Daily Fashion Show: All You Need is Love

Happy Valentine's Day all and also, Happy Birthday to me :) Today's post is all about LOVE!



Got the coolest ring pack in Hong Kong. Each ring is separate and has a letter on it. I like wearing it in this combo, two letters on each finger. Can also be worn with 1 letter on each finger, but it's a little more challenging and slightly annoying to wear.



Also played up the floral theme today with a beaded cardigan and floral printed dress. To top it off, I sported a skinny stretch belt with a rose closure. It's the little details that count, right?



Sparkle tights and a feathered barrette helped to feel ultra-girly, while my rocker boots balanced the whole ensemble out. I love the clash of the two looks.



Hope everyone's day is filled with love, sweets, and lots of kisses!

Daily Fashion Show: Bubble-licious

Got in touch with my new, favorite necklace by wearing contrasting circle patterns. Or, as I like to call them, bubbles for Gemo!



What was most fun about this ensemble are my red tights. Really pop against the purple and grey but goes wonderfully with my jewelry. Plus, it's getting closer and closer to V-day, who's excited?



Close-up of the contrasting patterns. I seriously love this skirt. The textured fabric is amazing.



Although nearly all of my pieces today are from stores I rarely shop at (see below for listing), put together make a great ensemble. Just goes to show, you always gotta mix it up!

Weekly Secret Weapon: Get In Touch With Your Wild Side

I realize it's been two weeks since I've done a Secret Weapon, but hey, I was just saving it for this amazing post! Haha...anyway, this week, I want to focus on getting in touch with your wild side. Animal print never goes out of style, especially if it's leopard or zebra. And, I have 1 more amazing find from Hong Kong to show, perfect for the occasion.



Critters have been taking over fashion by storm this year getting themselves into our cold weather hats, gloves, and even scarves. But now, they are even invading our clothing in the cutest way. This hoodie I found in Hong Kong has it all: ears, pom poms, bows, soft leopard plush, and even a tail!



One of the things I love about it most is that it's unique and can't be found anywhere around here, at least for the next 6-12 months!



Here's a great view of my ears and bow and of course, my tail!



So don't be afraid to get in touch with your wild side fashionistas, because animal is not going anywhere.

If I've learned one thing while working in fashion is that animal never goes out of style. Yes, you have your leopard and zebra, but I couldn't help but notice a TON of peacock printed and feather embellished accessories this week while searching for trends. I don't think there's a dress on here that I don't like, but my favorite would have to be the Modcloth one. Also the necklaces, so beautiful huh? As titles in this post, you couldn't not feel oh so pretty in any of these amazing pieces!

Daily Fashion Show: Girl Power

Decided to blow out this crazy blizzard weather today with girl power! Wore my rocker boots, skinny pants, and best of all, my ultra-girlie bag. I loved all of the details going on here, chains, stones, pink, black, elbow sleeves, and clunky boots. Everything just seemed to clash and go together at the same time.



Since it was Feb 1st (when I wore this) I took out my Juicy bag (so aptly named my February bag) from it's protective bag and braved it in the cold. I just couldn't pass up it's ultra-girl band details today with my ensemble. But my favorite accessory in this ensemble? My rhinestone head phone necklace!



This was by far the coolest thing I bought in Hong Kong. I found this jewelry store that was just filled with ultra-sparkly, 1 of a kind pieces in it and couldn't pass this one up. I mean, have you ever seen anything like this?



Hope you're all enjoying the little preview I'm giving you of the blizzard we got (through my blinds of course). It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. So glad to be indoors and safe, watching bad TV with my love!



Ok, enough babbling, I'm going back to rocking out....

Spotted: Disneyland Hong Kong

Ok, so I know this isn't fashion related, but I wanted to show you all one of the most special moments I've had in 2011. It is my dream to go all of the Disney parks around the world. Now, I already have California and Florida under my belt, but anything out of the U.S. really just seemed like a dream to me. On my buy trip to Hong Kong this year, part of my dream became a reality and I got to go to Disneyland Hong Kong! Hope you all enjoy the pictures and memories that I will carry with me forever in my heart :)

Waiting to board the Disney train. Next stop...the happiest place in HK!

Here comes the train! Mickey shaped windows and all!

They even had Mickey shaped hand holders for the train. Oh Disney, you are just too special!

Me and Ashley in front of one of the windows. Wee, so excited!

We finally made it! So excited here. I think I started skipping with one of my co-workers.

Couldn't go to the park without a picture in front of the flower Mickey!

Oh Walt, you even look beautiful in Chinese!

The castle from the view from Mainstreet HK!

Me and the Jungle Cruise director!

Ashley and I on the Jungle Cruise. She taped the whole thing...bad jokes and all!

Carol and I on Space Mountain. She was so scared!

Me and Buzz. You know I couldn't go to Disney without imitating something!

Yummy, Chinese Mickey shaped Icecream. Tasted the same :)

You can tell I liked it....

So happy to be in Tomorrowland!

The beautiful castle at night time!

Beautiful fireworks. I cried I was so happy to be there and see them!

Oh good bye Disney. You were amazing and I am so glad to have seen you! Now I only have 2 more, Tokyo and France. Here I come!

Mickey hangover!
