Feisty Feline

Everyone in my family including my boyfriend dressed up on the day we watched Breaking Dawn Part 2. My sister wore black and Mark arrived in my home in a black and red get-up which was so in theme for Twilight. I donned a grungy outfit that was somehow inspired by Bella and the whole feel of the movie. My shirt also has a cat print on it which can totally pass as a werewolf of the Quileute Tribe. Whut-whut! My mom had been so excited to see this movie that she reserved tickets earlier on and made this day a family date. Everyone was so cooperative by dressing up! As for the movie, well...we all liked it. I was pleasantly (and almost violently) surprised at the outcome of the film but it turned out really well, I must say.

So this was my outfit for Bloggers United 3 last June 2 held at Grandsview Events place in Makati. This whole look came together last minute actually and I couldn't be happier with the result! I was again, playing out a fantasy or a different persona here, one who just got out of bed, grabbed yesterday's too-cool-for-you-tee, and slipped on some thigh-high stockings that would make Taylor Momsen proud. Of course, that thing about wearing yesterday's tee wasn't true. Although I did wear the neon tube top for the 2nd time in a row that day! Sorry. Haha! I must say the best outfits for me are those that aren't planned. However, as much as I liked this look on me, I must admit it was kinda hassle to wear because of the high side slits of my shirt! Hubadera fasyooown! I wore this out to the movies before I went to BU3! What was I thinking, right? I was shivering the whole time and thought I was gonna catch a cold, or even worse---pulmonia! Haha! Total miscalculation of the weather too. It rained and wasn't hot and humid at all. No worries, I came out alive, pulmonia-free, and lived to tell you this story. Haha!

Jealous Guy

And then it started to rain...

...so I grabbed my umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh.

This was my outfit last July 30 when Ma and I went to watch a fashion show at SM then had dinner at PCH with my high school chums right after. (I was crossing a footbridge at Convergys when I came across a group of call center agents and one of 'em remarked upon seeing me: "Ay bongga si Ate!". Felt shy after that. Haha! Anyway, it was a rainy week and was chilly enough that I finally got to wear this leather jacket that I bought a year ago. Been a while since I donned rocker chick clothes so it was definitely a refreshing change for me. I was feeling the rocker vibe as I was really into the style of Liz Gillies of Victorious (yes, the Nickelodeon teen show haha) that very same week. Look who's got a girl crush. Haha! But yeah, I love her. She's a very talented lassie and she deserves to be recognized together with her Victorious co-star Ariana Grande who also participated with her in the Broadway musical 13.

And here's Liz' cover of John Lennon's song "Jealous Guy"...hence the title. :) Yeah...I guess I'm an oldie when it comes to songs. I'm not really always "up to date" when it comes to that and my friend Anna can attest to that when she once borrowed my iPod and was pleasantly surprised to see my playlist. "Andaming lumang kanta", she said. Hahaha!

PS. So many photos, I know. But I just couldn't decide which to include here so I just dumped it all on here. Hee.

Toughen Up

Oh I just missed wearing an all-black ensemble! Isn't fashion so much fun? You can go from being a girly-girl in a frock to a rocker chick in ripped jeans! I like different styles and I don't want to just stick to one look only. Then again, I adore those people who have a certain look and have found their own "style". Oh what the hell. Let's all just have fun with fashion. :)

I wore this when I went to the mall with my niece and my 'Lil sister for their voice lessons in Center For Pop Music Phil sometime last week. It was the first time I accompanied them and it brought back a lot of good memories from when I was a trainee then as well. Ahh...I hate the feeling I get when nostalgia washes over me and leaves me feeling sad.

PS. I ripped these jeans myself and I love it!

PPS. Please excuse the disheveled hair. I tied it in a ponytail and when I let it loose I couldn't do anything to straighten it for this shoot. But you gotta admit, it added a 'lil something extra to the overall look (or so I think it did haha).

Much Love,
