19SEP2014 // PARADIGM SHIFT

Sunnies Studios / Vest: Paradigm Shift / Pants: UNIQLO / Kasumi Envelope: Wabi Sabi

I've been using this vest over everything lately. It's a nice finishing touch to any lazy outfit. I found Karl's (inkarlcerating) online shop, Paradigm Shift, one day, and was really excited to find that there were still a few stocks available for purchase!

Dear Karl, please make more clothes! <3 p="">

Showed a bunch of my random stuff on this month's Status Invades page of Status Magazine. Sharing a couple of other photos by Kenji O. Thanks for bringing out the Blue Steel in me!

My apologies for the lag in outfit posts, been super busy lately with work and little projects. Will definitely be sharing more looks soon!

29AUG2014 // TWISTED CLASSIC

Sunnies Studios / Asymmetric Shirtdress: c/o AstoGroup / Lace Cycle Shorts: American Apparel / Sneakers: EYTYS / Bag: Vintage Il Bisonte

Shirt dresses were never really my style. This one, however, caught my attention due to the pleasantly strange hem. Loving it being literally edgy.

In other news, I thought I'd do some photos before the purple washes out to pinkish red again.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! X

White T-Shirt: Bench Basics / Banded Sport Skirt: Y-3 / Heeled Mules: Zara

Sharing some photos from my last feature with Bench B/Blog Celebrating 27 Years with YoungSTAR shot by the ever cool Joseph Pascual. Really awesome to be a part of this white t-shirt styling challenge of sorts! Happy birthday, Bench! 

15AUG2014 // SQUARISH

Sunnies by Charlie / PVC Knit Top: Zara / Drawstring Shorts: Uniqlo / Ayahko Bag: Wabi Sabi / Crepe Sole Brogues: Kurt Geiger

Keeping things super simple in this week's post. I love the boxy form that the top and shorts separately take- the top because of the bonded knit + PVC; the bottoms because of the pleats despite the soft viscose feel. In a recent exchange, a friend asked me what my priorities in dressing were. My top priorities, I realized, were comfort and silhouette. Comfort because I really am too lazy to power through the day in anything painful or too constricting, and silhouette because I get bored easily and love to try different things. Hey, so, I'm (slightly) consistent after all!

08AUG2014 // NEW CROPS

 Drape Top: Giordano Ladies / High Waist Zipper Pants: American Apparel / Ayahko Bag: Wabi Sabi / Mules: Zara

I've been playing around with crop tops more lately and keeping an eye out for different shapes and sizes. Here is one super versatile knitted gem. I think it was originally supposed to be worn different ways using the drapes with a pin, but I love how it looks just like this. A big thank you to high waisted pants and skirts to hide any evidence of laziness/lack of exercise!

01AUG2014 // I SWEAR I'M A GIRL

Look 1-  Zip Bomber: The Artisan / Mens Shirt: CDG Shirt / Shorts: H&M / Crepe Sole Brogues: Kurt Geiger

Look 2-  Mens Shirt: ACNE / Drop Crotch Shorts: CDG BLACK / Sneakers: Andre

Here are the other two looks from the Preview shoot that weren't published. Yes, they are extremely boyish and mostly comprised of menswear or menswear inspired pieces (as my feet are too small for mens shoes). I often enjoy dressing like this, I can tell you that these bottoms are on heavy rotation among similar others. I'm well aware that going full boy-attire does a fine job at repelling men (does that make me a Man Repeller??) but whatever, who needs men when you've got drop crotch pants?? (I'm kidding)
