Geek-Oh-Prep: 22 years and counting.

Time flies by so fast. *sigh*

It was just like yesterday when my "biggest" problem was which color of crayon to use, which clothes to put on barbie and more of those sort. And here comes another year, another 3rd of September. It's like the nearer I reach 25, the heavier the load gets on my back. Ugh. Will get there. Will get "there" just in time. *wink wink crosses fingers and trips*

ANYWAY. Enough of the drama.

My day is special. Marks the day when I was born, but unlike my past celebrations, I chose to have a casual dinner with my fam bam and boyf in a place where we can enjoy the company of our ever dearest "baby,"

Barguette

We strolled around, and instead of shopping for myself at the bazaar, we ended up buying this cute little outfit for Barguette.

I-Can-Fly-like-a-Duck Barguette Shirt

We also saw an uber cool high-cut "converse"-ish shoes for Barguette, but she hates almost everything that touches her paws. 

See, after struggling for bout 15 minutes, was just able to get one on her paw. It could've been cute.

Okay. Down to the outfit of the day. I wasn't really sure what to wear, but I definitely wanted to wear denim shorts. For some reason, I have more pair of shorts than jeans. The weather. The weather.

After my polly-wonderland look, i thought of doing a series of Geek-Preppy-ish looks. It may not be that geek or preppy enough, but it's just a fusion of my style with that of the geek-preppy-ish key details :)

I'm not really sure if I should go for the nerdy look with cardigan? or ruffles?

Polly-Pockety

Boyf and I were in the mood to work on a project. We originally planned working on dolls, until I came across my 1990's Polly Pocket.

Polly pockets then used to be so small, you can slip it right in your pocket; or slip Polly in your nostrils. lol :p Quite good reason why maybe they supersized them into Polly Bags ;)

So I grabbed whatever left of Polly there is in my toy box and invited my friend - Cartie - over at Dex's (the photographer-boyf) "studio." :)


Inspired by the tini-tiny Polly, I came up with the i-can-pull-off--will-try-to-pull-off-a-no-glasses-nerd-look :p which I thought would complement the school polly :)

 And here's the edited one using a photo with different pose. :)

Yes, I know i said that the look I came up with was supposed to be patched on my School Polly. Then again, this was the first edit I got to do so I just had to upload it coz it's so cute :)

Here's more on the outfit:

I won't forget this shoot. More than doing the make-up and all that dressin-up, I enjoyed playing with my toys again (ugh, reminds me of how much I cried watching Toy Story 3, lol) ;)

Weird weather. Weird temperature.

Weather's acting up the past few days. At noon it's scorching hot, breezier but not that freezing after sunset. Nothing new. We have four seasons. Warm, Hot, Drizzle-Rain, Storm. Lol. Scrap out the storm though. It's something I really don't appreciate.

 Anyway.

I love both summer and rainy seasons. But i really appreciate how the rainy season allows me to mix-and-match summer clothes with warming clothes to layer up.

Initially, I just wanted to wear this skirt which I bought from a thrift-scape months back along with my shirt and belt-of-the-month.

Thrifted Skirt. SM Dept. Store Woven Belt. Accessorize Bangles.

Then I saw my mum's vest hanging in my closet. I tried it on, and was quite satisfied how it's print worked well with my skirt's print (at least, in my opinion).

Considering the fickle weather that I deal with every single day, it has been part of my daily routine to squash in my bag any cover-up i feel like bringing with me (this explains all those i-was-kept-inside-the-bag-wrinkles).

Warehouse Blazer. Mum's Vest. SM Dept. Store V-neck Shirt.

It was quite a long day today (which I wanted to end ASAP). But each time I spend with the boyf, makes me wanna stop the ticking of the clock (excuse my corn).

There goes the photographer modeling for his cam.

P.S.

We look dead serious in these photos, but we're total retards when you get to hang with us.

Rain, rain, and some more.

 At long last! My very first blogger post. It's been a year or two since i've lurked around fashion blogs inspiring myself from various icons to come up with my very own. But with all the things going on, its just now that i have the time to sit down and share something about my fickle fashion and my novice styling stints for my ever talented photographer boyf.

This, by far is my favorite look for the week. It's casual and "relaxed" (no-heels week), and above all those, it has a touch of blue. Maybe it's just me looking back how blue my high school uniform and my university jacket was. Oh, makes me feel like 16 again.

Ruffled lacey top from People are People. Oxfords from Shoeoology. Blue Cardigan from Zara Basics.

 It was a perfect sunny day when I decided to put on this ruffled top. This was the second time I wore this blouse. I wasn't really in the artsy fartsy mood so I decided to paired it with my good old jeans and finished the look with tan shoes and accessories. Just when I was about to leave the house for work, I ran back in my room and grabbed my blue cardi knowing that when the clock hits between 1600 and 1700, rain's gonna start falling. Voila!

It did rain. But yea, i love it when it rains. Brings me back to feeling od walking-under-the-rain-while-window-shopping-along-oxford st. lol
