Daily Outfit: Clean Slate

Almost forgot to post this hihi. It's already in my Chictopia page last weekend. Anyway, an unusual very simple outfit for work (Friday casual day). Unusual because of the simple color and style which I'm really not used to...

top: Tommy Hilfiger, given by my sister, jeans: Jag, wedges, Keds, bag: Therapy

Love Keds! It's comfy & stylish :)

bracelet & earrings: given by a friend, ring: Forever 21

I also notice that my outfits are getting a lot simpler these days... not that it's bad, by the way. I guess when I realized that I'm already 30 (I turned the big 3-0 last year), I know that my style also has to change if I have to look my age. I'm still not in that phase but hopefully I can get there. Right now, I rely on accessories instead to "quirkify" me and finish off my look. Too bad I don't have enough pics in my 20s so that I can show you how I used to style myself :D That style folks... hit or miss! I just hope that the next 10 years will give me more style wisdom and that I can streamline my look :)

Daily Outfit: Hodgepodge

Here's yet another quick post--- this time of my Friday casual work outfit. I’m not going for a particular style that's why it’s a hodgepodge of different items. My sheer top is more on the vintage/romantic side and the bag is a bit quirky...

white sheer top: bought from Australia, bag: Elements @ Landmark

 The studded wedge is somewhat edgy...

studded wedges: Mario D' Boro @ SM

...and the watch is definitely sporty :D

watch: Puma (birthday gift from friends)

  The important thing is that I still look presentable in the office hahaha. 

 I’m really looking forward to the weekend :D I’m thinking about doing thrift shopping. I kinda miss doing it… I just hope that my bed wouldn’t miss me too much :P If my plan does push through, I hope I'll be able to score great finds and post it here.

Enjoy the weekend!

Daily Outfit: Summer in November

November is suppose to be a bit chilly here in the Philippines but for some reason, it feels like it's still summer. Well anyway, I cleaned out my closet last Sunday  (yehey! after 10 million years :P) and found this dress just buried deep in abyss of clothes :D I decided to wear it today since it reminds me of summer...

dress: thrifted, belt: Landmark, bag: gift from sister, wedges: Juan @ Janylin

I was a bit lazy to transfer the things from my weekend satchel to my office bag so I worked around using it... good thing the color matches with the dress. I contrasted the soft pastel colors of the dress with black wraparound belt and black wedges.

I just wish that tomorrow will be a bit cooler. It is harder to move around when it's scorching hot!

Daily Outfit: Lady Rock

TGIF! woot!woot! This is exactly what I feel every time the calendar hits on a Friday :D Anyway, hope you had a great day today. Mine is work as always but it's ok --- it's much more bearable than Monday to Thursday hahaha.

Here's my outfit for today... a combination of hard and soft, feminine and masculine...

Lace top: Cinderella, Black Jeans: Freego: Brogue wedge: Mario D' Boro, necklace: Landmark, watch: gift

Tomorrow, we'll be going to Manila Ocean Park. This will be the second time that I'll be going there. There are a lot more attractions now than when we first went there. I'm looking forward to a weekend outing! :) I'll be posting pics from my visit there for sure.

Shoe-In!

I have this moments wherein if I start buying one item, I'll buy similar items continuously for the rest of that month. Case in point - Around late April, I bought two pairs of sandals - one from SM (here) and the other from Tomato (here). This month, I have 2 new pairs of shoes, this time for the office. If I don't have self control, I would have bought more (which will also empty my wallet :P).

Block heel shoes: bought online

 The shoes above is an online find --- specifically from a Facebook online buyer. It was pre-ordered from Korea. I have block heels in brown but I've been looking for a black one for the longest time. I know that block heels are no longer in style, but I really don't care 'coz  it's a type of heels that can support my (rather) fat legs :D I have a higher change of not tripping or experiencing sprains again :) It's comfy too. The bow is just a nice feminine touch and the material is not the usual leather - its actually corduroy.

Wedges: Juan by Janylin

 The wedge heels is my latest purchase. It was bought at Glorietta 5. Initially, I didn't have any intentions of going to Glorietta 5 'coz it's out of the way. However, I needed to buy something at a shop located there and I happen to see a Sale sign at Janylin :D I guess it's fate that lead me to buy this :P I was hesitant in the beginning to buy the shoes but thinking that I rarely go to Glorietta 5 and that it was on sale, I walked out of the store carrying a plastic bag with a box of new shoes :) Wedge heels are also comfy, and again, can support my legs without wobbling.

The two items are both in black and their styles are simple. I usually don't like 'simple' styles when it comes to shoes, but given that I usually buy more printed outfits, I needed simpler shoes to go with it. In the end, I'm very happy with my purchases... but now, if I can just bury my wallet and credit card somewhere.....

Style Inspirations

Yesterday, I browsed through the pics of the latest Harry Potter movie premiere... Emma Watson looked stunning in a black lace and feather dress! She's such a fashionista :D How I wish that I was that stylish when I was her age :) I also browsed through the pics of Kate Middleton (she's currently in the news because of her engagement to Prince William --- lucky girl :P ). Even if she's not yet married to his prince, her style is already commanding presence and respect. Prince William did choose wisely :)

Speaking of fashionable ladies, I thought to myself who I admire fashion-wise. I came up with a list of my style inspirations and why I admire them:


1. Emma Watson - she didn't went through much of an awkward stage... so blessed!
2. Carey Mulligan - love her *quirky* fashion choices
3. Zooey Deschanel - same reason as Carey Mulligan :)
4. Ginnifer Goodwin - not too quirky like the 2 & 3 but fashionable none the less
5. Michelle Obama - she leans towards the classic side but not at all stiff for a first lady... I admire her love of color and accessories too
6. Rachel Bilson - she's a fashion risk taker but still knows what looks good on her
7. Taylor Tomasi-Hill - has amazing accessories....

I'm pretty sure there are still a lot of fashionable ladies around but these 7 are on top of my mind...

Starting today, I will introduce a featured item or items... items that I'm happy to show you guys, accessories that I made, items that I have plans of selling (in the future... I plan to open an online store *cross fingers*), or any random things that I fancy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being boastful here... as a thrift shopper, I find items that are *inexpensive* but beautiful (to me anyway :P)...

Enjoy!

Featured item/s of the day:


One of my "classic" shoes... I love the thick heels as it can carry my (heavy) weight :D

(bit of a) "quirky" shoes... love the floral print... dainty and girly... but not quite classic
