Sparkly with a dark twist. 

December is coming to an end, which means that the new year is vastly approaching (time flew fast didn't it?!). We have about a week to prepare ourselves for 2016. As we plan our NYE shindigs, party looks come into play. 

The new year is your time to shine, so I believe that sequins couldn't be a more perfect fit for a NYE look.

Last year I wore a gold romper to match my blonde hair, but this year I know for sure I wanted to wear silver to match my new 'do.

Glam up the look by adding a faux fur coat and suede booties—effortlessly elegant and luxurious.

The new year is almost here!!! It's crazy how 2014 flew like a breeze. You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun...and working hard!

This past year has been good to me and I can't wait to see what 2015 has in store. I'm thankful for all the opportunities and experiences I encountered, and especially to those who has supported me all throughout the way. This coming year will be a great one and I can't wait to share it with all of you. So, cheers to the new year!

My last blog post of the year are my NYE outfit options that I shot with Ryan Chua (@ryanbyryanchua). It was the first time meeting and shooting with him but we already had an instant connection. I had so much fun! He shoots many fashion bloggers, and I'm not surprised because he's amazing at what he does.

So here are the photos and I can't wait to show you guys!!!

The first look is all black with lil bit of edge and a lil bit of sparkle. I wanted to balance off the glamorous look of the sequins with the roughness of my moto jacket.

The second look is very glitz and glam with the gold sequins and white fur. Nothing says party like a gold ensemble, right?

It’s Monday and you know what they say: no matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up! Mondays might be dreadful for some of you but one of the things I love about it is dressing up for work or getting back on your grind. This black duster coat is everything I wanted and more on a day like today. It’s a classic staple in your autumn/winter closet. First of all, I love how it’s black so you can literally pair this baby with anything—no need to be indecisive. It has an oversized fit with slits on the side, so I recommend wearing pieces that show a lil bit of skin like a crop top or a slip dress. I wanted to dress the coat down by wearing a crop top and light denim shorts, then add accessories like a wide-brim hat (yes, my best friend this season) and gold jewelry!
