GOWIGASA Black Striped Top | H&M Bird Prints Skirt | ALL CAPS Dahlia Wedges | GOWIGASA Postman Sling Bag
After #1, #2, #3, and #4, this is the closer look of my Japan outfit #5. I paired this horizontal striped top with bird prints on the bottom and I thought my red Dahlia wedges would be perfect for this look as it brings a pop of color. :)

Anyway, I wore this outfit when I went to Harajuku– the activity post will be up soon!


Stripes are such a huge trend for Spring/Summer 2013, you can spot them pretty much anywhere you can think of. There are horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zigzag, and all other variations of stripes to experiment with. You can pair them with bright colors, different prints, or if you want to go "ALL-IN" you can pair them with another stripes!

Here are some ideas on how to rock Stripes:

Nautical Feel


What colors pop up in your head when you think of the word 'Summer'?
As for me: Blue and Yellow! Well, simply because they remind me of the Beach sea and sand. :)
Add some Red for a more nautical feel, and then add some neutral colors (in this case, Brown and White) to have some balance.

Fyi, the yellow Collar and the blue-striped Shirt are actually separated, and they will be in GOWIGASA's new arrivals collection next month in one package, so wait for it! ;)




By the way, did you notice that my hair was kept to one side on all the photos?
Yup! That's because of the fact that wearing certain collars makes your neck look shorter (you don't want that!). But I also can't resist wearing them as they are too adorable and can give you an instant preppy look!

So, what I usually do when wearing standing or turn-over collars (learn the difference here) is, move my hair to one side (or my back), side-braid it, tie it up, or whatever except letting it down that should do the trick.

My something new and something yellow.

My heart is reeling.
This is that fresh, that fresh feeling."
