J.Crew from Head to Toe

While getting ready to head out with the family, I just randomly pulled out a shirt, a pair of pants, and a belt from my closet. 

It was only when I was done did I realize I was dressed completely in J.Crew. (Well, technically Sperry Top-Siders are not J.Crew, but J.Crew sells it on their website. The glass bracelet that is part of my stack of bracelets is from J.Crew)

I know wearing one label from head to toe, is well, a no no. 

But when it's J.Crew, it doesn't seem so bad. Just perfectly casual and laid back.

Axl Rose

Dada: Seryoso ka ba, suot mo lahat yan?

Me: Hon! This is Proenza Schouler kaya no!

Dada: Minsan, feeling ko pinakasalan ko si Axl Rose.

Me: Mas maganda naman ako!

Here I am caught in the act, tying a head scarf, circa 2008. Yes, mala Axl Rose.

Shoes on My Mind

Did any of you catch the start of the net-a-porter sale? It was amazing! So many good deals, I had a fantastic time adding stuff to my cart, pretend shopping.

I managed to whittle down my cart to two items, these Marni flatforms at 50% off and the Proenza Schouler Rope Bracelet which was down to $80.

But I thought I'd sleep it over, even if my friend Me-an who was across the world in NYC was reminding me these things go really fast (yes, we hold shopping meetings online and confer with each other about stuff like this). True that. But I tried to go the high and noble route of waiting until I was sure, absolutely sure it was a go. 

When I checked net-a-porter this morning, it was sob, gone. Not in my size at least. And even if I wanted to be crazy and insane and size down, no can do, it was sold out too. It felt like these shoes were mocking me "Na na na na na, you caaaan't have me!"

Well, I believe in miracles. I believe these Marnis and I are meant to be. It was love at first sight from the very beginning. When these went on sale, yes I hesitated. But what are second chances for? After all, there is the net-a-porter UK site and the Barneys sale. All is not lost. I have faith.

Yes, all these emotions for a pair of shoes. I know.

White Heat

I like this dress from Zara! Those floaty, fluttery sleeves! So dreamy! Degree of Desire? Piquant...

Ok, this lace dress from Mango is adorbs! Looks intricate but unfussy. (Way cheaper than Phillip Lim's original version too!)  It's a knock-off, yeah. Still, I can so see myself wearing this. Degree of Desire? Hot.

PS1, I love you! Degree of Desire? Scorching!

Proenza Schouler Live!

What's so cool is, the next day, Proenza Schouler's F/W 2010 runway bags will be available for purchase through their website! Way way ahead of the market calendar! Amazing! This is a first in fashion history!
