Lazy Dressing 100 It all started yesterday when my sundo was already outside but I still couldn’t figure out what to wear. I guess it’s safe to say that time pressure breeds creativity and resourcefulness – I instantly came up with an outfit! Yuki Tansengco Got a lot of button down shirts laying around your room? Here’s how you can transform your shirt into a skirt! 🙂 Lazy Sunday For the first time, I tried out Kanto and Kool Kids in Kapitolyo to see what the fuss was about. Two thumbs up! I super love the food in Kanto – so yummy and very affordable. As for the Kool Kids ice cream, you should try it when you want to see something new. Haha! Zara grey shirt | Thrifted Holiday-themed buttondown | Birks To get this look, simply button up the shirt until where it meets the waist then knot the sleeves part down the middle. Make sure you tuck the collar part inside and the sleeves under the knot for a neat finish! Try it out and let me know what you think! 🙂 Vans hologram sunnies | Storm brown leather watch You can experiment with different buttondown textiles like…

Go La Salle! For me, style has no boundaries. Fashion has no rules. You can wear pink with red if you want to although I highly don’t suggest that but if you feel like it then go for it! Today, I chose to wear green pants. Whoever said it looked weird on our coaching staff – hasn’t seen the female version of the uniform (this!). Lol – just kidding! But hey it’s not so bad 🙂 #Animootd Whenever I attend UAAP games, I see some people with the cutest white and green combinations. I encourage you guys to tag your UAAP ootd’s with #Animootd to show our support – through our outfits! Haha let’s do this! Just casually walking around in green pants So today, my outfit is inspired from our coaching staff’s uniform. A mix of green and white with a hint of brown/khaki – what do you think? Yuki Tansengco Lately, I’ve been looking for basics. You can never have enough basics in your closet – right? I’m happy I found this easy breezy Gap top from my mom’s pile. It’s a bit loose but that’s the point of feeling al fresco! GAP white sleeveless top | Vintage…

A World Without Strangers I’ve always been fascinated with street style photography – coming up to a total stranger and asking if you can snap their photo. I follow a lot actually, The Sartorialist, Humans of New York, etc. Lately, a came across a very interesting one – a photographer who solely focuses on Asians.  Asian beauty I’d have to say that its our colonial mentality that makes us want to be so western. All the whitening product ads, wanting a sharper nose, lighter hair color, bigger eyes – when in truth, I believe Asians are beautiful as they are.  Shoot with @asian_impressions Today, meeting and shooting with this streetstyle photographer strengthened my theory. Us Asians girls are beautiful! 😉 Proud Race jacket | Zara maxi | Tres Shoes wedges I was thinking, “How does this work?” I mean aside from the obvious fact that these photographers go around and spot stylish people on the street aka “streetstyle”, they probably also plan some shoots, right? Shot by Teban of @asian_impressions It all started when my fellow blogger Dez Lim (@dezadrienne on Instagram) shared her excitement to shoot with the popular streetstyle photographer, Teban. I got excited and asked if I…

Yuki Tansengco For some reason, I have this odd habit of attempting to shop in the kids section. Why? Why NOT!? 😀 A lot of brands now are coming up with stylish lines in kids apparel! It’s really the age of fashown kids. Chill day Nothing feels better than trading in your heels for sneakers, tight jeans for loose shorts and a comfy cotton shirt. I think these will be my staples from now on! A sneakers and shirt thing. If the shorts fit – why not? You’ll never guess where I bought these eyelet shorts. Hihi :> Bensimon Tennis Elly shoes I was never a sneaker-person until I had my first pair of Bennies! (then my 2nd, 3rd, etc.) These shoes literally go with anything! Leggings, a skirt, pair of shorts – you name it. I dont mind getting dirt on them, too! Hair by Blo Blow Dry Bar I came from a photo shoot so I had my hair done at Blo. It’s really one of my favorite pamper places. I used to get my hair done around Php1000-Php1500 per event but with Blo around, I get these VS curls for only Php500! Call 09176BLODRY to book a…

Designs by Abby Jocson | ASTRID Duffel Php2750 I’m honestly never saw myself as the model-y type but I am always game for a fun #OOTD shoot!

Let’s support proudly Pinoy goods, yes? 🙂 Yuki Tansengco I think I’ve masted the kunwari “walking” pose after this shoot :)) DIY singlet I’m very into DIY so instead of purchasing my own “side boob” tank top, I cut up an old shirt and hemmed the sides. This black one’s an old oversized t-shirt. What do you think? Thrifted gold and leather boots  These boots also scored a number of compliments and my friends got surprised when I told them it came from a … thrift store!

Sweater Weather “All I hear is raindrops, running on the rooftop…” – who can guess this 90’s song? Haha!
