Pink!

     Never have I ever been one to sport a pink dress but this number was definitely an exception (& Ryan Chua approved of it too!) It's such a happy color and perfect for the spring time. This V-neck pleated dress from Charlotte Russe was too cute to pass up and really flattering for all body types. I seem to fall back on the fit and flare as opposed to bodycon dresses just because I find it easier to move around in- what do you guys think?
     This is a great spring dress and the shoes could be swapped out for a cute floral wedge or dressed up with a pair of stilettos for a night out!

Notice my toes match the dress :)

A Romantic Pink

     Regardless of whether it's Summer or Winter, there's always a chance to wear skirts, dresses, or shorts in the cold...you just have to bundle up! This outfit was perfect for going to downtown San Francisco to walk around and grab a quick lunch. Some people may think turtlenecks are silly, but I love toasty they are! This pink one from J. Crew was on clearance and I couldn't resist; this color is such a romantic shade of pink :) I wanted the color to stand out so I opted for all black pieces. When it comes to Winter, I typically find myself tucking in my tops to my bottoms to keep me warm and in this case, I tucked the shirt into my Forever 21 circle skirt (also featured here). I slipped on some sheer stockings from Walgreens and a cotton blend pleather jacket from Charlotte Russe (mentioned here) to complete the look.
     To give myself a bit more coverage, I grabbed some knee high socks from H&M (they're really thick and warm, comes with 2 pairs) and topped it off with a circle scarf from Abercrombie. This scarf appears white but it actually has specs of metallic pink details all over it! I was going for a feminine but fierce look with this look. These brown booties from ShoeDazzle (mentioned before here & here) are super comfortable and since I was to be walking around downtown- the chunky heel really helped; I must admit that it took all my shoe-power not to go for the black ones I always default to :P 

I went to the Asian Art Museum! 

P.S I changed my nails again! This is "For the Twill of It" by Essie  sent to me by Beyond Polish! They have an amazing selection- go check it out! :)

Capes & Superheroes!

     Capes are all the rage this season- I'm seeing them everywhere i go! Speaking of which, did you guys go see hear about the Make-A-Wish Foundation & their Batman adventures? This was such an inspiration and since I couldn't go, I decided to cape up today so I'm there in spirit! Who doesn't want to feel like a superhero nowadays ;) I love how they're able to make any outfit stand out and for me, the piece also makes me imagine I'm a classy lady from Britain (does it make anyone else feel like way?)

     Since this Forever 21 cape (on sale!) was a textured beautiful, dark navy blue, I wanted to bring in a pop of color to brighten up this outfit since it was a gloomy San Francisco morning.This wool magenta mini from J.Crew was  perfect for the weather and the perfect color to offset the navy. Underneath (the stripes peeking through my cape) I wanted to keep warm so a turtleneck was the way to go! This striped one is also from J.Crew last season (what can I say, I'm a fan haha) 

     From the bottom up, I went with these Charlotte Russe wedges and some sheer stockings to keep it simple. This classic Louis Vuitton purse here is actually my mom's that I permanently borrowed a while ago (haha). I really wanted all the focus to be on the cape and I typically finish all my looks which some type of heel whenever I'm wearing a skirt or a dress to elongate the legs (trust me, it really works!) :) 

     
     Here is the finished look! Excuse the bad lighting, it was a dark morning :(
