On Print: Mega Stylephile

Get to know more about me -- what I do for a living, the story behind the name, "Death By Platforms, things I collect, people I look up to, and more -- in the January 2014 issue of Mega Magazine (with Megan Young on the cover). Thank you so much to the Mega Team, especially to Jef Fronda and Angelo de Cartagena, for this Stylephile feature! I'll be posting hi-res photos of the individual outfit shots soon!

Hope you guys can grab a copy of the magazine!

All black or black & white are my go-to "color" combinations when I'm too stressed to come up with a cheery colorful outfit. This look took me less than 5 minutes to complete. I was such in a hurry to leave the house for work that I just literally grabbed the first few pieces I saw once I opened my closet. Thank goodness everything matched...well, at least that's what I think.

It's Thursday already and we all know what comes after today! Friday, Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday...okay, I'll stop now. Whew, this week went by pretty quickly. I can't wait to have some R&R this weekend! Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend too!

Cable Knit

(Knit Dress: F21 // Wedges: Soule Phenomenon // Cuff: ASOS)

What I wore to Day 6 of Philippine Fashion Week. This is also the same look that was published in Hanger, a Malaysian-based fashion magazine (will share a photo of the feature once I get a scanned copy). I got this knit dress from F21 for almost 70% off (such a great buy, I must say). I haven't seen any knit dress like it locally so I'm pretty stoked about this purchase. Even though the knit material is quite chunky and heavy, it's still comfortable to wear under Philippine weather...thanks to its sleeveless design! I channeled a bit of an Alexander Wang SS '09 look with this knit dress. Paired it with my favorite stinky beanie and my beloved Soule Phenomenon wedges for a look that's simple but a bit rugged.
