Call It Magic

Last Sunday, I got the great experience of attending one of my dearest College friend’s wedding. It was beautiful. I always loved weddings. Yes, I am that friend who will gush to you about how beautiful you are, willingly come forward once all the single ladies are called out to catch the bouquet and actually stay, which qualifies me as the best wedding guest ever but the allure of it will never fade for me- no matter how many weddings I attend. Add to that the fact that I was born in the wrong time period and think wearing gowns and high heels should be my default outfit and my unwavering belief that it is really beautiful to see two people who love each other and want to publicly declare it have every right. As cynical as I may portray myself to be, I still do believe in happily-ever-afters and there is nothing like a lovely wedding to bring that out. So, on that day, I decided to be appropriate and finally wear this nude gown I’ve had in my closet for a long time… Continue reading Call It Magic

Wild Ones

Young and Wild and Free.
(Jumpsuit: Silay Clothing | Belt: Vintage Paloma Picasso | Necklace: Mango | Shoes: Janilyn | Bag: Louis Vuitton)

Wore this amazing jumpsuit I got from Silay Online which was the right amount of leopard print I wanted for Mexican night out with my brother Enzo. I accessorized it with gold key items including this exquisite detailed Bib necklace my boo, Kato got me for Christmas (I love it, it’s so me!). I also cinched the suit with a vintage Italian Paloma Picasso belt I got from my mom, which I love so much!

Science of Fear

Back to Black.
(Black Tank Dress: Topshop | Intimates: La Senza | Shoes: DAS | Bag: Marc Jacobs)

I had a date with my hair this day and I decided to take it out for a makeover as I had treatment + color + styling done to it. Since a parlor break is basically also errand day, I decided to grunge it up a bit in a simple and loose over sized tank top used as a dress and paired them with my beautiful gold trimmed DAS boots!

Hang With Me

Comfortable in Cashmere.
(Sweater: Zara | Bag: Stam Bag by Marc Jacobs | Shoes: DAS | Accessories: Cultus ChiChi)

I wore this comfortable but also glam gold knit sweater dress from Zara to a belated New Year’s Celebration with friends over at Relik Tapas Bar in the Fort. Since the dress was quite simple, I decided to make a statement with this pair of Scene Stealer heel-less shoes from DAS which are the glittery/ new year party element in my outfit. Wore my nude Marc Jacobs Stam bag and piled on gold necklaces to finish the look.




It was a fun night out with friends but I was quite sad since my sister left for the U.S. (where she is based) on the same night. Sigh.

My sister pseudo-chef-ed at home and cooked us some Spaghetti con tartufo e pancetta
