Over-the-Knee Boots

Target tunic sweater  (on clearance for $20) / Paige denim coated pants / Sam Edelman OTK boots / Dogeared necklace (one of my favorite things) / Baublebar statement necklace (on sale for $32 - limited time) / Sole Society hat (40% off) / Urban Outfitters rings

So it seems like the days are getting warmer here in LA. Last Sunday, during the Super Bowl, was probably the first time I wore shorts in the winter. It was nice to get a little taste of spring in the middle of winter and get a break in between freezing temperatures.

I still welcome the cold weather especially on the days where the temperature dips down to the low 50s. And like I mentioned in my previous post, I love it even more when it rains.

Ever since I got these Sam Edelman 'Kayla' boots during Black Friday, I reached out for these boots whenever I could. I've always had my eye on these Stuart Weitzman boots, but these Sam Edelman were the closest dupe I could get for now while I save up for the Stuart Weitzman :). They're very similar in looks, but the Sam Edelman are obviously a fraction of the price.

Rainy Day Outfit

Topshop sweater / Pleated A-line skirt (currently 40% off) / Mossimo jacket / Tights / Hunter rain boots / Kate Spade tote





It's been raining for the past two days here in LA lately, and I'm liking it! I like being home and listening to the pouring rain outside while I try to get some work done. I found myself just watching it for a few minutes as if I haven't seen rain in my life. Technically, I really haven't since we have been in a major drought. So having a few days of down pour rain is a nice change. It also gave me a chance to finally take out these Hunter rain boots out of the box.

3 Chic Ways to Layer for the Holiday

I recently teamed up with Target to bring you some ideas on how I'll be layering for this holiday season! The air is getting cooler, so it's time to bundle up and snuggle. Sometimes having too many layers can make you look bulkier, but here are some outfit inspirations that are both cozy and cute at the same time. You can easily wear these outfit ideas for the upcoming holidays, whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Hanukkah.

Sometimes spending the holidays with family means lounging around and relaxing in each other's company. It could also mean spending some time outside either ice skating or the park. This outfit is perfect whether you're sitting by the fireplace enjoying a meal with your loved ones, or taking a stroll and admiring the holiday decorations. It's also a bonus that this tunic is very forgiving when it comes to the holiday feast aftermath.

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target® Mini Satchel with Gusset - in Taupe and Black (Review)

Target released their latest designer collaboration collection officially September 15 a little before 1 am PST, and people went nuts.

When I first learned about the Phillip Lim collaboration back in May, I immediately logged the date in my phone calendar and set up an two different alarms just so I can be home that night to try and get things online. Going to Target was my last resort, as I don't do too well in chaotic environment.

I tried not to look at too many lookbooks that they posted early on just to control my sanity and to help not think about how September 15 can't get here any sooner. I was really excited since Phillip Lim is one of my favorite designers. I've always admired his creations and wish that I can fill-up my closet with his clothes, shoes, and bags. These Target collaborations have made that (somewhat) possible for the masses to have a piece (or I guess for some people a cart load) of the designers creation, without breaking bank.

Luckily, I got most of the things I wanted online before they sold out. I didn't have to participate in the early morning chaos. Although, I did send my mom a picture text of mini satchel with Gussets after making my online purchase to see if she'll be able to pick-up a black and an extra taupe one for me since her Targets were carrying the Phillip Lim collection (only select Targets released the Phillip Lim collection). There was really no sense of urgency for her to pick it up, but it was just in case she happens to be at Target and they're there.

Ok now, don't judge for sending my mom out to the battlefield. My mom lives the boonies that I figured that it would be fine and less chaotic (and people are much nicer in her part of town) since I thought people won't really care or might not even know who Phillip Lim is. And Asian parents wake up early. My mom sent me a text back Sunday at 6 in the morning, three hours after I sent her the text, asking about the bag. Of course I would still be asleep. And then she texts me back again at 9 am with a picture of the bag and called me to ask if it was what I was looking for. I almost had forgotten I had asked a few hours ago to check her Target (shopping hungover).

She ended up getting the black and taupe mini satchel with Gusset ($34.99), a ruffled sleeveless top ($26.99), and a leopard printed scarf ($19.99) for me. She had no idea what was going on, so I had to explain to her why people are cleaning up the shelves at Target and why are people asking her if she's "going to get that." She actually ended up getting a black and taupe tote bags and a taupe medium satchel with the handle bar for herself out of excitement.

And so here we are right now. I have two of the most coveted bags in the past 24 hours sitting in my room, but are they worth the hype?

Lookbook: Floral Mesh

Lookbook: Gray Leopard Pants

If you guys follow me on Instagram (@yummiebitez), then you probably know by now that I kinda sorta just came back from New York. It's been a couple of weeks now since I got back and I'm having New York withdrawals.

I'll be slowly posting the outfits that I wore while I was on my trip as well as a photo blog.

Lookbook: Floral and Stripes

Hello again! So I'm trying to get back in the groove of taking pictures of my outfits. My favorite Canon S95 was sadly stolen, and it's been a tad difficult taking pictures since then. I'm not exactly sure how bloggers tow their dslr all the time, but I'm trying to make it into a habit to at least have it on the weekends.

Lookbook: Black and Gold + Black Furry Vest

My lovely friend, Heart, gifted me with this black furry number. She actually got this for me during the summer, so I've been anxiously waiting for fall so I could finally wear it. I love the extra texture that it adds to a plain outfit.
