miss match or match made in heaven?

I was wandering around the hosiery department when I saw these.

I think they speak for themselves how adorable they are!!!! But would they fly over in the Western Region? ,


In Japan girls like to wear nylons under their short shorts.
I think it is inspired by Taylor Momsen (Gossip Girl) since she is highly admired here. Taylor has this hardcore-punk meets chic-goth kind of style that suits her lanky figure and white blonde hair. 

 She can totally pull it off but would the pastel nylons be a bit tacky? That was my worry and so I couldn't get myself to buy a pair......

Shall I go back to get them? What do you think?

It's off the shoulder!

FIRST and foremost I must say HAPPY CANADA DAY! even though I live in Japan my home will always be in beautiful British Columbia, Canada! 


now back to the post...
Recently I have been loving OFF the shoulder KNITs and MESH sweaters! Depending on how it is knit/meshed, you can see it in stores all year long!          It's wonderful.


In my opinion, they're a girls secret weapon! Its usually meant to be worn loose so it hides any bloating etc. incredibly figure flattering!

Most can be worn off the shoulder so it's sexy but tasteful. It isn't see through but lets you see your sillouette. I think I own so many in a million colors.

 I like is a loose pastel colored mesh sweater with some short shorts! 

Cute? I'd say yes! 

I recently bought a lace knit sweater from O.Z.O.C  that I thought was super interesting because it can be worn two ways!

have the buttons in the back

or

wear it as a cardigan!

I wanted to take a picture of myself wearing it...since I think I do a better job than this model (a line I can't believe I am saying) 

I was afraid it might look too grandma but the cream pink looks adorable with my white shorts! ahhhh summer colors! you gotta love it!

what is your fav mesh/knit sweater!!?!

now for the itty bitty details...

The extra touches to an outfit makes it all the more YOUR OWN STYLE.
IT is what makes people turn around and wonder where you got your swag from.

what can be more detailed then your NAIL COLOR? Yeup that is my topic for today. I talked about lipsticks the other day and how it can make you feel like a new person, well I think nail color can do that to you too! It's a cost friendly way to entertain, excite and make your day better, even on those bad-hair days. I feel naked without nail polish!

These days there are arrays of beautiful nail polish colors in a million different brands, so the designs you can do are endless. Pastels being the seasonal color, I decided to use that as a base to do my very first leopard pattern by hand.

It was actually super easy so I thought I'd show you how you can do it too!
