My Lips Ain't Sealed

Dress: Randolf / Button Down Shirt: H&M / Shoes: Celine / Bag: Phillip Lim / Necklace: Mauve

While most of the clothes I wear on a regular basis are bought off-the-rack from fast fashion brands, I do enjoy curating unique, locally designed-and-made pieces once in a while. This graphic shirt-turned-dress from up and coming local fashion designer, RJ Santos, is one of those few special pieces. I first saw this shirt on a good friend of mine, Thysz, and was instantly enamored by the quirky bold lips print -- I knew I had to get my hands on one at once!

Hit up RJ on Facebook or Instagram if you want to order the same shirt. Or check out his clothing line, Randolf,  for similar quirky pieces.

This Is Our City

Shirt: Team Manila / Cap: Daily Grind Clothing (via Team Manila) / Shoes: Alexander Wang (on sale HERE!) / Bag: Phillip Lim

My apologies. My brain is currently out of order so I'm leaving you with a visual outfit post instead. And yep, I'm on a streetwear roll.
 
 P.S. In case you're wondering, I did wear shorts underneath that shirt.



 

The Unholy

Top: Romwe / Skirt: The Ramp / Boots: Zara / Bag: Phillip Lim / Eyewear: Karen Walker

These past few days, waking up to a slight drizzle, wet pavement and a rumbling sky in the middle of an evil summer season is an unexpected and rare occurrence I'm more than willing to embrace and celebrate...with my pullovers and boots on. This angels-and-saints print sweater is just one of the cool merchandise I was able to source out from Romwe. It feels warm and fuzzy against my skin and even le boy can't stop petting it. Haha.

I wish the rainy season would come sooner. I can't wait to envelope myself with thicker garments and go on cuddle-weather mode.

Kapow!

Jumper: Romwe / Skirt & Boots: Zara / Bag: Phillip Lim / Eyewear: Karen Walker / Necklaces: F21

You can say that I was going for a collegiate cheerleader look with this ensemble. Can someone hand me my pompoms? Haha! Okay, enough of twaddle talk. There's actually a back story to this outfit -- I wore it on the day of a photo shoot for a very special magazine feature (this fashion magazine is a favorite of mine!). I can't disclose any details yet but I'm so so so excited for this opportunity and I can't wait for the feature to come out!

P.S. Spot the side-shaved head. Kapow!

Drop It Low

Pants: Pixiemarket / Top: ASOS / Bag: Phillip Lim / Pumps: Aldo / Eyewear: Karen Walker

Drop crotch pants in leather? Hell yeah! Whoever came up with the idea of mixing these two elements together is pure genius! I remember seeing Christina Centenera (one of the many well-dressed females I adore) rocking a beautiful pair of slouchy leather trousers last year and I knew I had to follow suit since (a) I am a sucker for low waist pants and (b) almost any piece of clothing looks badass if it's made of leather. Needless to say, I've begun using and abusing my leather pants ever since I got them and I won't be surprised if they just give up on me one of these days from too much wear. Haha.
