Ultimatum, Weather in Trinidad, My shoes! My jewellery!

My Shoes! Oh my Jewellery!

I have decided to try Wordpress but just have my blog on both sites. Funnnn! 
From tomorrow pics galore, hopefully it's sunny but not too hot :3

Today was rainy very early in the morning then very hot during the day... had to forsake the environment and turn on the a.c.

Another thing about the Caribbean that irks me. What happens to my shoes in this heat when my room becomes a furnace or if it's rainy and my costume jewellery begins to turn >.<

"My shoes! My jewellery! Oh my shoes and jewellery!", I feel to shout like Shylock, Portia's father from, Merchant of Venice "My daughter, oh my ducats, oh my daughter! Ran off with a Christian! Oh my Christian ducats! Justice, the law, my ducats, and my daugh

It seems I'm admitting my materialistic ways on a blog, either way my parents' hard earned money bought most of these things so I gotta appreciate them and take care of them through the use of a.c. (>.<)

Never said I was an environmentalist but in a way by me trying to preserve my shoes, that's a sort of conservation. The longer my shoes last the less likely for me to buy another pair (wishful thinking) the less "man made materials" have to be produced thus decreasing CO2 emissions by factories! :D

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!

The pain of losing a phone

So the phone is not dead but it almost is. What is an iphone without Wifi? And turning off every 2mins. sighs... how will I take pics for my blog...

Also no instagram, Lord :(
I had to resort to an old BB that was collecting dust in a basket.
Good thing I almost never throw out electronics. "Recessionista" shouldn't count for electronicssss T.T or "Reprise" lolz

Took forever to type this short bit of info >.< back to the stone-age (was only abt 18mths ago)

Outfit idea depicting my mood for the night in the next post :s

IPhone Revival

So tomorrow, will mark approximately a week since I've put my phone in rice... It's a big day since I'm going to try to charge my phone since the water incident and I am sooo nervous. >.<
I'm praying that it turns back on and is working normal. I really can't afford a new iphone at alllll. So hopefully. My autosave icloud feature wasn't even on for my notes so I lost all... plus my melody recordings and pics. Depressing realities... Idk what I'll do if the phone doesn't come back on, probably cry. Ughhh.

I'll be positive and pray that it comes back on!

Iphone Fighting!

Blogger's Tragedy

So I went to Tobago for a paint and water party... My iphone got soaked so no pic updates. Praying it survives. Undergoing the rice method right now >.<

Tobago for a day!

My long anticipated Tobago party is coming up. Excited to go since I can't remember the last time I went tuhbaygo :D Sister isle to Trinidad I'm coming soon! 

Even though I'm staying for a day packing has already begun. Gotta have everything for a trip regardless of how small. At least 3 outfits for a day ;) and all the essentials(separate post)

Beachy/casual outfits on their way! 

Partayeee : clubbing shoe buy

New shoesss

Price: Finally not an impulse buy aha. $195TT from Shoeaholics. So I did see these online for $15US so I think shoeaholics had a great price :) 

Fit: the front was cutting into my toe a little but I just put tape on the inside and it stopped hurting. 

Standing time: 3hrs before my feet started to hurt. 

Quality: good not fantastic but I did get some dings at the back by the end of the night since I was wild. >.<

Some outfits coming from this shoe soon!

I love Bamboo the brand cuz it's so affordable and comfy. One of the better brands for the Recessionista.
