Cute Club Look

Schoolboy Uniform Power

A preppy look almost like a uniform with the white shirt and navy-blue pants.
Accented with a statement bib necklace and black rose earrings.
(Look in the mirror to see shoes)

I went to a club called 51 for an after party, after a party (last lap) with my sister, Jessica and my friend, Chanice.
Usually people wear dresses to this club but I wasn't feeling a dress that night so I wore this outfit instead and twinned with my sister :D

New posts on their way! Tutorial(in this post)

New post coming soonnn

I'm trying to make things work without my phone. I seriously need to improve my repertoire of tech gadgets. Why oh why didn't I get a job this vacation >.< Oh well.

I went spending and spending these two weeks after the chicken pox. 

I was cooped up for so long (not really... I enjoyed every minute @.@ kdramas) 

When I was released from my cave I just went crazy... I didn't buy much but the amount of walking and store checking I did I could be an Olympian in shopping. 

Every store worth anytime I checked out in Port of Spain and Central. I still didn't hit up south since my emancipation but I did frequent there often right before I got sick.

Some of the stores I bought stuff from were:
Micles
Wonderful World
Shoeaholics
Bang Bang
J&K Signature Styles

These are my most frequented local stores, Bang Bang not so much because it's far from where I live but when I did go I was able to pick up some nice items during their sale. 

Here's a sneak peek of the upcoming outfit ;)

Post Paint Party Duds

Green, paint, distressed, matelot, shorts :D 

Pic doesn't do it justiceee. So this is part of the reprise or repeating as I've worn these shorts a lot (used to be off-white) and now with this paint makeover I can continue to wear them yayz!

A little artsy shorts never hurt nobodyyy. Unless the paint is still running and you get wet... Make sure and wash before wearing! :) Maybe I should do a tutorial for these shorts...

Paint Party Shorts
Step 1: Buy ticket to a paint party
Step 2: Purchase light(pastel or white) coloured shorts
Step 3: Attend party in shorts and get soaked in different colours of paint
 (avoid carrying Iphone)
Step 4: Get washed down with a powerful hose
Step 5: Allow remaining paint to soak into fabric for about 2hours
Step 6: Lightly rinse shorts in cold water and leave out on balcony to dry
Step 7: While still damp, put in a plastic bag and leave shut for 6hours 
Step 8: Remove shorts from bag and hang to dry
Step 9: Tell your mum about the shorts
Step 10: Let her handle the rest
Step 11: Your shorts will now be magically clean and have lovely worn in paint stains

Okay okay, so from Steps 9-11 you just gotta wash your shorts like a normal coloured item and put them in the dryer.
When I figure out how to do this without going to a party I'll seriously post :3

Thnx for your patience

Lookbook 1 :Summer time is fun time

This lookbook is something I started working on a very long time ago and since my dilemma w/ my phone and losing all my pics I'll use in this blog. 
These looks are expressions of Asian fashion and American trends fusing together. Most looks will seem cohesive but the pieces will be from completely different sides of the world (brand wise...we all know everything is made in Asia(most things)) 

Summertime is fun time has 3 Looks 
1) Date look
2) Travel look 
3) Morph-able look(3 looks in 1)
With that stated here is the first lookbook I put together!

Look 1: Fun, Flirty and Frivolous

"Her ponytail swings back and forth in the cool, wind as she totters down the uneven park walkway to her date who sits serenely on a green checkered blanket, flashing a smile as he spots her approaching."

Fun, flirty and just a little frivolous perfectly describes this outfit as it seems to be quite creatively cute but just a little impractical for a park date, maybe swap the heels with some pointed ballet flats.

Nevertheless the Flirt element is there with the pinks and flowy skirt, the Fun with the colour contrasts of pink and blue and the bright shoes and graphic bag and the frivolity of the whole thing altogether as it gives off a lighthearted vibe.

Look 2: Best Before Bedtime

"It became clear that the flying from country to country without anyone to enjoy the sights and scenes with her was a bore and very tiring. Fluffing her hair, she used it as a pillow and fell to sleep"

After jetsetting from L.A. to Tokyo nowadays everyone wants to be "fancy" but the reality is that you're going to be "fatigued" and this is a perfect outfit for hiding your jet-lagged, pre-nap grievances. 

A hat to hide your messed up hair because the flight was that wild, with the seat-belt sign coming on 3 times and all! 

In all seriousness, this outfit is cute airport fashion and perfect for a long flight because you're basically wearing a nightie ;D hence the name Best Before Bedtime.

Look 3: Time to Tic Toc

"Rushing you throw shades in your bag and a fun necklace. Today you have to make a statement, you have to let everyone know you are in control... late but in control"

This is just as the synopsis states, a rush outfit, many elements that come together very beautifully as an ensemble. It can easily go from work to beach to night. 
Work= wear all pieces except the sunglasses
Beach/day= fold camisole into crop top, take off blazer and put on sunglasses
Night= fold camisole into crop top and put on blazer (sunglasses optional)


Andddd that's it for now, maybe a part2 with pics of my clothes may come along depending on the feedback on this one!
