Open Wide

Top, Pants, Heels: Zara / Eyewear: Karen Walker / I.D. Necklace: PlusMinusTimesDivide / Clutch: Neon Island

Sharks are one of the fiercest creatures that I fear the most. Blame it on "Jaws" and all of the other films featuring sharks as nasty flesh-tearing beasts. But I have to hand it to Givenchy for opening my eyes to a whole new world of shark-appreciation. While I still won't dare thread on shark-infested water, at least I get to marvel at the sight of a shark's jaws on print...and on clothes. This is not the time first I'm wearing a shark-printed piece though. Already wore a long sleeved one HERE. Again, muscle tees are a personal must-have this summer so spotting this Givenchy-inspired top in Zara and purchasing it in a heartbeat became almost instinctual. For this summer look, I opted for camo pants, added another animal in the mix with my leopard-print lace up sandals (current fave heels) and threw in a sunset print clutch (side note: I've been searching all over for a clutch like this and I'm so stoked that I stumbled upon one from Neon Island. There are other summer-perfect pieces such as tank tops and shirts from this brand so you better check them out!).

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Surf's Up!

Dress: Subcult / Shoes: Alexander Wang / I.D. Necklace: PlusMinusTimesDivide

This dress was part of the loot bag that I got from Subcult last week. I actually let out a loud shriek when I spotted the surfboard print on it. Not only does this dress carry one of my favorite graphic prints, it also had a Balenciaga & Christopher Kane touch to it which I adore. Allow me to impart a styling trick that I always apply to dresses when I want a more casual look: I tie a long belt around the waist and gather the top part of the dress to create a billowy, dropwaist silhoutte. I've done this trick a number of times already, as evidenced HERE and HERE. For this somber summer look, I went with minimal accessories and just wore a couple of bracelets and a statement I.D. necklace from PlusMinusTimesDivide.

Who says you can't go dark for summer?

Sharing with you some of the photos snapped by Singapore-based street style photographer, Onin Lorente of Style Anywhere. Everytime Onin goes back to the Philippines for a short visit, I make sure to meet up with him to catch up on each other's lives. It's great to know that he's doing well in Singapore as a full-time blogger. 

Cheers to you, Onin!

Meet my "happy" dress. Its gorgeous saffron color just makes me smile. Paired with my Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony inspired platforms, I'm ready to go retro dancing and time travel to the 70's. 

P.S. Thank you so much for leavin' some love on my shoe post HERE. I'm glad you appreciate the make-shift "shoe closet". :)

Introducing my first pair of bright blue shorts! I got them during the latest Topshop sale. I love how soft the material is but I hate that it easily gets wrinkled. Oh well.

Hope you guys had an amazing weekend!

P.S. Thanks to Sha of PlusMinusTimesDivide for my silver spikethrough ring! Love it!
