Paint mother nature green








I got this hi-waist shorts from a thriftshop a few weeks back. I fell in love with it the moment i laid my eyes on it. Aw, this could get so dramatic. Being a thriftqueen that I am, I really find joy in getting a really good bargain. I got this for 30 pesos. Woot! That's what I call a bargain. 

I got this belt by accident. By accident I mean buying something unplanned. I got this one for only 20 pesos. Ha! I know, I know... it won't last long but I find the color cute and it looks so adorable with these shorts.


The pair of earrings and the silver bangles (above) that I wore are from Gurlfriend. I only have these babies on because I'm not really into over-accessorizing. I just want to keep my every day looks simple. These multi-colored earrings are so adorable and summer-y. The colors aren't really loud but can still add a playful vibe to the look.

Sometimes less is more

If you have been following my previous looks on lookbook, you've probably noticed that this is the first time I wore something that wasn't thrifted. Yiha! Like it matters. lol. I miss thrifting, by the way. I miss my ultimate stress reliever. 






This skirt is from Mystic. I wish you could see the slit in the right. It's just right theeere -- okay, it's not visible. lol. 

This top is from Forever 21. The fabric is so light it's very comfortable to wear. Perfect for the sizzling summer. 

See? There's the slit! Ha! Now, you see it. (Like it's a big deal)

oh,i'm so blue


This was taken around 8 in the morning. The weather was really nice. Being a morning person that I am, I cannot help but fall in love with the serene environment. If you wake up everyday to this, how could you have a bad day? 

Well, the title doesn't really mean me feeling blue but me wearing blue. This is the second time I posted an outfit with two shades of a certain color in one. 


This was taken in our university, by the way. It's a really good venue for a shoot, for lookbook? :))


Above are just test shots which my lovely sister She did. 


On  to the outfit. Did I mention I thrifted these babies? Well, if you've been following my blog you would have expected it by now. Yes, yes, I LOOOVE THRIFTING. Anyone here who does?


You can find this one on Lookbook too:

Hey, it's barney





Here's another oversize shirt that i thrifted. It's really toooo big for me. See how the belt turned an XXL shirt to a dress. I bought this one for only 30 pesos. I fell in love with its color... <3

That oversize shirt


I just love thrifting. :) I've been constantly saying that. The idea of finding cute-but-not-so-typical pieces thrills me. This one is actually  an oversize shirt. It's twice my size and it's kinda stretchy. But i really love its details so i bought it. I was so excited to see what i can do with it. So -- tada -- here it is! By the way, i got a really good bargain with this one. LOVE!

Forgive my hair, dollies. It's always messy. 

I know i look crazy but i think candid shots are pretty cool. :)




You can find this on lookbook. Hype it down below.

Bubblegum lady

I had a really good Sunday. I didn't expect it would turn out this good because 50% of this was unplanned. Who cares if this isn't originally in our itinerary? It was such a blast,anyway. Thanks to a very early wake-up call that i did. It's more like a call of help from people who gave up tinkering the camera. 

Thanks to She and Dan for a wonderful day. i owe it to you.

I love candid shots <3

snap, another candid shot..

The weather is just scorching hot. Really.

the drawstring sack



I got this piece from a thrift shop. I was attracted to it because it looks different... something not a lot of people would normally wear. It was such a bargain but when I came home, dilemma struck --- how to wear?? It has an uneven cut and it's neckline is adjustable... when i say adjustable, i mean ADJUSTAAAABLE! something like this:


you get the picture? that's why my friends fondly call this top a *sniff* sack -- a drawstring sack to be precise. But i like it. :) It's really comfortable. Very ideal for a sizzling summah! 

And the headpiece? nah, I just made it.
