Ola, Boheme!

2011-07-23T21:01:00.000-07:00

Pearls and feathers. Why not?

The dress and overall look makes me think about bohemian.

Bohemian is usually not my style but I kind of felt a bohemian vibe that day. Hence the flowy printed dress and layered cardigan.

Trivia: The dress is initially a long skirt. (And yes, it is from my grandmother's closet again)

When I first saw the dress/skirt, I can really think about numerous ways of styling it that's why I did not have any doubts of borrowing it :)

Can't wait to wear this as a skirt naman!

What do you usually get from your grandmothers? Come on, share it!

Stripes Alert

2011-07-22T19:50:00.000-07:00

Sheer Top + Striped Top worn as Skirt + Animal Printed Pumps

I just love how my animal print shoes matches my striped skirt.

Also, as you might notice, I keep on posting photos of me wearing a skirt as a top. I really can't get over because I love the results.

Shoe Lust, Shoe In Love.

And.... I think I need a haircut.

Come on, try reusing your clothes in a different way! Share it to me! <3

Those Feathers

2011-07-20T06:28:00.000-07:00

Yehey, I am back!

I've been extremely busy nowadays, to the point that when I go home, I go straight to my bed.

I love this feather necklace. Just wear it then Boom!

My forever favorites in the world of fashion:

Statement Necklaces

Wide Belts

Highwaist Skirts

But they say, style evolves and fashion innovates. Let's see if my favorites will change!

How about you, what's your most favorite clothing piece and accessory?

Woven and Loose

2011-07-08T08:51:00.000-07:00

Grandmother's woven cardigan + my loose top worn as a skirt

The crochet/woven top is actually my grandmother's which is really perfect for today's weather. I wanted to feel the warmth since it was raining all day but I also wanted to keep it safe just in case the sun rises in the middle of the day. Crochet tops are a perfect way of layering for whatever weather.

As for the skirt (oops, scratch that, I mean top-worn-as-skirt haha!), I'm in the mood for a browny and beigy color palette. I keep on searching for the perfect skirt to wear but I can't find any. Good thing I stumbled upon this loose top of mine and I thought of wearing it as a skirt for a change! Tadah! (You can see me wearing this as a top here)

I love how the sleeves of this top added drapes to the "skirt".

New necklace I am inlove with!!

Basics and Popping Red

2011-07-02T20:11:00.000-07:00

Well, the title gave it all.

I'm back to basics plus an eye popping red belt to break the solemnity of the outfit.

F21 loose top.

Vintage pants.

People R People platforms.

Genevieve Gozum belt.

Loose on Semi Loose.

Who said it must only be Loose on Fit?

I'm on pants again and I'm loving it :)

BTW, I have a new photographer: our House Helper! teehee! :)

I can now take outfit photos every now and then even if my siblings were not at home.

Just a quick advice for successful shots, give them the camera with proper settings already and tell them to go a bit lower when taking photos so your legs won't look shorter. ;)

Wow in Pants

2011-07-01T17:59:00.000-07:00

Wow, I am in pants!

I am not a jeans person. But I'm loving to wear pants and trousers. The flowy and comfy feeling not minding what seat and position you must control yourself in. As they, one day you hate this. Tomorrow, you'll gonna love it! Fashion and style transforms and evolves, agree?

Vintage vest and glittery pants.

F21 basic top.

SoFab heels.

Swatch x Jeremy Scott watch.

Before, I am always afraid to try new things when it comes to dressing up. But I learned that I have to dress for myself not for others. And I am happy with it. Forget about the huge stares.

Hearts,

Jill

I Love You, Pink!

2011-06-30T08:22:00.000-07:00

I'm currently obsessing on different shades of pink - nude, fuchsia, baby pink, blush pink and whatever shaded existing. If you'll notice, if I'm not posting a monochrome outfit, its with a shade of pink.

How about you, do you love PINK?

A Pint of Print on Print

2011-06-29T07:17:00.000-07:00

I don't know if this can be considered as a Print on Print that's why I added "A Pint".

Take two of my Hey Zebra shoes!

Reasons why i love this pair:

* makes my legs thinner

* makes my legs longer

* uplifts a simple outfit

* comfortable

*affordable

* and the list goes on and on!

The weather went back to normal Manila weather - hot. With this kind of weather, I tend to wear the most comfortable outfit in my closet which is cotton dresses. I love how you can just slip it on - easy breezy.

Shoe in Love Bazaar will be moved to July 9!

We can all be Cinderella, hope we can find our perfect pair!

Hearts,

Jill

Hey Zebra!

2011-06-24T07:31:00.000-07:00

I am still not over with animal prints. Hence the printed shoes!

Though it's not noticeable in my photos, I am wearing three layers of clothing pieces! hahaha! For normal season, you can't wear that here in PH. You'll die because of heatstroke if you do that. Kidding aside, it was so cold today that's why I decided to layer all the way! That's the only good thing about this weather. Agree, Pinoys and Pinays? :)

I got the pumps from SOFAB for only 1500 php! It was love at first sight, we all know that feeling. :)

Btw, maisingit ko lang. I already have lots of ideas on how to wear this uneven gray top. I want to wear it as a skirt! Can't wait! I told you, i love reusing my clothes like what I did here haha!

