DOTTED PANTS.


Shirt - Abercrombie & Fitch
Pants - Forever21
Bag - LuLu
Shoes - H&M

I'm a self-proclaimed snoozeaholic (if it's not a real word, it totally should be). Mornings and I don't exactly see eye to eye, but I can't escape the fact that early risings are a necessary evil for things like, you know, classes and adulting. Thank the universe that I managed to dodge those 7:30 AM classes this semester—THANK YOU, UNIVERSE! Despite my best intentions, I snoozed a tad longer than planned today, and I had to resort to the "grab whatever's in the closet and dash to class" routine. Fingers crossed it doesn't turn into my daily ritual like last semester.

Now, let's talk fashion! A few weeks back, I stumbled upon these classic black and white polka dot pants at Forever21. They were showcased on a mannequin, and my heart literally did a little happy dance. Thankfully, a helpful sales rep managed to track down one of the last two pairs they had left, and guess what? I practically had hearts in my eyes and the cheesiest grin on my face when she handed me my size. I might not have looked as cute as an anime character, but the excitement level was off the charts, if you catch my drift!

Fast forward to yesterday, and I found myself strolling into H&M. I intended to buy just the leather vest but, oh boy, you know how it goes. I walked out with the vest and a bunch of other things I can't even remember (probably items I don't really need). I couldn't resist, so I returned to H&M today for the pair of pants I mentioned earlier. Everything about them, the colors, the patterns, you name it, it all looked perfect...until I tried them on. My inner shopaholic struck again, and I left the store with not just the pants but also a shirt with fringes (fringes aren't even my usual jam), a hat, a men's tie, and a maxi dress that's quite the head-turner. It's a classic case of falling for the store's tricks. Has that ever happened to you guys? Share your stories in the comments below.

Wishing you all an amazing weekend, and, as always, a heartfelt thank you for dropping by my blog.

Peace! 😄🛍️💕

WHITE LINES.


Top - H&M 
Bottom - Abercrombie & Fitch

Necklace - Betsey Johnson
Boots - H&M


Happy Friday, lovely readers! I can't express how much I've missed connecting with all of you. Over the past few days, I've been wishing every morning not to wake up looking like a zombie, just so I can snap some pics to share. Unfortunately, I've been battling a stubborn cold/allergy combo lately, and if it doesn't get better by next week, I might just have to pay a visit to my trusty doctor.

In the meantime, I've been pampering my skin with extra moisturizers, especially around my nose area, and opting for long sleeves to stay cozy. Today, I'm excited to showcase this oversized striped shirt, which happens to be a sheer gem that I can wear in so many delightful ways. I've layered a black cami underneath, making it school-appropriate. Plus, since it's oversized, I decided to tie the bottom around my waist to create a flattering silhouette.

I've been inseparable from this fabulous bag lately; I swear I'll use it until it practically falls apart. It fits my 13" Mac, sketchbook, tablet, and basically my entire life – talk about versatility!

Now, let's chat about these boots. I had some mixed feelings about them at first. Firstly, I used to detest anything that required lacing up, because, let's be real, I'm all about that efficiency, especially when trying on outfits in the mall (hence my preference for flats during shopping sprees – I might have mentioned that before). Secondly, they're higher than what I'm used to, and I was a bit intimidated by the idea of strutting around in them.

But here's the twist: I've fallen head over heels in love with these boots. They're incredibly comfortable and perfect for running around in – yes, I did say "run around." If you're on the lookout for a pair of sky-high yet oh-so-cozy platform booties, look no further. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Oh, and speaking of shopping, guess what? H&M is currently offering a fantastic 15% discount for all students and teachers, simply by flashing your school ID. Hurry, though, because this offer ends TODAY (August 30)!!! Treat yourself to a new pair of pants or whatever your heart desires, because you absolutely deserve it. I, for one, am heading back to H&M today to snag those super stretchy pants.

Wishing you a delightful shopping experience at H&M and hoping you have a truly awesome day ahead!

