been waiting for the stars to fall.

hair done by Kristel Tan

So we had a shooting one day, and they had to curl my hair. When I got home, I started playing with it and twirling it while I was working. And it turned out like this. It looked really cute actually. HAHA. Also, I'm planning on buying myself a curling/flat iron soon because I really want to be able to style my hair more often. And you know, not have to use accessories.

I was kind of bored one afternoon and just wanted to do some kind of random outfit thingy. So I took my boots (which I haven't been able to wear out yet because an event hasn't come up--but don't worry, one will come up haha) and got a dress that I haven't been really able to wear out either. The only time I was able to wear it out was with a white crop top over it. But on its own, I haven't been able to wear it yet. It's a really nice dress that can be used casually and formally. The boots gives it a more casual style, though.

I went kind of in a different direction with this one. This dress, I actually wore to my high school night (aka our school's "prom"/fellowship session) in my Junior year. It's a really cool formal dress, and I love the style cause it's the ballerina sort of style with the bubble of the skirt. And of course, you don't normally wear this with boots. You wear a formal dress like this with platform heels. So yeah, just wanted to play around with this outfit. And it doesn't look half bad!

Sorry if this post is a little boring/sabog. HAHA. These past few weeks have been so hectic, no kidding. Graduation is coming up in a few weeks (I CRY) and everyone's catching up with final requirements and exams and grades, so yeah.
Another post real soon, as soon as I get all the dresses I need for the upcoming events (Photoshoot for Grad invites, photoshoot for official Grad portraits, High School Night 2012, and Graduation). Yup, need so many things for the next weeks! I also need a purity ring, which will be given to us by our parents on High School Night. 

Whoo! Let's do this.

who could deny these butterflies?

Yo yo yo!

So guess what. I only have three days of school this week! Yup, Monday is Chinese New Year, and on Friday, we have a parent-teacher conference at school, so HOORAY. Plus the weekends, 6 days of rest baby! Of course, I have been/will be productive. Hihi.

Anyway, after having finished my health presentation, I decided to take a break and do something I've been meaning to do for quite a while already. 

I was making a big deal about how I didn't know what to wear with those black wedges I got (previous post) recently. This afternoon, I got my handy tripod (yes, it is so much easier to take self-portraits and fashion pictures of myself now!!) and had a mini-photoshoot. And it was really fun! (Quite depressing too, at the same time, because I realized just how fat I have gotten these past months daym.)

So anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this photo-spam! Haha. 

Also, just a reminder, all these pictures are outfits featuring the black wedge booties I recently got from Payless.

So this is the first outfit. It's actually one of the very first outfits I thought of to wear with the boots because it's chic, it's simple, and it's comfortable. It has that typical "street-style" sort of look that's quite effortless and edgy at the same time. I love it. The accessories especially, make it much edgier.

I spiced up a simple outfit with a pink blazer. The pink makes it pop, and the boots give the pink an edgier style. This can actually be used for slightly formal/business-like affairs because of the blazer. And wearing black wedge boots will make things, well, cooler.

My good friend Karyn gave me this gold bracelet for Christmas and I love it so much! I still have to fill up that heart-shaped locket with a picture though. Of whom? Hmm. Haha!

This outfit is different basically because of the socks. I don't usually wear socks with shoes, I mean, except for my school shoes and rubber shoes, obviously. But I mean, with heels, never. And this is my first pair of boots, so, hello to experimenting! But I figured that I have a dress of the same color, so the socks fit the outfit perfectly. The socks/bangle were both given by Kath! Thank you, lovely. <3

I should really chop off the threads off that jacket. Haha!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This isn't the actual outfit, so I'm not counting it as one. Haha. But guys omg look at how cute my socks are!! 

These were given by my cousin for my birthday! From what I remember, it came from Forever21.

Denim shorts - Next Jeans

(lol I hope my friends see how grateful and appreciative I am of their gifts--I mean, I use them all the time! Haha)

Just a simple outfit--very casual, very fun, very free. Just a normal loose colored tee, denim shorts, a regular bag, a fun necklace, and boom. The boots. It helps, because it makes you focus on one part of the outfit--the boots. Woot!

This really cool car (yes, it's a Bug!) chain necklace was given by my good friend, Abby (well, her and her family haha). It's really cool. Although I have to get the screw fixed because someone (my little sister) played with it way too much, so.

This is my second favorite outfit out of them all. I simply love the way it looks, I mean. It's nautical with a simple yet edgy twist. I love it so so so so so much! These are actually the kind of outfits I always see models wear in pictures as they're strutting down the streets of New York, or something. And it takes a lot to pull it off. So happy I can pull it off (for once--haha)!