Be inspired and spread the fashion word!

Jill

Reuse, Recycle, Reinvent!

2011-06-22T18:29:00.000-07:00

So if you've been reading my blog last week, you've already seen the outfit post I wore for DLSU Centennial Celebration. I mentioned there that I wore my brother's shirt.

Well, today's peg is actually a bit the same - Reinventing!

I initially picked my favorite pleated skirt that I almost overused already. I'm really having a hard time dressing up for work because: firstly, I am not a jeans person and I think I already mentioned here a couple of times that you can usually see me wearing dresses or skirts or leggings as for my bottom; second, I am running out of dresses; third, all my skirts are like more than 3 inches above the knee. And also, I am taking public transportations going to work so I see to it that I look presentable yet a little bit conservative. Hence the Reinventing!

What I wore today was a dress that I wore as a skirt! (You can also see jme wearing this piece as a top here)

Too bad I don't have a photo of this outfit with more drapes. When I arrived at the office this morning, I fixed and styled it a little bit more, creating more drapes which I totally loved by the way! The drapes and glitters added so much attitude and drama to my outfit!

Lastly, I want to introduce to you guys the savior of my life!

Yes, mababaw! haha! But I really love this Nivea Fruity Shine Lip Balm (which I tried because of Alyssa. Hey Alyssa! Big shout out to you if you're reading this! haha!) because this made my dry lips much better. I stopped using petroleum jelly already because I find this effective. Just apply, always! Kidding! haha!

Walking with Wings

2011-06-20T18:25:00.000-07:00

They say I can fly with this top. I also hope I could!

But all I can do is flaunt it while walking :)

2011-06-20T03:24:00.000-07:00

I love Jeremy Scott. Who doesn't?

I just love his designs and collaborations with other brands which by the way turns out to be the bomb! He's such a cool guy with unique designs and artistic mind!

Jeremy Scott for Longchamp

Jeremy Scott for Adidas

photo from break my style

Jeremy Scott for Swatch

Remember me lusting over Jeremy Scott swatches here?

I really really wanted to have one. Bet ko ang gold embellished and winged swatch! I was very lucky enough, the beau gave me the winged one.

The wings are detachable, so if you want to wear it as a simple swatch, you may. Swatch watches are always waterproof and I love that the Jeremy Scott watches are rubber/silicon in texture.

SOFABulous!

2011-06-19T04:17:00.000-07:00

I went to GH some time last week trying to find a shoe that will make my heart beat non-stop.

I first saw a mary jane suede wedges at Summersault, which I really really love but they don't have a size 9. :( Yes, my feet is size 9. Haha!

When I stopped by Sofab, I remembered that some of the famous bloggers - Kryz Uy and Rosanna Aranaz designed shoes for them. So I was a bit excited wishing to score one of their designs. Unfortunately, GH branch does not offer the shoes. Boohoo! :(

But anyway, I got a surprise for you guys. Who loves animal prints, raise your hand! hahaha! Tadah!

The heels and arch is love, I tell you!

I am still not over with animal print trend and I am still buying pieces that fall under the trend. I just can't resist. I am excited to wear these pumps!

i-Dress for DLSU 100

2011-06-17T08:39:00.000-07:00

100 years of excellence. 100 years of service.

I wore this to the centennial celebration of my Alma Mater. This is actually my brother's shirt. I am not into the mood to wear the green shirts inside my closet so when I saw this into his, I knew I wanted to wear it into a more "me" version. I added a belt, which is obviously my favorite accessory plus a fringe necklace to add spice to the plain tee.

I never regret that I graduated from DLSU. I'd rather be green than any other colors out there. This school not only equipped me educationally but also honed me socially and most importantly, spiritually.

The feeling of singing the Alma Mater Song again is extraordinary and heartwarming. I just miss my school and the feeling of walking into the campus praying that the prof would declare free cut; the feeling hearing that end-of-class-alarm; the feeling of rushing from one building to another; the feeling of being problematic on what to wear and what to eat; the feeling of being a Lasallian student.

Proud to be one!

Live Jesus in our Hearts, Forever,

For all the Shoeaholics

2011-06-15T18:29:00.000-07:00

Hoping to find good deals, please! Okay, I just bought two new shoes last weekend but I can't seem to resist!

Going Monochrome

2011-06-13T06:18:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am back to blogging! :) I missed this, seriously! Anyhoo, I noticed that I am wearing mute colors - black and white for the past few days. Maybe its because the gloomy weather. Or maybe some psychological factors thinking that PH will hit the rainy and cold season.

Bought two new babies from SoFab! last weekend and I am soo egggzited to show it to you guys! You must check out their shops, I'm sure you'll find one perfect for you. A big shout out to Sofab guys at the Greenhills branch, thank you for accommodating me, you guys are soooo nice! I caused so much hassle because I kept on requesting sizes of different shoesies. haha! Thanks again!

One last thing, remember me talking about the Jeremy Scott x Swatch Collab (Read about it here)? The beau finally got one for me!! Wohoooo!

Be inspired and spread the fashion word!
