Bright as a Sunflower

It's been raining these past days so I had to brighten up my gloomy day with a sunflower crop top. I don't want to blend in with the weather. I bet you also experience it. For sure, you know the feeling of feeling blue on a gloomy or rainy weather.

I was in the mood of putting on my SHOP LOCA MANILA high waisted jeans and sunflower crop top. This casual outfit is good-to-go with catchy accessories like a turban, FASHION SPICE MANILA Mise en Doir pearl earrings, EYE KNOW RIGHT round sunnies, white VELOCI watch, white FEET HER WELL flats and HIPSTOP yellow snake skin clutch.

I love this look. It's easy, breezy and comfortable.

I hope everyone's safe from the Typhoon and praying for the families who were affected by the Typhoon.

Changed Up to Pin-Up

I just want to share this, a lot of people think all of my clothes are new and up-to-date but little do they know I'm attracted to the beauty and quality of many vintage items or just vintage-inspired items. I grew up watching old classic movies because of my dad and my sister who went to a film school. I enjoy watching how people was dressed, spoke to each other in an old school way and the everyday scenarios that we don't see anymore in the present. But, of course there are new movies that I enjoy, but sometimes a steady stream of classic cinema makes me feel happy and curious. 

This area of my life where I take refuge in The Vintage Life is a great comfort even in my fashion instinct.

So for my 50's-inspired look, I'll start of from head to toe. I'm a collector of cat's eye frames, I like how catchy and edgy it is. Maybe because I'm a big fan of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. When I saw Audrey Hepburn wearing a pair of cat's eye sunglasses in Breakfast at Tiffany, I want to have my own pair right away. Thank you GEORGINA SASHA for my Vern #GSunnies. Laid my Forever 21 red floral headband that matches these cute red fruity stuffs from ITS GORGEOUS GIRLS. And do not forget the "Pouty Lips". Who can forget that? For pin up lips, opt to wear a bright red, and MAC Ruby Woo is just perfect.

For wardrobe, draw some inspiration from the 50's like the famous polka dots dress. This COTTON ON dress fits perfectly plus the clothe is very comfortable. Last but not the least, can't get enough with these matching lippy bag and red flats from ALLURE COLLECTION. 

Pick a pin up inspiration that you admire and emulate of their dazzle into your pin up style like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Ava gardner, Betty Bromser and etc. But, don't try to copy these woman, try to put your own personality into your look. ;-P
