Episode 24: Minute Styles - 4 Corduroy Pants Pairings

It's been a while since I last made a YouTube video and even longer  since I last blogged! I've been so caught up the last 2 weeks applying to jobs and going to interviews. No excuse for the time before that though! haha. I was just enjoying my summer. :) But now I'm back and I will be blogging at least once a week! (and produce a video)

For my latest video, I did a pairings video on the new corduroy pants I purchased at H&M for only $2.50! How great of a deal is that?! Corduroy always appeared old fashioned to me before, but seeing a pair of pants for $2.50 was something I just couldn't pass up. So, I decided to get them and see what I can wear with them. They're black (I also purchased a pair of dark blue ones) so it makes it a lot easier to wear. I think black is definitely a great entry into a style that's out of your comfort zone. It's not too flashy and definitely leaves a lot of leeway for you to play around with different textures/styles.

Without further ado, lets get started with my pairings!

Watch my video here: 

Outfit 1: Chic 

Gold Sequin Blouse (Forever21) with nude pumps

This outfit is great for going out on a date. The sequins and pumps give off a very feminine and 'formal' feel while the corduroy texture tones it down a bit to a more casual feel.

Outfit 2: Edgy

Pleather Peplum Top (Zara) with nude pumps

When I was pairing this outfit, I immediately thought of Nikita. It gives off a very fierce vibe, which is nice once in a while. :) The 'deep' V-neck area brings out a very sexy feel as well. I think this outfit is perfect for those clubbing days!

Outfit 3: After Work

Shell Tank (Loft) with two tone flats

Got a date right after work and no time to change outfits? You could just keep the top you're wearing and put on the corduroy pants for a more relaxed look and you're all ready for your date! You still look polished, but comfortable at the same time.

Outfit 4: Casual

Chambray Shirt (Forever21) with flipflops

This look is perfect for going to class, chilling with your friends, or just a casual outing. Best of all, it's super comfortable. I think the colors also go really well together.

Hope you're having a super day and I'll see you in my next post!

Episode 14: Joining the YouTube Community!

Hi everyone!

It's been SO long since I've last updated this blog. I'm so sorry! School work always gets in the way. :( But I have some news! I have recently decided to get into making YouTube videos. The focus is the same as this blog: fashion, DIYs and crafts. At the moment, I'm not really sure how often I will be making videos, but I'm aiming for one per week? Hopefully school doesn't get me off track again... haha. 

What made me want to make videos was mainly because I wanted to find an easier way to make tutorials. It took me a long time to make the dolphin tutorial because I had to stop and take pictures at every step. It took me a while to actually go and make a video because I'm actually very shy. I hope that through these videos, I'll be able to improve on myself as well as provide useful tutorials for everyone else.

The final push that made me make my first video was actually because of my current ITI class. I'm taking Information Visualization this semester and video editing/filming is one of the projects I have to do. I figured I'd make a simple video to get a hang of recording before I started recording/editing for the project. :) 

Check out my first video down below! (Please excuse my awkwardness and the top being cut off... haha :x):

I definitely need to work on editing and filming techniques! Haha. Please let me know in the comments of either the video or this post on how I can improve! Also thumbs up and subscribe so I know you're enjoying these videos. :D Thank you so much for your support! ♥

What kind of videos do you guys want to see?

What are some editing/filming suggestions you have for me?

It surprised me when the weather report said it was going to be 63 degrees in December. I just had to take advantage of this beautiful weather and reminisce the feeling of wearing shorts again, since it will probably never be as warm again this winter. Sometimes I just wish I moved to LA to experience this kind of weather everyday during the winter time.

Episode 3: A Touch of Warmth

60 degrees in December? So hard to believe, but I love it! It's been so cold and gloomy lately that we definitely needed this day as a break. It must've been a sign since I had a Chinese exam, which I think I did very well on! -fingers crossed- 

I opted for something more loose and flowy since it was an exam day and I had to wake up earlier. I chose to wear a baggy white sweater with a black mini skirt. I wore black tights under since it was a little chilly in the shade. This was the perfect outfit for me that day since I wanted it to be simple, comfy and semi girly.

What do you think about this outfit?
