The Illest Of The Illest

 Sweater: 5Preview (via Shop YAWYW) / Skirt: Sabrina / Boots: Gold Dot / Bag: Alexander Wang / Cap: Illest (via Trilogy) / Eyewear: Karen Walker

This is my modified version of an urban streetwear ensemble, complemented by a swag snapback from Illest (love this brand!) and a 5Preview sweater (soon to be released on Shop YAWYW!). I've been drawn to this kind of look as of late (skirt + sweater + boots) since the start of the rainy season. Unlike others who envelop themselves with too much fabric to ward off the cold and the rain, I prefer donning short bottoms and rain-ready boots (such as this patent leather Lexi boots) since I despise the feeling of walking in funky-smelling rain-drenched pants or leggings.

Do you share the same mindset when it comes to dressing up for the rainy season?

CeLine Up The B*tches

Jacket: Yves Camingue / Shirt: Designerati / Skirt: Sabrina / Shoes: Alexander Wang / Bag: Celine / Eyewear: Karen Walker / Necklace: Accessorize

I posted a photo of this cheeky designer slogan tee on my Instagram a few months ago and suffice to say, I was hell bent on finding the same shirt to wear on a sartorial occasion (which is technically everyday -- "because everyday is an opportunity to dress up" -- HAHA). Out of sheer luck, I saw Designerati's IG post on their new drops of quirky tees and saw this Celine shirt in the set. Bingo! I quickly messaged the shop owner and placed an order for the shirt and a few weeks after, I was already wrapping my arms on dear Celine. To celebrate this fortunate purchase, I decided to brandish it on the streets, paired with a minimalist asymmetric hem skirt from Sabrina and a mod-style jacket from young, up and coming local designer, Yves Camingue (who was also part of Project Runway Philippines Season 3). The result? A pretty fresh and simple ensemble, perfect for the indecisive weather we are currently experiencing here in the Philippines.

So, how's your week going so far?
