My Week With Nina

Givenchy jacket, dress shirt, Mark Bumgarner skirt, Forever 21 skinnies, wingtip brogues

(Ok maybe it wasn't a week) I had the great fortune of meeting Marie Claire fashion editor Nina Garcia at the Jag private reception hosted in her honor. If you couldn't tell I was shocked beyond belief that a woman of her caliber and taste would compliment me on my outfit (which led to that picture). I'm pretty sure I was just saying random words in hopes that she'll understand. Nina, if you're out there, come find me, we need to continue our conversation

Always,

Shine Bright Like A Diamond

Mango jacket, Givenchy shirt, Givenchy skirt, Zara trousers, wingtip brogues, diamonds from the sky (Forever 21)

This was a look that I wore at Philippine Fashion Week a couple of months ago. Hilariously enough, this was a revenge on the ex look. I hope it worked. Never bothered to follow up.

Always,

18 Hours

Scarf, Givenchy jacket, black shirt, Louis Claparols sweatpants, Adidas sneakers

Ok maybe 18 hours may not be so bad compared to the 127 hours James Franco's character spent stuck between a rock and a hard place, but it's still pretty gruelling when you're stuck in a car, so I made sure I was comfortable.

The Tourist

Sagada hat, Uniqlo shirt, Dr. Denim jeans, Adidas sneakers, Martin Margiela jacket

This was at the tail-end of a family vacation (that's my sister in the second picture). I was iffy about wearing the Ifugao feather headpiece in the second picture, but whatevs, millenia of culture and tradition has got nothing on getting a good Instagram picture.

With love, Yayoi

Zara sweater, dress shirt, Givenchy skirt, Forever 21 skinnies, wingtip brogues

Wore this to the opening of the Yayoi Kusama exhibit at the Ayala Museum. Whether or not you're a big fan of my my second favorite bag lady (first is Rei, of course), you should go see the collection they have of her work. The exhibit will run until the 1st of September.

You Don't Know You're Beautiful

Bench shirt, vintage belt, shorts, Adidas sneakers

Actually, I do. This was an effort at a bitch look, but I ended up looking like one of the One Direction kids (they're actually my favorite boy band, don't judge).

A Night At The Cinema

Mango blazer, denim shirt, Zara trousers, Topman loafers, white clutch

Took the kids to the cinema to watch a local film about the plight of immigrant Filipino children in Israel. I was a bit overdressed, but hey, when am I not.

Note: I'll be starting my comeback (lols) by posting outfits that I've worn in the past. These pictures have actually already been on Instagram but whatever.
