Flask Me Like You Do

A party or a gathering will not be complete without a sparkling glass of wine. Even in formal social gatherings like weddings, it can't get overlooked. It is a must. To be honest, I haven't thought of bringing a jug of booze with me, only a bottle of water that's all. But, this brand of flask for gentlemen drew my attention, Swig Flasks. They are ultra refined catered for any gentleman or woman who wants to have a good time with their friends without showing off what they are drinking.  Anyways, #TGIF so what else to do than to chill out.

Personally, I love the Executive Moulded Orange and the Heritage Dark Havana Flask which is obviously their best sellers. They have sold out of these when I ordered. Such a bummer but I went for the Executive Moulded Blue flask which also looks chic and definitely exudes my style. They look like accessories so they shy away from the attention which I definitely love. It is very handy and you can just chuck it in your purse or in the pockets of your jacket or suit. And have I told you that the pouches are made of tan leather? Super sleek, right? It will also make it for easier grip. It's on sale for 69 pounds! Still a steal.

You can visit their website at SWIGFLASKS. They have a huge array of flasks/sleeves. It is a perfect present for almost any occasion. I am pretty sure any wine connoisseur will be head over heels with this hip flask.

Hassle Free US Shopping

I live in Melbourne, Australia and sometimes when I can’t find what I want instore I turn to online stores. And usually when I stumble upon a very good deal or a pair of shoes I’ve been dying to have and suddenly I check out and ready to pay you see that they don’t ship internationally. Such a bummer! I hate that feeling. Then I discovered this mail forwarding service called US GO BUY. You have to register and make an account. Then, they will give you your US address which you can use to mail your parcels and then US GO BUY will forward it to you at a minimal cost. And did I say that getting registered and having your US address is for free!

I am so relieved that I knew about this! I am really glad this service is here to stay! Made my purchase already. I’m definitely recommending this!

No Wonder

For the first time since I bought it last year, I was able to wear this comfy and edgy tanned leather jacket. I was so excited to wear this out! Paired it with a thrifted jumper for added insulation since it’s getting cold in here. I was out to visit a friend and decided to take shots at this lovely Victorian houses. My man bag is from the thrift as well. Guess how much I got it for? A dollar! Such a crazy steal for a leather bag. Score!

I kept the whole outfit simpler to let the jacket shine on it’s own. It’s the star of this look. 

I haven’t gotten tired of looking down for my outfit shots yet. I’ll get over it when I discover a new way to showcase my facets. Lol. 

I really don’t have anything to blabber about aside from the fact that I am bored as hell. Haha. I just love dressing up for nothing. Have you been in that mood where you just wanna be and feel like you’re a rockstar? This is it. Haha. 

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.

Layer, Layer on the Wall

It is starting to get chilly down under (Australia, not what you think it is ). Layering up to trap some body heat, I have used my not widely used vest from Oxygen and my ever dependable grey sweater. 

I managed to write something up today. Thank God! There is just this laziness and stress overload that I have been stricken by. Not good but I am trying.

What I am trying to achieve in this ensemble is the minimalism. Greys and black. Neutral colours are so basic that you can wear them everyday. As they say, you can never go wrong with black. What I love about this outfit is the addition of the layer piece which without it the whole look will look like a drab. It gives a little edge or fashion forwardness if I can say that.

And here is to hope to get these creative juices going! God save me from this quicksand of laziness that I am in! 

Initially

Unconsciously, I guess I am mostly drawn towards denim. Just last week I stopped by a garage sale near our unit and managed to score a vintage denim jacket for 5 bucks!
(which I have been looking for, for such a long time now). I used to see a lot of these in the thrift when I was in the Philippines but knowing that it is pretty humid to wear those in the streets I just pass them up.

This time it is beginning to warm up already for summer. But it still gets a little chilly sometimes. Melbourne weather is pretty moody like an old lady. I just went with this all denim ensemble. The top is a thrifted Izzue brand which was one of my favorites. Then I just wore a navy blue Tee from Levis and my dependable ASOS extreme super skinny jeans. My shoes are from Zara which I didn’t think I will wear again as it was really tight and kills my toes badly but after I breaking them in, they are okay now.

I thought that my style is becoming more subtle and less flashy like before. Well, I can say my style matures too. I opt for more basics now and staple pieces which can translate to a lot of occasions. I have stocked up mostly on basic T shirts( I think I’m overdoing it now). I’m trying some minimalism now.

Oh my, I have been so lazy to be honest with you but also really busy with work now. This is my first post of the year! I am active on Instagram if you can follow me @knyfortaleza. Will keep trying my hardest to post more!
