Like a Kid in a Candy store


I'm in DIY heaven!!!

Yesterday, my sister and I were supposed to go to a shoe exhibit but due to the super heavy traffic we didn't make it on time. Boo! So we decided to go to Carolina's instead, a store selling all kinds of fabric, sequins, beads, chains, feathers and basically all your sewing needs! I love this store so much!! I used to go to their other branch on Fridays after school and just spending hours exploring all the eyecandy in the store..=)
($1 thrifted top; SM dept store pants; SM dept store shoes; Get Laud brown tube; Louis Vuitton bag, Junkfood ring)
This is probably my favorite bottom lately. It looks like you dressed up but in reality it's easier to wear than my good old skinny jeans. I feel like I'm wearing a chicer version of my pajamas. So comfy!
The nude top is thrifted and I got it for 50 pesos ($1!!) only. I tucked the front part to show the details of my pants..=) This is the real length of the top.

Will post the loot soon.. Time for a new DIY project!!
I told myself that I can start on my DIY only after I finish reading my Physiology Board Exam reviewer book.
I'm finished with the cell, neuro and heart physiology part.
Ahhhhh Kidney why are you so complicated?? hahaha

Woooooohoooooo!!! Did you guys watch??? I'm super happy that Manny Pacquiao won!! He knocked out Ricky Hatton at Round 2, beat that!! I wore this fun dress because I anticipated that Manny will win and we will be in a cheery mood.. =) And damn right he did!!

I borrowed this blazer from my sister (I will slowly steal this..haha=p).. It is again thrifted and it has a Dior tag with serial numbers but I don't know how to authenticate. But I bet it's real because who makes a fake nowadays and intentionally sell it for 60 pesos (less than $2)? I bet the thrift store did not look inside the blazer and just sold it along with other gaudy clothes..hehe.. Oh, and the dress is a recent purchase from Landmark dept store I bought it because the polka dots remind me of Rei Kawakubo x H&M.. The dress is only 300+ pesos (less than $8..) Cheap thrills = <3
Real Dior or not I still think the design is beautiful.. I love it!

Poor Girl's Balmain


Ooops!! Good thing I knowhow to edit a little.. haha
(Thrifted Blazer;Topshop Tank; Bayo tights; Centropel suede ankle boots; Forever 21 sunglasses)




This blazer is inspired by Balmain (again). I LOOOVVEEE Balmain!! Bought this blazer last year in the Summer Capital/Thrifting capital of the Philippines --Baguio City for 50 pesos ($1). Yes for a dollar!! Initially this was a blouse but I had it reworked into a blazer.

Which look do you like more the one with the tights or bare legs? I personally like the one with tights because my legs look uugggss plus the tights adds drama to the outfit but the bare look is more suitable in Manila's tropical weather.
