2015 (and 2014)

I have a natural propensity of going MIA. But, it's a new year and I decided to continue on my blog journey!

Click below for my look back on 2014 and more!

Toronto

White out

I got the blues

Summer is officially over, and I got the blues.

Wanderlust

Lately, I've been doing a lot of exploring and imploring out and around Hell's Kitchen. So many good restaurants and just a south shy of Hell's Kitchen is vintage heaven. Here are some picks lately.

New York Fashion Week

Glimmers of Belize

I made it

I made it guys. In one piece, already 5 kilos overweight and in awe at all of Belize.. #alreadyabelizer.

Ps. I brought my DSLR but lost the battery and of course I scoured the airport for one but, better luck next time. ::worshipping iphone into the air::..please iphone 5 don't fail me. The pics don't do it any justice but enjoy!

My travel pants from Southeast Asia.

Ready to go!

Cuban and Dominican treat in Miami.

Seafood chowder. Belikin. White sand. Clear water. Impeccable.

Exploring Belize.

The game of Belizean thrones..the goal is to remain in this seat as long as possible.

Soaking in the sun.

All white everything.

From Chaos to Couture. Punk Fashion at the MET Museum.

Happy Monday!

My guess is everyone is either with family and friends throwing your stock of refrigerated ingredients on the grill, by the pool, out of town, or just chilling in their own varied ways. For me, I'm catching up with my favorite book so far--recommended by my dear friend Amy-- and relaxing by the pool, and out and about in the sun, the first time since I was in the Philippines last summer! It feels great especially when like many if us millennials spend our weeks at 3 jobs and never get a chance to breathe.

A solemn salute to those who have fallen and those men of valor who continue to protect all the freedoms we enjoy today. 

Happy Memorial Day!

Grey and nude lately.

The 20s gal

The 20s gal who collects vintage pieces…..guess which one I made?

What's up punk?

After torrential down pour...

Zara tee//Authentic vintage camo jacket// Mango shorts// Guess by Marciano heels.

I managed to get a few snaps of a casual outfit. Every piece of this outfit is a good find. I wear this t-shirt with just about everything, the shorts have served me well everywhere from the foliages of Bali to elephant trekking in Thailand. This vintage camo jacket matches with almost everything.

Where will I be voyaging this summer and bringing theses pieces along? Belize, please! July couldn't get here sooner.

These 90s denim were made for you and me..

A small dose of denim for big fun to be had...

I got your back

Sweater: vendor boutique, Seoul, SK.

 Sweaters year round are great for unexpected, chilly weather…especially lately with all of the Spring showers. I love this sweater because it's comfortable and practical enough to wear 3/4 of the year..it's always got my back ;). 

Bohéme chic in the garden at night

Buffalo Exchange

3 things….

that I will flock to this summer, every time I can't find anything to wear. I will throw on a tee or tank, shorts and rock these….

This summer…be patriotic

Be on the look out for patriotic stars, stripes, camo, cropped tops and tees, everything jean and in-between.

Summer…it's coming.

1,2,3,4 get yo accessories on the go..

My favorite part of summer is the beach and of course, fun in the sun accessories!

1.  rhinestone headpiece made by: me :) and John Lennon circle sunglasses.. you can find similar ones here

2.white turban from my mom's old beauty shop you can find one for $6 here (fun with bathing suits!!!) and sunglasses via Rene Rene at little five points in Atlanta. They remind me of the vintage 70s Christian Dior jeweled sunnies!

3.vintage Christian Dior cropped top, striped scarf made by: me..(you can take old fabric, a scarf or buy some for $3 a yard at a fabric store and make one). Sunglasses from a vendor in Korea.. you can find some on Asos..oh, and Kung-Fu panda face to fight the sweltering heat!

4. vintage polka dot shirt and white reflective cat eye sunglasses from Forever21.

Also try these bad boy mirrored sunglasses…..

Day #5: Red hot vintage bag and a green way to save

Shirt: Made by me with random materials//white jeggings: Korea// 50s vintage Gucci pumps: Goodwill// 70s vintage Christian Dior sunglasses: passed down by my aunt// vintage quilted bag on sale for $20!

5 days until my birthday! Check out our shop page for Day#5 deal for this vintage quilted purse you can wear year round.. without the Chanel price tag.

And of course, earth day is every day when you buy second hand items! Since I was a young girl, I would go into consignment shops just because I could find unique things (back then, I was embarrassed for wearing second hand clothes). Now, as much as possible, I try to buy vintage clothes or re-design the ones I already have..and styling them with the gently used designer handbags, clothes, and accessories my mom and aunt have so graciously passed down.

Slow fashion and creativity is key, gals! (Try adding pearls and beads onto sweater, studs onto shoes,  un-hemming sleeves off of blouses, wear skirts as dresses, or experiment with your boyfriend's t-shirts----guilty as charged).
