I gave color the benefit of the doubt and ended up feeling like a fruit.

Care to venture a guess?

Two hours of my afternoon was spent taking down notes for my dissertation topic before I slipped into the 8th floor of the national library to spend the remainder of my day being inspired...

It's about time I retire this dress....I think I wear it at least once a week.
Well I *tried* to make it look a bit different by adding a layer or two!

The Five things I want for Fall:

Currently obsessed with emeralds, jades and onyx.

It's funny how I have no real profound opinion on jewelry (or fashion for that matter) other than I like it or I don't. And why I like it or don't is completely arbitrary .(Who else would love art nouveau in all its organic and mystic glory and the clean geometric lines of art deco in equal measures?) Unlike the style icons I so admire - Jackie Kennedy,Diana Vreeland, Lady Amanda Harlech and Daphne Guiness -I am incompetent in my knowledge of the style and substance of art. And so I judge paintings, sculpture, and even clothes and jewelry solely based on my taste and preference.

It's probably not such a bad thing that these are the 2 things I trust most in the world.

I know I've been a very bad blogger lately (busy! busy! busy!) and I'm sorry about that.
For the meantime check out my little stint as a guest blogger in Style Bible,
alongside the fabulous Nina Estacio of Glitterati and Mabuhay Girl fame.

F21 shorts, thrifted blazer, shoes from Hong Kong, billabong beanie, Aranaz for Duerr feathered bag,
faux bangs ( aka 'fangs') from Tokyo Posh.

The weather in Manila has been crazy.
But I'm not complaining because all the rain is allowing me to dress up like a winter wannabe! Wearing the jacket from 2 posts down which I'm thinking of adding to our Looking for Lola store. Any takers?

My love affair with the 80's and 80's fashion started all because of one man.
RIP John Hughes :(




The reason why I wish I grew up in the 80's.
How great would it be if my life were a John Hughes film?

Using my new toy: The Nokia 6700 Classic
I love it. It's so small and sleek! Love how it easily fits into my favorite clutch.
Definitely an upgrade from my battered scotch tape covered Nokia. Hahaha!
Thanks to the awesome people of Nokia :D Yay!
