Outfit: Star Studs Skirt

Just a quick short update on an outfit that I've been wearing to work a lot for the past couple of weeks featuring the stars stud skirt that I bought from YesStyle in this post here. It fits within my work dress code as "office casual" with it looking a bit cutesy but yet still appropriate to wear in an office environment. I actually found this white stripe short 3/4 sleeves sweater at H&M while strolling around in there one day after work. I quite like it. It's actually very form fitting and not as thick as my other winter sweaters that I can actually wear it on the warmer days during spring as well. I also picked up two thin layer skirts at H&M recently that I can wear with this sweater paired with some thin pattern tights for a more spring look! Maybe I'll show another spring version featuring this sweater in another outfit post later. 

Speaking of spring, I'm soooo tired of all the ice and snow we have here in Toronto. I can't wait for the warm weather where I can wear more pastel bright colour clothes and ditch my all black, white and grey outfits. What are you looking forward to in spring? 

Outfit: CO & LU Pink Overall

Hello! It's yet another Sunday. 

I can't even recall what I did this week other than being busy with work and catching up on sleep. I have been so sleep deprived this week that I was having migraines at work everyday. It was soooooo horrible that I felt like my brain was going to explode. I should have maybe took a sick day off work but knowing the workaholic me, I'd still work even when I'm sick of hell unless I'm so sick that I can't even talk or move to get out of my bed.

Sometimes I just need to know my limits and not work so hard that I overwork myself and then regret it later. My body would thank me so much for it but I always somehow talk myself into thinking "I'll be okay, just work harder for 2 more days and then catch up on rest later" But then I feel like I'm going to die later and then I ask myself why do I always do this to myself?! *workaholic issues* Anyone find themselves in the same position where you think you need a break to reboot yourself but yet you don't want to because you think you can manage to get through somehow? Sigh. I just never learn. （−＿−；）

Anyway, I wanted to post about another outfit that I have taken during the Christmas holidays. I know...it is so long overdue! I still have so many pictures on my iPhone that I never finished transferring to my computer to organize them and edit them so that I could post and blog about them. I'm starting to run out of space to take more pictures on my phone too. I seriously need to get a phone with more storage space when I upgrade my phone, lol.

I'm wearing this pink overall from the Japanese brand CO & LU that I have bought from Japan a few years back. I never got to wear this pink overall all that much ever since I got it but it is still one of my favourite item that I have bought. It's just so pink and cute and comfortable to wear! A great outfit to wear for those lazy days when you just want to lounge around at home and do nothing. (▰˘◡˘▰) The pink knit beanie hat is from yesstyle that I also got a few years back. It just happens to match the pink overall so perfectly! o (^‿^✿)

How was everyone's week? I hope it was better than mine.

Outfit: Houndstooth Skirt

Hello, just a quick and short blog post on an outfit that I have submitted for a contest to become an ambassador for a Japanese brand. What brand you ask? I don't know if I should reveal it now or wait until I win the contest or get selected to become an ambassador (which I hope I will) but can you guess from the fashion style and makeup look I am wearing?

I'm wearing the same houndstooth skirt that I got from YesStyle in this post here. It somehow looks bigger on me than it does on the model shown in the pictures and the model is even skinnier than me! o_O I also realized after I was trying to find a top to match this skirt with that I don't have very many tight fitted black tops and this was the only one that I could find in my closet. It fits rather loose on me too so it doesn't quite go well with the skirt since the skirt already looks a bit big on me and it doesn't really flatter my body much and looks as if I have no curves. -___- I need to go shopping for some tight fitted black tops to wear this skirt with. Sigh, the dilemma of getting new clothes because you don't have anything to match them with. >__< 

Anyway, as an ambassador of this Japanese brand, my job would be to promote the brand by writing blog posts about the brand. Anything from the clothes to their makeup, events and special sales, and as well as posting outfits coordinates I put together from the brand's clothing. I would also receive a special discount off their clothes as an ambassador and get to attend their fashion shows in Japan. Omg, free trip to Japan and attend a fashion show, who wouldn't like that?! I am currently still waiting on them to reply back to me if I win or not so please wish me the best of luck! ^____^ 

Winter Cardigans

I have been sooooo busy with life that I have no time for my blog anymore.

Recently started another new job last week because my current one on contract ended and I've been so overwhelmed with training that I'm so exhausted to do anything after I come home every night. I'm looking forward to have a nice long break for the x'mas holiday already!

We're heading into the month of December now and the weather is getting colder. This is when I'm glad to have my winter cardigans to help keep me warm because I don't really have a thick enough winter jacket so I usually end up wearing layers upon layers to keep myself warm. I bought these cardigans a few years back and I'm so glad that I did because they are truly a life saver during the cold winter we have here in Canada. I don't know how I will survive the cold Canadian winter without them. >__<

I got this all white cardigan from YesStyle. It's really thick (one of the thickest cardigans that I own) with rabbit furs so it's super warm! I wear it with another jacket over and it keeps warm when it's like -30 to -40 degree outside. Yes, it can get this cold in Canada where I live. This is why I dread winter so much and especially since I don't have good blood circulation so I tend to feel cold very easily! 

