Dab Some Paint

Say hello to boho shoes and my brother's DIY shirt! Who would have thought that there are gems inside my brother's closet? Seriously, after today, his closet will be raided more often. Hi, Ralph! I hope this counts as asking for consent. ;D

I can't believe I actually went out of the house wearing these! Was aiming for a punked-up summer look but I ended up looking like a lost country club singer/band member. I'm so thankful I forgot to wear sunnies because that would be like Freddie Aguilar Meets Bruno Mars. :|

Nonetheless, I love how everything turned out. Finally, justice has prevailed for these leather jeans (unlike the one the posted two months ago, click here). :(

May of last year, I wrote about Budding Things---features on people who, like buds, have started small, and are beginning to blossom into the best wonders that they can be. The world needs to know that behind the spotlight and the glitz and the glamour, such people also exist. This month, I will again add three persons on my Budding Things List. :)

Here's what I came up last year -----> Budding Things 2011. 

Are you a Budding Thing? Or do you know of someone who can be hailed as one?

Let me know! And I'll write a feature on that, too.

Much <3,

Against the Light.

Stole a few minutes before Dad took us to the airport last Friday.

I have long planned what to wear on my four-day stay in the big city but when Dad saw my shoes, he instantly shoved me to wear flats instead. :/

As always, I didn't regret following his advice. 

Thank God for the virtue of obedience!

This was supposedly the debut of my Asian Vogue wedges and leather pants, but since we were on a rush, I looked a bit unkempt plus the inappropriate lighting.

 I'll give justice to these pieces ASAP, swear!

All the accessories above cost less than a hundred each! 

Message me for queries. :)

I bet this year's Holy Week would be a very unique one since Lola's spending it in the U.S. and family gatherings will never the the same without her. :/

Nevertheless, we'll really try to make it as meaningful as the previous years.

I'll mark off each day with a cross and laugh about all that we've lost...

How do you guys plan to spend the Holy Week?

Much <3,

Mela
