Just a random throwback for you today! This was taken around last August 2017 and it just seemed on par with today's weather situation. My style doesn't extravagantly change, just a few minor add and subtract, and usually goes on for years. I still love color-blocking with citrus tones whether it's summer or winter just like I did last year. I think the most change I've done on the blog in comparison to 2016 and 2017 is the way I edit my photos. Even on my Instagram, you'd notice that I found my current favorite filter which shows heavy teal tones and usually with the skin "slightly pinked". I can't believe it took me 2 (or even 3) years just to finally have a filter I could accept in all of my photos.
"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming." Despite the humidity and the heat, I really love spring for it's bloom. I love walking on streets, seeing different colorful flower beds in full bloom. I swear, if I ever have a chance to have my own garden in the future I'd fill it with all my favorites such as plumeria, orchids, and hibiscus. What's your favorite flower? This look was inspired by 1950's darlings wearing silk neck scarves and playing with prints. It was a hot day when we took these photos so I wore this very thin and breezy black top filled with pink flowers. Keep scrolling to watch my lookbook and check out other photos!
"SPRING: A beautiful reminder of how beautiful change can truly be" and icky-sticky humidity. Hahaha! All jokes aside, the 1st look of my "Yellow and Black Spring Lookbook" is finally here! I got so inspired with sunflowers this season that I decided to create this 3-part lookbook using 2 colors that don't really associate with spring. I don't know about you, but when spring comes to mind I automatically think of pastels, pinks, and green. What do you think? Anyway, it's been so long since I last did a lookbook and I gotta say that I had so much fun filming this one! Show some love, keep scrolling to watch it and read more.
I wish I could say that I really was a lazy person, but damn. These days being lazy isn't even an option anymore. I recently just posted about this too on my Instagram stories, on how I actually handle everything. The thing is, I don't. Everything has its consequences. I do achieve posting/publishing, editing, writing, and socializing on a daily basis. But it's really taking a toll on my body since I decreased my standard sleeping time from six hours to four hours. I'm ALWAYS tired, stressed, and uptight. Though, there's no point staying that way. That's why I try to find happiness in the little things and with people who matter.
Streetstyle grunge, anyone? As shown in all my previous blog posts and videos, I am obviously into the whole retro, 80's-90's look. I've always admired old-timey fashion and last year I went for a bit more early 2000's. Around the time of scene + hiphop + emo + Avril Lavigne. Yeah, that era. Again, this look is one of the unpublished looks I had from 2017 and I thought of just posting them because it's better late than never, am I right? This photoshoot in particular is actually one of those shoots that I really liked. I felt edgy and cool, rockin' my bright tangerine beanie along with a shiny grey suede shirt. Even added a bit more attitude with my fish nets since they were a big trend last year. The high cut camel-colored Vans I'm wearing in the photos is actually one of my really old pairs of kicks. I haven't worn it in so long and I thought it really matched the look I was going for here. Are you currently loving old-school fashion as well?
Quick question! What do you associate with the color green? I always see it being a color of envy, grouchy, or war. After years of watching cartoons and movies, green would always be the bad guy. Either their outfits, their hair, their lairs, their acid/slime guns; take 'Shego' in Kim Possible for example. The super-villain sidekick hottie is 50% black and green, the most generic bad guy duo color. Joker, a more famous character, has green hair. Heck, even Grouch from Sesame Street and the Grinch are full bodied green. BUT.... (yes, I am considering a big "but"), there are also a number of main/side characters that are in the green team and usually, they're the cool ones. Most obvious pick is Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls, I even had a time when I wanted to be her but my eldest sister demanded that she was Buttercup and I was Bubbles (Pshhh.... @styleche). Another cool-green-main character my sister fought for with me was Sam from Totally Spies. She was like the coolest, the kindest, and even the hottest of the three. So I guess, the color green shouldn't always be associated with evil, but more into being a bad-ass color theme. Which is what I felt like wearing this dark-olive green jacket from H&M.
Yeah you heard me! There is no such thing as being extra when you're Barbie. Happy National Barbie Day! I like how the International Women's Day (March 8) and Barbie Day (March 9) is just next to each other. Because to me, Barbie is a symbol of women, is she not? Have you ever had a phase when you were just so into playing barbie dolls? I had! In fact, I had a blonde, blue-eyed Barbie for three years named 'Cream' when I was around 8 years old. She had a house, loads of clothes and shoes, and a camera. Yes. A camera, barbie size! It's kind of how I see myself these past few years, so I guess, Cream was how I wanted to see myself in the future (the near future in this case). We were so alike that one of Cream's favorite thing to do was swimming.... and that was how I lost her.
The unplanned outfit post that turned out blog-worthy! We (my family and I) spent a weekend over at Hong Kong last Feb. 10 and 11. For the 1st day me and my sisters planned to go to Ryze, Trampoline Park over at Quarry Bay. But of course, being with two bloggers, a short photoshoot session was needed. All I wanted was #ootd looks for Instagram, but hell, my boyfriend/photographer makes so much wonders!
Bonne journée! Looking back to one of my unpublished posts in 2017, here's to when the weather was just starting to get chilly. On the day we took these photos, I had some relatives from the Philippines come over and thought of walking them around Fisherman's Wharf. Of course, I had to squeeze in a quick photoshoot because my outfit was effing-cute! I've posted a few of this look's photos on my Instagram and got a lot of love for it. A few people also said that this outfit feels very "me". To be honest, I thought I was pushing myself a bit out of my comfort zone when I wore this look. Especially with the high burgundy socks and shoes combo? Yikes! However, I ended up really liking this look and thought I look very "French"... well, stereo-typically.
Okay, so I just now realized that I had so much pending looks from 2017. Too much that they make up at least 3 months worth of blogposts. Hurray for me? I don't want to backlog my new 2018 outfits either, so I guess I'm just gonna slip in a few here and there. As for my #throwback2017 looks, here's the 1st one. When I felt like a sassy orange ready to take over the world. It was around early December when the temperature just dropped to 12 degrees. It was so damn cold but I really liked my outfit as it is so I refused to wear warmer clothes. Fashion over comfort?
OMG! Haven't done an outfit post in a while! I'm back guys! Back with them winter looks because it's still pretty cold here in Macau. What better way to start off the year with a sassy retro look that of course, has a bit of shimmer accent. This was my outfit for 2017's countdown and I think it represents how I would want my 2018 to look. Bright, psychedelic, with a bit of fierce. I've set so much goals for both the blog and my personal life this year, and I'm going to strive achieving them one by one! Talk about some serious New Year's resolution!
