Romancing Fashion

Romantic, quirky, not too cheesy, and of course with a taste of fashion.

Replace the othe girl with a guy and these photos are my idea for my engagement session.

Love me like Sunday

Assisted the boyfriend AGAIN for today's engagement shoot. Le soleil was extraordinarily hot so I was squinting the whole time even if I wore a heavy-tint sunglasses.
I am totally out of words and dead tired right now, I have to go take a bath and sleep with wet hair.

I hope the pictures will make up for my loss of words. :)

Aubergine Overload

So here it is, my first foray at DIY:
a military/band-inspired jacket.
Don't laugh now, okey?

I've seen this jacket when I was thrifting at a PhP 50-all-items ($1-all-items) in my favorite thrift shop just 2 blocks away from our house.
I liked it but not enough for me to buy it so I just left it there and went home with my other purchases.
I returned to the shop again the following day and it was still there just hanging in its lonely corner waiting to be discovered and adopted.
When I went back within that week, I saw the jacket again so I reasoned it must have been meant for me. LOL
I grabbed it and thought of ways to spruce up the simple jacket.
So I stitched gold trims and buttons on the jacket for a military/band appeal.
It took me five hours and countless pricks to assemble all the materials.
I ran out of trimmings so the other side is bare yet. I have yet to do additional stitching on the other side.

What i wore:
Purple blouse - borrowed from Mom :)
Cut-off denim shorts - DIY
Purple Jacket - Thrifted
Black booties - People r People
Chainlink bag - Vintage
Chain headband - Borrowed from little sis :)

P.S. Mom volunteered to take my photos. :)

A Scary Black Saturday

What i did on Black Saturday:

1. Visited my college friend Sophia in the hospital, who gave birth to a very pretty and mestiza baby girl Sonechka (i hope i spelled it right). hehe

2. Visited our parish for our family's annual Stations of the Cross.

3. Had a little bonding time with my close college buds, Rica and Dexter, who by the way is returning to Afghanistan today. :(

4. Had the greatest scare of my life when the boyfriend didn't answer and return all my calls (so unlikely of him!) and I panicked coz I had no clue of his whereabouts. The worry-freak in me was telling me something bad had happened. Thank God he was just asleep in his flat the whole day and forgot to turn on the ring alert for his phone.

That's about it.
So,how about you? What did you do on Black Saturday?

What I wore:

Light wash pants - Thrifted
White tank top - Gap
Missoni-inspired printed cardigan - Thrifted
Brown wedges - from SM
Black chainlink bag - Vintage
