Post-Holiday Red and Gold

Steve Madden zipper satchel, thrifted top, Forever 21 skirt and cuff, Tonic Tatum cut-out booties, Cotton On metal plate belt Am I a bit too late for the holiday festivities with this red and gold ensemble?

NAVA hat | knit top and side-slit skort, both thrifted | ankle strap flats from BU6 | Celine-inspired bag from Persunmall Hello everyone! Officially beginning 2014 with my first outfit post... taken very much last year during the holiday heyday. Yeah, it's still backlog-ridding time!:) Not much to say about this outfit, really. It's pretty simple, and I wore it buying additional gifts...

Celine Me Alone

I really do wish Celine would leave me alone. Heck, I wish Alexander Wang, Phillip Lim and all of them would leave me alone, too! Hehehe... there isn't one internet moment where I'm not drooling over their new releases and thinking to myself, "I'll save up so I can get that next year for sure". Then "next year" rolls over, and again, I'll be...

In the Clear

Boy, keeping up sure is hard to do sometimes-- at least where blog posting is concerned. Take this outfit post for example-- something I wore to the Make Your Own Havaianas 2013 in Cebu event, sometime early August (which explains my very late "that Zara skort") post hehe. I know I have a serious backlog problem. Stress! I very much promise I'm working on...

Bondage and Lace

Y'all know dresses aren't really my thing, and they don't really have a special affinity for me as well. I used to be able to decently pull off a killer bodycon or backless dress, but now, I'm staying away. I'm blaming my growing muffin top for that. But then I got a really pretty dress as a gift, which appealed to that "inner...

OOTD: Streamlined and Numbered

Hello, lovers! Guess what? I've finally figured out how to blog with an Ipad, hahaha. I know. Hello, 21st century! Technological ignorance aside, though, it's quite a gamechanger for me--I might actually be getting rid of my backlogs faster than I thought. Crossing my fingers! 85 shirt and earrings, Chicnova | leather snapback cap, Gaisano | leather paneled pants, Romwe | studded bag,...

OOTD: Brooklyn Night

Hello lovers! I'm currently taste-testing new booze selections here at the workplace (as in, right now haha). I'm currently splitting like, 9 cocktails with our head of administration and sales,  so pardon me if I might end up sounding a bit... tipsy by the end of this post. :D ...

OOTD: Camo and Lucite Pride

I think my hair (in this picture, at least, which is more than a month old) just had its very first natural "unicorn pooping a rainbow"moment. Please give me a moment to gush and be like, "totes pretty!" I'm looking at my hair in this picture with a tinge of regret after of course, less than a month later, I would totally nuke...

Cartoon Heroes

I know we're past spring-summer (quick insert: I know it's rainy season and all, but the flooding has to stop. dear government por favor do something asap!) and all, but I'm still totally loving this Tonic transparent clutch which I acquired a couple of months ago. Cute, right? It's pretty simple yet it somehow sticks with you. Aforementioned clutch I know we're past...

Mesh and Cut Outs: a Topshop Three-Way Dress

I used to really love body-con dresses. Emphasis on "used to". These days were, of course, from way back when I was happily single and only really cared about being 'thin' and looking fabulous. Body-con dresses and tight confections were mainstays in my closet, and back then, thought that was the height of my sartorial consciousness.  Fast forward to the present, where after I...

OOTD: Severe Simplicity

Geometric dress from Charm of Everyday Sundaes (acquired during BU4) | transparent clutch with studs from Tonic at The Maze Hipzone | sandals from Staccato  In my honest opinion, there's something as equally striking with severe minimalism and simple shapes as literally "loud" prints and one-off clothing structures.  I'm glad that I've always preferred minimalist items with an "edge" anyway, because these items...

The Unboxing: Jeffrey Campbell Soiree

Jeffrey Campbell "Soiree" (available here ) I love shoes as much as the next girl. Okay, maybe just a weeetle bit more than the normal girl. But after so many years of incessant impulse purchases and hoarding of trendy styles which I know won't get much wear in my closet (I'm talking about you, heelless shoes), I felt like I needed a change of perspective. It...

Hologram Love

 Wearing a hologram geometric tee from Yves Identify | Forever 21 bandage skirt | Metro hat | Zara mustard yellow clutch and heels A couple of months ago, I got the pleasure of hanging out with two of my favorite Cebuana bloggerettes Gizelle and Chyrel over some milkteas and a lot of catch-up talk. In the few months that I lived like a hermit because...
