Prints & Sequins

(Top & Shorts: Sheinside// Shoes: Alexander Wang// Bag: F21// Ring: Gold Dot)

I used to shy away from pieces with a chockfull of contrasting prints but the clever and playful mix of prints and colors in this top was hard to resist! And no, I didn't just stop with prints, I also went with a pair of sequined shorts, albeit in a not-so-flashy gold tone. Now, this outfit is something that's definitely hard to miss. I got these two lovely pieces from www.sheinside.com, a Shanghai-based online shop offering the latest streetstyle dresses, tops, shorts and more. If you wish to purchase the same top and shorts as mine, just click HERE and HERE.

Colorful Aztec

(Dress: Topshop// Jacket: bought from Aisa Ipac// Shoes: Alexander Wang 'Constance'// Earrings: Extremefinds// Bag: Emblouissant// Yello Cuff & Bird Bangle: Envy// Knot Bracelet: Binkydoodles)

Playing with a rainbow of colors. I've had this aztec-print dress for 2 years already (view my first post on this dress HERE). While I may have outgrown my 'bodycon dress' phase, I couldn't let go of this particular dress. I guess I'm the type who has a hard time letting go of things, no matter how old they are. It was a good thing I kept this dress though. I'm still drawn to its colorful aztec-print. I think the highlighter yellow earrings go well with the colors of the dress too, wouldn't you agree?

P.S. If you're looking for sleek satchel bags, head on over to Emblouissant HERE and HERE.

NEW IN: Last Haul Before The Shopping Ban

Sharing with you some of my latest acquisitions (I ordered some of these last year and only received them recently):

1. Alexander Wang 'Constance' Booties - This pair is a little tricky to wear because of the steep arch but I still love its shape and its blue-tipped front. 

2. Marni x H&M Trousers - I had a hard time choosing amongst the wonderful pieces in the Marni x H&M collection. My first choice had to be the brown patent leather top with gray sleeves though as the design definitely resonates my style. However, I found it a bit expensive and impractical to wear. I finally settled on the green trousers above (the print is very "Marni"). I know that I could get a lot of wear out of these pants.

3. Karen Walker 'Number One' Sunglasses - I've been lusting over this pair for more than a year and finally, I have them in my hands. 

4. Viva Glam 'Nicki' - The color on this lippie is gorgeous and complements my skin color well. Definitely a good buy.

5. H&M Floral Trousers - Floral trousers....just because.

On a serious note though...

While the sight of these pieces can be quite gratifying, they are just physical items which will not render anyone complete happiness and satisfaction. And this being said, I will be imposing a shopping ban upon myself (and I really do hope I follow-through with this). I need to do some soul-searching. Some things just doesn't feel right at the moment.

P.S. I will be in Davao this Sunday for the Joy Kaon Ta, Davao! food festival to be held in Brgy SIR Covered Court. To my Davao readers, hope you can drop by. :)
