Jungle Fever

I went into Zara the other day and bought a shirt mainly because it reminded me of my dog, Coco.  It is a lion with a funky nerdy glasses as the center design.  What better way to pair up a lion then with zebra prints and a jungle green jacket!   Here's my OOTD!

YSL haul

Happy Friday everyone! I wanted to share with you all my latest makeup haul from YSL.  YSL's newest foundation is called Le Teint Touche Eclat Foundation.  It's key point - illuminating foundation with weightless perfection and also sunscreen. Basically it's their foundation version of their fabulous Touche Eclat.  

Rouge Volupte Silky Lipstick & Le Teint Touche Foundation

The reason why I wanted to try this new foundation was because it has all the necessary elements for the perfect foundation for the summer (weightless, illuminating, and sunscreen).  I'll give an update on my verdict next week! 

My other two purchases are also my Mio's favorite as well.  It's the Rouge Volupte Silky Lipstick.  I purchased number 1(natural beige)  and 7 (Lingerie Pink).  

Right now, if you sign up for YSL Beauty US mailing list (click here), you receive a 10% off for a week on any beauty purchase.  

What's your favorite product from YSL Beauty Line?

Alexander McQueen meet my gold swag!

Sorry for my delayed post, I actually went to Omiya City today, which is my neighboring Prefecture. Omiya station has many department stores and rite now they are having a MASSIVE season end SALE to get rid of the summer styles (I know, already??? summer has just begun!)
In Vancouver the so called season end sales are WEAK! They take the tax off and that's about it.
BUT HERE IN JAPAN it is NUTS almost every store is 50% to 70% off,  no joke! you actually see people shoving and pushing to snatch their fav. item!

MY fav. purchase today was this GOLD shirt, it is simple but the fabric that is slightly transparent, iridescent and great fit just SOLD ME!

Gold clothing has been consistently IN since the Egyptian/Roman days where they wore Gold fabrics and jewelry to show their wealthy status. That's why no matter how casual the apparel, it has a luxurious feel.

I paired my gold shirt (sorry for the bad picture it was really hard to capture the beautiful GOLD hue, BOO) with my Alexander McQueen scarf, the skull print and the gold is slightly counteracting; gives it originality!

gold shirt: United Arrows
sunnies: Gucci
scarf: Alexander McQueen
Clutch: YSL

What kind of GOLD garment do you have in your closet?

chic Graphic - Teeee

I feel like I keep on repeating the same topic about how HOT it is IN JAPAN, but it is THAT HOT.

And as much as I want to wear a nice silk blouse with a flow-y skirt, once I get out of the shower and feel the heat a cute COTTON graphic-tee with some bad ass shorts is all I want to wear!

but not JUST ANY graphic - tee, one that you can dress up or down.

such as a character tee, like the one I bought the other day.

I put together an outfit but sadly the only one that I own is the tee-shirt, (boo) I guess the rest will have to wait for another shopping day!

tee-shirt: disney
bracelet: cartier
ring: YSL
bag: Alexander Wang diego bucket bag
Sandels: Balenciaga
sunnies: ray ban
shorts/hat: unknown

A mickey tee can also be worn on a date like Carrie from Sex and the City!!

What is YOUR all time fav graphic-tee?

The most wanted slipper

Happy weekend everyone!  I'm doing some major packing for my final move to LA on Wednesday. Cleaning out my closet feels so good with occasional moments of "what the heck was I thinking."  which comes to the item that may or may not end up on the that dreaded list...is Loafers. 

[Top Left to Right] Yves Saint Laurent, Cole Haan, Christian Louboutin
[Bottom Left to Right] Christian Louboutin, Prada

Loafers are everywhere from the very exotic and luxurious Christian Louboutin, YSL, Prada, to the classic and affordable Cole Haan. 

Wearing loafers can go very right or very wrong, which depends entirely on your outfit as well as the style of the loafer.  I have yet to find myself a style that I like and once I do, I cannot wait to see how crazy I can get with pairing with my outfits!

Loafers may be the most wanted slippers but what's the most wanted shoes for summer?
