Current Style Obsession

     Many of you nowadays most probably own a single (if not many) piece of clothing or accessories which were inspired by and has Tribal or Aztec prints. I, for one, own pretty much a handful of these...and is still planning on getting some more. ♥

     I know it's too common and it's available in almost ALL the fashion boutiques around the world this season, but I don't really care. I strictly believe that even if one is too stubborn (like myself) to follow the trend, there is always a few exceptions and this is one of mine.

     Since it's summer here in my country, I have no allowance. Sadly. So just when all great clothes become available on stores, all I can pretty much do is ogle at them or try them on and take a picture. Pathetic.

     So, without any further ado... Here are about 3 of my favorite tribal/aztec stuff...

High-Low Dress: Landmark 

Sheer button-down blouse: Greenhills
Aztec tote bag: SM Department Store

   

Dressing Room Ninja!

How I wish I can BUY ALL the things I try on in a fashion botiques's dressing room. But since money doesn't grow on trees and my wallet seems to be puking out what scanty money I put in it, I, unfortunately CAN'T purchase all the clothes I try on no matter how much I like them or how good they look on me.

With that, I have decided to create a section for my blog wherein I become my alter ego as the Dressing Room Ninja and show you guys what clothes I like and how to mix and match them.

Thanks to technology, this task is easier to be done. ;)

Oh and P.S.: I do buy some of the things I try on. I'm not THAT poor, you know. (laughs)

Manila Clock Tower

     You think it's just London who has a ferris wheel called 'Eye' or a clock tower called Big Ben? Think again. Manila has one of each of those too!!! hahahaha. I don't see originality here. But then again, that word is seldom acknowledged in this country.

     We have the "Eye of MoA" and here, we have a clock tower! Not exactly Big Ben but all the same, it looks pretty and ancient. Which it is, I'm sure.

     One of my favorite things to do when I'm with Pachig: educational trip/touring! ♥

     What do you think of Manila?

     A.

Hello there! 

Nostalgic

     As some of you may already know, I was once taking up AB Fashion Design and Marketing at the School of Fahion and the Arts (SoFA) Manila back in 2008-2009. Although it was a 4-year Bachelor's Degree and it has been my ultimate dream to design clothes ever since I can remember, I wasn't able to finish it and I transferred to another College and took up a different course (which is also different from the present -- I have a knack for 'School Hopping').
   
     It wasn't because I don't want it anymore that I decided to quit and choose a different path for myself. It was just I didn't think I'd make it THAT far in the fashion industry... Too much competition. Anyway, I remember having class activities such as creating scarves out of scrap fabrics, researching in the Design Center of the Philippines and finding inspiration for accessories design from the said research, studying and understanding the history of style and clothes, creating mood boards and patterns and of course, shopping for fabric.

     Where else can one get cheaper fabric and heck of a lot of choices than in Divisoria? Some time around the end of last month, Pachig and I went to Divi (as more commonly called) to buy fruits (cheap ones. EVERYTHING in Divi is cheaper compared to other places) and some fabric and appliques. And wouldn't you know it: Summer Color Blocking is apparently trending in the fabric labyrinth!

     On our way home, we came across this street in Manila... I call it MY street. Hahahaha!  ;)

It's Been A While

     Hello!!!!
     I have been absent from blogging for like... an entire month, i think. My apologies to those who actually read my blog. It's not because I lack stories or photos to share (boy, I wish that were the case). It's just that I haven't been using the laptop since summer vacation started. I'm usually just online on Twitter and Facebook via mobile.
     I personally think that iPhone is made for lazy people like me. I can do all things imaginable with it without having to leave my bed. Hahaha. Lazy.
     Anyway, I've got sooooo much to share here. A little fashion posts, food posts, and of course, my random personal posts. Like this one.
     So, without any further ado, I shall start posting my long delayed blog posts.