Peace, love, and fabulous fashion! 😊🛍👢👜💕

MY BOYFRIEND.


Top - Forever21

Jeans - Michael Kors
Bracelet - BCBG MaxAzria
Belt - Gucci
Bag - ALDO
Shoes - BCBGeneration

Happy Saturday! I had an absolute blast last night and, as a result, I found it a bit challenging to crawl out of bed this morning. But for this weekend's relaxed and effortlessly chic look, I've opted for a simple t-shirt and my favorite pair of jeans. This trusty t-shirt has been a part of my wardrobe for a few years, though I've only worn it twice before today. I just couldn't bear to part with it, thanks to the charming text it proudly displays.

Now, about this Gucci belt, it started off as a gift for my boyfriend, but he's not a fan of wearing it. Since we pretty much share the same body size, I've happily adopted it into my outfit. Sometimes, I'll even 'borrow' a few of his loose-fit tees, because who can resist a cozy and oversized shirt from time to time?

Fort Wayne has a delightful festival happening today, and word on the street is that there will be some scrumptious food involved. I'm definitely going to swing by and check it out, hoping to tantalize my taste buds with some mouthwatering treats. Here's to hoping your day is just as eventful and full of fun!

Sending you all the good vibes and a big, warm hug. Peace!

SHEER DAY.


Top - H&M
Skirt - BCBG MaxAzria


Shoes - Zara
Bag - Michael Kors

When I slip into sheer tops, I can't help but add a bandeau or a full coverage bra underneath for that touch of charm without going overboard. Sheer tops are an absolute blast to wear – they offer a tantalizing peek of skin and keep you feeling fresh during the summer, while they can also be layered up for a fabulous fall look. I've chosen to wear this one to celebrate my friend's birthday, and I've tied the bottom to give it a touch of class, with just the right amount of casual chic.

And how about this MK bag? It's like a whisper of sleek and chic style! I'm totally in love with it.

Alright, it's time to party! Catch you soon!

Peace, love, and fabulous fashion!

LEATHER ADDICTION.


Jacket - Wilson
T-shirt - Hanes
Skirt - H&M
Shoes - Zara


Bag - Calvin Klein

Summer isn't over just yet, but I've already caught myself dressing for fall. Oh, leather – what can I say about it? It's a wardrobe essential that works for almost every season. You can effortlessly style it with dresses, shorts, skirts, well, pretty much anything, and it never goes out of style – like, ever! 😄 Hopefully, I'll find the time to sneak in a quick shopping trip to Indy or Chicago before heading back to school next week.

Since I'm mixing faux leathers and real ones, I decided to pair them with a comfy cotton t-shirt. Not only does the cotton fabric help beat the heat, but it also adds a relaxed, casual vibe to the outfit. Oh, and I couldn't resist rolling up the sleeves for that extra touch of personality. White tees, they're as basic as it gets but a total all-season staple, right?

Now, let me spill a secret – this new bag is technically my sister's...I may or may not have convinced her to buy it, so I get to borrow it. 😉 I'm in love with how soft it feels, and those pockets, they're like little space expanders! Plus, the quilted details and that zipper all around the bag – pure perfection.

Maybe I should consider going back to florals and bright colors soon. What do you think of this look? Let me know your thoughts!

Peace out! ✌️

X-WOMAN


Dress - H&M
Blazer - H&M

Sunglasses - (some small boutique from Canada)
Necklace - Forever21
Boots - H&M

Happy Wednesday! There are those days when I just feel like dressing up, and it's not always for a special occasion. Most of the time, my outfit choices are driven by my mood rather than the event. Today, I had initially planned to wear a skirt, but after receiving a package from H&M, I couldn't resist this comfy jersey dress. To add a touch of pizzazz, I paired it with some high platform booties and a stylish blazer. The transformation was instant, turning my casual dress into something special.

I have a little game I play with myself where I try to sum up my posts in just two words for the title. I pondered over options like "X strips," "X mark," "black stripes," and "vertical illusion." Then it hit me - X-Men! High heels really do give us ladies a kind of superpower; they make us walk taller and feel sexier, don't they? So, I decided to call this post "x-woman."

