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. 

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

Art On My Skirt

    

If you happen to be one of my INSTAGRAM followers, you would've had a clue that I visited some place really quaint last Thursday. Nope, I couldn't tell you guys about it just yet. You'll have to stay tuned, or better yet, visit @wearismela on Instagram for teaser photos. :P

I rarely take outfit posts indoors because of inadequate lighting or the lack of good background. But when I found this chartreuse wall during that "tour", I knew instantly that I found what I've been missing. No exaggeration, but I NEED THIS KIND OF WALL IN MY LIFE (in a few more colors too, if the world permits)! 

I really won't mind having this background once in a while. It doesn't only bring out the colors of my outfit, it can be very practical for rainy days as well--when taking outdoor photos is very tricky.

Cutout tops are perfect for hot, humid days like these. Air-conditioning as some bloggers say.

I opted to soften the black, rockstar vibe by pairing my Mizar Clothing top with this colorful skater skirt from Stiles. The bright wall behind me made me feel like I'm some kind of wall art.

What do you think of this outfit?

Don't forget to hype this on Lookbook.nu and Chictopia!

Better Days Are Ahead

And better photos I hope.

I'm beginning to grow frustration over blurry photos and DSLR settings. 

I swear I did all the best that I could to salvage them via photo processing but the images still look very soft and overexposed. I hope that you guys will still be with me in this time of blogging tribulation. 

I will not stop until I figure this thing out. Promise. :)

Because it's spring on the other side of the world, I came up with a spring-inspired weekend outfit.
This sure will look good with a floral crown but I decided to make the look more edgy with a pseudo-side shave. Blogger friends Kookie Buhain, Em Trava and Gizelle Faye have been rockin' this hairstyle for quite some time so I wanted to try it myself by sweeping all of my hair to one side, taking advantage of my wide forehead. I'm certainly not bold enough to get half of my head shaved but I think I'll need a haircut one of these days. Hairstyle suggestions, please? :)


Much love,
Mela
