AINT NOTHING WRONG WITH BLACK

Most days I just want to dress like I`m going to sacrifice a virgin soul.

What The Fug Happened?!

HAPPY 100TH POST TO ME!

1. We just celebrated our 15th month anniversary and this is by far my favorite picture of us. Swagtastic. // 2. Guess what the color palette of that day was? I'm also loving my new deck of cards. // 3. Blade and chalice; yin and yang. Life needs balance but love, above all, is everything. // 4. Spent my day frolicking around BF Parañaque with my clique. The photo diary needs to be posted, asap. // 5. Latest sunnies to add to my collection! Thanks Banggood! // 6. Black Friday ootd // 7. My basic outfit for the days I feel lazy to think. // 8. Zark's Burgers at BF Par!! This burger is called the Jawbreaker. 3 patties, spam, cheese, bacon.. DAMN. Told you I need to post the photo diary soon! // 9. My daily makeup hehe so fancyyy

To tell you frankly, I have been feeling uninspired lately. Days and nights of staring at my computer screen having mental blocks are becoming frequent. I know I have copious amounts of backlogs to post and I feel genuinely disappointed that my promise to myself  of posting at least once a week isn`t going as planned. Yup, the so-called "writer`s block" is happening to me. 

On the other hand, I'`ll be at the Blogapalooza 2014 this Saturday, October 11th at SM Aura, BGC! So to my Philippine-based readers and co-bloggers, I hope to see you there! What's happening with your life these days? x

COMME UN GARCON

Dressing up like a g(djent)leman is much more common for me than dressing up like a lady. And those clothes are older than me.

STYLE SHOULDN`T BE A CHORE

Can`t a girl just dress up extra feminine on ordinary days? 

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!

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. 

UPPERCLASS CLOTHING CO.



Chain backprint tee in black

Upperclass is a clothing brand that aims to bring superiority to the street-wear scene with not only creative designs, but also amazing quality. It is a brand that targets the people`s culture rather than mainstream hype.

I was explaining to my boy the other day the difference between casual wear and street wear: casual wear is informal, practical, uninhibited and true to form of the basics while street wear is getting comfort whilst not forgetting the essence of style, statement and fit. (oh, it's my opinion. #DontH8M8)  I`ve done a few street wear looks too (here, here, and here for starters) as I am admittedly a fan of not only the clothes itself, but the culture.

Anyway, Upperclass Clothing Co. uses only 100% Japanese cotton for their button-downs and the most premium of inks on their graphic tees therefore I guarantee you that the quality is immaculate! more under the cut >
