Subdued

Oh hello February, why so fast? Just like that and one month down? Anyway, It's official I.REALLY.LOVE.THIS.PAIR.OF.SHOES. Haha. I know, I'm stating the obvious. Just please don't get tired of seeing them ok cause I sure won't. :) 

Enough of the overrated shoes. Let's move on to my outfit - "Subdued" it is because my color palette was kind of conservative, plain and toned-down. So I thought its the best time for my very pink Nixon TimeTeller to shine and pop from all the grays and blacks.

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).

Floral Shorts: Topshop

Arm Candies:  HappyBoon

 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.

Praise God for a very very good weather in Manila these past few days. I love that it is just partly sunny during the day, not scorching and there's this cold breeze during the night. Makes me want to spend more time with my bed and pillows. The best part? I could wear my sweaters again! :) Last December was just like Summer, so didn't enjoyed the weather as much. What's happening with mother Earth?

Wedge Sneakers: Promod

I've got a thing for comfortable-chic shoes, when I found one I tend to overuse them and afterwards get sad when they are ruined or something. Speaking of which is the wedge sneakers trend - which I really love! I know the trend has been around for a while now and I got frustrated when I wasn't able to get a pair from Topshop or Forever 21 last year because they were so in-demand that time. This pair I got from Promod just recently were a great substitute if you can't afford pairs from Isabel Marant, Giuseppe Zanotti or Marc by Marc Jacobs like me. They're not as luxe but they definitely do the same trick in fashion. Honestly, if i can, I'd love to have more in different colors like these pictures below that I collected from random sites typing "wedge sneakers". :))

 Well, we will see. For now, let's be happy with what we got. :))

Wore this to church service yeasterday in celebration of Grand New Year. If you are a constant visitor of my blog, you have probably noticed already that my style is more of on the comfortable-street-relaxed-trendy-laidback-edgy side rather than the girly-girl-dainty-high-end-classic type. So yah, I don't do "typical sunday dress" on Sundays. 

Aviator: Gucci

 Skirt: K2

I love how this skirt is making a statement on its own. When I first saw it at the Supersale Bazaar last December, I fell in love instantly so even if I kinda said that I am not going to shop, I couldn't resist it and went back to the booth, bought a Fuchsia pink blazer also. :)

Bracelets: HAPPYBOON

Bag with Gold Studs (a gift from le boyfriend): FOREVER 21

 Boots: HK

Oh, have you noticed my newly colored and cut hair? Its not obvious but it has copper low-lights, my hair was so blonde before my stylist Bunny applied it. The copper made it reddish. <3

Hello 2013!

Everything happens for a reason, and though a lot of bad, painful, sad and challenging situations I have experienced in 2012 I cannot deny the fact that I am also blessed with the good ones. 

Each and every one of us has a battle that only we can also overcome. No matter how big or small, we must face it with great courage, heart full of hope and a mind with God's wisdom. 

Skirt: FOREVER 21

Leopard Inner Top: my Mom's 

Military Jacket: Kirin Kirin

Arm Candies: HAPPYBOON / Watch: Parfois

Boots: from Hong Kong

The hardest and painful things happened to me this year and without experiencing them I would never find out that I am stronger than I thought I am. Pastor's once said in Sunday service, "mourn as much but be sure to rejoice a lot more", because you are still here, and there is still hope. 

In 2013, I've made a decision to leave all the bad memories behind and just start anew. I don't know what the future holds for me but one thing I know for sure is that I have God, and as long as He's in control I don't have to be afraid cause great things are about to come.

To everyone, Happy New Year and may the Almighty God bless us all with a great one!
To God, I am so excited for what you have in store for me - let's do this! 

"For everything give thanks, for this is the will of Christ Jesus concerning you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
