It was fanny bag, and now it’s bum bags’ trend! Refined but comfortable is how I find my perfect pair of mule! I’ve been getting a lot of compliments from you guys from wearing red and so, I went a little adventure on Jimmy Choo and went for these suede sandals in red- You guys made me do it!  “Stop buying avocado toast if you want to afford a home.” – Millionaire to Millennials.Let’s be honest.. I didn’t take the advice too seriously.I am an avocado girl yes- while people are scouting for the best Xiao Lun Bao in town, I chase for avocado toast! #livinginthewest This place is called Liquid Laundry, pretty untypical for Shanghai I would say, it feels like I am back to LA.The shop is bright and cosy and offers big or small tables. Also you can sit directly at their window front and watch people from above. We ordered two avocado toasts with a side kale salad. We did not expect the salad came in a full size and ended up packing almost half of the plate, the toast was hugggge!Featured Items   China Influencers Event x Uplab @The Social Venue/ Outfit 2  I was thrilled to be a part of the Uplab x Dou Yin Influencer event in Shanghai. I am such a newbie in the China social media platforms- the way the promote, the editing, and the market pools are so much different from the U.S and rest of the world! I was amazed by the Dou Yin camera- you can choose the intensity level of slimming your face, could you imagine that? You can get a free instant plastic surgery with your finger tips!   boohoo Laura Gingham BumbagStriped Duo Pocket Bumbag(Similar)Miu Miu zipped bumbag(Similar)Lovers + Friends Helen DressSELF-PORTRAIT One-shoulder striped dress(Similar)BCBGMAXAZRIA BCBG Asymmetrical Polka Dots Dress(Similar)Smoke x Mirrors Printed Mirrored Sunglasses(Similar)Le Specs – Pharaoh Cat-eye Silver-plated Mirrored Sunglasses(Similar)Illesteva – Leonard Ii Mask Round-frame Gold-tone Mirrored Sunglasses(Similar)Jeffrey Campbell Charmed Heel (Similar)Jeffrey Campbell Minuit PVC Sandals(Similar)Steve Madden Camille Clear Sandal(Similar)

   GG loafers (Similar here) are the trend since last year, I remember I wanted them so bad and been running around all the Neiman Marcus nearby just to find my size! You know how crazy that was? I never in-store shopping but look what Gucci has done to me! #obsessed A striped off shoulder top is simultaneously chic and low-key, that is, if you skip the pants, wear it with comfy loafers and a pair of jean shorts. This off shoulder blouse (Affordable here, similar here) is giving off Summer time vibes. If you know me well, I am less likely to bring a jacket when I am out. In Hong Kong, we have two seasons in Summer: the freezing indoor malls and the sauna streets. LOL Definitely not exaggerating, I learned that lesson in a hard way.   Excuse this foodie moment… I get super hungry when I am drinking… Who can relate?More Shanghai posts will be out soon! Be on the look out bbys

When the temperatures rise, so does your styling prowess. Today! I was working with My Luxe Fit for petite size in designer & luxury clothing brands.They don’t usually carry smaller sizes for 5’3″ or under. I remember my first try on at Gucci back when I was a college student and the dress never fit me.My stylist asked if I wanted to check out the kid clothing LOL, maybe I can squeeze in a Boy’s XL no?Girls like me should look for collections specifically designed for shorter women, something that would fit this 5’2″ no brainer.More and more brands are considering us little ladies petite sections;Needy to say, petite sizing are demanding especially when the Influencer marketing-many of us are not a Runway figure, generally that means shorter torsos and legs, and narrower shoulders.But hey, we got boobs, bums and hips to factor-in too.It is worth just going straight to bringing out petite sections!!! Nothing a red romper cannot solve.If you think a white tee with jeans is a running late go-to outfit, ladies I am telling you rompers are the new black.They have plenty of pattern and colour options that keeps your day and night appropriate:Easy-to-wear embroidered rompers that will keep you looking put-together;or add an oversized blazer in pastel hues to create an office appropriate look. Athena goes BLOND! I decided to let my hair go a bit lighter for summer.AND! I did a big snip too (six inches wow), can you tell?I did not realize how short my hair is until I gather my hair into a high ponytail: I kept catching air while I do my hair flip game. LOLSo that’s the story on how I came up with this messy bun.Now that I have a thinner layer hair, I spend fewer time on styling my hair, and it is so much easier!On the days that I don’t feel like whipping out my curling iron or straightener, I just twist my hair into a bun and get the day rolling. I used a dry shampoo spray (Spray gives you more volume that powder), a hair rubber band, and bobby pins. I gather my hair into a high ponytail and divide it into two equal sections, then I twist it downward and tuck it under the ponytail to make a crescent moon shape. Then I twist the remaining section over the ponytail so Ican hide the rubber band.And I tuck in loose ends to give my bun more volumes!And wala! Here’s your honey bun girl! Featured ItemsHannalicious x NA-KD Crochet PlaysuitShein Crochet Overlay Playsuit (Similar)Boohoo Crochet Open Shoulder Playsuit (Similar)Chopard Happy Dimond WatchPatek Philippe 18K Rose Gold Watch (Similar)Swarovski Crystalline Leather Watch (Affordable)Jimmy Choo Aviator SunglassesRay-Ban Origina Aviator Sunglasses (Similar)Aviator Sunglasses (Affordable)Saint Laurent Espadrille SandalChloe Espadrille Sandal(Similar)SCHUTZ Espadrilles sandal (Affordable)     Outfit 2:Featured ItemsLioness Bel Air Romper KEEPSAKE THE LABEL Stand Playsuit(Similar)Cosette Bell Sleeve Romper (Similar)    Featured ItemsZaful Frilled Off The Shoulder Crop Top JORDAN ASKILL X LE SPECS LUXE Petit SunglassesGEORGE KEBURIA Micro Cat-Eye Sunglasses (Similar)Boohoo Slim Cat Eye Sunglasses (Affordable)NA-KD Wrapped Mini SkirtASOS Wrap Tie Mini Skirt (Similar)Boohoo Wrap Mini Skirt (Similar)

