Viva Vintage


My first week of school was a bit rough.
As much as I was so eager to have sleepless nights spent with studying bones and muscles, I had study-less nights instead. Last school year's unfinished extracurricular duties badly haunted me--consuming even my lunchbreaks. Sometimes I wish I kept my passion for journalism to myself since Day One. But since I committed myself to this already, might as well make the most of it. :)

Phew! On a lighter note, I finally received this beautiful vintage dress from Fleet Collection!
Well, it's not totally vintage. It's vintage with a twist! 1950's fashion was about midi skirts and dresses with puffy sleeves. This dress may have cutout details at the back but I never felt so bare because its length ran down to my knees. That's why I've always adored Fleet Collection's sweet and classy dresses. Their designs are all-original and handmade, hence, you can always feel their love all the way from L.A.


I decided to stick with nude and basic shades like black and white for my accessories.
It's not difficult to style vintage pieces, really. Just think of Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe or Zooey Deschanel in New Girl and you'll get by effortlessly. You don't have to steal fake flowers from your living room like I did, though. HAHA. Promise, I just took them out for outfit post purposes. 
Kids, DO NOT TRY THIS OUTSIDE HOME.

How did your first week go?
Let's all hope for better weeks to come, yes? :D

Sneakers Girl

Hello lovelies!
Updating this blog regularly was my number one goal when the school year ended but I arrived home with more important activities already set for me. Aside from the Holy Week buzz, I was again commissioned to lead the team for Sons and Daughters Encounter (SADE) - Roxas last weekend. It's just something that I could never say no to. Hence, my first days/weeks of summer were spent for meetings, dry-runs, typing, and double-checking kits and materials for the weekend. Coordinating SADE is honestly one of my most stressful endeavors apart from medschool and research but no matter how tired I always end up to be, the feeling I get after every graduation is beyond rewarding. :)

These photos were taken way wayyy back in February for a contest that I was supposed to join in. I was aiming for an all-blue outfit as one of my mates has long been requesting for a monochromatic post. 
Hi Melch, haha!

Disclaimer: I'm strongly, seriously, and with expectant humiliation, aware that I am "unfit". Took me more than two hours to ask the people at home and decide on which photos to post because one can never lie to a bodycon dress. T.T 
I SHALL allot time for working out starting next week. Promise!!! T.T 
Meet my new favorite shoes from Gifts Ahoy
Looks may be deceiving but they're not your ordinary sneakers. Why would I wear sneakers when I can wear girly-girl shoes anyway? Reason, these sporty-looking shoes have hidden wedges inside. Yayyyy for the 3-inch addition to my height! They're super comfy, too. I wouldn't mind wearing them everyday. :D

This is long overdue but THANKS to everyone who voted for me! We did it again. :D
My victory is yours, too. Thanks to Fleet Collection, as well, for this opportunity!
I love you all from my heart of hearts!


Much love,
Mela
