Fact and Fave: Number 2

So this is my second random fact and favorite blogger that I said I was going to do,  from the Stylish Blog Award tag I got.

 Fact #1: I can live without music.

Ok, I know that sounds extreme. Maybe a little. What I meant is I don't love it as much as other people do. I don't know the newest hits nor the classics. I'm ignorant with singers, bands or even rockstars. No song influences my style or my art nor my life. I prefer my computer on mute unless I'm watching a video. You can ransack my hard drive and not find one downloaded song. 

With that said, I do know how persuasive music can be. How it can influence a person's mood or how it can be attached to a memory. It's just not a necessity in my life.

 

It drives the people around me insane. They find me weird that way. I guess, I sort of am.

Favorite Fashion Blogger: Kookie of Death by Platforms

 Edgy Chic would be how I describe her outfits. 

I remember her blog as the first fashion blog I ever stalked. I mean how can I not...she's ooozing with style. and what I love most about Kookie is her innate ability to take trends and totally make it her own. Her outfits always scream her name...it's loud and proud.

Although she's more known for her gorgeous sky-high platforms, I won't mind raiding her accessories drawer. Just look at those....

 

She's risque without ever being tacky.

Edgy but not trying hard. 

and she sure make those printed pants look HOT!

it was hard choosing just a handful of photos, but I had to restrain myself. if you want to see more, just head on over to her blog. I assure you it's style heaven.

Salmon Loving

(blazer: Mash Up, top and necklace: bought in HK, wedges: Soule Phenomenon)

I know, I know I said no outfit posts for a while. I couldn't help it. Amidst swollen red eyes I took photos of Sunday's outfit. now that's dedication, right?

I'm so over these sore eyes...does anyone have any quick remedy? I'm just about willing to try anything. I have a trip coming up so it's vital, yes vital, to get better soon!

Anyhows, I am in love with this blazer. it's the perfect shade of salmon pink. I actually didn't realized it's this shade when I bought it so I am pleasantly surprised. also I'm wearing a grey dotted stockings which isn't noticeable but I needed for added warmth. and the specs and bangs were used to cover up the eyes, I didn't want to scare the public with them. haha..

I'm really enjoying Manila's weather these past couple of days..i'm hoping it will last a while.

The Best of 2010

I'll start off with the make-up.

1. Urban Decay Naked palette: best neutral palette out there.

2. Urban Decay Primer Potion: no need further introduction.

3. Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Zero: best for the waterline!

4. Maybeline Magnum mascara.

5. OCC Lip Tar in NSFW: the red lips I've been supporting these past few posts.

6. Benefit Hoola: used for contouring.

7. Milani Infinite Liquid eyeliner: if only it's available locally?!

8. Benefit Highbeam

9. Sigma travel brush set

10. Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette: because who could resist the packaging!

Fashion Loves!

 

Bowler hat: SM Department Store and Soule Phenomonen wedges.

 

Animal Print!!! need I say more?

Some of my most worn accessories.

My apologies because I won't be having any proper outfit posts for a while. My left eye is swollen almost beyond existence and I want to spare you lovely people the gory photos. Hopefully the irritation clears up soon.

Cheers!!! 

Let's go to Africa!!!!

(dress: Archive Clothing)

Wore this Sunday to go out and buy some more presents..i know Christmas has pass but we have out family reunion on New Year’s Eve, so it’s the time of our gift-giving. the boy and I had to hop from the Fort to Shangrila just to complete my list. 

I may have went a little crazy with the animal print…zebra and leopard all in one outfit!!! and I guess some people thought so too because they kept staring at the socks and dress. I think as far as the Philippine Fashion have evolved, some things will always be considered taboo. In my defense, I didn’t actually think the print on the socks will be that prominent until I saw these photos…hahaha..

and this jacket is becoming such a good buy in terms of wear per cost ratio…I’ve worn it twice in a week’s time. talk about obsessed.

Fact and Fave: Number 1

So this is my first random fact and favorite blogger that I said I was going to do,  from the Stylish Blog Award tag I got. 

Be warned, it's a little photo heavy.

 Fact #1: I'm an illustrator.

or could have been. I'm not really working as one at the moment but it's something I really love to do. and the funny thing about it is, as monochromatic and neutral my outfits are, it's proportionally opposite to how colorful induced my artworks can be.

Case in point:

Favorite Fashion Blogger: Bestie of Capricious Club

Whimsical! that's how I describe her style. It's not that she dresses up like a Disney Princess but there's just something about her outfits that seem almost surreal and heartwarming. I know those are not usual words to describe someone's fashion but it's how I see hers.

 

She has this knack for wearing vintage inspired outfits without being costumey or dated.

Her outfits are always perfectly accessorized.

And boy can she wear them pants. Be it boyfriend jeans, or wide legged ones and even high-waisted skinnies.

it's just a joy to watch her indulge herself in different genres of fashion.

A true style chameleon indeed.
