some recent inspiration to wearing the oh-so comfortable trousers/pants: neutrals, tapered at the hem, printed and paired with neutral top & bag.. and so on and so forth(!)

Style Inspire: Summer Rain

I was happily resizing some scanned magazine pages, and thinking how happy this summer would be with the sunshiny sun when suddenly my work station and the world around me darkened and rain poured down heavy from the heavens. My gaasss, it's really true that this summer would not be as hot as it was the years before.

Anyhow, I'll just share these magazine pages from Lucky, Glamour, and Boho magazines.

Style Inspire: Magazine Scans 2

It's the cute bike, and its color. And the cute thought of going to work (or school) in the cute bike with the cute color in polished clothes.

It's the leather jacket.

It's the sailor-themed clothes. And the fact that dark blue is a good alternative to black.

It's the comfortable black romper and the polished red.

the colors!

more colors!

Style Inspire: Magazine Scans

Some scans from magazines of past seasons that I want to channel this summer, or year, or forever:

It's the healthy hair with the sparkly color, and the bright smile. It's the positive attitude.

The swinging and below the knee skirt.

The matching of unlikely matches: red and black & white. It's the comfort.

The long skirt is a classic.

The neck-tie blouse is vintage and an all-time sexy top.

The fresh, and non-complicated colorful life.

Have you seen this?

I am not a color person. No, I meant, I don't know how to mix & match colors. That's why most of my clothes are mono-colored. Or mostly dresses, in mono-colors. :D But I recently found this site, Color Collective via AbbyTryAgain, and I am hooked. I am inspired. Hopefully, this will make my life & wardrobe more alive. :D

Style Inspire: Browns & Blues

I lalaaav et! Browns, blues, whites, and gold for summer.

Style Inspire: Joelle Van Dyne

There are girls whose style I admire. There are girls whose style I admire and wish to emulate. And after spending more than a year browsing through fashion/style blogs, the style of Joelle Van Dyne of The Owls Are Not What They Seem is at the topmost of my most-stylish-girls list and the style I would wish to emulate. In her most recent blog, Ms. Van Dyne said she wishes to follow an oreo-like style -- "simple, subtle and not-too-sweet."

I am drawn to Ms. Van Dyne's lace pieces and mostly white outfits. She looks like a goddess. :D

While browsing through Ms. Van Dyne's blog, which she co-manage with a friend, I made a mental note to self to add more white, lacey and girly pieces for sale at the shop. :D

Travel Loving

Oh, how I love these photographs from Easy Living Magazine. My boyfriend and I are taking a three-day trip to another province tomorrow. We were supposed to go to a beach but all the cottages in the resort we want to stay in are full. So we decided to take a trip to a little city known for its dolphins. But it ain't no dolphin season this month, so we are just going to take a tour around the city. I am hoping to recreate these looks, especially the model's giddiness and her blush. :)

for the hair

Last year, I used to oogle over this Shop's hair pieces and I still oogle over them today. They are beautiful, just beautiful. I can imagine myself wearing nothing with this and I'd be the most beautiful woman in the world. (oh, well, i am wearing nothing).

I love my job. I work as a managing editor for a small U.S.-based company that publishes online newsletters tracking billion-dollar bankruptcy cases. I am proud of my job. I have tracked several of the largest U.S. bankruptcy cases of all times, including Lehman Brothers, General Motors, and, recently, CIT Group.

But sometimes, my job bores me to death. Sometimes, I fall into a "job coma" wherein I do not know where to begin my day, where I don't want to begin my day at all.

Sometimes, I wish I can focus 100% of my time on the Shop. :D

Recently, I discovered Liz of Late Afternoon, and has been coveting everything she puts on. I love her looks, and I am already thinking of applying one, or a few of her style, into my own. She's so lovely.

Toast[ed]

It has been very hot here in the Philippines in the past two weeks. It has been ideal for washing clothes and having them sun-dried. I have taken to thrifting clothes so I could wash them and sun-dry them. I love the smell of clean, sun-dried clothes. But I wish the weather is a little bit colder so I wouldn't sweat this much. And these photos, from an online boutique, wants me to fly north and taste snow. :D harhar

The photos are lovely noh? I love them, and I've download their catalog to be inspired. :D
