86ers

Dress: Topshop / Bag & Shoes: Alexander Wang / Plaid Shirt: Folded & Hung / Eyewear: Karen Walker

In this unbearable heat-laden weather, any form of clothing which can provide maximum aeration is a blessing, such as this oversized T-shirt (it's loose and doesn't desperately cling onto your skin). This shirt would've looked fine on its own but I wanted to toy around with a sporty, neo-grunge look, hence the addition of a plaid shirt as an accent. To all of my readers living near the equator, how are you dealing with the sweltering heat?

Drive

Jacket: H&M / Skort: Zara / Top: Romwe / Bag: Alexander Wang / Shoes: Mango

Have any of you seen the movie, "Drive"? Aside from the luscious eye-candy that is Ryan Gosling, there's another element in that movie which got my eyee glued onto the screen...Ryan's amazing bomber jacket! It looked so damn badass, especially when paired with those gloves and that toothpick! Haha! The H&M jacket I'm wearing here (which I've already blogged about before) reminds me a bit of Ryan's jacket. Wore this with le Zara skort (again???) to the Bershka Manila grand opening party which was graced by DJ Eve (my new girl crush!) and another eye-candy (and blogger), Pelayo. Will post photos of this fun event soon!

90's Baby

 Top: ASOS / Skirt: Topshop / Plaid Shirt: Folded & Hung / Boots: Opening Ceremony x Chloe Sevigny / Bag: Alexander Wang 

Even if I'm already in my 30's, I tend to gravitate towards 90's inspired fashion most of the time. Hey! I'm a 90's baby after all (born in the 80's but spent my seminal years in the 90's). Back in the 90's though, I didn't dress up like this. I was more into baggy shirts and trousers and denim jeans (spell t-o-m-b-o-y). It was only recently that I found myself liking everything about 90's fashion again, specifically grunge looks -- the plaid shirts, chunky boots, cropped tops and bandage skirts and the overall laid back, "i-don't-care-wachuthink" attitude that goes with it. 

Here's to 90's y'all! It definitely ain't dead.

P.S. See more of my grunge-inspired looks HERE, HERE and HERE.

Origami

 Skirt & Boots: Zara / Top: thrifted / Bag: Alexander Wang / Earrings: Love Diva

Was beyond stoked to discover this origami skort in Zara. I've been looking for one since last year! Love, love, love the pockets in this piece! I wanted to pair the skort with a plain white sweater and go the whole nine yards with a white look from head to toe -- but since I had none, alternating blacks and whites would have to do. 

And yeah, I can't get enough of mirrored sunglasses.

Hello, 2013!

Skirt: Romwe / Sweater: BU4 purchase (from Paul Jatayna) / Shoes & Bag: Alexander Wang / Necklaces: F21 / Bracelet: Saint Rebel Street Boutique

My first outfit post for 2013! Something cheery and festive!

Technically though, this was my last look for 2012. I wore this outfit for a simple year-ender/new-year-opener photo shoot with Anton last December 30. I wanted bright and luscious colors for my first outfit post for 2013 and this was what I came up with - a multicolored sequined skirt from Romwe and a punchy green sweater. What better way to welcome the new year than with sparkles, both on my skirt and on my...well...sparkler! Haha!

Again, Happy New Year to everyone! I'm so excited for 2013! Hope all of you are too!

Turtleneck

Top, Trousers & Eyewear: ASOS / Bag: Alexander Wang / Shoes: Mango / Bracelets: Mauve

It feels like the 90's all over again with this cropped turtleneck top. I actually kind of miss wearing turtlenecks (I used to have a lot when I was younger). I think I need a black one as well. I have these new dungarees which I reckon will go well with a cropped turtleneck and a plaid polo wrapped around the waist. Hmmmm...I can smell a 90's grunge look brewing!
