crime scene

i just had my sunday dose of blood, wounds, gun shots, puzzles, traces, clues and questions - CSI supreme sunday.

i really find this series fascinating. the story telling is really fantastic and the science that backs it up is commendable. maybe my 4 years in a science highschool made me this engrossed to chemical compounds, physics, DNA etc. It's not that i understand them all - I actually don't understand most of them - I'm just fascinated. And in school, we only learned theories (we had several practical applications - but very few). I did love chemistry and maybe got interested in physics way back in highschool - and shows like this make me appreciate that i was given 4 years to work in labs, play with microscopes and read long tongue twisting chemical names.

anyhoo, since i didn't get the chance to pursue my dream in becoming a forensic scientist, i have to settle with what's available now - study fashion - home school



more cut-off shorts

right after my sunday dose of crime scenes, i went directly to my crime lab a.k.a. my room and cut another pair of old jeans.



the jacket i was wearing in this pic is something i thrifted years ago but haven't worn it really. i love the purple flower print and the laces on the cuffs. i just can't find the perfect outfit to pair it with - yet.


i have thrifted this tunic top years ago and i think i wore it once - somewhere. its soft and kinda see-through. im planning to wear this in the beach over a bikini and ofcourse my cut-off shorts - but they will need to wait for summer - weather is really unpredictable over the past couple of days and i don't think i would like to get wet in this - yet.

bachelor splash

this was supposed to be my outfit for the Cosmo Bachelor Bash Party - unfortunately, Carms and I weren't able to make it.

It was raining very hard and I don't think Carms even made it to Manila.

Anyhoo, nothing grand really. I wanted to look sophisticated but laid back - thus, the black polo and black shorts. To break the doom, i would have worn my christmas pumps and dragged a red handbag.

top: local department store

shorts: tyangge

shoes: thrifted

bag:local department store

david and goliath

that's how i describe my recent purchases



the goliath bag is ginormous i think my laptop can fit in it

vintage bags: thrifted

cut-off invasion

so the denim cut-off shorts begins. This is the first of its kind - well, at least from the set of my jeans which i will be cutting in the next couple of days.

at first i deliberated on whether to sew the ends of the shorts or just to let it, flare? anyhoo, i decided not to sew it. for one, the loose fold on the ends is more appealing to me.

and i made 3 looks - or whatever you wanna call it. i just paired my new cut-off shorts with three different tops.

printed shirt with vest:


plaid polo and vintage belt:


white tank top and ginormous bag:


tops: Mango, thifted, tyangge (respectively)
vintage belt
vintage bags (will have a different post on these)
vintage wayfarers
Charles and keith aviators

cut them off

so i've been trying to clean my closet and guess what i found - piles of old jeans!

when skinny jeans took over almost 2-3 years ago, i totally forgot about my old jeans. and since im a jeans person, i have lots of them. so i was deliberating on giving them away or just let them stay in my closet - idle.

after browsing through several fashion blogs, an idea hit me - cut them off!


a lot of fashion bloggers who i really really adore have cut-off shorts in their sites and you can totally pair them with almost anything.

cut-off shorts have been invading the streets of hollywood as well.


again, the rugged i-just-got-out-of-bed-have-nothing-to-wear-look

so there, cut off shorts and oversized shirts - rain or shine im gonna these!

rain and gloomy outfits

because the crazy rain prohibitted me from going out (http://edell.multiply.com/journal/item/168/Marce_the_13th), I tried to entertain myself by taking pictures of my room.

I did a little closet inventory and I noticed that I have a lot of greys, whites, blacks and pinks. When it comes to clothes, i don't experiment with color much- i always go with the neutral, safe, easy to pair with colors. It's kinda sad that I have very limitted choices - I always wear the same color!

So, my for my next assignment, I will look for colorful but not loud outfits - more on tank tops actually, so that I can still layer them with my neutral-colored jackets..bwahahaha!

i actually came up with a list on what to get on my next thrift trip:

• silver flats (i badly need these)
• oversized polo (i just want more)
• grey skinny jeans (grey again)
• vintage office bag
• romper
• black cardigan

or maybe i'm sticking with the neutrals? haha!

and my favorite corner....twilight saga, my frogs, my guitar and my collection of snowglobes from different countries


my room



and i am in the process of writing a real post =)

this is not a real post

i went out with friends today and because the weather has been pretty unpredictable for the past couple of days, i decided to wear something that would cover me up good if it becomes cold, but something that is not much of a sweat-generator as well: oversized shirt and shorts

my friend daene described my outfit as: "like she came from her bf's house and decided to wear his clothes"
