Ever had a point in your life where you wished you were a kid again? I've had those times recently. It felt so good to be that little thing, wanting so much in life, thinking about absolutely zero problems. Everything just felt so light and easy. If there's ever a part in your life where happiness is real and pure, I guess that would be your childhood days, don't you agree?

I bet you dreamed a lot as a kid. I know I did. Unfortunately, I didn't follow my dreams (which I super regret). There was too much pressure and influence around me that made me go the other way. Of course, I also had my share of wrong decisions, letting external factors affect me so easily, hence the regrets. But now that I finally had the chance of changing my life's direction, I decided to grab it. Well, I had second thoughts at first since I was used to doing things that would make other people proud, but then I thought, I should make myself proud first, right? So there's this plan that I will be accomplishing soon. I will be sharing about it to you guys once everything's already set. :) Wish me luck!

You will never find happiness and contentment by proving your worth to other people before making yourself happy first.

Something I learned in my life. Hope it would help you too :)

Have a great day guys!

P.S. I had this idea of a post because while I did my outfit shots, I really had fun. I felt so free and I played like I was a kid again, dreaming of how beautiful my life could be as I become a full grown adult.

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? :)

2-tone Leggings: Maldita

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!

Carbon Copy

Metallic Bandage Skirt: Trinkets 2 Keep

Batwing Top: Mental

Accessories: Butingtings

About the outfit:

I wanted to look simply elegant and comfy, so I decided to wear this Batwing top which really beat the heat despite the long sleeves. I didn't want to look too plain, so I wore this very cute metallic purple bandage skirt from Trinkets 2 Keep. We planned on going to the mall, so I wore flats so that I could last long walks inside. To add a lil twist to the look, I wore accessories that I think would pretty much stand out and would not make my look dull.

Metallic Flats: Penshoppe

Meet my youngest bro, Angelo :)

Just a lil sharing again... :)

My parents are simple people... and their children doesn't actually dress simply. LOL. My mother once said, "I wonder why you kids dress up like that when your father and I are just simple (saying this in a very casual and cute way)" We really don't know why, but my two brothers and I just want to look and feel good everytime we go out of the house, just like the day these photos were taken. My youngest brother, Angelo, wanted to go to a mall nearby to buy a shirt so Erick and I accompanied him there, but before that, we REALLY had to take outfit shots! I love my brother's fashion sense - Korean-inspired (well, a lot of people say that we do look like Koreans! haha)

Bonding with my brothers is one of the things I really enjoy. Love em so much!

OH, ABOUT THE TITLE: I used this title coz a lot of people say that Angelo and I look really alike and we're the carbon copy of my Father and Grandfather (God bless his soul)
