a pop of color

there are days when i love to layer colors and prints. there are days when an all-black ensemble is the best way to go for me. i love adding surprises to my outfits like a hint of something unexpected. something that says, "it's not supposed to be there but it works..." that dash of turquoise from the belt did that for this outfit. i love pairing a bit of edge to feminine pieces like this flirty black and white floral skirt being paired with the studded top.

we will be returning to Cebu by today and hopefully, we've found heaps of amazing loot to sell. i can't wait to show the buys to you guys...soon! ♥

boho femme

trend or not, in season or not at all, i always love the feminine boho chic style. i am enchanted by the prints, enthralled by the flow and layer of fabrics and charmed by the piles of accessories. other than my necklaces, rings and bangles, i have quite a collection of scarves even when i didn't have much use for them back when i was in school. people would stare if i wear them on my head. i once wrapped my entire head with a scarf while i was being admitted to the hospital when i had really high fever and i found myself rumored to have cancer and under chemotherapy. sad but true -- most people here cannot understand some of my fashion sensibilities. i continue to defy them though and wear my scarves out despite people's stares. i guess that is what fashion is sometimes about, a risk of being stared at. the only consolation is the attention -- positive or not.

speaking of bohemian fashion, here's a great online shop you can visit --- the House of Isla. the designer is based in Baguio and she has the most amazing pieces --- true to the heart of a bohemian.

anyway, it would be our third day here in Bangkok and i would expect to have shopped my feet to death. it's a Sunday and i am hoping to meet Sweet of Pens and Lens. will do a post about more of my BKK adventures when i get back. ♥
