Agent Orange

Here's a random post before I lull myself to sleep. Conditioned myself to sleep before 5am. Trying to beat the tricycle rush here in Cubao, the main cause of my many sleepless nights! Arrgh. My bedroom's window is positioned infront of one of Cubao's main road kaya ayun, nganga! Pfft. Anyway, I am also arming myself with meditation sounds I downloaded last night. Super helpful you guys should try it also! Just search for Kelly Howell on google. Super relaxing and it has this calming effect that could last til the next day. Anyway, here's an outfit post taken yesterday at The Fort during an errand day.  

Okay, so I fell asleep first before publishing this post haha! Good afternoon world! I beat you tricycles! Wahaha. Photos!

Model off duty look daw sabi nila. Ang kumontra The Grinch. Wahaha. But for serious, sweaters are becoming my go to piece when going out. They're so comfy and easy to dress up. The Clingies / Clingys would agree! We've all started hoarding sweaters, as if we are all based in the North Pole. Haha. I'm wearing all my favorite basics in one outfit. 

The black sweater is a new one from SHANA. It's P600+ lang! Surprisingly cheap! More on Shana soon. The jeans, you all know it's my favorite from Wrangler. Perfect color, perfect style, perfect fit. Actually, to be honest, not anymore... I gained weight! I think. Heehee. The strappy wedge I got from Chocolate Schu Bar from the SM Makati Shoe Crazy shopping party! More on that soon too. The watch, necklace and bracelet I use everyday. I also found my new favorite shades, this blue/green polarized lens from FLY!!! Super fly noh? And then there's my new basic IPAD Wren shoulder bag from Crumpler (love the color) and my new earphones (which you could use for hands free calls) from Urbanears. That's all thank you!:P

It's All in Black and White

I finally got my blogging mojo back! Inspiration came one day in the form of my newly acquired Olympus PL-1 camera. Haha. I convinced my blog bff Ana to buy one too! But more on that later...

With new inspiration came old ones too. As my favorite band Coldplay sang, "I'm going back to the start...". I will post random stuff as much as possible, just like 4 years ago when this blog came to light. If you read my 2008 posts you'd meet the slightly emo me! Haha, don't judge. I even wrote 2 songs (which my friends transformed into a song-- a good one actually!) and a few poems. Sometimes when I feel like deleting this blog or ultimately burnt-out, I just read back and it gives me perspective. I wanna say a humble thank you to everyone who took this crazy/beautiful journey with me. Hope you've all found your dreams, as I've found mine. Rooting for all of you. <3

Anyway, finally, here are new outfit shots taken using my Olympus PL-1 cam! I still edited the photos using Picmonkey.com coz I wanted a vintage effect. But as it is, photos doesn't need editing na.:)

Depaige Manila dress/top, Wade belt, Trunkshow satchel bag, Chickflick oxford heels

I'm obsessed with anything MOD or 60s inspired. So I squealed with delight when Depaige Manila gave me this dress:) So Twiggy. You can also wear it as a top!

 Soul Lifestyle satin mullet skirt, Schu booties

Accessorize polka sunnies, Kandi Treats snakeskin cuff

I love transitional pieces such as this dress which you could wear as a top! I could think of other ways to wear this dress, will share soon! Do you love this monochromatic look?:)

 So here are a few photos from last weekend...

 Yabu date with Mich

Blue nails from Beauty & Butter!

test drive. Heh.

If you're thinking of buying a nice non-SLR compact cam, THIS IS IT.  Wish I bought mine from Kimstore, it's cheaper by P7k! Well, mine came with add-ons like memory card, case, tripod, so keri na din. Lakas ko lang mag sales talk noh. Haha. 

must.have.this.luggage.bag!!!

Mich thinks I shop a lot. For the record, I don't (okay in denial lang haha). So when I saw this luggage at SM Depstore, I knew it was made for me. Naman. But Mich asked me, "luggage or camera"? Shempre camera na! So to appease her I told her I'd sell some of my things to offset the gastos. Thus the rebirth of my BLOG SHOP!!! I uploaded a number of clothes and shoes, so pls adopt them! Heh. A few people already sent their orders, so wag papahuli! Thanks beautiful people.:)

That's all for now. Have to sleep stat! Meeting later with the ETC peeps. Sarap lang ng tulog ni Ana (she's here hehe). Babooosh!:)

P.S. Shop my closet! http://shopdrowning.blogspot.com
