One True Thing

Lace It Up.
(Top: Forever21 | Jeans: Zara | Bag: Braun Buffel | Shoes: Topshop)

An archived post from when my boyfriend was still here in Manila (he left about a month ago for Kuala Lumpur) and we had one of those Friday night dates- I wanted to look classic and conservative so I chose a very muted lace top that spells sweet and paired it with white denim jeans and equally neutral and pale accessories. Also kept my makeup to a minimum to keep up with the look. I started to love dressing up a little bit less edgy and more classic and clean (with a hint of neurosis!)

Even Angels Have Their Wicked Schemes

Under the pink Harlequin sunglasses strawberry dangling charms, and sugar-frosted eyeshadow she was really almost beautiful.

"She stood barefoot on the gravel watching clear droplets fall to the grass, hitting her freckled shoulders, adorning her hair. Drenched from tears and rain, she spun around like a fairy in a sea of poppyfields.

Kiss from a Rose

Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

Kiss from a Rose inspired outfit...(Seal's song decided to be the first to pop up when I put my ipod on shuffle since I couldn't decide what to wear) and so I dressed and took my cue from the soulful song and let it control how my outfit was to turn out that day. Naturally, I went for the obvious, a mesh rosette Zara sweater in pastel pink that I bought from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection but never got a chance to wear as I soon realized it was too itchy since it was made of elaborately stitched up rosette tulle and had no lining. If you knew me as a kid, I cried over tulle netting and tutu petticoats and inspected every gown and dress meticulously for lining as I found it "itchy" and unwearable. However, now, having grown up, while I still prefer lining, I guess I decided to deal with it and sacrifice a bit of comfort for style. However, I shall retire this shirt and donate it to my mom's closet instead (she has no tulle/ fabric itchiness issues) and loves the blouse she practically tore it from my back when I got home. (Haha, love you, mumum!). I went for the dolled out look and wore it with a chiffon ballerina skirt from my brand Glitterati. Also, found the perfect shoes, purse (also rosette) and pearls to accessorize. The outfit is so elaborate and well.. in theme... I was quite proud of myself. Funny how I can rock out and get dolled up faster than you can press shuffle.
