Perks of working for myself? Its being able to plan and make my own schedule. Although there's an obvious downside for that, it delays all my work and i end up cramming my way to finish my deadline... coz im an artist like that. I'm kidding. So this is one of those days wherein i decided to take photos of my outfit (even tho i wasn't really going anywhere) instead of finishing a gown for my fashion show. Dont worry guys, I finished it 8 hours before the show so it's all good.

The last 2 weekends have been so damn hectic. September has been packed with events and its overwhelming sometimes (especially for someone who gets anxious in meeting new people). Thank God I've somehow mastered the art of small talks. From fashion show and exhibit to cooking birthday dinner for bae's friends, Fake Friends anniversary event to Pop District bazaar. I'm very thankful for everything but i also need a long massage and some time to take it all in. Nawmsayin?!

Now that Im done venting out, let's talk about this outfit- because fashion blog duuuuh? You know when i say my city has bipolar weather? Its legit. I had to slip on a thin windbreaker to beat the early-morning drizzle only to find out how hot it was during lunch time. Then it rained again, but its still very humid. I insisted on wearing my windbreaker because it matched my shoes and outfit, obviously. And then of course, the trademark oversized shirt to hide my bloated tummy. 

What i wore: Bape shirt; GAP KIDS camo pants; Airmax 95 sneakers; vintage orange windbreaker

"what is a signature look? Your signature look (or uniform) is the flagship look of your own personal style. It should represent its core elements, the essence of your style, all in one outfit. Your signature look is the outfit people picture you wearing when they think of you, and your one and only look if you were a cartoon/fairytale/pixar character." -anuchakress

That's it! This is it. My signature look. I guess my staple pieces for the past 3 years are trackpants, 'over-sized anything', a hat and a sneaker. Almost all my blog looks are me wearing them - heck, I practically own more than a dozen different pieces by now! This time I wanted something fresh so I tried to style this sporty, one stripe Reebok track pants in a new way. Did I break any rule of not pairing my trackies with sneakers? Guess not. P.S: I made that hat im wearing! Another successful experiment.

What I wore: Fake Friends shirt; Reebok pants; Zara boots; beret made by me

I'm always caught wearing red these days. Red (and black, duh?) is my favorite color since freshmen highschool (I've probably said this a couple of times lol), but there are certain shades of red you'll never catch me wearing. I cant really explain or describe the color but back in the day I have this shade I called 'jejemon red'. Hahaha idekkk. I'll post a swatch if I get a hold of it soon. 

Been on a social media detox for 3 days now. That means I get to write a longer post here! Lol
No Facebook, Instagram and Twitter app on my phone just so I can free my mind for awhile.
How's your week going so far?

 I always had a thing for oversized sweats/pullover, boyfriend jeans and turtlenecks just because they simply allow you to move around all day, whatever you’ve planned. And for a girl who lives in a tropical country, I have an awful lot of jackets and coverup collection. I cant help myself, I love layering so much. Guess I could say I’m more of a winter child in spite of living in a country that only knows 'too sunny for layers' and 'too rainy for shoe game' weather. Well, its getting pretty windy and rainy lately so more reason to showcase my winter collection lol. Casually layered my staple black sweaters with a touch of red and the mere fact that I can simply change my entire look by pulling off a layer or two makes it even more fun to play with.

Wore this super comfy Xlarge crew neck pullover and styled it with a separate red turtle neck because wearing this as it is was boring. Sometimes wearing clothes in the same color over and over again can get boring to some people but not when you got styles and tricks up on your sleeve. To be honest, all those branded pieces that you own is flat out boring when you have no sense of style at all. Its just like wearing the clothes straight out of a store's mannequin. There's nothing wrong with that but finding your own personal style can really take you places.

"X-Large was the first street brand to use a gorilla or monkey as a logo even before 'A Bathing Ape in Lukewarm Water'..." Ever since I laid my eyes on this brand, I knew it was something that fits my taste. Although Xlarge was founded in LA back in 1991, it was more inspired by Japanese culture and we all know Japanese brands have the best quality products. XLarge, Neighborhood, BAPE, Supreme, Yohji Yamamoto just to name a few of my faves that gained popularity in Jpn. On a side note, I believe everyone should know the brands they are wearing. Just because its an 'in' thing or its famous for now doesn't mean you have to hop in the bandwagon. Only very few people from my place actually recognized this brand and I don't mind one bit. As long as it suits my preference and personal branding, I will represent it. ;)

I look a lot like my mom here!

What I wore: XLarge pullover; Forever 21 hat; Tomboy jeans; Adidas Superstar shoes

Of course I paired it with some cozy sneakers from Adidas for a daily look. My all time favorite beaters when it starts raining. I love how all the pieces add up to this subtle, undone look to my outfit. Just the right amount of color added to make your normal pullover/sweater look different. 

All smiles when my friend decided to sell this pullover to me. Addition to my growing Xlarge collection!

Am I the only one who thinks 2016 came by so fast?! We're down to four months til 2017, dangg. Thanks for dropping by guys! Leave comments and let's keep in touch!

*Shout out to Zach for this Xlarge pullover! After convincing him that I adore this brand more than he does, he finally gave in and sold it to me haha.

Yes, half of my wardrobe are in black and white but everybody knows that already lol. Lately I've been adding more colors in earth tones tho. Trying to be more diverse and open minded when it comes to the color of my clothes but my style has always been the same. I may put on basic pieces but the way i wear it will always seem weird and off to some people. Like the way i wore my socks in this ensemble. I just finished watching IP Man and wanted to dress up like a kungfu master. Anyway, I never talk about serious outfit advice so I'll shut up now. Enjoy these photos from 2 months ago haha. I got a lot of back logs in here i swear!
Adidas Gazelle is actually back in the market. It was released last month with a new design but my shoes are the OG ones. 'OG- meaning original- is a reference to the shoe which was first introduced in 1968 and since that day its appearance has barely changed at all. Despite that, it has remained ever popular and is without a shadow of a doubt one of the brand’s all-time best selling designs.'

Shoutout to my friend from the US, Juhnelz for hooking me up with this Stussy bucket hat that I'm obsessed with lol
Feeling like a shaolin master in this high socks and black overalls. I usually find myself making clothes for me because its waaay cheaper and I like knowing that this piece is 1 of 1.



What I wore: Stussy bucket hat; Rompers made by me; Cotton On white button down; Adidas Gazelle; Adidas backpack
