So like I said before, other people have their white walls and backyards for their go to spot to take their day to day outfit photos. I, on the other hand have our old and rusty rooftop. I find it out of the usual and a little editorial in a way. Love how it usually contrasts with the outfits too, but that’s just me. Taking pictures at some foyer everyday just doesn’t seem to reflect my personality The thought of having Chanel at a random rusty rooftop might be appalling to you. Hahah. But trust me, it’s been done before. Here’s Karlie Kloss rocking a very beautiful Chanel couture dress in a rusty and dirty bath tub for Vogue Korea.

I am IN LOVE with this mullet skirt!!! the mullet hair goes “business in the front, party in the back!” but this skirt is the opposite. Plus don’t you just love my clogs? Only girls and gay guys appreciate clogs.

My mom rarely goes out, and when she does, its either it’s for an adventure out in the woods or just to blog about something. This then leaves me to take advantage of her things. Case in point: her Chanel bag.

So I’ve decided to give the LBxMango contest a try. I don’t know why the widget won’t show but here’s a link to my entry. Im usually always so scared to join contests but here I am pushing my luck. Please HYPE by logging on to your FB account. If you’re not familiar with Lookbook, the HYPE button is on the left side of the picture, it would mean so much to me. Contest will end on Oct 13 so please like, share or hype if you can. Thank you so much! ♥

i try but you see it’s hard to explain

I wanted to wear something light and cool to work because it was extra hot today. I’m really luck I work at a chill place where flats and sandals are accepted!

My outfit is THE picture of “high-end-low-end-mix-and-matching”. I got the top from a thrift store for less than 100 pesos and I think it used to be the half of a Maria Clara. I got my skirt from the Robinson’s department store for around 300 pesos, my belt from Gliteratti and my black ribbon bracelet from Forever 21. The Chanel bag as well as the Hermes bangles I’m wearing are my mom’s. My shoes are only 1000 pesos from SM department store. See, you don’t have to wear designer labels from head to toe to look good =)

Jojami’s baby girl celebrated her 1st birthday at Fort Ilocandia’s ballroom. It’s hard to plan a party for children where adults can have just as much fun, but Jojami always does this with such ease…=)

I’ve always wanted to try the red lips and always pondered if I should buy whenever I’m at MAC, but I’ve always been so scared of it. A few days back I saw one from Revlon and asked my mom to buy me the Ruby shade. I’ve been rocking the puta red lips the whole week, I’m now officially hooked! Hahah
