Red, Black, and White

Here's another outfit worn to work! Red, black, and white. I believe there's no other color combination that's more classic than this! It's my favorite as well 'cause you can never go wrong with this combo. The piece that I like best from this outfit though is the striped top. The print added more character to the entire look.

Striped top: Zara; Skinny jeans: Forever 21; Bag: Alexander Wang 'Hilary Leather Studded Shopper'

Gold watch: Casio; Black beaded bracelet: DIY; Silver bangle: Gift from my brother

Also, instead of wearing my black watch, I wore my gold Casio watch to give a little contrast to the colors I'm wearing.

Red ballet flats: Shoe Room -- one of the comfiest ballet flats I ever owned!

Denim Vest

I've had this denim vest for quite some time now and on Sunday, I finally got to wear it for the first time. It's actually from a really old denim jacket! One night, I found the jacket in my mum's closet, realized that no one's using it anymore, and cut 'em! And I must say, it turned out just the way I wanted it to! I wore it over a grey tank tucked in a bandage skirt. I finished my look with my favourite pair of shoes at the moment, my wedge sneakers!

Animalia

Now that the holidays are over, it's time to get back to more important things a.k.a work! Ugh. Why can't the holidays last a little longer?! Haha. Don't get me wrong, though! I'm really thankful that I have a job right now. ;-) This outfit is actually what I wore to work the other day. I chose to wear this top and paired it with skinny jeans. I wanted to enhance it's print so I went for shoes, a bag, and accessories in the shade of gold/brown. Imagine wearing this outfit with black flats and a different bag. The look would have had a different turn out.

Happy New Year's!!

This might be a little too late but happy new year's, loves! 2012 has been an amazing year, filled with lots life-changing events -- I graduated college with honors, fulfilled my dream of becoming a Fashion Stylist, have had work experiences (both fashion-related and not!), and received a wonderful blessing which is my baby brother, just to name a few. Most of all, I've started this style blog. To all my readers, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting me for the past six months!! :)

Lately, I haven't been posting a lot because of my busy schedule (Really sorry, loves!) but this brand new year, I'll do my best to post more often than I used to! Here's to a fresh new start not only for us, but also for my blog!

Top: Love Hate; Leather shorts: Forever 21; Wedge sneakers: Forever 21

It has been our tradition as a family to spend New Year's Eve in our home, so I don't really get to dress up. I didn't bother to take outfit shots that night anymore 'cause what I wore wasn't woth sharing here. On New Year's Day however, my family and I went to Eastwood and here's what I wore. I just had to wear my favourite pair of shoes at the moment again! From there, I looked for something that would go with it and came up with this lovely new top and my leather shorts.

Since my top is already detailed, I didn't wear a necklace anymore. There had to be an arm party, though! It's new year's after all, right?! Harhar. I wore my new Casio watch and my favourite bracelets to finish my look! What do you think about it? According to my cousin, I look like a Hollywood celebrity off duty! Heehee. I just love the effortless vibe this look gave!

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!

Aztec acrylic necklace: Personalized Accessories

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

What do you think?

Pink Collar

Top: Sent from Heaven; Skinny jeans: Forever 21; Color block heels: Brash 'Jupiter'

Let's do away with outfits that are for sale, shall we? For the past few days, I've been blogging about the clothes that we shot for my friend's online store. Now (at least for now), let me blog about something I really wore outside.

While planning for my Sunday ensemble, all I knew was that I wanted to wear this pair of color block heels. I've totally forgotten about them until our shoot and I wanted to bring it back to life!

As always, I can't wear anything too revealing because we hear mass so I wore skinny jeans. I suddenly realized I haven't worn jeans for what seemed like forever, I forgot how comfy it was! Anyway, since I wanted my shoes to stand out, I just wore a simple white top and finished the look with this pink peter pan collar necklace.

 

Peter pan collar necklace: K-Fab

I've always wanted to buy a collar necklace but I just couldn't find something that I really like, something unique. Yes, collar necklaces are being sold everywhere but admit it, the designs are too limited. Thanks to K-Fab, my little problem was solved! I haven't seen collar necklaces similar to this! Have you?! I love how the design resembles lace -- made it look like it's really part of my top from afar.

Of course, I could not forget about the arm party! Haha. Lately, I never leave the house without wearing a stack of bracelets and most likely, this would go on for quite a while! Just a few days ago, I bought two new bracelets to add to my collection -- the Love/Peace and braided bracelets -- and I just had to wear them!

Sneakers Kind of Day

Cropped top: DIY from an old Junk Food shirt; Denim cutoffs: Armani Jeans

Yesterday, I went to my friend Tisha's place for a shoot for her upcoming online store. I, together with Weng and Ayie, modeled the clothes. Harhar. I know what you're thinking: A 5'2" model? Um, yeah. Nothing is impossible, you see! Heels were my best friend yesterday! It was so much fun -- modeling for the first time, goofing around with friends, laughing our hearts out, and catching up after not seeing each other for three months.

Anyway, before I get too emotional here, let's move on to my outfit. Since I know that I will be changing my clothes too many times, I decided to wear something really comfy, something that won't give me a difficult time to remove nor wear countless times.

  

Printed bandeau: Forever 21; DIY studs

See that cropped top I'm wearing? I was the only one who cut those! My friends even had their shirts cut by my proud self. :D And remember the three pairs of shorts I mentioned here and here? Here's the third and my favourite pair!

Sneakers: Converse Chuck Taylor

To complete my outfit, I donned on my really old pair of trusty Chucks. It's been years since I last wore these and yesterday, I just felt like wearing 'em. I thought that it looks good with my outfit too, instead of my overused booties that I'm sure you guys are tired of seeing me in.

Skull bracelet: Rebel Gear; Black beaded bracelets: DIY; Friendship bracelet: Girl Shoppe; 'mica' bangle: Had it made from a high school friend!

Lastly, accessories. I kept them to a minimum since I'll be removing them once I start to dress up for the shoot anyway. Just a few bracelets in colors from my top.

Halfway through the shoot, I found time to goof around with the huge mirror that my friend Rowena and I loved so much! Haha. Tomorrow, I just might post behind the scenes photos and photos of my crazy friends! 

My tired self after the shoot!

Yesterday was too tiring but it was all worth it! I'll tell you more about it and Tisha's online store tomorrow!

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!

Studs

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? :)
