Stole 'Em From The Boyfriend

Thursday, July 25, 2013






Jeans & Heels: Zara / Blazer: Thrifted / Bag: Alexander Wang / Bracelet & Ring: Arm Party Manila / Earrings: Accessorize / Watch: Casio

From time to time, I like to dress like a man (but in a womanly way, of course). And to dial up the androgyny in a menswear-inspired look, I refer to oversized pieces of clothing (a.k.a. "boyfriend" anything). I've mentioned in a couple of posts ago that I'm rekindling my love for blazers -- in the large, boyfriend's type versions. And for me, the best place to find this type of garment without blowing up the wallet is the thrift store. I've unearthed a lot of unique diamonds-in-the-rough in my past visits to thrift stores... which reminds me, I haven't been to an ukay-ukay in a long time so I think I need to hit one up soon.

What cherished pieces have you dug up from thrift stores?



The Best of 2012

Monday, December 31, 2012


Before we welcome the new year, I'd like to share with all of you a rundown of my favorite 2012 fashion moments. This year, my style sensibilities have definitely evolved into something more mature. I've learned to embrace things/trends/styles I swore years ago that I would never try (such as wearing stiletto sandals). I've also been more open to injecting a whole lot of prints and colors into my wardrobe (bright yellow, obviously, was a fave). I've also experimented with color on my hair when I sported ombre early this year. Looking back though, I kind of regret messing up with my hair, killing it with bleach and allowing it to look like a broomstick. Haha! Speaking of hair, this year has been privy to a dozen personal haircut changes. I started with long locks, had it cut shoulder-length, sported a boy's barber's cut and ended up with a pixie. While I do miss having a long mane, my favorite would have to be the pixie just because it's so easy to manage. I just had another haircut yesterday (a semi-pixie with semi-shaved sides) and I don't even know what's going to happen next to this fickle-minded hair of mine (Hahaha!). 

Life and career-wise, 2012 had been a really interesting year for me. I made some mistakes here and there, visited new places and experienced new things, went through a quarter life crisis (sort of), received a handful of blessings and forged new friendships in the most unexpected places. I hope that in 2013 and in the years to come, I get to succeed in fulfilling my long-term goals. 

Life, I hope, would be even greater. 

To the brands who've supported and sponsored me this year, a big thank you to all of you! To my dear readers and friends, I wish each and everyone of you a fantastic new year ahead! May all of your wishes, goals and aspirations finally come true! Thank you so much for sticking with me!
