Snake(y) Sunday

Forgive the cheesy title, I couldn't resist. Wasn't supposed to post anything today but I realized might not get to do it tomorrow. Anyway, here's an outfit I wore yesterday when I headed out. Even though it's a couple of months old already, I'm still loving the snakeprint trend. I still have several items I haven't used before that I know I should wear. Here are the pics. (Oh, this time no special editing effects. :)

My final look before I headed out the door. Had to switch to my trusty Chucks since I realized I needed to drop by the grocery to get some stuff. Makes it so much easier to navigate around those aisles.

 Just plopped down the floor at the last minute trying to beat the timer. I suck at smiling but I guess I should smile more, yeah?

Okay, just one edited image. :) These were the shoes I had planned to wear. Have had them for some time but they never get the exposure or use they deserve. I've always settled for function over fashion. I really should learn to make fashion sacrifices now. 

Hope you have a great week ahead! Cheers!

Let's Be On-Trend, Baby

Thanks to everyone who gave their comments on the last post! It was nice to know your thoughts about the subject and most of you guys are actually open to having tattoos or already have one. As for me, I think i'll definitely get that new tattoo on my arm soon. Of course, I'll share it here when I do.

On to the post. This is sort of a buffer since I'm currently up to my neck with work and other projects which I'll be sharing here in the next few weeks. These are a couple of things that I got about a week or two ago (when I wasn't on a shopping ban yet. :) 

Tribal Mecca

1. Navajo inspired maxi skirt (thrifted)

2. Printed long top/blouse (Batikz)

3. No name Aztec sky blue shorts ( too short for my taste so I need to do something to make them a tad longer)

Anarchy in the UK

1. Nautical/UK flag maxi dress (love this!) - Batikz

2. British inspired top/mini dress - Brenda's Closet

3. DIY US flag shorts (You can also get these at Topshop or at Chicwish)

March of the Vintage

1. Vintage print Anya Hindmarch Tote Bag - Selections of Esmeralda

2. Vintage Liz Claiborne Tapestry Bag

I was doing so good with my shopping ban until I saw this baby from 52 Sundays. I  caved in and got it. It's on its way to me as we speak. I'm not proud of balking on my ban but hey, it's important to make yourself happy! (That's what I whisper to myself every night before I sleep to stop the guilt. lol)  Anyway, i'm off to check out your lovely blogs! Oh, and yeah, work. :) Cheers!

Closet Additions: Leather + Denim + Snakeskin + Gold + Blazers

Yay, Blogger is finally working again, so glad. Haven't been heading out lately so no outfit post for now. My days during midmonth and end of month are always a little hectic due to deadlines left and right. So for now, I'm just sharing a couple new additions to my closet. Some items are thrifted while others were bought online. Enjoy!

Believe it or now, these two faux leather vests (above and below) are actually thrifted! Adore the cute tips on the collar of the first one and the horn locks + knitted combo for the second one is perfect. They're both in excellent/mint condition too! This is probably the closest to leather anything I can wear in this country so I'm quite happy that I found them.

Weird story about the leather highwaist shorts. I actually didn't get it the same day as the vests. I came back the next day to the same thrift shop because I was looking for more items for my shop and there it was. I have a feeling they were actually a set. This one is exactly my size so it was thrilling. On the other hand, the gold top was bought online from Pre Lurved. It's so pretty. I'm craving for a lot of gold things lately. Waiting for the weather to give in so I can wear this top. 

Love these so much!! Got the Isabela Kristina shorts & Vest online from Martha FashionBazaar. Can't wait to wear these. Don't think I'll use them at the same time but yeah, love them both. For the cream colored dress/top, also got it online at Batikz Selectzone. 

Aren't the colors lovely? Got the teal blazer and jeans from Hera's Closet Preloved Items and the red replica Marc Jacobs jacket from another FB seller. 

Finally, (sorry this is a bit long) one of my favorite new bags. Also got this from a Facebook seller, Selections By Esmeralda. Love her bags so much. 

I'm tellin' you, I can live at home and still get pretty much most of the things/items I want! Don't you just love the internet? Of course, my bank account is complaining so I better put a cap on it soon...if I can. Cheers!