This one, I like to look at as the girly next-door neighbor type. I mean, your average next door neighbor look, with a little floral to make it girlier and boots to give it edge. It's a really good outfit to go shopping in because it's comfortable, and it'll be easy to fit on clothes too. And I am also very much obsessed with the color combo. I love the whole pink and blue and pink and grey and red and blue type of combo. <3

THIS is my all-time favorite outfit in this entire outfit-spam. When I put it on, not only did it look amazayn, but it felt incredibly comfortable. Like, omg. First of all, the tights are probably the comfiest tights I have ever worn. I got them in Forever21 the same day I got the boots at Payless. They were about 360pesos or something like that. Maybe 365. But it's amazayn. Next, the white top I have really is comfy. I mean, I've had it for a while and I wear it a lot, so. But what really *made* the outfit was the floral button-down. I don't usually wear it open just like that, but I experimented, and it looked amazayn opened up! It overs my arms, it has the perfect length, and it adds detail to a plain blouse. It also looks quite effortless because it drapes over me in the same way the white blouse does. I loooooove it <3

I also really like this outfit. Mostly because it isn't all that hot. I mean, it's not too warm, despite the look the tights give off. Because the top is loose and cool, and so is the skirt. Adding the black tights and boots to the floral gives it an entire rocker-chic look.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My vanity session starts here, just to warn you. 

I swear, I loved the outfits so much and wanted to experiment! I'm not all that vain. :( huhuhuh. Also, my hair looked nice (for once) today! :\ hahahahaha. 

So that's the last of it! Bye guys! I hope you enjoyed that. <3 

Talk to ya'll soon. :)

mirror, lie to me.

Hey guys! Long time, no update, yeah?
So I went on yet another shopping trip with Kath! And I think we were quite successful!
<3
First, we went to Payless in Galleria. There was this pair of black wedge ankle booties that we saw the last time we went there. I really wanted to get them but I had no money (and no permission either! haha).
But this time, I got it.

Black wedge ankle booties @ Payless, Galleria ;; P1,650

They're only slightly hard to walk in, because they don't have a front platform, just the three-inch heels (I think?). But I love them to pieces omg. I looooooooooove them. First pair of boots!! 

Purple tank top @ the Platform, Galleria
lol don't mind that white spot on the mirror

This was actually a really good fit, but it had this really awkward flower and chain thing on the side. You can't see it in the picture cause I covered it. :))

Old rose dress @ (Chill) Department Store, SM Megamall

Chill is one of my favorite brands!! And I found this dress with a white top and old rose skirt and it is amazayn. I loved it. Too bad I couldn't get it. I would have, actually.

Black and white graphic tank top with elastic bow waist @ Department Store, SM  Megamall

Kath tried on this skirt along with her white tank and tucked in her black vest. I looked so cool. Almost like a dress!

Loose brown knit top @ Forever21, SM Megamall

So this knit top was on one of the mannequins that were really well-dressed. Except for some reason, the sleeves on this one are much, much looser. Also, the cut isn't so good either. It's a little short, so it is necessary to wear a tank under the thickness of the material.

Dark grey v-neck top @ Forever21, SM Megamall

I love this top so much. It's very cool, and easy to pair things with. You can style a whole lot with it. And I don't have a top like this, so.

Loose long knit top @ Forever21, SM Megamall ;; P1,125

This was the best piece out of all the six items!! I love it so much. The fit is amazayn and so is the cut. You don't exactly need to wear a tank under it because it's long enough, but not long enough to cover my shorts entirely! This one was the one I really considered getting, actually. But it was way to expensive, and I had already spent most of what I had on the boots.

Old rose pleated velour trim dress @ Forever21, SM Megamall

Graphic design body con skirt @ Forever21, SM Megamall

This looked cool on the rack, but the fit was waaaay too tight, and I actually ended up having a butt while wearing it, which I am sooo not comfortable with. The graphic design was nice, though. If it were a mini-type, it would look much more amazayn.

THESE are the boots I want. Like the wedge ones in my previous post. Ohmygoodness, I can't stop looking at them. They're perfect! The dark midnight black color, and the gold holes and laces that grace the shoes. Man. What I'd do to get a pair.

ow And can I just share with you all how much I adore this outfit. It's go so much of everything. Grunge. Rock. Casual. Street. Chic. Formal. Effortless. Loose. Cool. Baggy. Punk. 

Ugh. 

I wish I could dress like that, own clothes like that, and look good like that. skdfjsdkhfodhsgsjkgsdf h8lyf.

Also, I was pondering on how I should seriously own more denim. Like actual good-branded, good quality denim that I can really use all the time. Not just one pair of denim shorts, or one pair of skinnies. It makes it easier to make outfits because there'll be more choices (yeah, it's easier).

Look at this pair of skinnies. I've always wanted to own leather skinnies, or at least black skinnies, or really any pair of skinnies lol that have a lot of zippers. You know, ones for the pockets, ones down near the ankles, it just looks so cool. Adds more detail to a simple pair of skinnies. :)

That's all for now. Another random fashion post. Hihihi

get up and go far.

Omg. 

I seriously want those shoes. I'd die to have those shoes. (lols not really) I've wanted this pair for so long!! Black booties! Honestly, they don't matter to me if the have a stick heel or if they're wedges, as long as they're the black lace-up kinds. So beautiful. 

I saw a pair at Payless when I went with one of my best friends, Kath, (mentioned in the previous post!) to go shopping before Christmas. I tried them on and they were amazayn (and looked amazayn too)! But they looked like the first picture. But again, really, I don't mind if it's the pair above or the one below. I'd really like to get one with my Christmas green though! It would be a big help to my wardrobe because I don't have any booties or any black heels for that matter. (I do have black heels, but they're dancing shoes, so the heel is short.)
