We all love our LBDs (little black dresses) but one thing that is as equally versatile as them is the LWD. Wearing white is always a great way to instantly create a fresh, chic look. And just like their counterpart, a solid white base leaves lots of room to play with. You can contrast it…
Shoot with Photozuela
In one of my social networking accounts, I got an invite from the GM of a photo equipment brand Photozuela to participate in their “Photozuela Crown Project”. The objective is to showcase real-life beauty around the Photozuela brand and the concept of “live your passion well-equipped” and “technology that emerges.” I told Ale, the general manager, about…
C&C: Camel & Cobalt
For someone who like me who lives in a tropical country, it’s a big wonder how I developed this much love for capes! I’ve long noticed this wonderful invention when I blogged about it 2 years ago here in my other lifestyle blog and the pursuit hasn’t stopped since then. I really do think that this…
Japanese School Uniform
Japanese school uniforms are interesting because they are quite different from the standard school uniform of Western schools. It has been an iconic look of students in Japan because of the mangas and has even become uhmmm a fetish item for adult entertainment (what?!?!). I really didn’t get that latter part but one look at…
Midi Madness
If you ask me, I don’t have any problems going back to the time when women wear skirts as full as this – the MIDI. I was checking a brief history of women’s fashion prior to working on this post and I learned that this particular type of clothing was designed after the World War…
Blue & Pink Sneakers!
Dear Isabel Marant, I may never afford this coolest invention of yours when it comes to footwear but thank you for brilliantly coming up with the wedge sneakers. Love, Cakes Lol. Those high-top beauties. I never imagined myself integrating rubbers into my casual looks but if a popular French fashion house introduces it and celebrities…
Queen Bee
I‘m fairly certain that if this were our high school uniform, I wouldn’t look so prim and proper like below. But I love this style so much that I don’t give up on recreating the look even if it means I’d have to wear this to work. Haha! But hey, costume holidays would be a…
Pleated Culottes
A skirt-trouser hybrid – this is what makes this piece tough to pull off. It is also the reason why I’ve had this for a long time but wore it only a couple of times thinking it’s not that bad since like the PVC skirt in my last post, I got it also on sale…
PVC!
When this skirt first caught my eye, it was on sale. The color is neutral and makes for an easy palette. Plus, it has my size. What’s there not to like? My friend Ana reacted in a way that says – “Go! Only you can pull that off.” But seriously, PVC in a pencil cut…
Plumage
I don’t have much to say about this dress except that this is an old one, like more than 6 years ago. I bought it for a cocktail party (a phone launch) when I was still working for Samsung. I was also 10 pounds heavier then perhaps, if I may add. Haha! Back then I…
