somehow, i always forget to take outfit photos before a big night out, which is a shame really, because it's the only time i actually plan my outfits. will try harder to remember next time. the dress is really a larger cowl neck top worn backwards...yup, backwards. it's kind of obvious in the second picture, but no one could tell on the night, except when i showed them the hidden tag. it looks better this way, imo, and i wish i had a better photo of what it looks like from the back...really backless and drapey. heehee, i like to think that the ability to wear garments in a completely different way than what they were intended to be is a hidden talent of mine.

A classic example of "I loved it so much, I bought it in both colors!" After last year's wardrobe cleanout, and discovering I had several exact dresses in three different colors, I promised myself i would never do this again...but what can I say, sometimes you happen upon something you just have to have, and when the decision is that difficult, you might as well do the easy thing and buy both! So says my logic anyway, i'm sure my highly anorexic bank balance wouldn't agree. And what about these JC knockoffs by Sportsgirl? Freaking amazing, is what! I try not to buy too many things from Sportsgurk in fear of looking like everyone else, but these just had to be bought. I've been toying with the idea of purchasing some from Nastygal, but with my weirdo shoe size, you can never tell if it will fit or not, so really when i saw this it was a no-brainer purchase. And you know what? i know everyone says this, but really, they are just so comfortable. Like 8 hours running up and down the stairs with armfulls of clothes on hangers comfortable. yuuup, that good!
The weather this weekend has been amazing, just really sunshiney with the perfect winter breeze. It was perfect for opshopping with my lonesome (which in my opinion, is the best company for serious thrifting!), dinner and movie with the boy, dim-sum brunch with the "inlaws," afternoon beer at the pub with the girls, and a night in with weasel to cap it all off. I know, I know, I've quit the stuff, doesn't mean I won't dabble every now and again.
how was your weekend? :)

i look a little worse for wear in these pictures, but i don't care. say hello to my furry friend, otherwise known as best cardigan ever! i have been hunting for one just like it in opshops around Perth, ever since the Shakuhachi Winter '10 lookbook came out. last friday that hunt officially came to an end. i have worn it pretty much every day since, it literally goes with everything, and warm as summer that i dont really need anything else. plus it makes me look like a crazy bag lady when i walk down the streets which is always a plus. definitely worth all the evils the stuffy old ladies throw at me on the train on the way to work!

what's been your favorite winter buy so far? :)

pictures from the weekend. warm sunny days are becoming few and far between, and it's kind of a bittersweet feeling. i feel like i have been waiting for winter forever, but now that the rainy days and cold mornings have come to perth, i find myself walking on the sunny side of the street and revelling in the feeling of the sun on my skin. byee summer, don't take too long a vacation. i kind of miss you already.
and speaking of vacations, ze trip to manila-land looms before me. kind of excited, kind of not...i can't wait to see my nephew, be with my friends, shop till i literally drop, and eat all the yummy food. but there's lots of things i'm not looking forward to as well...wish i were going on a real holiday. but meh, ce'st la vie, it will still be a wicked trip i'm sure.

Miranda Kerr in i-D Summer 2010 (via Studded Hearts)

She looks so different in these photos but i love her nonetheless. Those Miu Miu shorts in the first picture are different levels of amazing. And i'm totally loving this americana/sweats/grunge look. Perfect weekend-wear, or as the we say in philippine-land, pambahay. That's actually more accurate...perfect pambahay. =)
