Plain and simple

Another day spent just running around, so this outfit can't get any more basic: T-shirt and jeans. You can't really go wrong with these staples! West 49 shirt, Habitual jeans, The Original Car Shoe driving shoes A bird started chirping, and of course, I had to look:P We ate that day in this Vietnamese restaurant we always frequent. We eat there so much they actually know our orders by heart! :) Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) Halo halo (Filipino dessert) What have you guys been up to? Hope your week's going great!

New in...off the wall

These were on sale for 50% off ...woot woot! I had to get them, especially after obsession #13 ...well, that's my excuse anyhoo:P Vans SK8-Hi D-Lo in Blue Atoll canvas I love the colour! So bright and perfect for summer:) Here's how I wore it: Gap knitted vest, my hubby's shirt, American Eagle jeans Any new hauls for you guys?

Dancing in the dark

Image
This look is inspired by the dancers of Kreesha Turner's new video for "Love Again". I really loved the whole aesthetic of it because it's very post-apocalytic/Girl With Dragon Tattoo :) (N.B. I have slight obsession with dancers in general. I blame the movie "Step Up":P) Inspiration: Interpretation: Twilight hoodie from Hot Topic, West 49 tank, Levi's jeans, H&M sneakers Granted, this look is not very springy/summery, but I still like it coz it's comfy and I can just take off the hoodie when it gets too hot:) Hope everyone's having a super-duper great weekend so far!

Obsession #13

Image
One of the great things about being a stay-at-home mom is that I can actually get away with wearing trainers everyday, and no one can tell me it's not a part of the dress code....heehee.... Here are the ones I am dying to own... Maison Martin Margiela metallic sneakers (image from net-a-porter.com) Maison Martin Margiela leather cut-out sneakers (image from net-a-porter.com) Topshop Trouble Mint sneakers (image from topshop.com) Nike x Libery sneakers (image from teenvogue.com ) These Vans that Jerome Dreyfuss owns (the picture that started it all-image from thecoveteur.com ) Do you guys like the sneaker trend?

Right to bare arms

With the warmer weather really finally coming, it's great to finally be able to enjoy the no-jacket look and show some skin (which in my case is just my arms which really need some workout!) H&M shirt and pants, DV by Dolce Vita booties My second kid made this for me for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, this was the last time I wore it, as it fell on the toilet that same day and I couldn't sanitize it properly:( Here's to a great hump day! Just two more days before the weekend...:P

Erudite

Image
"Erudite faction norms dictate that a faction member must wear at least one blue article of clothing at a time, because blue causes the body to release calming chemicals, and a "calm mind is a clear mind". The color also come to signify their faction." - from the book Divergent by Veronica Roth (p.348- paperback edition) Express sweater, Zara jeans, H&M/Dragon Tattoo sneakers My new fave outfit...so comfy! I am obsessed with the Divergent series . Guys, I highly recommend it. It's a Young Adult series, but much like The Hunger Games and Harry Potter, adults are sure to enjoy the books too. The story line is set in a dystopian society. There are five factions, each categorized by different set of characters the group value. The protagonist, Tris, has to pick which one she will live in for the rest of her life, and live with the consequences of her choice. I love both books in the series so far, but the first one blew me away! Have you guys read...

Orange you glad...

This is another one of those shirts I have that gets worn soooo many times I should have bought them in multiples...sigh....  I love it not only because I love the colour and the stripes, it's also made of the softest material. J.Crew top, H&M/Dragon Tattoo Collection faux leather pants and sneakers I love how these sneakers looked already worn in when I bought them. Happy Saturday, everyone! It's Victoria Day here on Monday, so long weekend for all Canadians...woohoo!:)
