modern boho

This is the only good outfit photo that came out of the series of shots. Anyway, this is my take on a modern bohemian look - floral dress with electric pleats paired with utilitarian uniforms of cargo vest and boots.

I was wearing: floral dress (Ma's own), Liz Claiborne utility vest, Bershka boots, belt from Landmark (Manila).

seeing red

My own take of the ~sexy librarian. Ha!

I find it a bit of a challenge to pair red with other colors - pair with white and hey, it's National Day!, pair with green and it's Christmas. 

 

So to be less festive, I paired with this floral blue button-down. It's a little bit sexy nerd, isn't it?

I was wearing: tailor-made pencil skirt, Stradivarius button-down, studded sandals from H&M.

 

hairband

On my birthday, Ma gave me this awesome polka-dot hairband from Zara. (Would have been extra nice it I had actually worn it while cruising the Islands for summer as I had originally planned, but, would have to make-do with this.)
 

hang loose

H&M really knows how to make loose boyfriend t-shirts. This is exactly the kind of loose-fitting top I love! It goes pretty much with anything - printed pants,like what I did here - untucked paired with pencil skirts and boots or partially tucked in with denim. At S$14.90, it's so worth it!

These printed pants, btw are just love!

 

...And, a little awkward pose in an attempt to show how lose this shirt is.

I was wearing: H&M boyfriend tee, printed pants from Blanco, court shoes from Charles & Keith.
 

the midi

Really starting to love Fall's new midi skirt length. As you know, I'm all about the pencil skirt, but I find myself gravitating towards the full midi skirt lately. Here are some of my favorites.

 
New Look Midi Skater Skirt from Asos. Find it here. Looks so good with my footwear of choice, the ankle boots. 

This gives me a Japanese style vibe. Full midi skirt in tartan check also from Asos. Get it here.
 Would also work with flat or low-heeled ankle boots. 

 

patchwork part 2

Last week, I showed you how I styled my new favorite denim patchwork jeans. For today's look, I'm still going for the casual easy look paired with a loose white button-down.

I was wearing: Zara jeans, H&M button-down top, Charles & Keith court shoes.

just in: September

As you know, I'm a sucker for boots - flat, laceup's, ankle - I love them all. So when I recently checked out the Zara store, I was drooling over all the beautiful boots this season. And so even when I was curbing my spending to prepare for the holidays, I couldn't help but pick this babies up.

I love everything about it - the dark burgundy shade and the shape is so beautiful. (It reminds me a bit of the covetous boots from YSL.)

 

That heel is perfect.

Acid wash skinny jeans from Blanco.

patchwork part 1

I bought these Celine-ish patchwork jeans at the last minute while I was in Hong Kong and I'm glad I picked it up because it's become one of my favorite, most comfy pairs I own.

For first look, I went casual and easy.

Paired with lightweight jumper and to add some spunk - leopard print pumps.

Next time, I'll be brave enough to do a denim on denim look with this. :P
 

 I was wearing: Zara jeans, jumper from Forever 21, Charles & Keith leopard print pumps.