I also got this pink fleece cardigan from YesStyle. It's not as thick as the white one with rabbit furs but it's still good enough to keep me warm. I love how you can also wear this cardigan over a dress to stay warm and still look cute.

The last grey cardigan I got from Japan through nissen which is a website that sells clothing in Japan. It is not as thick as the white rabbit fur one but it's still warm to wear when it's -15 to -20 degree outside layered with a light jacket.   

Sorry I didn't take any pictures of me wearing the cardigans because I absolutely have no time due to my busy work life now so I did it the lazy convenient way of just taking pictures of the cardigans. The last pic is an old photo that I happen to find on my computer taken awhile back but I have a mug face so I covered it up with a heart, lol. 

What do you wear to keep warm during the winter? (If there is winter where you live) 

YesStyle Purchases

Made two orders from YesStyle recently to use some of my coupons and to make good use of my gold elite club member status with 10% off discount before it expires. And I don't think I'll be buying clothes from the site again until summer 2014.

I wanted a more "holiday" sweater to wear for the holiday season and this black polkadots white sweater with gold sequins collar is just perfect!

I wanted to get a few winter skirts to wear because I absolutely dislike wearing pants now. Plus wearing pants actually don't keep my legs warm in the cold winter, especially jeans and my legs feel sooooo cold! This skirt is rather quite thick and it'll keep my legs warm paired with some cotton tights. I wear 2 layers of tights in the winter and they actually keep my legs much warmer than when I'm actually wearing pants. I like how the gold star studs accent on the skirt makes it more interesting and cute!

And lastly I got this houndstooth A-line skirt that will definitely keep me warm! Love how the style is so classic and chic!

Also YesStyle is having a CYBER MONDAY sale with 15% OFF + free shipping on all orders until December 2 for any one who is interested in buying from the site. Just enter the coupon code: cybermonday as instructed. 

Japanese Roomwear: Pink Skull Sweater

I'm a big fan of skull accessories and clothes. Anything with skulls and I am sold! lol. I heart this skull sweater so much. It can be worn as just a normal sweater out with some shorts or skinny jeans but this is how I'd wear it at home for a roomwear coordinate. The pink skull sweater I got from YesStyle a few years back and I paired it up with a tank stripe dress underneath. The heart print slippers with pompoms are from Ardene which matches well with the black and white stripe tank dress and sweater since the inside of the hood is black as well and there's a black skull patch at the front. A more casual, girly and fun roomwear outfit to wear at home to spice up your looks! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Japanese Roomwear: Fleece Sweater & Shorts!

I got this fleece white zip up sweater and shorts from YesStyle a few years back. The slippers with pompoms at the side I found at Aldo Accessories and they happen to match the sweater and shorts perfectly! This is my favourite roomwear pieces to wear of all time. The sweater is really warm and the furs are super soft and don't itch your skin at all. I think the shorts can be a little too short at times though. But other than that, I think this outfit is the perfect roomwear/loungewear to wear at home on a not so cold winter day! (◡‿◡✿)  

YesStyle Purchases

I haven't been actively updating my blog for the past few days and I apologize for that. Usually I would write a few posts and schedule them to be posted throughout the week to keep my blog active. But last weekend I was busy going out with family and friends and this week I was really busy with work and life that I have no time to sit down and make a blog post. I'm starting to feel kind of sick too, so I've been going to bed early to avoid catching a cold. Also, the weather's been getting cold lately and everyone around me is sick. *must bundle up and stay away from people* lol. 

Anyway, I made a few purchases from YesStyle a couple weeks ago and now I'm just waiting for them to be shipped out to me. =D

Furry Minidress from I'Miusa

A simple furry minidress for lazy days when I don't want to think about what to wear. Just put on the dress and throw some boots on and you're ready to go. No effort needed and you can still look cute and girly. =) 

Layered Lace Shorts from CatWorld

I've been wanting to get something like this for the longest time! But everytime I see something similar at a store, they never have my size or it's sold out! 

Scalloped-Hem Belted Skirt from BAIMOMO

I got this to wear for spring actually. I'm always shopping a season ahead, lol. Love the scalloped-hem pattern at the bottom of the skirt and the bow belt is such a cute add on.

Poker cards print nude tights from Clair Fashion 

Got these to wear for the spring as well. Nude tights are really in trend now. I practically see them everywhere on tumblr and in Japanese magazines. I'd love to pair these with some leather skirts! 

Patent Ribbon-Accent Pumps from Smoothie

Got these super cute and adorable white pumps with a ribbon at the back. I bought a white dress sometime ago but I don't have any shoes to match with them and these pumps are just perfect! Love the ribbon detail at the back of the shoes, isn't it just so cute?! They kind of remind me a bit of the shoes from Cinderella except that it's not glass or some pretty and cute shoes from the fairy tales. XD
