Boy in Me

It's been really really hard for me to post regularly and it actually pisses me off. But I've been really busy and I can't find much time to blog and yes, I am a very bad blogger... sad :(

But still, I promise to blog in every free time that I have and I hope all of you, my dear readers, will still be there to support me and follow my posts. I'd be very grateful if you do! :)

So here's another look that I feel so comfortable with. As a kid, I really loved to wear closed shoes, especially rubber and boots. I have always felt comfortable wearing them. It's like I didn't always have to worry about acting so girly all the time and I could run around if I wanted to. Well, I was such a boyish kid. And up till now, I still have that little boy inside me. I'm not a skirt person as you see. I really love pairs of shorts and leggings since they make me feel so free to move, don't you agree?

The denim shirt and the vintage-printed inner made me feel more comfortable. They're so me.

Denim polo: thrifted || Inner: Artwork || Leggings/Tights: Maldita || Leather boots: Thrifted || Sunnies: Ray Ban || Watch: Ice

So how about you? Were you boyish as a kid and are you still like that till now? Does that reflect through the clothes you wear? Tell me and post a comment below! :)

Forever 21: THE GRAND OPENING!

September 27, 2012, Thursday -- SM Lanang Premier Davao City opened to VIP's and tenants. Not all shops were open but those that opened catered people who were invited to join them on their opening events. One event that I attended to was the Forever 21's Fashion show and ribbon cutting event. It was such a great experience for a lot of people, especially to those who are fashion-hungry! There were around a hundred people invited and everyone really dressed up for the cocktail event.

That's F21 at the ground floor

Satchel: Props

Flats: Solemate

I had such a hard time looking for something to wear at the Forever 21 Event at SM Premier Davao City today! I didn't actually plan on going since I was too busy that I forgot about it and just remembered about the event this morning, so I wasn't able to find ways to get invitations or passes. But then a friend of mine, an F21 Card holder, received an invitation but didn't want to go coz she didn't have anyone to drag to the event. I sent her an SMS about the event and I was actually pretty lucky since she invited me to go. SUPER HAPPY!

I recently got these neon spikes bracelets at a department store recently and I am sooooo itching to wear them so I thought of an outfit that would match them. I also tried to think of wearing something fashionable since this is not just a simple event. It's FOREVER 21! So I chose to wear my F21 top and paired it with a blazer. It kinda looked plain when I looked at myself in the mirror so I added this sequined shorts to the look. I figured that a lot of people would wear heels. I wanted to wear heels, but I was too lazy to walk in them today, and I wanted the comfort of my Solemate flats. I really felt comfy with my outfit today plus there's that taste of sexiness because of my shorts. I felt fashionable and free while walking through the halls of the newest mall in Davao City!

Sexy and Free - the title of this post that I thought of exactly because of the feeling that I have with my outfit. Do you feel it too? :)

Ombre Indulgence

Ombre Polo Top: Oxygen || Ombre Studded Shorts: Jessica's Closet || Wedges: People are People || Matte Pink/Orange Lipstick: Excel Paris

Just before I start...

I am so sorry for the one week hiatus... Erick's grandfather died last week (God bless his soul) and I really had to help out with everything...

Okay, so about this look:

Gotta love ombre. I even tried to have ombred hair, until I decided to color my hair underneath instead. When I got this pair of shorts from Jessica's Closet, I was so inspired to make my own (which I actually blogged about too. Scroll down to see!). 

I wanted a balance in this look. I didn't want too much skin exposed since the shorts are really SHORT. Sometimes, you gotta know how to balance a look so that you would still be a walking doll, turning heads as positive responses. I, personally, am not used to pairing up a pair of shorts with a sleeveless top. I always have a cover up or an outerwear. That's how I balance. I already have long legs. I don't want more skin showing. :)

Fashion isn't just about wearing the latest trends. It's also about smart mixing and matching to get that perfect look you desire.

Thanks for dropping by! Do leave your comments about my look, aight? I highly appreciate em!

Mwah!