Stay fabulous, and enjoy your day! 😊

GOT WINGS?

Dress - H&M
Earrings - H&M



Bag - Anne Klein
Heels - Zara

I wore this outfit for a dinner date with my boyfriend, although we eat out all the time, so I wonder if it still qualifies as a "date"! Lately, I've been doing a lot of shopping, and I'm eagerly awaiting my online orders from H&M, which should arrive today—so excited! I visited the H&M store yesterday and treated myself to a pair of lace-up booties for the fall season, and I also managed to score some other goodies. But you know what? Even with all these new additions, I always feel like I have nothing to wear. Can any of you relate to that? I'm all about finding great deals and avoiding paying full price, unless, of course, I fall in love at first sight. I'm working on breaking those "love at first sight" habits, though. My heart flutters when I spot red tags and SALE signs; it's hard to resist a good bargain!

Now, back to the outfit! Since I knew I'd be indulging in delicious food, I opted for this comfortable, worry-free dress. It allows me to eat to my heart's content without fretting about looking bloated afterward—a smart choice, right? A lovely lady I didn't know even stopped me to compliment my look, which was such a sweet surprise =^.^=

My new favorite bag, in case I haven't mentioned it before, was a steal, so I can wear it every day without worrying about wear and tear. It adds a touch of elegance to any outfit, probably because of the chic chain that resembles Chanel. Oh, and did you notice my awesome wing earring with a cuff? It was a fantastic find at only $5.95. I love it because it's so unique, even though taking it out can be a bit tricky. I hope you enjoyed this look, and I'll be back with more soon!

Peace! 🌼

MY ROSES.


Dress - BCBG MaxAzria

Shorts - Hollister (Not shown)

Headband - Forever21

Bag - Jason Wu

Shoes - BCBGeneration

I wasn't feeling my best yesterday, and honestly, I just didn't want to leave my cozy bed. But look at me now – feeling much better and ready to share today's fun and sweet outfit with you! 😊

For today's look, I've chosen to embrace some nostalgia by wearing my beloved mini dress and a trusty pair of old wedges. The dress is made of cool, comfy cotton, perfect for beating the heat. Since it's on the shorter side, I decided to wear shorts underneath for that extra freedom of movement.

Can we talk about this adorable rose headband? It's absolutely precious and adds a touch of charm to the outfit. While I'm usually all about statement necklaces, I didn't feel the need for one today – sometimes simplicity just wins the day.

Sending you all the peace and good vibes! ✌️

#OOTD UPDATE.

Top - Forever21
Jacket - Wilson
Pants - BCBG MaxAzria
Necklace - Forever 21
Rings - Forever21
Bracelets - 18K Gold 
Bag - Michael Kors
Shoes - Miu Miu

Happy Friday, everyone! I just wrapped up a year-long vacation from my job to focus on my hectic school schedule, and yesterday marked the end of it. I truly enjoyed working there and, with fingers crossed, I hope to continue with the same company next year if they have openings. Even though classes haven't officially started yet, I've been feeling a bit anxious about juggling everything. Besides my passion for food and fashion, I'm also absolutely obsessed with getting good grades. When it comes to handling all those pressures, I tend to freak out easily, so I'm relieved to at least have one thing checked off my to-do list.

Now, let's talk about these amazing pants I'm wearing today! They're incredibly stretchy, super comfortable, and I adore the chic zipper details on the legs. The material they're made of is just fantastic. I'm sorry I've rolled them up a bit, so you can't see them in all their glory, but I promise I'll show them off in a different outfit next time. I actually picked up both these leggings and the top during my previous trip to Chicago. I went for an all-black and white ensemble with a touch of gold to add some flair. I opted for a printed bralette, which adds a fun and playful element without being too provocative. As for these sunglasses, I'm not entirely convinced they're my style, but since I already bought them, might as well put them to good use, right? I hope you all have a fantastic Friday, and I can't wait to catch up with you soon!

Peace and love! 😊
