Bianco E Nero

Top, Jeans, Heels: Zara / Bag: Alexander Wang

I'll keep this post short and sweet. These photos were taken at Shutter Space studio. Loved the minimalist interior design and the quirky vintage pieces (i.e. old analog cameras, Atari console, rotary dial telephone, etc.) spread out across the receiving area. The lighting in the room where these photos were shot was dramatic and inviting and perfect for a black and white photo rendition. I would like to think that the overall composition of the photos went well with my minimalist outfit, composed of basic boyfriend jeans, my favorite (faux) leather & mesh top, and beige heels.

That's it. Happy Monday, everyone!

Recently, I've been drawn to minimalist pieces in color tones of white and black. Not foregoing my love for bohemian and grunge-infused ensembles, I'm suddenly finding clean and streamlined articles of clothing more and more appealing. This stark white leather shirt, with a subtle punch of texture (in the form of mesh), is a current favorite and is a versatile piece that can go well with anything. I can already foresee wearing this with my white origami skort, my leather dropcrotch trousers or even with my printed tailored pants. I might just do a major closet re-edit though -- get rid of the trendy printed pieces and leave the simple neutral ones behind. We'll see how that goes...

...And I'm sure some of you can adopt those pieces during the Bloggers United Bazaar 5 on June 1 (cheesy segue, isn't it? haha!).

I'm Just Meshin' With You

Jacket: Folded & Hung / Mesh Top: ASOS / Skirt & Bra: Forever 21 / Boots: Topshop / Bag: Alexander Wang

This mesh top, along with its white counterpart, has been sitting idly in my closet for months now. Haven't really figured out when and how to wear it until an opportunity cropped up at the last minute. Wore it to a local music festival of sorts where I unfortunately "lost" my iPhone5 in a sea of young adults running on dopamines. Needless to say, instead of enjoying the night whilst I throw fist pumps in the air and wiggle my jelly, I ended up leaving the event way too early, sulking and panicking on the way home (I had to change my app passwords and have my line deactivated, of course!). But good things swing by you when you least expect them to and the most amazing of amazing news popped up last Monday morning when a Good Samaritan reported that she has found my phone. Unbelievable. Luck was definitely on my side. So after one day of suffering from separation anxiety, I'm now reunited with my iPhone...and it feels so darn good!
