Asos Flats Review

flats, asos, charlotte russe, pigtails, miley cyrus, 90s, outfit, lookbook, choies, crop, top, winter, fashion, beauty
Top +Choies 
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.

Forever 21 Blue Jacket Outfit

Jacket +Forever 21 
Skort Japan
Tights +Forever 21 

What I love the most about the winter, is different jackets and coats you can wear because I love how cozy and fashionable they can be. 

For this outfit, I really loved the contrast between the white lace of the skort and the black tights. I also liked that I actually matched my outfit by wearing navy blue. 

The only disclaimer is that my hair is not always this nice. It's usually frizzy and dry, but I guess miracles happen. Lol. 

See you soon,

Sheinside Favorite Tribal Moto Jacket Outfit

tribal, moto, jacket, choies, sheinside, style4less, high waisted, outfit, lookbook, fashion, leather jacket, scarf, winter 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, 
Love Mayu Girl

November 2014 Ipsy Subscription Box Review

Ipsy is a makeup monthly subscription bag for $10. Every month Ipsy sends its subscribers a small makeup bag along with four to five full and sample products that match your preferences. These preferences are different for every person, since you have to complete a survey at the beginning of the process to personalize your Ipsy bags. For example you can choose to mark as favorites eye shadows and facial masks, while leaving off lipsticks and mascaras. Of course this does not mean that you will never get these products, but instead  Ipsy will try to provide you with the product you prefer and sometimes introduce you to products that you thought you would never like, but end up liking (like me).

Also after sending their monthly bags, Ipsy provides their subscribers with special discount coupons for the products of the month!

3. L.A. Colors Chunky Lip Pencil (0.095 oz.; $3.50)

4. Nicole by O.P.I. Nail Polish (0.5 fl. oz.; $5.99)

5. TEMPTU S/B Highlighter (0.1 fl. oz.; $0)

Total Cost: $27.48

I really liked everything in this month's Ipsy. Especially the eyeliner because I was in need of one! And I really liked the smell of the roll on oil perfume, it was definitely a great first experience using this type of perfume. The highlighter and the nail polish are obviously really good, and last but not least, the lip pencil was just okay.

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,

Le Tote Free Subscription Box Review

Le Tote is a monthly subscription box that sends three brand clothing pieces and two accessory pieces in a box for $50 a month. 

Every subscriber has the opportunity to get unlimited number of boxes each month after returning the items to Le Tote. The perks of this box is that if you decide to keep an item, you just don't send it back and then they will charge you for it; or if you send everything back, you will get another box with different items withput ant additional cost. 


le tote, subscription box, bcb generation, accessories, dress, outfit, clothing, candy, Jewelry,

This past month I tried the free trial for Le Tote and they sent me my box in about two or three days later. My box included:

1. BCB Generation Top ($58)
2. Joan Retro Dress ($67)
3. Beatrice Statement Earrings ($18)
4. Industrial Bracelet ($18)
5. Kate Maxi Skirt ($34)
This top was really  soft and comfortable, I almost wanted to keep it on forever. I loved the high low shape at the bottom necause it gave a flowy and edgy look. I really loved it. 
le tote, subscription box, mayu girl
I fell in love with this dress and earrings. I am really pleased with the products because of the high quality and comfortability. And the best part is that I got to try them for free. 
This bracelet was really nice, but I don't really use any kind of bracelets, so I didn't even take it out of the package. 
This one's last only because it was huge on me, both width and length. They sent me the smallest size, but it was still too big for me. If it fit, It would have been perfect because I have been loking for a black maxi skirt for a long while now. But it's hard to find the perfect size because I'm not that tall. 

 I think Le Tote is a great subscription box for those who like to change their wardrobe frequently, but do not want to spend too much on new clothes and accessories. I would not recommend it for those who actually like to keep their items and use them repetitively because it's going to become too expensive in the long run. 

If you have anybother subscroption boxes that you would recommend, please comment down below! i would like to try new boxes. Or if you would like me to review a box, please tell me (:

Hope you liked my review!
Thank you,

Rubio's Mexican Grill Review

The Original Fish Taco with Rice and Beans - Two taco Plate with Two Sides

Two Classic Steak Tacos - With Rice and Black Bean Sides. 

Rubio's is a Mexican style restaurant that sells many different types of burritos and tacos. On Tuesdays, it usually holds the Taco Tuesdays, where each taco costs less than usual. 

When I went there for the first time I was honestly overwhelmed with the variety of options available because I coulnd't choose. But in the end ordered two steak tacos because I personally love steak anyways. 

I thought that the tacos were quite good tasting, but I must say that they were pricier than I thought they would be. 

I liked the fact that they have a variety of salsas and sides to choose from. It kind of felt like a taco/subway kind of thing; but not. Haha. 

Overall I can say that because of the price, I wouldn't go again, but it is definitely worth it if you are craving some good tacos or Mexican food!!

Sincerely,
Mayu Girl
