Aberration

I was never a sporty person, though I wish some of my future kids would be. 

The only ones I knew (past tense because those "skills" have been repressed longer than I can remember) how to play were badminton and swimming--both were forcibly imposed by my parents just to get me outdoors on summer breaks. But a sport that I really find cool ("cool": looks fun but I don't really know the rules) is football. There's something so attractive about the jersey top uniforms of international football teams (e.g. Brazil). So when I saw this watermelon-print cropped top from Romwe, I didn't think twice of spending my blogger points for it. It looks like one of those shirts that football players wear, just more girly and summer-y and I just feel extra sporty today.

Since I'm not comfortable with belly appearances, I paired the cropped top with high-waisted leggings from Ohkayganda Boutique. I believe that dressing up is like cooking. You have to know what ingredients and mixtures work for you to achieve a pleasing blend. In this case, the cropped top + high-waist bottom combo perfects balance and compensation.

Of course, this leopard print wristwatch from Born Pretty Store is a favorite because it could stand out and blend in at the same time. It goes true with this handbag from Mindanao. Both have patterns quite dissimilar with the rest of the outfit but when put together, they all look like they were made to belong there.

Show some love and hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

I Heart You

Living up to my blogger bio, it's always a colorful summer in my world indeed (even if at least 2 typhoons have already passed the country recently). I'm certainly not a t-shirt person but it's very difficult not to "heartily" welcome this top from Ahai Shopping in my closet. It's the concrete interpretation of  "hearts all over the world" and I feel so inspired and jolly and so much loved just by being in it. 

 The bipolar weather had a good side after all, as well.

I needn't pretend that it's summer under gloomy skies because the sun shone so brightly during my weekend mornings in Roxas City despite the frequent afternoon showers. So I took out my beach hat from Sammydress that btw, made me feel like some top Lookbooker and these round, vintage sunnies from Chemjoy.com. I've long been looking for the perfect Lennon sunglasses and I'm so happy to have finally found the perfect pair. I hope you won't mind me wearing these sunnies a little more often on my future posts?

And as promised, here's another patternistic bottom from OhKayGanda Boutique! 

I don't think I'll ever outgrow the stripes trend. It's just too funky and versatile to give up.

Of Studs And Studying

School bag, meet my readers.

Readers, this is my school bag. :)

School can be really cool with a studded leather and waterproof backpack like this from Yhansy but it's definitely cooler with a studded backpack + good grades. I am currently struggling with Endocrinology and there is no way to pass than to study and to push myself harder.

This is gonna be a long weekend with Steroidgenesis and the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System so I won't keep this post long. I wish you all good vibes and I hope you like my patternistic skirt from OhKayGanda Boutique as much as I do. They really know what stuff I fancy! I'll be posting more patternistic looks featuring their bottoms soon. As of now, check out @ohkaygandaboutique on Instagram.

You just might find something you like!

Much love,

Mela
