Asos Flats Review

Top +Choies 

Skirt +Charlotte Russe 

Shoes +ASOS 

Coat- Handmade by my grandma

I purchased these flats from Asos with a 30% discount. They arrived after about a week, and the box was a little open, but luckily nothing was missing.

I am a true size 6, but ordered a 7 because on their measuring charts. The size 6 is a little bit smaller than othershoe  stores, so I went with a bigger size. 

They fit me alright, not too lose nor too tight. But I think that a 6.5 would have been better for me. Sadly they do not handle half sizes. 

Either way thay are pretty comfortable and the soles are perfect for walking everywhere since the soles are quite rubbery and do not slip. 

If you are thinking about purchasing a pair of shoes from Asos, do not go by the number, but by the measurement in their shoe size chart. Measure your own feet to see which size is the best for you. 

I hope you found this review helpful. If you have any questions, suggestions, or anything to say, comment down below in the comments section. I would love te reply.

Sheinside Favorite Tribal Moto Jacket Outfit

Jacket +Sheinside StreetFashion 
Pants +Styles For Less 

This Tribal Sleeved Moto Jacket is one of my favorites because of how fashionable it is and because it is very warm and soft in the inside. I think I got this jacket last winter (2013) and I don't think I have seen it on Sheinside this winter, but I think they still have really similar jackets like this that have a really good quality and style.

For some reason, my past few lookbooks have involved blue colored pieces, maybe it's because I relate blue with cold weather? I don't know, but all I can say is that I love it!

Choies Plaid Trousers and Forever 21 Cardigan Outfit

Top: +Choies 
Cardigan: +Forever 21 
Pants: +Choies 

Personally, I love this outfit a lot because I love crop tops and high wasted pants. And I have to confess that I took inspiration from a Beauty blogger named Leanne Lim-Walker. I saw one of her pictures on Instagram (@leannelimwalker) and she was wearing these pants from Choies with a black belt and a bustier. 

I also have noticed that +Choies has been lowering its prices. It is probably because of all of the other competitors such as +Sheinside StreetFashion and +DressLily, who have almost the same clothing and accessory items, but sell them at a much cheaper price. And this is really good because we get to benefit from their competition. 

That is all I have to share for today, hope you found my blog inspiring and/or interesting. You will be seeing more of these kinds blogs in the future, but for the meantime, you can follow me through Instagram and Twitter @mayugirl1 with a ONE at the end!

Le Tote Box subscription Review

Le Tote is a monthly subscription box for $50 that sends three clothing items and two accessories in each bag, along with a free tote and a measuring tape in the first box. 

For my secong free box, I got items that I really did not like, and that I would never use or wear. So I guess I am glad that I was able to cancel this subscription because it was not for me. 

I would recommend this subscription box to people who spend a lot of money in brand clothing and accessories and would like to receive an unlimited amount of rented clothing a month. And can keep them by paying a little bit more. 

Le Tote is a sophiaticated subscription box that is not for people like me who would rather have nice and cheap clothing over expensive brand clothing that looks the same. 

I am not saying that it is a bad box, because they have really nice clothing items; but it's just a little bit expensive for me. 

That is all for this review,

Hue Café/ Ice Cream Review

Hue Cafe

Taro, green tea, litchi, and black sesame ice cream

Black Sesame Ice Cream on top of Taro Ice Cream

Nom, nom, nom.

Ceiling Lights

Relaxing Sofa and Wall Design

Hue Cafe is a ice cream, tea, smoothie, and coffee place that holds different and unique flavors for each, that are very appealing and delicious. The place itself is really well designed and is very attractive because of its aesthetic walls, chairs, and lighting. 

I found it really interesting how they had so many different flavors of ice cream that I had never seen before such as the litchi, taro, and the black sesame seed ice cream. And I can definitely say that they are DELICIOUS. I am convinced that I will go again someday and try other flavors of ice cream and even beverages.

I honestly fell in love with this place because of how neat and colorful it is and because of the fact that the temperature inside was not freezing cold like most ice cream places.

The End,

Lunch at Outback Steakhouse

Simply Grilled Mahi

Ahi with Vegetable and Rice Sides

I went to the Outback Steakhouse restaurant today, and I was really satisfied with their service, regardless of the fact that the house was packed. The food was really good and satisfying. I really liked that their menu is really varied and that the portions are the perfect size for one person. It also has several dishes under 600 calories for people who want a healthier meal. 

Just because it's called Steak House, doesn't mean that they only serve stake. They have fish, chicken, soups and salads; like any other restaurant. But let me just say, that their steak is amazing (or maybe it's the fact that meat is my favorite kind of protein, I don't know)

Overall, it is a great place to indulge your meat cravings, while having a healthy portion of protein accompanied by veggies and rice.

