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

What do you think?

Leopard

Top: Mi; Owl necklace: Rebel Gear

Last Saturday, we went to Eastwood for my brother's birthday dinner and here's what I wore. I believe that by now, you already know that my go-to outfit is shorts. Maybe it's because of the hot weather here in the Philippines. See, it's already mid-November, yet it's still too hot. Oh how I wish we get to dress up for the cold months of fall and winter like other countries do! Anyway, back to the wonders of shorts. I love how comfy it could get when wearing one. I also love how versatile it is. I can dress it up or down, depending on my mood or where I'm going.

 

Booties: Aldo; Spiked bracelet: Girl Shoppe

This time, I paired these high-waisted leopard shorts with a black top and booties. Instead of going with the usual black tank top underneath, I decided to go all sexy by just wearing my mauve bra underneath my top with huge armholes. I've always wanted to try that and since we were headed out on a Saturday night, I finally had the courage to do so! Yay!

Apologies from Mr. Owl! He was too shy to face the camera. Harhar.

If you would notice from the first few photos, it's not only the front part of the shorts that's printed but also the back pockets. That's why I opted for a plain top and wore just a few accessories. I wanted all the attention on the shorts. They're too awesome not to be noticed, right? 

High-waisted leopard shorts: Eye Candy Shorts

I know you're already wondering where I got this pair of shorts. It's from a local online store called Eye Candy Shorts. They specialize on very affordable printed shorts like this. Their November collection is all about animal and floral prints and if I'm not mistaken, they're actually on sale right now! I suggest you go visit their Facebook page or their Instagram account and shop for your shorts before they run out!

P.S. Don't you sense a blog giveaway coming up?! Wait for it, loves! ;-)

Let the tiger roar.

Tiger shirt: Forever 21; Cropped shorts: Armani Exchange; Booties: Aldo; Tusk necklace: Oxygen

This season, it seems like we'll be seeing lots of animal heads everywhere! Well, animal heads printed on tops, to be exact. It was seen on the fall/winter shows of brands like Burberry and Kenzo and not so long after, I've been seeing shirts/sweaters with animal heads everywhere. And I can see why it's such a hit! I mean why settle with just the animal print when you can proudly wear the entire head on your chest?

I've had this shirt for quite a long time now. It was actually my first purchase from the first Forever 21 store here in the Philippines! Since then, I've worn countless times already. I know what you're thinking: Why on earth have I not posted an outfit shot earlier? Answer is, I don't know either!

DIY studs

Anyway, since it was too hot this day, I opted to wear shorts. Um, alright, that 'it was too hot this day' was just an excuse! I just love wearing shorts. Harhar. Remember the three pairs of studded shorts I told you about here? Here's one of them. :) I finished my look with my favorite booties. Most of you are probably tired of these boots but I just can't stop wearing them!

 

Watch: TechnoMarine; Heart bangle: Gift from my brother; Black beaded bracelet: DIY; 'mica' bangle: Had it made from a high school friend!

Skull bracelet: Rebel Gear; Black cuff: Can't remember -- too old!; Spike bracelet: Girl Shoppe

For my accessories, I just kept it simple and went for the black and silver scheme.

Let me know what you think!

P.S. Have I mentioned that I will be having my first blog giveaway real soon? Watch out for it, dolls!

The Overused Booties

Top: Sent from Heaven; Leggings: Topshop; Booties: Aldo

Necklace: Promod

While planning my Sunday outfit, I thought of my Aldo booties and realized that I haven't worn it for quite a while now. Oh how I wanted to wear it again! If you're a regular here on my blog, you've probably noticed that I usually wear 'em with shorts, but since we're hearing mass, the only option left was tights. I found this never-been-worn top I bought months ago and thought it was perfect. Love how the studs are placed on the neckline -- instant neck piece! Also, see the two chains? It looks like it's part of my necklace but it's actually part of the top.

Polka

Top: Can't remember the brand but I got it from a bazaar!; Shorts: Almost Famous; Booties: Aldo

Skull bracelet: Rebel Gear; Lime green friendship bracelet: Girl Shoppe; Spike bracelet: Girl Shoppe
The others, I can't remember where I got 'cause they're really old! :p

I wore this outfit last week when my mum and I went to a not-so-high end mall just nearby our place to run some errands. She even said that what I'm wearing is too dressy for the place and that I should just save it for when we are to go to a 'nicer' place.

Truth is, it's not at all dressy. It just looks like it. Agree? I mean it's just a simple printed top and denim shorts paired together. What made the entire outfit look dressed up though are the shoes and accessories. As I've said on my previous post, this pair of shoes is my current favourite so I've been wearing it a lot recently. As for the accessories, I'm getting obsessed with bracelets, cuffs, and stuff like it and I just love to wear lots of them at the same time. Arm party! Haha.

So from this, I can truly quote Marilyn Monroe and say, Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world! ;-) What do you loves think?

Studs

Top: Rain Rain; Cropped shorts: Armani Exchange; Booties: Aldo

DIY studs

Arm party!

Remember the pyramid studs I mentioned here? Well, here's what I did to them! I've actually had three pairs of jeans which belonged to my mum in the 90's that I wanted to turn into shorts for ages but never got to do so just 'cause I was lazy. Just recently, I finally did it -- cut 'em and turned them into shorts. I also looked for pyramid studs 'cause  I know they'd be perfect for them and voila! Now I have three new pairs of high-waisted studded Armani shorts and I love all of 'em!

Here, I paired it with a really cute and unique cropped top and my favourite pair of shoes as of the moment. Also, to spice up the look a bit, I wore those bracelets, beaded cuffs, and things.

What do you guys think? :)

Modern Military

Top: Sent from Heaven; Gold & black leggings: Sent from Heaven; Booties: Aldo; Bag: Alexander Wang; Necklace: Forever 21 

Last week, I went to my friend Mavi's house and hung out the entire day. We just watched movies, ate, and had some girl talk. Later that day, I went to pick up the pyramid studs for my shorts. Moving on to my outfit, I decided to wear something really comfy since we'll just be staying in the house and probably lie in bed the whole day. Comfy = leggings! Agree?! I was excited to wear these newly-purchased ones, too, 'cause it isn't your ordinary black leggings -- it has gold thingy (whatever you call it!) on it. I paired it with this army green top I bought together with the leggings. Instant outfit, huh?

Like what I mentioned on my post yesterday (click here if you haven't read it yet), military fashion is in this season. That's why I love everything about this outfit! Even decided to go military all the way by wearing my favourite pair of shoes right now, these lovely booties! Who says you can't be comfortable and trendy at the same time?

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.

Double Trouble

Cat print top: Sent from Heaven; Skinny jeans: Zara; Booties: Aldo; Bag: Prada; Necklace: Forever 21; Friendship bracelet: Girl Shoppe

Just recently, the June-July 2012 Philippine Nursing Licensure exam results came out and last Monday, a friend threw a little thanksgiving party for passing the exam (obviously!). Most of my friends went. I was so happy to have seen those girls 'cause it's been quite a while since we last got together. Also, it was another friend's birthday so we sort of just celebrated it as well.

Moving on to my outfit, since we're only spending the day in my friend's house, I decided to just wear something simple -- top and jeans. I dressed the outfit up a bit, though, by wearing my newly-purchased (Harhar, took me forever to talk my Dad into buying 'em for me. Success!) brogues-slash-booties! What do I call it, anyway? Brogues and booties in one -- exactly why I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. ;-)
