Pumped Up Kicks

I've been wanting to buy a pair of wedge sneakers for months, but it was too difficult for me to decide 'cause first, I'm not sure if I'd really get to wear it and second, I couldn't find a store selling one. Sure, there are a lot of online shops who do but I want to try 'em on first before I decide if I really want it. Yesterday, I finally solved my dilemma! I went to Forever 21 to check if they have the gold sneakers that I also want in my size. When I got to the shoe section, they they were: wedge sneakers in different colors! My goodness, I died!! Haha. Right then and there, I forgot about the gold sneaks!

Top: Love Hate; Leggings: Topshop; Bag: Alexander Wang 'Hilary Leather Studded Shopper'

Earlier today, we went to Greenhills so I got to wear it for the first time already. Since I don't have time to experiment with my outfits just yet, I tried to keep it simple first and paired it with black leggings and a grey oversized top. What do you think? Also, if you have suggestions on how to wear wedge sneakers, let me know! ;-) For now, let me talk about the sneaks itself.

 

Grey & silver wedge sneakers: Forever 21

The real reason why I love 'em so much is the added height it gives me -- I'm three inches taller in them! I appear taller without looking too dressed up, unlike when I'm wearing heels. They're really very comfy, too! I can seriously walk all day. I also love how the wedges are concealed, making it look just like your ordinary sneakers. I love 'em so much, I just might get another pair in a different color, or who knows, maybe even the Isabel Marant ones, which is the original when it comes to wedge sneakers, if I still am in love with them after quite some time!

Dressed to Kill: SS Magazine

It was a good morning, indeed! You loves wanna know why? It's 'cause I woke up to a tweet from Allison Beal, founder of Style Saint, saying that today's SS Magazine was inspired by one of my StyleBooks. Oh, I'm so honored, thanks so much, Saint Allison! :"> If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check this out.

Sheer it is!

Earler today, I met up with my best friend Carla at Town & Country Executive Village for a job interview. Everything was actually last minute. When she went to my place yesterday, she told me everything about it and in the afternoon, she recommended me. After a few minutes, I found out that I'll be interviewed today. Define spontaneous, right? Anyway, I'll just tell you more about it if I get accepted. Harhar.

Let's move on to what's important here: my outfit. Carla told me that it's a very informal thing so I don't have to dress all corporate. She asked me to just wear casual clothes. Given that, I opted for a sheer top. There's just something about it that makes it classy -- perfect for the look I'm aiming for: not too formal, not to casual. Usually, I just wear my bra or a bandeau underneath this sheer top, but since it's a job interview we're talking about here, I made sure to cover up a bit and wore a tank top instead. I wore jeans to dress down the top a bit and finished my look with a simple ballet flats.

Tribal necklace: Forever 21

Lastly, I kept my accessories to a minimum and wore this tribal necklace, my default stack of bracelets, and a ring.

Here's a photo of me with Carla, taken by her friend Dylan.

What do you think? ;-)

Circles and Sequins

Top: Get it here; Shorts: Armani Jeans; Sandals: My friend Tisha's; Necklace: Girl Shoppe

I'm sure you still remember the shoot we had a month ago for my friend's online store. I just realized that there are still a couple of outfit photos left for me to show you guys. Here's one of them. I think this outfit is perfect for those days when you are so lazy to dress up but just have to.

 

The print of this top would do the trick. I love how some of the circles are made of sequins. It added the much needed sparkle to the look, don't you think?