My Own Pair of Shorts

Artwork Top || DIY Shorts (my old Old Navy's) || Primadonna Booties || Denim outerwear from Gmall || SM Accessories Cross Necklace and Leather bracelets || Excel Paris Volume Uplip Lipstick

If you have read my previous post, well, this is an example of the style I love. This style is so me. :)

Yesterday, I decided to design my own shorts again after almost a year.

And now, here's the finished product!

I'm thinking of making more and selling em in my own online shop (called FADED and TATTERED) where I would also sell make-up (just like that matte lipstick I'm wearing)

I'm actually planning to sell made to order tops and bottoms and make-up, such as MAC.

So, what do you think?

Will you fancy these kind of shorts and make-up?

A Little Twist

Still at home... Please excuse the awkward facial expression.

Top & Robe: B&W Vintage || Leggings: OASAP 

This was what i wore last week when we had to sign our notification assignments at work. It's just somewhat like contract signing. The occasion didn't really call for anything formal or whatsoever, but still, I opted to dress up in a corporate attire... but with a twist. I didn't want to look too much like an office girl so I wore this Scarf-print robe and these unique tights from Oasap.com, one of my favorite online shops!

When I saw these tights from Oasap, it was love at first sight! It really has Gelianne all over it! I have that love for edgy outfits and styles (which I will actually share with you in my future posts) just like what trendy girl musicians, rockers and artists wear - black, studs, see-through tops, tattered bottoms... totally rockin! And if you love edgy styles too, or if you simply have a passion for fashion, then OASAP.com is just perfect for you! Go ahead and visit them and I'm sure their collections will remedy your cravings for fashion items.

Fashion isn't all about outfits that show femininity, but also uniqueness and comfort. You may opt to dress-up with a male-inspired outfit but still look fab and sexy. I am not at all a girl who would just sit down and watch games and shows on TV or just shop around and sit to drink coffee in a cafe (I don't have anything against people like that, just to clear things out). Well, I am partly like that, but most of the time, I tend to indulge in sports and music, which may explain why I love edgy styles. 

We all have different styles, so just know what you want, dress yourself up, and just by adding self-confidence, I guess nothing will go wrong. Of course, you always should consider the place where you are going :) Just add a little twist if you want to for that additional interest and head-turning effect :)

So how's my outfit? Feel free to let me know your thoughts, aight? :)

Wedges: People Are People

A day of errands. I had to go out to buy some stuff for the decorations of an upcoming event, so I wanted to look relaxed and comfortable. So for this look, I chose to wear relaxing colors - pastel shades. It was pretty hot during the day but the materials of my clothes were just perfect to battle the heat. I wore the wedges, but I actually brought flats just in case I'd feel uncomfortable with the wedges after a while (Emergency kit!). Well, I did end up wearing the flats coz I had to walk three blocks just to get to a store to buy balloons. Late afternoon, it started to rain and this cute outerwear that I got from SOUL Lifestyle, which actually has a hood, served its purpose. Ah. The perfect outfit for this day :)

You've already met my youngest brother, Angelo, on my previous post and now, meet my other brother, the middle child, Paolo. He's a smart-ass chemical engineering student at one of the biggest school in the city. I'm proud that he is going well in college, knowing that he choose a really hard course. He's pretty much one of the few students left in their course. haha.

About my outfit:

I really love this sheer top that I got from Trinkets2Keep. It's color is so bold and the prints add up to the boldness of the look. The leggings that I got from Maldita (ON SALE) gave me that edgy feel because of it's colors and the material. Somebody actually said that it looked like a pair of Jester pants, hence the title of this blog. That bag, which is oh so lovely, was a prize that I won in a giveaway contest... lucky, lucky, lucky, don't you think? :)

I am not really a "pants" or "leggings" person. But Erick and my mom once said that I would probably look good in them because of  how long my legs are, so I had to try it out. And I believe they were right! I love how these leggings fit me. I thought that my legs would look fat in these, but they did prove me wrong.

You'll never know if you will never try. :)

Have a great day, Loves!
