Smile! for [COD #8] Snow Blades and Ribbons

Yay for Halloween! (: I hope that you all got candy! If you didn't, I hope you all had a good time! Did you watch any scary movies? This year I dressed up as Rukia Kuchiki in her school uniform from the anime Bleach. Rukia is my absolute favorite character from Bleach. Her sword is entirely white and absolutely has the most beautiful attacks in my opinion. She's witty and has a strong heart. She also loves bunnies, which is my favorite animal! (:

 

 I've had her white sword replica for about four to five years now, and it has been sitting in my room ever since. Ever since I attended DisneyExpo last time, I just fell in love with cosplay, so I was determined to create this one, since it was pretty easy to do as well! (: I hope you enjoy the pictures! They were taken by my wonderful friend, Thomas Liu. Thanks again! Smile today everyone! (:

 Hurgh?

 Heh...heh...heh...I gotchu nows.

 Die. 

(sidenote: These are my best intimidating eyes. Are you scared? P:)

This season, I've been experimenting a lot with layers, especially since the weather is starting to get a little more consistent. In this case, consistent means when the sun starts to drop, the weather gets pretty chilly. During this kind of weather, I like getting cozy in thin layers so it's not so overwhelming. My PolarMax really helps keeping me nice and warm during the fall and shall become my best friend during the upcoming winter season. In one of my previous posts, I talked about some tips on how to stay warm this season. I was fortunate enough to be given a PolarMax set from a friend last Christmas and they have really been good to me when the weather starts to test the tolerance of human sniffles. If you don't own PolarMax, I would suggest wearing a tighter fit tank top and then a black top (preferably long sleeved) on top of that. I would've really hoped for the black layer of this outfit to be the longest of the three layers to really extenuate on the layering concept, but then again working with what you've got is pretty much what this blog is about. (:

Smile today!

Smile! for COD #1

Hello my smileys! I'm going to try out Outfit of the Day, or commonly known on YouTube as OOTD. Instead though, I'm going to call these COD's or Colorful Outfit Day. Not to be confused with the fantastical game of Call of Duty. Psst, did I mention that I'm a gamer? (; Anyways, let's see how this works out!


This past Saturday, I went to Forever 21 and acquired these plaid pants in XS.

Don't they kind of look like a plaid skirt? Because I am quite petite, I was extremely pleased to find the first belt that fits me without having to create my own hole. Yay! (:

And with that, here it is!

Shirt - CottonOn
Vest - from a friend
Pants - Forever 21

I really like collared button ups, where you can just roll up the sleeves and it transforms the look to something more casual.

With this outfit, I paired it up with suede black heeled boots that I got from Styles for Less. I turned on the flash so that you could see the texture and design of the boot.

This is how I had my hair today, and perhaps I'll make a tutorial for it later. It's very easy to do and in my opinion, looks a little anime even! (:

Well that's it for this COD! (: Hope you enjoyed it.

Smile today!
