Begin Again, Denim

Let me begin with denim again, sorry for the repetitiveness that I am! Haha. What can I do? I am addicted to denims. My jacket is denim and my bag is too. God, so redundant! But whatever I know what I want.  I scored this denim jacket from a garage sale for $5 which I blogged it here too. 

I just love this ensemble. The basicness(if there is such a word) of this outfit is what it’s all about. This is what I am, a basic bitch. Haha. Black is such on fire in my style inspiration notice board. You can easily go chic with this. But I promise on my next post I will think of something else! Haha.

Downtown Melbourne

 From downtown Melbourne, you can find this alley of graffiti walls in Bourke Street. This is like the Harlem of Melbourne(if I may put it). Most often, you can find others getting their Instagram moments taken here.  It is a perfect spot to take your OOTDs and whatnot. Yeah, got mine done here obviously! Haha.

I just thought I have been wearing a  lot of denims. As denim, don’t get out of style and it’s so easy to wear. Not much fuss about styling. The acid washed top from Cotton On gave all denim ensemble a touch of edge. I got this really good quality Saxony cardigan from Savers for just $10. So stoked when I saw this and a certain must have for fall and winter. I don’t really get tired of this bow down pose! It’s my angle I suppose haha. I don’t have much angles so I go for it each time. I mean what else should I do? Haha.

Moving on, I am on this stage of my life where I am getting tired of doing things that I am not passionate about. It will definitely get to you either way so I am taking it seriously in planning my career move. I want to be in the style world and I don’t want to get stuck on life choices I have made. As they say, if you are really passionate about something go for it and make it happen. But it’s always  easier said. You got to plan everything first before making the big jump. But I won’t wait for eternity that’s for certain.

#OOTD: Plains and Prints

For sometime, I have been trying to put prints and colours into my outfit choices. I bought the swirl and Koi printed top from the thrift and so is my go-to black jacket. I wore a maroon skinny jeans from Cotton On. To bring balance into the outfit, I pulled over this basic black jacket from the thrift.

To seal the look I wore a grey boots from Kmart.

Most of my clothing choices are either too basic and simple so sometimes I have get out of my comforts and do little or two inserts of prints into what I wear. Sometimes, it brings joy if what you wear has happy, vibrant colours or prints. It pays off sometimes when you take risks not only in fashion but in reality per se. If something works because you tried is a well deserved risk and vice versa. We don’t get to have all so sometimes its okay to be adventurous right? 

Cool Hunts 101

This tailored shorts from Straightforward.ph is the perfect mix of casual and formal. I can dress up this wearing a tailored long-sleeved top and a pair of brogues or dress down by just putting on a tank top and a pair of boots. It retails at Php. 519 plus 85 for the delivery fee. Not so bad! 

I guess I’m obsessing with florals now. This extra chic Hina Tropical jacket is a dream that will not come true for me. Haha. Because it is super expensive. It retails at GBP 298.80. But the print is just so chic! #fashiongasm Actually, this is best paired with that Straightforward tailored shorts right?

This elegant and expensive looking camel coat is to die for. I wanna have it in my closet! It’s a must have especially for autumn or winter. This camel color is so delicious and rich I want to eat it. Lol

Speaking of eating.
That’s why I gained so much weight right now is because of my voracious appetite! This is my favorite snack. Can’t get enough of this. I want moooore. :( Too bad I couldn’t find this in Australia. Bad.


This song really captured my tune hungry ears. I love the EDM aspect of the song. It’s something that is fresh and not too mainstream. Sometimes, you also seek for those songs which can replace your daily fix of pop songs or mainstream ones. Kid Ink’s Sunset did that for me. Replay button on repeat. Rape it!

Until my next cool hunting! xo

Bright, Brighter, Brighton

Yeah What up?

Patiently waiting for my destination! At Brighton Beach, Melbourne.

Tourist mode here at the beach. The weather was quite cool so a jacket is a must have! The beach has a very picturesque view. Making some pose here and there. Thank you Tita Liz for the shot. 

I must say I love this shot. 

Wallpaper ready! Love love this view! 

Lot’s of boxes to choose from. Breathtaking view.

#NoselfieNoGlory

The beach was infested with pre-nuptial photo shoots like shark-infested haha #kidding but this beach is not shark-infested of course. I am not so surprised that couples choose to shoot here, the view is just a perfect backdrop for any occasion. There were like 3 wedding photo shoots I saw there that day.

You gotta have a shot at the Stralya Flag Box! 

Tita Liz and Tita Ia <3

With the super adorable Tita Liz!

And Meh!!! Haha.

