =/ and my dad found Chloe in the streets. However, these two amazing loves of my life has brought so much joy and happiness in our home and I could not imagine our lives without them.

So, please show your support by shopping!!!

Some brands include, Chloe, Pour la Victoire, Topshop, H&M, Hudson, Bebe, Michelle and more.

Seafoam speckled ruffle dress- Lovemode I Cutout detail lace insert cardigan- OASAP I Minnetonka fringe boots I
Black & gold watch- Ebay I Yellow bolo cord bracelet- Ettika I Juicy Couture friendship bracelet I Veev bracelet

Today was just a semi-casual day..didn't really feel like worrying too much about what to wear so I just happened to grab this particular dress and threw on this amazing cardigan that is perfect even in the summer as it has all these glorious little cut outs. It's also such a light material that whatever you pair it with, it would actually make it look a lot more comfy and less dressy.
