leather studded vest by Phil Lapinid of BimBim Haus, Mango tank, vintage "headline" print shorts, Parisian SS2011 booties
I am someone who kind of refuses to budge when it comes to the things I wear. I will always approach new trends with caution. That's just me.I'll always hope to have that kind of panache to be able to pull new trends off REALLY well, much like a lot of my favourite bloggers do. I might cave in and try a lot of crazy awesome trends eventually, but for the moment i stick to my basic blacks and neutrals, because they are easy and they go well with everything.
IMO, a good leather jacket or vest is quintessential and very timeless. I was truly ecstatic when I found out that fellow Cebuano blogger Philip Lapinid decided to give me a fully custom studded leather vest from his new business endeavor, BimBim Haus, which is all about truly hard-edged customized one-offs and fabric treatments. Young Phil is inspired by anything from The Blonds to Jeremy Scott to Kris Van Assche, and his influences flow deep in his customized pieces.

I also trooped over to SM to get a new pair from their SS2011 shoe collection. ACKKKKKK! Must stay away from that department, seriously. Talk about ripping holes in my pocket!
