It's a wrap!

Crop top / Asos (available here)
Wrap coat / Jovonnista (available here)
Ripped Jeans / Asos Petite (similar here)
Heeled Sandals / L.A.M.B.

Recently, been trying to take 4 days off inconspicuously from work in the last 3 weeks of the year, because in this case, Andy, if you don't use it, you lose it.

But the days off afford me some time to do extra recipes and DIYs that I haven't had the time to do in between outfit posts due to a ridiculous amount of birthdays, thanksgiving dinners, and other errands like buying/making gifts!

It's not obvious in the photos, but this coat can keep you warm like a fur! It's soft to the touch, and thick material. I wouldn't go to Antarctica with it, but it definitely served its job keeping me warm in my crop top as I ran around Sunday!

Oh, and that green ring wrap around bracelet? I made that! It's a sliding knot bracelet I learned as a kid from Chinese knotting class. Yes, that's a thing. Anyway, I didn't take photos, but if you guys like it and want to learn how to make it, I'd be happy to do a quick tutorial :)

This is a close-up of the bracelet I whipped up last minute the night before! :)

Pink Thrills - I will not tell lies

Sweater / Thrifted
Salmon skirt / Thrifted
Scarf / Burbery (gift)
Heels / BCBG Paris
Ok, this will be a short post, but only because I am prepping some awesome posts for the weeks leading up to Christmas. Be prepared to be bombarded! :X

I started thinking about what I should do for my secret santa. My 'research' quickly snowballed into "I could totally make that" or "that's an awesome gift; everyone should know about it." So now I have a ton of recipes and DIYs coming up on the blog to help you with gifts for your coworkers or a secret santa :) plus it's just super fun to make, because I'm a weirdo that likes to spending time and money giving presents. Santa, are we somehow related? Are you, by any chance, Taiwanese on any side of your family?

Also, on a totally random and dorky note, my friend pointed out this outfit makes her think of Umbridge. That is one person I'd rather not be related to haha

Somehow I was still able to smile that day despite freezing my butt off in 30 degree weather.

Sweater Cape + Cyber Monday!

I don't know why, but I instantly thought "Kim Kardashian" when I saw this photo of myself hahah
Sweater Cape / Echo Design (thrifted NWT!)
Long sleeve / Uniqlo Heattech<3
Knitted Skirt / H&M (old)
Heels / BCBG Paris
This thing is ridiculously warm. I just never take it off, because whenever I do, I look like a frizzy, frazzled static-y ball of hair. But wearing it also gives me a chance to do the infamous hair tuck I always see other bloggers do! I get why they do it. It looks cool, keeps your hair in place, and your hair helps keep you warm in those windy urban cities!

And happy Cyber Monday! Are you guys excited for any specific sales? I always love checking out Net-A-Porter's annual sale and then actually buy from its sister site, theOutnet, which usually starts its clearance sale around this time.
