What The Bag Does

The top I'm wearing here is one of those pieces I've had for a long time but never had the chance to share to you guys. Now that I do, I wore it with black leggings (worn as tights) and my Aldo booties. What I love about it's aztec print is that it's not your typical aztec. There's something different about it, though I can't tell what exactly. Maybe it's the swirls which look like S's! My studded leather bag made the entire look edgier. That's what it ever does to my outfits! That's why it's my all-time favorite bag! ;-)

Oversized Aztec

Last Thursday, I wore this outfit to work. I just love everything about this oversized shirt! It was perfect for the gloomy weather that day -- made me want to just stop working and do nothing with my friends-slash-workmates. Lazy daisy! Harhar. Anyway, since the shirt is already too loose, I paired it with something that would contrast it, leggings (worn as tights, of course!). I finished the look with my Aldo booties and Alexander Wang studded hobo bag.

Excuse the photo! See, I'm not prepared yet! Haha. At least you got a glimpse of my gold watch from Casio. :p

Geometrical

Yesterday, I opted to wear something bright, hoping and praying that it would bring me good vibes. Harhar, look who's too lazy to go back to work after three days off! I wore this pink top with geometric prints on it. Since it's already filled with squares and rectangles, I figured, why not go all out and add some more shapes, right? I used my aztec acrylic necklace from Personalized Accessories and topped my look off with my studded Alexander Wang bag. Why, hello, circles and triangles!

Edgy At Its Finest

  

Last week, I mentioned about a job interview I had here. On Thursday morning, Carla asked me if I could come back that afternoon, and I did. After a quick follow-up interview, I was told that I start the following day. Yay!! That was one early Christmas present for me! You'll know more about this new job on my next posts. For now, let me tell you about my outfit.

Originally, I was going to wear this top and wedge sneakers with a pair of shorts for our Christmas party that night at my friend Tisha's place, but since I had to go back for a follow-up interview, I can't do so anymore. I decided to wear 'em with jeans instead.

  

Even though I wasn't able to stick to my original styling, I sill loved how my look turned out. The wedge sneakers is definitely the star of this outfit! It brought out my edgy style, and the studs on my top and bag gave more character to the look. Since there's already too much going on here, I don't need to accessorize that much anymore. I just wore a simple aztec necklace and my favourite stack of bracelets.

In A Hurry

Top: Love Hate; Shorts: Mudd; Combat boots: True Love; Bag: Alexander Wang 'Hilary Leather Studded Shopper'

Usually, I plan my outfit the night before to save time in the morning. Last Friday though, that was not the case. I did not know that we were leaving. My mum just woke me up, told me that we're doing some last minute shopping for my baby brother's Christening, and asked me to get dressed. I did what I was told in so much hurry because we were leaving in less than an hour. Obviously, I don't have enough time to prepare so after a quick shower, I put on a pair of shorts and the first decent top that I found. I wore my trusty pair of combat boots to dress the outfit up a bit. I think that did the trick! ;-)

For my accessories, I put on my default stack of bracelets. These five are my favourites so I always wear them if I can and just add on a few more if I have to.

Spiked bracelet: Girl Shoppe

Again, since I didn't have time to choose more, I just added this spiked bracelet. I love how this studs and spikes combination emphasized my edgy look!

To complete the look, I wore this aztec necklace. I chose to wear a simple white necklace to match the design of my top.

Take me back to California.

Top: Sent from Heaven; Cropped shorts: Zara; Combat boots: True Love

There is something about this look that makes me feel like I'm Kendall Jenner. The moment I put on my combat boots, I felt like I'll be walking around the small town of  Beverly Hills with the paparazzi following me. HAHA. Alright, I'll stop. Forgive the ambitious me! I just really miss the place and my cousins too much.

 

Let's move on to my outfit. I knew that we will be walking around the mall all day, shopping for stuff that we will me needing and getting things done for my baby brother's Christening so I wanted to wear something very comfortable. Solution to that? Shorts and a loose top so I can freely move around and combat boots for walking! I love how laid back the look turned out.

I was also planning to buy a dress that day so I opted for less accessories for a fuss-free fitting. I mean don't you hate it when your accessories get all tangled up while you're in the dressing room? I do! It takes so much of my time! I just wore the aztec acrylic necklace I won from Laureen Uy's blog giveaway. Love how it matched my shorts!

Look how I still managed to snap a mirror shot of myself before I started fitting! Can you guess which store I bought the dress I'm wearing to the Christening from? ;-)

The Cute Dress

Dress: Buy it here; Color block heels: Brash 'Jupiter'; Aztec necklace: Girl Shoppe

Here's another outfit I "modeled" for my friend's online shop. Cute, isn't it? I paired it with my pink and purple aztec necklace and color block heels so the lavender hue would pop out. Love how the entire look turned out! Do you, too? :)

Aztec with a Twist

Aztec print top: Forever 21; Leather shorts: Forever 21

About a month ago, I bought this really cute aztec print top and leather shorts from Forever 21. Since then, I've been wanting to wear it already but I never got to 'cause I haven't been leaving the house except on Sundays. Obviously, I can't wear 'em to Church! When I heard that my aunt's having a post-birthday dinner at Bonifacio High Street, I knew exactly what I was gonna wear. I love everything about this outfit! I think they're all made for each other!

 

I love how the top is really simple on the front..

..but when you look at it from the back, it's really sexy. It's not your typical backless as well! Then cut of the top is so unique and the placement of the huge bow is just perfect. Finally, another top which doesn't cover my tattoo when worn! That's actually the best part of it!

 

Heel-less shoes: DAS

I was supposed to wear a different pair of shoes but thought that I should wear the best pair of shoes I ever owned since I haven't worn them for some time now and I miss wearing them too much. Haha.

My favourite part though, is the leather shorts. I wanted to have a pair of leather shorts for the longest time so imagine the joy when I finally bought one. More so, when I finally got to wear them! Surely, a lot more posts of me wearing this will be coming!

For my accessories, since my top is already so awesome on its own, with the print and sexy back, and my shoes screaming for all the attention it could get, I kept it at a minimum. I just threw on the red stone necklace my friend Trisha bought for a photoshoot and the simplest bracelets I own.

Denim

Denim top: Essential Teens; Skirt: Sewn with Love; Booties: Aldo; Aztec necklace: Girl Shoppe; Friendship bracelet: Girl Shoppe

I'm pretty sure that you guys have noticed that denim tops are everywhere these days! Not only have I seen them being sold in a different stores like Topshop, Zara, and Mango, just to name a few. I've also seen quite a number of people wearing one. Even my brother wants to get himself one! Anyway, now that I've already managed to actually get myself one (after what seemed like forever!), I can see why they're such a big hit. 

What I love most about it is that I can style it a hundred ways! Seriously. (Warning: More posts with me wearing this lovely denim top coming!) Here, my lazy mood on the day I wore it shows. The way I styled it was very effortless. The booties, however, dressed it up a bit. Also, I love how the top gave a boyish look but was contrasted by the femininity the skirt gave.
