25 December 2011: Christmas Day
When else can I get away with a redish-greenish match and shoulder blades that scream out indulgence?
Merry Christmas, everyone!

22 December 2011: Mod-ish
Accidentally went for something quite mod with this block striped skirt & chunky white wedges, updating the trend with fringes and a bright red satchel. Fine, maybe I was a bit overdressed for a house gathering with close college friends, but I`d like to think this would have been a rather laid back outfit, save for the heels. And that`s precisely what I love about heels—you can pair...
20 December 2011: White Christmas
This was what I wore to one of the annual events I`ve grown to look forward to. The PCB White Christmas party is an intimate gathering hosted by some of my fondest friends from La Salle Green Hills. The occasion couldn`t have been more timely for this fur sweater that`s been hanging inside my closet, patiently waiting for me to heed its call to be worn.

19 December 2011: No Compromise
It was cold enough to wear jeans yesterday so I took the opportunity to finally use these light brown pants from Topshop. I swear by Topshop when I need want jeans with a flawless fit. Which is why when my mom scolded me for charging a rather sizable amount on my credit card, I had absolutely no regrets. Sometimes, you just can`t scrimp on the perfect fit.

10 December 2011: In Between
Since Manila weather is perpetually indecisive, I thought it would be wise to dress for in between seasons. As in, clothes that are both suited for hot and rainy weather. I`m especially adoring Muji for its cape-like knit with a detachable hoodie as an example. Muji is steadily becoming one of my favorite brands—nothing too fancy, but extremely functional and still very appealing.

9 December 2011: Tights
Probably the only upside to rainy weather in the Philippines is getting to dress up in autumn-inspired ensembles without looking insane. I couldn`t help myself from bringing out my tights for a good stretch. I also thought they were an excellent companion to my deep emerald button down. Somber, yet lustrous.

3 December 2011: Exotica
I went crazy over this necklace when I saw Cole wearing it in Zoology class last sem that I immediately had to inquire who he ordered it from. Unfortunately, stocks already ran out, so to compromise, I asked Cole if I could borrow it one day.
Yesterday, that day came when I found the perfect snake print pants to pair with it.

2 December 2011: Utility
I love that this leather jumper reminds me of when I was little, but brings its own edge by replacing good ol` denim with spunky leather. It`s one of those things that signal you`re quite grown at the same time as it allows you to stay grounded on your childhood.
Plus, it`s another piece of clothing that`s incredibly easy to style even on days when I have to be dragged out of bed.

29 November 2011: The Minimalist
Just took a quick outfit shot before leaving to watch a play my friend was starring in. It was staged in school, so I opted for a casual-but-not-too-plain ensemble. Lately, I`ve also been more inspired with minimalist looks. Rumi Neely of Fashiontoast and Sandra Hagelstam of 5 Inch and Up do it best—the way they exude chic rather than scream it.

My heels from F-Stop finally arrived two weeks ago and I couldn`t be happier! They`re perfect for days when you don`t want to look too casual but don`t want to be overdressed either, and like all my requirements for heels, they`re extremely comfortable. The icing on top of the cake? They`re only a bit over Php 1,000 each!
Thank you to Melanie Entuna of F-Stop for bringing these babies into my...
