INSPIRATION | sweaters

its past three in the morning here as i'm typing this. and you might wonder what's this girl doing at this hour? well, aside from the obvious fact that i'm blogging, i can't sleep because after i got off early from review this afternoon i spent the rest of the day sleeping and now i decided to do "new girl" marathon. 

enough with the blabbing, i just feel inspired with all this knitted tops worn by some of my favorite bloggers. i mean they just feel so comfy and they look so hassle free plus i'll be needing them for the next five months because the cooling system of our review center is beyond what my thick skin can endure! haha

don't go chasing

Just got home from a graveyard shift and i feel like floating because i've been feeling sleepy since three this morning. I just can't imagine myself on a real job and working on a graveyard shift.

well enough with that, i feel inspired though to make a blog post today because tonight will be my last day of duty for this week (a plus factor when you're on a graveyard shift) which means i'll be free tomorrow (YAY TGIF). Made plans to have a dinner out with my friends tomorrow night; i miss my friends already though i haven't seen them for only a week (tons of things to chat about tomorrow, that's for sure). anyway, i have no idea what to wear yet and i've seen these photos saved on my lappy and i'm torn of either wearing cut off denim shorts or denim pants and whether i should wear flats or sky high heels. what do you think guys?

anyway, i should hit the hay now. been wanting to sleep since forever.


P.S photos are not mine. i usually save adorable photos that i love from the net (mostly from lookbook/tumblr/blogs) to my lappy/itouch and they usually serve as my inspiration :) and if your photos are found above, sorry for not asking your permission.

Featuring: DELIKATE RAYNE

Delikate Rayne (Delicate Rain) just recently launched their clothing line: "Everything Is What It Isn't, the Illusions Collection" and above are few of their collection that you might be interested with. I personally love their cropped tops because they're cool and amazing plus their collection also features asymmetrical cuts and ambigram graphics. Ofcourse this is made possible by the founders of this collection, the duo sisters, Komie and Meg Vora. 

P.S. Thanks to Komie for her sweet mail and allowing me to feature their collection on my blog! :)


 

THE EDGE OF WEDGE

HELLO guys? OMG! it's been a while and i haven't updated my blog. I've been AWOL for weeks already; well, only because I've been so busy with all the things going on in school for the past days and you have no idea what I truly mean by busy! (like REALLY BUSY) For the benefit of those who do not know, I'm a nursing student and for two weeks we were doing things not so Nursing-ish. I mean we were coming up with this magazine for one of our subjects and I'm really excited for the final output 'cause it's a FASHION MAGAZINE.Some became editors, photographers, stylist, MUA and guess what my role was? Drum roll please. . . a photo editor! YEAH! haha I'm not really into editing but for school's sake, I did. Feeling like a pro, though. Ha!:P

Anyway, this afternoon we were back to our Nursing-ish routines. We had integration in the morning in preparation for our finals next week (another stressor) and also had our first revalida. And I'm way too happy today cause I PASSED! Thank God! :)

Anyway, I've been looking for a good wedge for like months and I haven't bought one. Everytime I go to a shoe store and attempt to buy one, I always end up hesitating and I don't know why. That's why I'm posting photos of wedges, instead.

Yeah, I know, enough with the talking. I'm just trying to make it up! :)

Enjoy!

HELP FROM THE GODDESS OF STYLE AND FASHION

The days are dragging so fast. Next week is already February which means my 19th birthday is near and I still have no plans but I'm excited for my parents' birthday presents though. But anyway, after my birthday comes our Garland Ceremony which will probably be a week after my birthday.

So if you're asking what the said ceremony is about, it's basically like a highschool Junior and Senior's prom and the Juniors will pay for the Seniors except for their outfit ofcourse! (we're not that rich, you know!)

I have this major problem! Each time I open other people's blogs I always get reminded of what to wear on our Garland and I certainly have no idea what to wear or maybe I did but a little confused for that matter. So, as you can see on the first photo, our theme this year will be Shakespear's Midsummer Night's Dream. My brain, my pen and my sketchpad's not cooperating very well right now. I've already helped out my friend for her outfit and I can't wait for it to get done. But oh please goddess of style and fashion please, please do help me! So what do you say? The photos above are some of my inspiration on what to wear. Got any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. THANKS.

(PS:photos above are from some of my favorite bloggers)
