Lookbook: Bright Skirts For A Brighter Day

J.Crew Pencil Skirt, JCrew Wool Skirt, JCrew Factory Wool Surge Skirt, Double Serge Wool Skirt, Neon Pencil Skirt

Pencil skirts in bright, vibrant colors is a great way to put together a cheerful outfit. Mix it up with stripes, dots, florals or contrast with a equally bold opposite color. I love J.Crew and J.Crew Factory No. 2 wool surge skirts. They fit true to size and have pockets too! Some colors are already on sale! What's not to like!

Get the bright pencil skirt for Fall/Winter - With boots and ankle booties, these skirts will be a head turner!

Lookbook : Neon Accents

Neon Accent Scarf, Modern Scarf, Zara Neon Pumps, Lime green shoes

I love switching the look of a basic jeans and shirt outfit with some bright accessories. This neon accented scarf from Express comes in handy when I need to turn a simple outfit into a polished one. The fabric is buttery soft and the pattern is sophisticated yet playful - and as cliché as it sounds, I can't help but declare that it goes with everything!! The Zara mid heel lime yellow pumps are a match made in wardrobe heaven for this scarf. These two pieces bring the cheerful color to any basic Spring outfit, even on a Monday! ;-)

Lookbook : Citron And Cobalt With Floral Splash

The snow has still not melted fully, but amid long streak of cold and chilly weather, last week we had a couple of sunny, warm days all of a sudden! The unexpected warmth was as satisfying and joyous as the long forgotten money we suddenly find in an old handbag! To celebrate the occasion, I decided to break out the bright citron corduroys and the floral pumps with kitten heels. Happy outfit for a happy day! Alas, we still have more snow and cold front moving in this week.

Lookbook : Houndstooth & Chartreuse (and some thoughts on 'Blogger Poses")

Coat - Forever 21, Very similar style from Forever 21

Sweater - Forever 21 (Similar)

Boots - Forever 21 (Similar)

Jeans - c/o Rose Royce

When you take your pictures as often as a fashion blogger, you sometimes run out of 'poses'. I have noticed that there are certain poses most bloggers resort to (including myself) - like the jacket draped over shoulders (it is very uncomfortable way of wearing a jacket in real life! Trust me, I have 'posed' with that pose too! Although in my defense, this way of wearing jacket shows the blog readers what is underneath the coat), Another common 'pose' is walking as if we are chased by papparazzi (I have taken pictures in that mode too! It is good way of let the photographer decide which angle they want. ). And then there is looking at the ground as if looking for a lost penny! You know the the neck arched to the side, hands on the lapel, or in the hair ..:-)

Lookbook: Paisley Print Denim, 'Steal' Sandals & Splash of Neon

I am a big fan of whimsical fashion sketches/graphic prints on t-shirts and tops. (see the outfits with runaway print, ballerina print) so when I spied this soft chiffon top at Chicnoa.com, I was already planning my outfits and styling options! It is sheer, but with a white cami, it shows off this chic fashion sketch very nicely! The caption says 'strike the pose' so you have a reason to strut the sidewalk when you wear this!!:-)

These paisley print pants came from the clearance rack at H&M for just $15!! I had to wade my way through a VERY messy section of H&M store at 34th street ON A WEEKEND, but I knew I had a treasure in my hand when I picked them up! They fit so nicely and I love the delicate print and little hint of pastels in the paisley print!