Happy May babies! Summer is right around the corner and romper season is underway. There are so many answers about my love for romper that I hesitate to answer this again.They are super easy to style with that I don’t have to worry about what to wear for my bottoms.My friend was blowing up my phone so I had very little time to think of accessories;otherwise, I usually do off-the-shoulder with a choker, black lace or Bohémienne are my two top notches. If you know me well, I am a huge fan of warm weather and anything related to summer, I dig. I usually don’t change my case quite often but this case changed my ritual. This is my second iPhone case from iDeal Of Sweden and I am obsessed with every design they created. I got my first one with the classic white and gray marbles design and that plays my ‘casual Friday’ look- I switch it on the day I want me & my phone to stay low key. lolTo amp up with a white romper, a loud color is necessary.This fun & glam, and discovered Chanel purse has been my great PM companion. When in doubt just add heels. I spiced it up with a rose red wedges to complete this night out look. If you ever get a chance bumped into me during the day time, most likely you will see me in my chill & casual workout clothes(Also if you can excuse me my naked sweaty face).I don’t usually walk in heels in the day because I have to deal with the crowds.If shooting is requiring I will just throw a pair in my tote bag and go; on the day I don’t feel like carrying a huge bag around,I’ll just let my feet ‘suffer’ and Uber everywhere.Featured ItemsiPhone Case is from iDeal Of SwedenUse code “ATHENANAA” to get 20% off!

My glowy game still staying strong with my sweat layered on top, what do you say? #unbeatableMini backpacks and heeled wedges are always IN the season. They give a new fresh look and feel with touch of sexy and extra visual interest to your looks. This mini Louis Vuitton backpack is my current crush, you can simply pair with an easy denim  and makes a perfect outfit from day to night occasion.I have been obsessed with high waisted denims since my first year of college. I always have a thing with 80s-90s’ trends. Movies, music, fashions, and so on- everything was so authentic and elegant. Oh boy, I wish I was born in those eras.Isn’t that weird? I am a huge fan of artificial intelligence that I think it is going to take over humans’ future, well 38% of our lives at least; at the same time, I wish there is a time machine where it could take us back to a simpler time, more appreciation, less alone time.Featured Items     BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter Gradient Glow Outfit 2*Showing up to the event be like…*Yeah, lay it on me, I am your favorite Tommy girl today!Remember I was wearing a mustard crop hoodie in Santa Monica last summer?

Okay my loves! Time for some recaps on my Seoul trip! I know I am a little behind schedule. If you watched my Instagram story, you probably already know that my site was encountering some technical issues and went down for almost two weeks.Good news is… Attirestudios.com is back ON LIVE!This is my third time visiting Seoul. You all know, I am a point-to-point and home chilling type of girl, I Uber & Airbnb whenever I go on travel. I just love talking with random people, I think that is the way(very cliche to say) to learn the culture. LOL  Twin City Namshan.One main reason I enjoy traveling with Airbnb is I often get so much inspiration from the host’s decor and little details of their homes. I have thought about being an interior designer when I was younger, but I’ve got to face the reality is that: I cannot draw. I guess I just love idea of visual pleasure rather than being a profession. It was 25 degrees in Seoul! I did not bring many Winter jackets with me, not only because my-love-for-Canada-Goose-is-real-and-that-is-all-I-need, you can easily get one in every underground mall (affordable and usually negotiable,too!). Common Ground mall is made out of blue containers. It is about 5 minutes away from Konkuk University station. Very Instagammable place and guess what? They got my favorite food truck (With heaters outdoor seating)
