Every Tuesday and Friday, I meet my boyfriend at Makati after his work and go on dates. Since we have limited time during these days, we usually end up bringing out Hungry Boy and Parched Girl within ourselves and embark on different food expeditions. This time, after months of prodding from me, we finally got to try out Umami Hambaagu House yesterday! Quite an indulgent meal considering our food had foie gras (P650) and truffle (P420) in it and yet they weren't that expensive. Not to mention the meal set offered refillable rice, endamame and shredded cabbage! We couldn't help remarking how sulit it was compared to a certain overhyped Japanese food house we ate in as well. And because I knew we were going Japanese this day, I made sure to be clad in a Japanese-inspired outfit too. Yes, I am cliche and predictable that way. This outfit is bright, colorful, quirky, eccentric and dark at the same time which tried to incorporate all types of Japanese subculture and fashion (ie. harajuku fashion, goth loli, schoolgirl, etc.) in one look. Of course, I had to still make it all come together and avoid looking like a mess by toning things down a bit. Plus, my highlighter neon yellow top was already too loud so I opted to pair it with black and added one more punch of color that came in the form of my flatforms.
'Til the next Hungry Boy and Parched Girl post!

Sometimes I get hired for different types of job by my mom. I've been a stylist, designer, interior decorator, sous chef, waitress and nanny to her. This time, I was asked by her and her friends to be the photographer for a surprise birthday party that they were throwing for their friend. Well naturally I couldn't refuse my mom and being practically broke also didn't help but I knew I was going to have fun with them anyway 'coz they're such a fun bunch. So there. These were just some of the things I took photos of. Thought I'd also share an outfit post that was somehow summer ready in here as well. Behold, my "photographer" outfit part 3.

A summery outfit post in December! Tie-dye and florals on our last day in Pico de Loro. This has got to be the comfiest outfit I've worn to date. :)

This look screams modern 90's to me. I'm not so sure why but maybe it has something to do with the flatforms, the leather, and the print of my blouse. It just looks grungy in a not so cliche way. I wore this to a children's party (yet again!) btw. I was so bored halfway through the program that I started cracking up jokes to my sister which resulted to us laughing like loonies. I swore to her that I will never let my child attend kids' parties and would rather let my kid be a loner than go through all these boring parties again! I even went as far as imagining a scene where my kid will show me the invitation and I will tear it to tiny pieces or even burn it. *evil laugh* Of course I was just kidding. Haha!

Having worn this outfit reminded me of a phase in fashion that I had back then in 2009-2010 wherein I was very much into monochromatic and B&W looks. I'd don an all-black ensemble and inject a jolt of color, which in my case was always red. My 3rd year prom gown which I posted here during my earlier days of blogging was black and white houndstooth, an unlikely choice if I may say so myself, and complemented it with red lips and hair accessory. I guess this "formula" has always been a part of my "style equation".
Something about this outfit screams preppy-lass-in-the-streets-of-london to me. Think...Alexa Chung. Must be the argyle-like tights, the vintage satchel, beige culottes, and these red floral oxfords. My fave element in this look would have to be my red shoes though. First, I got it real cheap for 197.50 php at Manels during their Anniversary sale where everything is 50% off (btw, the sale is still ongoing and will end on Tuesday so you better make a visit now!). Second, it has replaced my long gone fave red pair (and I can't quite believe that it took me this long to find a new one when clearly, red is my fave color). Third, they're a much modern-looking oxfords that come in a non-traditional color like black, brown, or cream. And lastly, the shiny finish reminds me of Dorothy of Oz's iconic red shoes. Sulit kung sulit! Haha!
