Paradigm Shift

 Vest: Paradigm Shift / Skirt: F21 / Top: Topshop / Bag & Boots: Alexander Wang / Eyewear: from BF Ruins

I love me a good long vest -- it's one of my go-to pieces, second to leather jackets, when I need to beef up an outfit. This vest from Paradigm Shift is one of the few "classics" inside my wardrobe compartment. I've already paired it with floral-print trousers  and Balenciaga-inspired shorts. Too bad it got tarnished (at the back) with undentified stain marks. :S


P.S. Paging, Paradigm Shift! I need a new leather vest stat! Haha!

Juxtapose

Juxtaposing feminine floral trousers with a masculine vest. I've mentioned in some post ago that every woman should have a pair of black pumps in their shoe closet. Pointed, round-toe, peep-toe, velvet, leather...whatever type of black pumps they are, you can never go wrong with them. Pumps work well with dresses, slim trousers, jeans, minis and shorts. My black velvet pumps are a recent find from So! F.A.B. and these are also available in red, in case you want to add a surge of vampy color to your look.

Watch out for exciting updates from me on So! F.A.B.'s blogger collaboration. We're cooking up something amazing for you guys! Meanwhile, check out fashion blogger Cheyser's namesake shoes HERE. For further updates, head on over to:

Goth Nomad Part Two

(Jacket: Zara// Dress: Paradigm Shift// Boots: Topshop// Necklace: OS)

I completely forgot to post this set of photos from my Goth Nomad shoot with Anton 5 months ago (my hair was still long and basting in ombre dye). These are actually my favorites from the bunch. And this is how I would style the Paradigm Shift 'Ornithopter' dress to make it more wearable during the day -- I'll just slap on a mean leather jacket and wear a pair of moto boots. Damn. Looking at these photos makes me miss my all-black-ensemble days circa 2008-2009. I think it's time to bring back the edgy again.

A masculine and feminine look mash up.

I'm swooning over this faux leather vest from Paradigm Shift's latest collection. It seriously fulfills my long vest requirements. I don't mind getting it in navy blue as well. And obviously, the feminine piece here is the pair of floral trousers. Such gorgeous mix of cool color tones, don't you think? This print also exists in the form of a blazer, just in case you want to go project a floral power suit look. 

P.S. To everyone attending (and shopping at) BU3 tomorrow, we would like to request that you bring small change and your own eco bags. To the winners of the free passes, I sent you guys an email. :)

Presenting SHINY, a collection which cleverly meshes drapey garments with bold silver metallics, forming new, wearable silhouettes. See more of the collection HERE.

As promised, here are the photos from the collabo shoot I had with Anton. Anton currently dabbles in street photography, taking photos of friends and of random breathing souls. I'm not sure if this shoot was his first themed one, but I sure did enjoy doing it with him. It's nice to break away from "outfit" posts once in a while. It's also great to be in the company of people who share the same interests and vision as I do, moreso if they all reside in the same area as where I live (cheers to the South, baby!). When Anton and I were discussing the theme for this shoot, I knew in my head that I wanted to wear this Ornithopter dress from Paradigm Shift. It's such a simple piece but has a tough and sultry whimsy to it. It sure hell looks good with the Drei wedges from Gold Dot too. Now, if this look doesn't project a "Don't you dare mess with me!" 'tude, I don't know what else will.

I'll share another set of photos in the next post! Till then, lovelies! :)

P.S. Thank you once again to Camille Regala for doing my hair and makeup for this shoot. You effin' rock, baby girl! Hell yeahz!
