Today's outfit of the day, simple and cute! I love these bow details on the jeans. It is very cute and I love the color. The right pictures show the color of the jeans more accurately. If only it was warm enough in NY to wear this out. 

What am I wearing?

Top - A crop top from Hollister. The print says "Keep shining you crazy diamond"

Bottom - Hollow bow skinny jeans from SammyDress

I like to pretend I'm a princess sometimes

(via Instagram @honeydotcakes)

Well.. today I felt like dressing up so I looked at my pile of new clothes that I haven't wore yet and one thing lead to another. This top gave me a royalty vibe and the song Royals by Lorde popped into mind.

"And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler),
You can call me queen Bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy."

Well we can all pretend sometimes. (: 

When I first opened my package and saw this top, I didn't know how to match that with anything since it was too long to be just a top, and too short to be a dress. But then I found my lace-y shorts and what do you know, it goes perfectly well together!

What am I wearing?
Headband - A faux pearl headband purchased from SammyDress
Necklace - Faux pearl with bow necklace from SammyDress 
Top - "Vintage Peter Pan Collar Flower Pattern Slimming Blouse" in Navy Blue from SammyDress
Bottom - Cotton lace shorts from SammyDress
Legs - Knee-high socks
Shoes - "Belanie Booties" in Black from Nine West

Simplistic Timepiece Accessory

Lately I’ve taking an interest in wristwatches with minimalist style. I can’t help but notice Daniel Wellington’s line of time pieces. Their watches look simple and clean, which I absolutely adore. They can be matched with almost any outfit, from a casual T-shirt and jeans to a fashionable blouse and skirt, or even professional attire.

While I love the simple look with just a sleek leather band, there are days when I want to look more edgy with my Daniel Wellington. So what do I do? Just snap on any bracelets that matches the overall outfit and there we go! Adding on bracelet accessories can change the style completely. Like so….

Besides adding different accessories to spice up the look, Daniel Wellington watches have different wrist bands to switch the watch’s style completely.  They sell many different style and colors of bands. I purchased the Grace London which came with a navy blue/burgundy band. I wanted the Classic Sheffield black leather band so I bought that separately and switched the bands. The bands are very easy to switch, just use the pin-like tool that came with the watch to pop the spring off from the watch.

For more reference, search up #dwpickoftheday on Instagram. They feature customer’s photos of their time pieces. 

Chronicles of old OOTDs

Hi! This is my first post in my very first blog! Today I will be posting all my old and very crappy quality OOTD pictures from when I first started posting them on Instagram. Granted, the recent (and probably upcoming) ootd pictures won't be that much of an upgrade in terms of quality. However I will do what I can to improve my pictures. For now please just appreciate and focus of the outfit itself<3

It's funny, looking back at my old ootd pictures (7 months back) there are two "stages" of how I took my pictures.

When I first started, I was vacationing in Hong Kong with my best friend. I asked her to take a simple snap of my daily outfits off from my phone. Some which included horrible selfies (lol).




My second (and current) stage of OOTDs were taken with a cheaply purchased phone-camera remote via Bluetooth. Since I no longer have my best friend living with me, I had to take these pictures myself. They weren't any much better since my house have horrible lighting. I usually have to go on ahead and edit the brightness and other small details in Photoshop.


Hopefully my upcoming outfit posts will be more interesting and higher quality. Until I can afford a better camera other than my phone.. T^T" Please bare with me! In my future posts, I will include what I'm wearing and where it's purchased from (possible with links).

And to end my very first post, here is an picture I took on my vacation to Hong Kong. Be your own fashion icon!
