SOMEONE TOLD ME



carla bruni - Quelqu'un m'a dit

i don't understand a thing. liar. i've looked up the lyrics and it goes something like "someone told me that our lives are not worth a lot... someone told me you still love me." probably along these lines. i've been dying to listen to it again after watching 500 days of summer. these french songs are swirling in my head all day long.

WISH LIST:FRANCES MAY







I discovered this online boutique while looking for online shop pegs for a future project. Frances May caught my attention because the website looks clean and polished while maintaining a personal approach. I won't say much about this future project. hahaha. I just wish it would materialize next year. That navajo print skirt is to die for. How I wish I'd find something like that soon. I've been in search for character prints for sooo long now, that's why that short, print dress is also on my wish list. The white dress? Well, I just like that it's frilly, short, and a bit slouchy (bust wise) !

CHARLOTTE



joy oh joy!

ONE POST A DAY

i told myself to post one post a day. just one post a day. it's so frustrating when the only reason I open my blog is to check my blog links. i might as well name it my favorites. so much has happened and yet i've got so little urgency to write and update this thing. i had my birthday, watched the september issue, bought coffee table books, watched julia & julie, thought deep about being soooo damn competitive in everything i do, bought the sartorialist book, slacked off at work, drank three days straight and right now, enjoying regular employee life. boring. my friends and i had a drink a few weeks ago and we realized we had nothing exciting to share or to talk about. it's just amazing how boring we have become. i couldn't possibly be "all said and done mode" at age 23. but then i guess we were just really a bunch of people who always (always) wanted something more. who doesn't right?

b: raspberry swirl

w: hala nostalgic!

me: ui bench? very high school.

b: naman. gusto ko yung amuy nito parang mapapangiti ka lang.

me: meron din akong kalevel nyan na gusto nung high school, yung parang amuy baby ka. sa penshoppe yun e.

w: smells like baby. amuy baby ka jan.

me: hahaha

w: uu gusto ko rin yun. pati yung kiwi something ba yun ng bench. or penshoppe?

b: may gusto din ako sa penshoppe dati. (may dinescribe na parang sa bench na cologne)

w/me: baka sa bench yan? anu ba yan.

me: or baka sa benchshoppe?

(not verbatim but something to that effect. we were trying our best to say something.)

INSPIRED BY JUDY ALDRIDGE

All I want to wear nowadays are cuffed jeans and skyrocket heels (okay interesting heels would do) but as ive said im all about heels. I also dream of all the basic white, black, and gray tees paired with scarves or jackets with interesting details. In short very much like Judy Aldridge. She is really sophisticated with a style that doesn't seem to try too hard. The key pieces of her wardrobe are high quality, one-of-a-kind jackets and shoes that when mixed altogether with simple or avant-garde accessories make a strong, masculine, and feminine statement all at the same time. Here are some of my all time favorites from here blog Atlantis Home. All pictures are from her blog.








Other looks I love (and covet)...





PC: Garance Dore, Sartorialist, Nast-Magazine

Finally, this orange trousers are to die for.

G'nyt!
