like my girl chat videos so without further ado let's get a
well I can't believe I was able to score a dress for $12 I can barely buy lunch
for that price raise your hand if you're a dressed kind of girl because I am so
lazy when it comes to getting dressed but you know your girl wants to look
good about this dress for $12.99 which is such a steal honestly one of my queen
of discount moments I love the smock detail and the ruffly sleeves it makes
it so flirty and fun and perfect first summer what's great is since there's
this little tie here you can actually scrunch up the sleeve to transform the
sleeve into a short sleeve this dress also has two slits in the front which is
nice and airy and breezy oh my latest obsession has been midi
style dresses with this tie fret detail I love the little cutout here in the
front and I also love the jumpsuit style as well this jumpsuit is from Target it
was quite a good deal I believe this was twenty two dollars and this dress was
$40 from Urban Outfitters I love the kind of mustard a bright yellow canary
color and the is perfect for spring and summer I see myself wearing it to
weddings and picnics and a lot of nice like French hair
I wanted to talk about this gorgeous white leather jacket from t.j.maxx
I loved the studded detail on it and what really stood out to me is the
embroidered detailing on the jacket usually when I think of a leather jacket
I think of something really tough and edgy but I find out this one is quite
bohemian and really fun even though it has these silver studs on it it still
matches my style and I think it's a nice modern tank on the other jacket I got a
lot of questions about how to style mom jeans mom jeans tend to have a more
looser silhouette so I would definitely recommend wearing it with something more
fitted on the top like a crop top something like a white t-shirt tucked
into your mom jeans so these ones are my first ever pair from made while her
super comfortable really loose kind of baggy the perfect sub regime
as a petite girl I love this mini striped dress it's super cute from Urban
Outfitters I love how these stripes kind of elongate my body it also makes me
feel a lot slimmer the cross-back detail is unexpected but very fun and whimsical
it's like a party in the front and then business in the back so another trend
I've been loving has been romantic white blouses something similar to this so
this blouse was a little bit boxy when I picked it up so I decided to wear it
backwards you know I got a hack my own clothes so I love the ruffle details and
I tucked in the collar to create this v-neck line already for those of you who
are wondering what does the top actually look like on here it is that's my blouse
is a great base for overalls denim skirts anything more plain and simple I
just love the look of a crisp white top nothing beats it
next up I have these jeans from Target I've been really into experimenting with
new styles of bottoms I picked up these wide leg crop jeans it has this cute
little waist tie to cinch in your waist so I actually featured this outfit and
my nothing to wear spring video and I really loved it because it kind of gave
me that retro vibe and it's ultra comfortable kind of conservative and
minimalist
bottom I'm wearing this denim skirt from Madewell and I love the button details
and this patch here on the side this denim skirt is so incredibly comfortable
and it's really nice and stretchy
and then I also picked up these pink suede mules I love how comfortable they
are these styles of shoes are definitely
geared towards they comfy mom really comfortable and they're so cute in this
millennial pink color if you're still a skinny jean lover like I am that you
will fall in love with these jeans that I have from made while I love the light
distressing here on the thigh knee and also on the ankle skinny jeans are a
great way to balance out oversized voluminous tops and it keeps everything
nice and streamlined and sucks everything
oh man everybody stay in this hop with something that kind of looks like
chocolate I'm not really sure or maybe some cake this time as far as maybe to
go outside makes me wanna have a barbecue or to
hang out with my friends it's so freakin cute I love that's a little bit more on
the looser side so I could tuck it into my skinny jeans or mom jeans it's just
so fun and whimsical and so San Francisco so now let's move on to the
Q&A portion of this video the first question is how do I meet my boyfriend
Scott so I've been dating him for about a year and a half and we actually met
online we used the app coffee meets bagel I am
definitely the bagel and he is the coffee I'm an everything bagel by the
way we met online we really hadn't opted and I actually didn't tell him what I
did at all he had no idea that I was you know a youtuber I told him I worked in
marketing and advertising and I loved photography and videography and that was
pretty much it we went to a museum and the girl at the ticketing death she
actually recognized me and she's like oh my gosh I knew fashion bialya
oh I love your YouTube videos I'm like girl you totally gave me away but it was
a great icebreaker and I could finally talk about my passion which is making
YouTube videos and I could finally share that part of me with him question number
two how do you deal with toxic friendships I feel that there are two
types of people people who talk about other people and people who talk about
ideas I definitely prefer people who talk about ideas people who talk about
other people cause a lot of drama you want people to inspire you to pursue
your dreams motivate you to become a better person so if you feel like you
have a toxic friend in your life I think you should not feel bad to let them go
you there can be different types of toxic
people it can be people in your family it could be people at school that you
can't really escape from co-workers etc communicate that what they're saying or
their actions are not acceptable and you're hoping that they can change this
one's got a funny and kind of juicy how do you feel if someone likes you never
hurts to be straightforward and just say hey do you like me or are you interested
in me you know if you like them back and it's a mutual feeling I don't see why it
would hurt to ask okay do you like me this next question is so funny okay are
you Asian I think when I was younger I used to get offended by this question to
think how do you not know what I am if you care yes and you really want to know
it's okay to ask those questions yes I'm Asian I'm chinese-american I was
born here in San Francisco born and raised I've never lived
anywhere else except for Davis and San Luis Obispo for a short period time for
college the reason why some people question the fact that I'm Asian or not
is because of my hair color it's a slightly brown through neck color so it
kind of confuses people every now and then so yeah to answer your question
100% Chinese how do you get paid on Instagram well as a social-media
influencer you can do brand partnerships and you work with brands that you truly
love and support and you create images or videos for them and you share it on
your platform that reaches thousands of people another alternative is to use
affiliate links so things like like to no reward style shop style
collective those are really simple ways where you can earn money simply by
referring products to your followers or viewers where is my favorite place to
shop my favorite place to shop right now has to be Nordstrom I'm obsessed with
Topshop I love Asus I loved forever 21 Zara love shopping at Target or Target
Urban Outfitters oh my gosh I can go on if you're ever curious to know where
any of my clothing is from usually I have it linked in the description box of
my video or you can check out my blog fashion by alikom last but not least how
is YouTube now compared to when you started well I started youtube over
eight years ago and way back then I used to film all of my videos on a webcam so
I feel that the production value has definitely changed over the years go
with the flow and film videos on the spot whatever it felt like I did a lot
more DIYs and sewing videos whereas nowadays is more like clothing hacks and
more like lookbook style videos so the production value of that has definitely
changed I have more of a game plan when it comes to filming and editing what
hasn't changed really is I love sharing with you outfit ideas and I love just
the community aspect of YouTube put a face to a user name is so important to
me it seriously makes my day and it's my highlight to meet you guys ok I'm going
to be completely honest with you guys I've been struggling for a while because
I've built this YouTube channel for over eight years I've been consistently
uploading videos and hopes to inspire you to be the most creative self and to
empower you to be confident in the clothing that you wear in the past year
of going viral I've kind of lost touch with my viewers you guys so I would love
