WMTW (Wear Me This Way): Denim Jacket

To continue on in my obsession of anything denim. (check out previous post below.) Here's some inspiration on how to wear one basic item that I'm sure most of us have in our closets: the denim jacket.

Two Leopards and a Fringe

Wow, haven't posted for 5 whole days! I'm gearing up to reopen my shop so things have slightly been out of whack. Apart from selling vintage & thrifted items, I'll be trying my hand on remaking vintage stuff so it's a bit more tedious than before. I'm not really sure why I love punishing myself with so much work at one time but I already started so might as well give it a try. lol.  Putting up an outfit post again, yay! Haven't done this in awhile so here goes. :)

The leopard maxi skirt was something I had for awhile now. I was telling my mom one time about how bummed I was that I didn't get this leopard print skirt on ebay and she remembered that she saw this at a thrift shop. Guess it was for me because when I went to the thrift store the next day it was still there! This made me a happy camper but for some reason I haven't worn it until now.

And finally got a fringe again! Also cut off about an inch or two of my hair. Was really tempted to tell my hairstylist to chop it at shoulder length but I resisted the urge because I know I'm going to get really impatient waiting for it to grow back out again. 

By the way, thanks for all of the beautiful comments you left! I enjoy reading each one. :) Also, hi to my new followers! Cheers!

Is it Really The Same Girl? (Kristen Stewart for W Magazine)

I know this will be all over the blogosphere so forgive me if you've seen this a gazillion times already. lol. I'm not a super fan of Kristen Stewart but I do like her style on the red carpet and how she always seems to prefer comfort over glam. Hence, it was quite surprising to see her all dolled up as a 60s style vixen for this photoshoot from W magazine (Sept 2011). I love it! The retro vibe is just perfect and she looks stunning. Seriously, if it didn't have her name on it, I wouldn't even know it's her.

A Taste for Tokyo

Fashion is all about expressing your individuality and personal taste. For me, it has nothing to do with brands, how expensive or how cheap your clothes and accessories are, but more about how you put it together and how you feel in what you're wearing. However, there are times that despite feeling super confident about what I've come up, once I'm outside, people's stares often make me think twice about what I've put on. (To think I wear pretty "regular" stuff, no Lady Gaga outfits at all!)

Normally, I really don't care but at times when I wake up at the wrong side of bed or just experiencing a weird quirk in an otherwise healthy self-esteem, a tiny voice invades my little head causing me to doubt and cower. Not sure if you've ever felt this way as well, but everytime it happens to me I always start wishing that we could live in a society where we don't need to judge another person by what they wear or how they look. That's aiming for too much too soon I know, but yeah, that would be nice.

Whenever these thoughts parade around me, I always look to Tokyo Fashion to perk me up. (<--that just sounded like a promo right there, sorry. lol. I'm not affiliated with them at all.) No, I wouldn't have the spine to wear most of what these amazing people are wearing but I love the fun and creativity they put into their fashion. Plus, how they don't give a shit about how they look to others.

DIY Post: Random Projects

Here are several DIYs I've done before that I never got a chance to post. Hope you'll find some inspiration in these. :)

This will be available on my FB online shop in the next few weeks.

Made this because I missed summer so much. Will probably sell similar tops in the shop soon.

I only (half) finished one pair so far. lol. Will finalize and add more details to this and the other pair in the next few days. 

Ichigo and a Satchel

Remember the blog giveaway that I won? Here's my prize! 

Isn't it lovely? For months I've been eyeing this satchel bag because I know it would fit most of my stuff including my laptop. Just when I finally decided to order it, I received an email from Aisa of Drowning Equilibriums (check out her blog!) that I won her Ichigo giveaway! Of course, I put in this bag as my choice for the prize.

Before I show you pics of the store, here's a quick outfit shot of sorts. Took this shot against a wall of mirror in one of the stores. Just used my phone so forgive me for the quality and my stringy fringe. Badly need a haircut I know. lol

I went with my friend, Noella, to claim my prize. Hope she doesn't kill me for posting her pic. :) 

Here's the Ichigo store at Shoppesville in Greenhills.

This one's from their lower ground section. Love that little owl. They also have the same design on their shoe boxes. So cute. :)

Colorful handpainted bangles.

You can drop by their store at 3rd Floor Atrium Lane in Shoppesville Greenshills. They also have a mini display shop at Theatre Mall Greenhills, Lower Ground Floor, Missouri Lane L37. (The lady there is very nice. :) Also visit their Multiply site: http://ichigoshoes.multiply.com/. Thanks to Ms. Aisa and Ichigo again! 

On a different note, hello to my new followers and to everyone that's dropped by the blog. Thank you so much! I promise to be more consistent with my updates this month now that a huge chunk of my "responsibilities" are finally put aside. Expect more DIYs, outfit posts and features in the next few weeks. Checking your blogs dearies! Cheers!
