Ha[u]te Me Not

Congrats if you read this post title without singing to the tune of "Problem" by Ariana Grande. This is just me trying to write a post while listening to Ariana's hit, as you can see I am having a terrible time concentrating. I should probably stop rapping the parts sung by Iggy. Lol. So here's what's up on this #WIWT (a.k.a. What I Wore Today) I love mixing sweet items like this cutesy floral top (which I previously wore here ) with tough items like these PU leather shorts and jacket, both from Romwe . The jacket instantly turns this casual outfit into a night time look. Leather jackets = life's cheat code for night appropriate wear <3 For added drama, I tied a long handkerchief from Armando Caruso into a bow headband just above my bangs. The navy blue shade matches the tiny blue flowers on my top. And to keep this look toned down, I wore these nude stilettos from Memorata by Celine . These do not only lengthen my teeny legs, they are ...

// Ribcage black jumper : Romwe // Ankle strap peep-toe shoes : The Ramp Crossings // // Canvas leather rucksack : random finds // Hi there my beach hair loving babes! Another lookbook post with me in, guess what? the outdoors! I find that everything looks better under natural light, and the clear blue skies and crystal waters gives this look the highlight it deserves. I am wearing this black ribcage jumper that I have been dying to try out for weeks. This look reminds me of something StyleNanda would wear on their flagship openings :) I love wearing this over bodycon skirts, but this would also look amazing on distressed high waisted shorts as well. These shoes are an oldie but goodie, I love wearing them on days when I want to make my legs look like they can go for miles. And oh, if you haven't checked it out yet- you can hype this look and check out more of my outfits on my lookbook page below. Happy browsing! :)

    Ever since I got addicted to Claire Marshall 's lifestyle blog, I have been obsessed with the basic black and white tops. It has been ages since I pulled this shirt up and out from my closet, and I wonder why I haven't gone back to my basic black/grey/white ensemble since then. You can never go wrong with black, after all. To make this outfit a bit more interested, I wore my Romwe round glasses around my collar to give this simple top a little bit of shape. And oh, you may not be able to see it, but this top from Forever 21 has a wonderful chain cut at the back. cross detail earrings / forever21 tree branch wall decal / diy deco sticker I wore this with a simple pair of acid washed denim shorts, and I tied the look together with my comfy pair of leg warmers. I am going for a casual California girl look. Expect more basic pieces in my future outfits. Cannot wait to share new looks with all of you guys :) Don't forget to hype this on LB . ...

Happy Sunday everyone! It has been raining nonstop in the metro this past week, and a bright sunny sky was quite the sight to see. My friend and I decided to go out today to have a little fun with this lovely dress, Linda of Martofchina has sent me. Thank you so much, I love this piece to bits. asymmetric dress // Martofchina biker jacket // Romwe gold studded belt // Forever 21 necklace & earrings // Forever 21  Since chiffon is a soft and lightweight fabric, I decided to wear this biker jacket to toughen up the look. I chose this dress not only for its versatility (which I will show you a little later) but for the great quality and affordable price tag as well. Can you believe this outfit only costs $7.50?  Let me show you the first way to wear this dress: Cinch up the waist with a tiny belt for a more formed and body conscious look. This looks best for when you are going to work or formal occasions where a more structured look i...

Hello my little darlings!  If you are following my Instagram feed, you would know that I have been obsessed with the kpop and kdramas lately. Hence, the very childish casual outfit. This look is inspired by Lee Hi's song Its Over . I wore this very cute peter pan collar top with these bow print shorts, which I both purchased during my recent trip to China town. top and skirt // 168 Mall bear bowler hat //  Romwe eiffel tower necklace // gift Not only are these shorts cute, but they are super comfy as well. I have been seeing this bow print in korean fashion magazines, and when the opportunity presented itself - I grabbed this right off the rack.  (Yay me!) Another little trinket that I wore with this outfit is this mini Eiffel Tower necklace, my good friend got me on my birthday. It adds quite a vintage touch, dont you think? Another element of this look that I love, is this bear bowler hat from Romwe , ...

Hello my little lovelies! They say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So what do you do if you find yourself smack right in the middle of the trendiest street this side of Asia? Do as the Manilenos do, and shop til your hearts (and wads of cash) drops! Distressed cat sweater // Romwe , see similar here There is something about shopping (a.k.a. retail therapy) in Manila that gives you quite a high. Don't know if it's the dirt cheap sale prices, or the amount of eye candy (talking about trendy, hunky shoppers) I get to ogle on that gives me this   I-can-rock-the-world-in-high-heels feeling. Leather back pack // vintage Or maybe it's the fact that I can practically wear anything, or any trend, without getting crossed looks from people now as opposed to how people did four or five years ago. I love how the Philippine fashion industry is moving at top speed, and how we are no longer mere spectators if its glory. We, the deprived gene...

Waiting for G-dragon oppa  ❤ yummy treats we get to eat  ❤ Swamped with the cutest coffee cups  ❤ Excited to see what I wore on this fine day?

Happy Mother ' s Day, Everyone! I spent Mother's Day with mother goose yesterday by seeing Iron Man in 3D. She wasn't really a fan of the franchise, but my temper tantrum made her go anyway. Lols. My sister and I got her this yummy chocolate cake from Tous Les Jours . I love how cute and delicious korean cakes are --they remind me of Japanese strawberry celebration cakes. :) I wore this cute distressed cat sweater I recently got from Romwe . The fabric was light and ventilates well, perfect for the hot x cold weather transitions. I paired this top with my ultra short skater skirt and thin cream belt from Forever 21 . Thin belts help accentuate the waist and adds an extra Oomph to this look.  I am currently loving ankle strap heels and flats, and these pair from The Ramp are just what the doctor ordered! They are sleek, sexy, and comfy to boot. Distressed cat sweater :: Romwe Skater skirt :: old, see similar here...