Love Is in The Air Manicure

This is definitely one of my favorite nail art designs ever! I hope you like it too. 

1. I used false almond shaped nails and painted them with a nude color. 

2. Then I drew the heart shapes with a red nail polish. 

3. Finally I filed the tips to create a more realistic heart on my nails. (It also made them more claw-like)

Unique Foods in Japan!

Sweet Beans with Mochi

Rose Petal Sponge Cake

Last Soba of the year

 

I just wanted to share some of the things that I ate in Japan that are quite different from Western foods. Some of them I had already tried before but others I found quite new. One of the things that I liked the most was the Spaghetti with the Squid Ink Sauce. It was really really good! The one that I least enjoyed was the Vegetable Yakult because it gave me a horrible stomach ache right on New Year's Eve :'( That is the only reason I had to eat my "Last Soba of the Year" after New Year's... Oh well at least I started off the year with a fixed stomach (although I ended 2013 with a horrible stomach ache...)

 

 

 

I really enjoyed my trip to Japan and I can't wait to go back again.

With much love, Mayu

Hair Care 101

• Only shampoo the top part of your hair by massaging your scalp.  This will help prevent your ends from getting damaged, since you only really need to get rid of the dirt and oils from your scalp. 
• Only apply hair conditioner on the bottom half of your hair. Hair conditioner makes your hair heavier so don't apply on the top part to prevent it from falling.  
• Dry shampoo and conditioner protect your hair from UV sun rays. This will help your hair keep its natural oils, which will prevent breakage and dryness. 

• Do not brush your hair when it is wet, wait for it to dry. Brushing your hair right after you take a shower will only increase the chances of damage and split ends. 

• Do not put your hair in a tight ponytail, loosen it up! Love your hair by not putting it on too much pressure. Hairstyles that require tightening your hair will cause your hair to fall off.

• Avoid hair dryers, straighteners, and curlers. Avoiding these tools will help your hair heal faster from damage. 

• Don't dry your hair with a towel. Leave your towel on but don't rub your hair with it because it will damage your hair.

How to Style Print/Patterned Pants

For a long time, I have been avoiding print leggings because I am pretty self conscious about my legs, but I have finally found the solution = patterned pants. They aren't as tight as leggings, but are still gorgeous to wear. 

How to style printed leggings or patterned pants?

•Monochrome top. 

 

It could either be as plain as a white top (like I am wearing) or a different tone or hue of the same color as your pants. Say for example, with my pants I could have used a light brown top. 

•Plain tank top. 

 

This will make your pats the highlight of your outfit. 

•Use as cover up for the beach. 

 

You can pair your bikini with some print pants to give yourself a boho look. 

•Pair them with some wedges to give you height. 

 

•Accessorize with long and simple necklaces, or with short and geometrical necklaces.

Falsies + Studded Nails DIY

 

Steps:

1. Glue on nails-

I used the Revlon Color Allure Medium 91051. The little box contains 24 nails with different sizes, glue, a small file, and a little stick for cuticles. 

2. Glue on studs-

I purchased the studs from Forever 21 at a very cheap price. I think it was on sale then. To glue them on, I used the same glue I used for my nails. 

Be careful to not glue your fingers because the glue is very strong! I was honestly pretty scared at first, but it is pretty easy and worth it. By the way, the box says that the nails should be removed after a week to prevent nails from becoming weak and breaking.

Hello Winter Weather

Outfit:

Jacket > +Forever 21 :http://bit.ly/1bPxw3Z

Jeans > +Aeropostale  :http://bit.ly/1ctjB23

Shoes> http://bit.ly/1ggv9ct

 

This jacket from Forever 21 is amazing. I fell in love with it because of the design it has on the sleeves and the little bit of fur it has on the edges of the zipper line. Please don't be fooled by the fur because it only has a strip of fur on the sides of the zipper; the jacket does not have the fur on the inside part, it is only an accessory.

 

When I ordered it, I thought the inside part would be covered with fur, but sadly it was not. I felt kind of disappointed but I still love it because it's gorgeous and its cozy nevertheless. I know the jacket may seem pricey but I actually got it for a cheaper price because I found a really good coupon code at retailmenot.com. There are tons of codes for different stores in this website; 100% recommended (there is an app for this too).

 

There is also another website/app called Ebates that gives you money back every time you shop on any website that Ebates has on their list. I received 10 dlls from it when I purchased my clothes on Forever21. You should definitely give it a try.

Last but not least, I wanted to mention that my favorite jeans are from +Aeropostale.

 

The End.

Love, Mayu Girl