The Edgy Edge

My style is mostly that of preppy or casual but I am trying to look more edgy or hard as much as I can. It’s good to try different away from your comfort zone once in a while. This time I did a little push by wearing this black tights again which I got beaten up by my mates which they think is too much. Which is why I wore it. Unexpected is what I am going for. Knowing from the past that when you wear a tight fitting trousers you have to wear something loose for your top and opted for this thrifted Topman printed tee and my DIY acid washed denim vest. And since brogues are all the rage right now I wore this thrifted Hush Puppies brogues to seal this look. I am currently obsessed with the Cole Haan’s Lunar Grands but they are too expensive so when I saw this brogues at Vinnies, I instantly grabbed it and walked away. Haha. No of course I paid for it.

Sorry for the late posts! Will be posting more hopefully. Lol

What do you guys think?

Raging Emotions of A Dude (R.E.D.)

Summer is dropping like flies here and the temperature is rising above 40 degrees hotter than the Philippines! 

With this look, I wore this red lightweight cardigan from Cotton On to prevent the heat from directly hitting my skin and paired it with a thrifted printed Topman shirt from Savers. The tailor-made grey shorts and customised brown boots sealed the look. I know that it’s hot and some of you will wonder why I opted for the boots instead of a sloppy tongs or flats. I just thought to give my look a touch of excitement and my style. I hope you like it as much I did. I took the chance to be photographed against these two red hot cars! Lol. I love red.  

What’s on my mind: Red is the colour of fire, power, and war. A colour of little to no silence. That is perfectly inside what’s inside my head right now. Sleep will only be my recourse to escape from it not drugs. I just want to be sanely perfect when I think.

I really wouldn’t mind if this were my car! LOL.

Bumpa to Bumpa!

I just love the effect I made with this photo. 

Photo Credits to my Inay, Clara! Hahaha.

Black Summer

The first blind mice!

Went shopping at Coles! The SM Hypermarket here in Australia. hehehe.

The sun is up here in Australia. But you’ll never know the weather shift in a few hours. I decided to wear this thrifted Mango suit tights from Salvation Army and and a black plain top from Folded and Hung. At first, I was drawn to wear an all black ensemble but it’s just too heavy for summer so I decided to put some extra pop of colour and added up the brown boots from Cotton on and a thrifted Bershka Man cardigan which made the look more casual than too serious for summer. 

Although I am loving this outfit, I was so conscious of the super tight-fitting pants and top that shows off something down there hahaha. I keep on pulling my shirt down or putting my bag in front of me. Haha. I guess I’ll know better next time. A loose top and a tight fitting pants. 

I miss blogging! Sorry for being such a lazy ass. And I just have too many things on my plate too right now.

The Salvation Army Haul

My latest Thrifting Chronicle article!

From my latest thrift haul, I got these awesome goods. Salvos is an opportunity shop that sells all sorts of goods from home furnishings, utensils, and down to my favourite section the clothes! There are amazing things in there you just have to keep your eyes wide open and be open minded. You will surely have a great time shopping.

This first item is a tuxedo-like blazer tailor made from ASOS. At first it didn’t really struck me really but when I tried it on, it sure did fitted me like a glove. Though there was a little fit issue on my arms but it’s Still a Steal! Gladly got a good item that will surely last. That will give me a run for my money.

Sorry I am so fatty now! hahaha.

Meanwhile my second steal was this belt. It really looks cool. It has this old, rugged look which makes me really want it.

Lastly, this geometrically printed shirt is relatively simple and the fit was good on me. Just right for scorching summer heat here down under. I got these for half the price so yes! Such a steal!!

I didn’t include the prices because I might get smacked down by my Mom. Hahaha. Love you Mama!

It Pays to have Good Bottoms

After an enormous time off the blogosphere, my hauls got stacked up in the closet. And now is their time to scream and shout and let it all out. Haha. No, their time to shine!

My first item is this maroonish red boat shoes that I got from a thrift store near the hospital which I had my placement. Thank God there’s something good went with that placement Haha. #kidding I got these for just $5. A total best buy!

Style tip: Best paired with shorts for the summer and spring but could also be paired with a rolled up pants with or without socks. You could actually style this with printed socks that would complement your outfit which could give your ensemble a kick.

Or go sockless. Get ready for major smelly foot. Haha. I recommend wearing foot socks.

Being the house for the retail brand Cotton On, Australia got heaps of factory outlets. And luckily I laid my eyes on these pair of Chukka/dessert boots initially worth $10 and when I got to the counter I was even more surprised that it was just for 5 bucks! How lucky can you get? Well…

Style tip: With boots you can go anything with it. Wear it with tight fitting jeans or shorts. You can’t go wrong. Or be adventurous by putting on a printed socks.

Woot woot! My not insured legs Haha.

Love this shot from the beach! 

#OMG, shopping, shopping and shopping. And shopping again. Jeez, shopping. Thank you for shopping! Hahaha! More to come.
