Watching 40's to 80's inspired films lately have got me wanting to experience those decades. That nostalgic feeling is making me wish that I was born from those years. Despite the unlikely wars, I am still persistent about the idea of going back in time to have a little taste of the good old's lifestyle. Other than the lifestyle, I am also much in love with their Fashion. It was within those years that I am so inspired of in terms of Fashion. People looked clean and well polished. Everyone looked elegant, either men or women.
These are the types of style I wanted to bring back to the industry of Fashion soon. In the future, when I become a Fashion Designer, as I hope I would be, I'd like to put on that skin of confidence to everyone wearing my pieces. Also, considering our country's current state of climate, I want to be able to bring comfort, quality and practicality back. So many brands offer impractical products not suitable for the Philippine weather. I don't hate them, I'm just sharing my thoughts and opinion.
As far as I would remember, this would be the first time I shared the type of designer I want to be here in my blog. I don't know, it may seem random but I'm feeling inspired lately.
My fourth day in Japan was spent in Gumma. A place where silk is produced. It was an educational filled ride from Tokyo to Gumma. The 2 to 3 hours drive to there was all worth it. Sadly, my camera memory got full and I had to deal with the fact that half of my vlog and blog photos will come from an Ipod. Nonetheless, it was great exploring places out of Tokyo. Still, every place in Japan is picturesque. One thing I love about the country is that you can freely ride your bike to places without it getting taken. Japan is one of the safest places I have been to.
Expect the coming photos and vlog to have incohesive quality and edits.

Here again with another reminiscing post on my Japan trip. Every place we went to was picture perfect that I filled both my camera gizmos with skyscrapers, streets, ramen and yellow turned leaves on the ground. Whenever I see T.V. presentations about Japan, I seem to get excited yet sad. Excited because I promised myself that I'll be back but sad because I wish I never left. Excuse me for the awkward faces, it was drizzling that time and we had to rush because we were only given an hour to explore the place. I'm forever grateful to my friends who patiently took my outfit photos. Thank you Jacquelene Foja and Ayn Gancenia!
Thrifted/Vintage clothes are a must in a girl's wardrobe. Me and my sister loved investing on thrifted/vintage clothes. Based on its quality, its better than those that are being pulled out in the market this days. From the test of time, they're more durable and better. I'd like to have the chance to thrift abroad(mostly in America & London) because it's where there is best finds.
For the past months, I have come to a realization that my style has outgrown my real age. More people see me as a matured lady with a fine job. Though my age is legal enough to do grown up stuff, I still can't see myself as the person they see me. I may look old but without the virtual world knowing, I can be childish. This is just a thought that has been bugging me for a very long time. To be honest, I do look a bit over my age in these shots. I just can't argue with the fact that people see me as old/matured and that I do love my recent way of dressing.
P.S. Thanks again to my forever wonderful friend who took these photos. I love you PATTY! Oh, and these shots were also taken as a part of our Final project in our Photography class same as here.

It is so hard to identify my personal and I admit it. But lately, I have been into classy and feminine style with a dash of minimalism. And, as I look through all my past outfit posts here on the blog, I can say that I have a huge variety of looks. As the years passed by, same as the trends changing, so does my style. I can't believe that as I grow, the age of my style develops as well.
It's finally the end of my 1st semester this year so I'm on a vacation. I'm glad to be back on blogging. There are so many things I have to accomplish this week. This is just my way of saying "I'm Back!".
"De Cru" means vintage in French if ever you're curious and this outfit speaks a lot about it. Mainly, I was inspired by the film "Flipped". I've watched the film for so many times but I never grew tired of it. One factor why I liked it so much is because of the main character's fashion. I just wanted to recreate Julie Baker's style. I know that florals were not a trend back then but in my defense it is the perfect length for a dress and I wore ankle-high socks and sneakers which best exemplifies Julie's style in the film. This is the best alternative I can find in my closet. Well actually, this dress is originally not mine. It was my grandmother's. I saw a lot of great pieces in my grandmother's closet and this is one of them. Another factor is that it's just a really good film.
So now, I'll be leaving you with a song played in the film.

I just finished my week filled with exams. I still have a lot of backlog outfit posts and this is one of them. These were taken long before I even got my hair ombre-d. Obviously, I'm still not over with the DENIM + WHITE combo. I just love how clean and proper it looks like.

Finally! I get to blog this outfit! If you can still remember about my post entitled SOON! this was it! These shots were taken last July with my great friend Shaira Olaya. It was such a delight to work with her again. She really knows how to hold a camera. OH! I have a BIG announcement about a new Fashion website but I'll be blogging that on a different post so watch out for that!

When I was a kid I used to call overalls a jumper. I miss childhood days wherein you don't have to worry about anything. All you do is play play play. But, somehow being mature is very important. My sembreak's over and my classes started yesterday. Terror professors are coming in the way. My class schedules are good though that's why I got the time to blog at this time of the day.
