One of the very few non-awkward photos of mine. I very much miss taking photos in the comfort of my own room.

We went to Victoria Peak, the highest point of Hong Kong, but unfortunately it was a bit too foggy to actually see anything at all. On the brighter side, the freezing cold air was surprisingly relaxing and I was able to buy a few random trinkets from the shops there.

(Oh, sorry for the lack of outfit posts. I usually just bring casual/comfortable clothes when I travel. Plus, I’m a bit weird when other people take my photos – I still prefer the good ‘ol self-timer.)

Two friends and I went to Hong Kong for some well-deserved vacation.

Our first day were mostly dedicated to: lounging around the park while drinking our teas and laughing heartily; looking at maps and asking for directions; and of course, eating and shopping!

When a friend knew that I was on my way to Hong Kong, he asked if I could drop by Initial store and check it out for him.

It was love at first sight.

These stockings are a product of a 30-minute self-induced boredom on a humid Sunday afternoon. It did turn out great though, so I guess my time wasn’t wasted. Plus, ripping something proved to be a very therapeutic activity. Try it!

It’s not really my style, but I realised it would go well with my leather skirt. I ended up with this simple black and white outfit, but I think the stockings gave that nice interesting touch to it.

I have been looking for a red hat for years now and I was lucky enough to find one on my birthday. (Talk about birthday luck!)

A few weeks ago, me and some friends were invited to the Manilla Bulletin 3D newspaper launch. Yes, you read that right! 3D Newspaper!

It was one of those days when I really don’t have any idea on what to wear and just ended up wearing a lot of things in one outfit. Until now, I still don’t know how to describe this whole look, but I do have a name for it: Nordic Victorian Preppy. Haha!

In my own world, this outfit makes sense. (I kept telling this to myself that night.)

If I live alone, I would probably prance around the house wearing lacey underwear…. sadly, I don’t. I just compensate by wearing nice underwear everyday, which does not only make me feel a lot giddy inside, but it also lifts up my confidence. And believe me when I say that: Confidence is the greatest accessory you could ever have!

Thank god for Wacoal’s new line of ultra chic underwear, Sorci Age, I am able to feed my obsession with lacey underwear. I just love how they have everything that I want: from ultra playful and girly to dark and sexy.

Remember the time when I got obsessed on sheer tops that kind-of exposed my bra? Getting these wonderful underwear got me into thinking if I could gather enough courage to actually do the “exposed bra” look. I was introduced to this idea a few years back by Carrie Bradshaw, while marathoning the whole six seasons of Sex and the City. I look at her prancing around New York while exposing her bra and I say to myself: “this could actually work.”

I say, this trend is not for the faint of heart. But you know what they say, when you have it, flaunt it! Well, I have wonderful underwear, so I might as well let the world know!

Finally, a well-deserved weekend under the sun.
