Dear Santa

 Stylenanda Sweater/ Gina Moka Leather Leggings/ H&M Hat/ MIA Boots/ Gold Jewelry

It is almost the end of the year, and holidays are lining up to be celebrated. It is time to rethink about how the year has passed and make new years resolutions for the new coming 2015. How intimidating but exciting.

I think Christmas is about being comfortable and cozy, so I am wearing this Christmas red sweater to dinner. 

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.

KARMA

 Uniqlo Shirt/ Issgi High-Waisted Jeans/ Vintage Jacket/ MIA Boots/ Forever21 Ring

A casual meeting on Sunday morning. Wearing timeless vintage for "appropriateness", "style", and that extra "spice". The padded shoulders may be over-the-board, but that is why I like it.

Decorating the look with red lips and nails. Red and green. This is a head-start for christmas. 

People in the past are coming in back into my life. Makes me remember that what goes around comes around, including events and people, enjoyable or painful.....

Dress like you're going to meet your ex-boyfriend.

Winter Plum

For the change of seasons, I am incorporating new colors to my makeup look. Winter is perfect for those dark lipstick colors, and I am bringing them out from my hidden boxes. Trying this lighter plum that is suitable for the daytime. It can also act to gradually build my confidence for the the other versions that require more courage.

Lips:

MAC Aristo-Cat

Chanel Lipgloss (Scintillantes)

I actually am not the greatest fan for this lipstick in Aristo-Cat. The frost texture with a metallic shine is a combination that I just cannot get use to. Certainly, I must be out of my mind for buying something I do not favor, but it was a while back and girls just do this all the time. 

Since this is about beauty and fashion, but not proliferation, the way I even out the metallic shine is a top of Chanel lipgloss. So far it is working. 

Wearing this look for dinner tonight.

A girl worth kissing is not easily kissed.

TRY

 Zara Sweater/ Vintage Jacket/ Fendi Sunglasses/ MIA Boots

Nothing can compare to the effortless cozy turtleneck sweater and messy tucked in hair. Wearing this Zara sweater as a dress, I am definitely putting effort to defeat with the Beijing cold: running bare-legged during winter. It is most important to protect the knees and these boots have done just that. 

Don't give in for the clumsy winter clothes, sometimes you just have to try.

Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard, then succeed on purpose.
