Aquatic

Since summer is just around the corner, the hot temperature leaves us with no choice but to wear at least, summer-esque clothes. That identifies with my floral shorts and cool color palette that you see on this outfit. To create some balance with the colors, i opted to use different shades of brown for my accessories - bag, shoes and watch.

Hello Summer, I can feel you already! And the perfect way to celebrate you is to wear something light and floral of course.

Onto my outfit: Wore this to a working day strolling from one mall to another. As you can see a cover-up (blazer, cardigan, vest, button-down, etc.) can do so much in an outfit. It can turn a very basic tank and denim into something put-together and not boring.

Mixed Media

Denim, florals, pastels, neons, aztec, metals, studs, leather, suede and spikes; you will find them all in my outfit. When different materials are combined all together in an artwork, they are labelled "Mixed-media" (ok, not that I'm one best example of an artwork).

 Aztec Nail Art - I'll find time to blog about how you can do this at home! Did it myself. Don't worry, it's not manually painted. :)

Bag: Forever 21

 Wedge Sneakers: Promod

Hah! after I bought this pair of shoes, I wore them for 3 straight days already. Loving it so much because aside that it is "swag" (lol) there these 2 major factors - extra height and comfort. Just what I needed. Anyway, these whole outfit is something that I could wear everyday. Casual yet edgy, comfortable chic and very me.

Reminds Me of Hawaii

Picked out the most comfortable clothes and shoes I could wear to the battlefield I called "Shopping in December". The most wonderful time of the year and the most inconvenient too due to traffic, crowd and all but I still love it! Buying gifts for your love ones and for your self as well is the most fun thing to do.

 

Why the title? It's so obvious. Ironic though, I'm sporting summer in December. :)

Hello BER Months!!!

Wow, time flies really fast! Can't believe that its going to be just 109 days before Christmas!

These photos have been in my archive since last month and i don't know what on Earth happened why i haven't blogged about this earlier, guess I was just really busy with other more important things. 

Anyway, on to my outfit: Wore this to a "casual mini photo-shoot" I and Neil did for my online shop HappyBoon. Channeling Print-on-Print was really fun! Have you ever thought of pairing polka-dots with floral ever? Well in the "fashion world" its not new now, this trend has been both on the streets and the runways ever since i can remember and If you learn how to do it right (make sure not have a fashion faux pas) you are going to enjoy it every time, I swear! If you are doing it for the first time, do not be afraid because there are some "rules" how to do it properly. OK, let me just share some basic "rules" then you may experiment from there. :)

Based from the picture below, I'm wearing a floral printed top over a polka-dot pleated skirt. Even they belong from a different group of patterns, they looked good together because (Key) they have similar colors in them (but not necessarily all the same). 

So if you want to try this out I suggest, start pairing different prints but with the same colors, colors close to each other or of the same family (ie. Blue-Blue Green-Green or Red-Yellow-Orange) You may go for monochromatic in here also. If you are not comfortable wearing bold or bright colors, try mixing prints in neutral colors (ie. black and white on black and white or Beige-Taupe-Mocha) By doing so, the whole look won't look trashy or cluttered but very put-together. 

Look at some examples below.

Enjoy!!! :)

Pajamas For a Stroll

Top and Pants: Forever 21 / Watch: Parfois / Necklace and Bangle: HappyBoon / Bag: HappyBoon /Shoes:  Espaolas

Pardon my messy hair, you have no idea how irritated i was with the wind that time since i wanna get the shots done fast because people have been walking around the area and I was kind of getting their attention already (in Mall of Asia).

Well, the weather in Manila right now is just cray, it's been raining hard everyday and every morning is a fight between my duties and my pillows and comforters. That explains why I went to work with my PJs, haha. Kidding aside, they really feel like one, very comfortable and this neon lemon-y top with cuts on shoulders is just a perfect match to it. 

Godbless

Summer Breeze

Top and Skort: Muffin / Bag: Parfois / Wedge: Espanolas / Bracelet and Necklace: HappyBoon

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine Blowing through the jasmine in my mind......lalalala

Ok, sorry for a very oldies intro. It was stuck in my head since i typed it as my title.

Anyway!

You know those days when you don't know or simply you're just too lazy to put up and match an outfit from head to toe - grab a dress! Like what i did in this look, and instead of pairing colorful matching bag and shoes, i opted to wear gray just to tone it down a bit.

Yay! will try to maintain this posting habit.

Happy Weekend!

Oh! and speaking of weekend, there are so many stores out there conducting their mid-year sale.

Ugh, temptations. Sweet temptations. :) But i think i won't be going to the malls, instead you'll see me here..
