LEATHER OVER WEATHER

It has been more than a year since I last wore this dress as this fun number was buried deep in my closet. Welcome back into the light!

Dr. Martens Diaries PT. 3: MAXIMUM PLAY

 Finally, the third leg out of four of our Dr. Martens Diaries! Let`s keep it to the maximum, shall we?

EXPEDITION by Upperclass Clothing Co.

You all probably know Upperclass Clothing Co. from the post I did about a month back and boy, did I receive a lot of great feed back. They sent me this shirt from their latest collection a few days ago and I might as well take this quality Expedition tee out for a test drive.

The Dr. Martens Diaries PT. 2: ILLUSIONS

"Limits, like fear, is often an illusion." — Michael Jordan

Now, let me ask you a question: what limits you to dress up the way you really want to?

[new music] BARRIERS - "Cancer"

With a lot of bands emerging in this day and age, Barriers, a straight-up, in-your-face metal band hailing from Metro Manila, Philippines is one you shouldn`t dare to neglect.


For several months in the past, the lads have had some rough patches with members having difficulties of keeping up with local gigs and personal issues, yet early 2014 came and Barriers is finally back in the scene — renewed, restored, and revitalized.

Their influences include bands such as The Devil Wears Prada, Parkway Drive, August Burns Red, and Miss May I among many others. They also play alongside melodic hardcore band Saving The Dying Hope, False Contender: a pop punk band from Quezon City, and SIMILAR//INTENTS, a progressive/melodic hardcore band.

Enticed already? You should be. With their first single Cancer [free download here!] from their upcoming EP entitled, CONTAGION out now, these boys would be hard to miss.

"I am torn between someone I should let go and someone I should hold on to.
Torn in two, forgotten the truth.
I seem to subject that the answers aren't bestowed upon me.
Yet they are right in front of my face.
So many months on end. So many days passed by.
Am I bound to live alone or am I bound to live with someone?
Is this the only way to make my life relevant
or are there any means for me yet to learn in this forsaken world.
Torn in two, forgotten the truth.
Fate is a cancer, it spreads on and on without end.
I am a slave to fate and nothing can set me free.
We are all slaves to fate and we aren't meant to be free.
Every remaining piece of my soul shatters at your first sight.
I am devastated in a blink of an eye.
Maybe I'm meant to be wretched and alone at the same time."   Like what you`re hearing? Then go follow them on Facebook and Twitter!

The Dr. Martens Diaries: FLORA AND FAUNA

These boots are made for walkin` ..and styling.

I present the first part out of four of our "how to style your Dr. Martens" look book, a collaboration between me and my blogger bff, Althea. Our love for the classic utilitarian footwear had us gallivanting through the city donning clothes that define why Dr. Martens shoes are a must-have. 

Did Anybody Say "Discount"?!

Bonjour! Comment allez vous? I've recently collaborated with a fellow blogger for a look book on how to style your Dr. Martens and I can`t wait to show the photos to all of you!

Amazing, isn`t it? Then I introduce to you http://www.victoriasdress.co.uk/ where prom dresses, wedding dresses, cocktail dresses, formal — or just any dress really! — are all just a click away.
