It's in the Detail


"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it. Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?"  ~Dries Van Noten

The Usual Outfit-photo-taking Scenario

 I'm pretty sure some moms out there can relate to this. (:




Uhm no, photographer is not using an analogue camera, he is holding the baby. :p



Photographer puts baby (a toddler actually) down


Inquisitive toddler asks, "Mommy, what are you doing?"







At last, PEACE & ORDER. (:



And the adorable little imp wails, Mommy! Enough! :p

Thirtysomething Mom Sans Make-up




Let's call today's look  The Thirtysomething Mom Sans Make-up because somehow, that sounds waaaaay cooler than Slowing Metabolism and Sleep Deprivation...

Doncha agree? (:
AAAAAhhh the latter's just plain evil. :p

Monochroma-geek

Hi, how are you? My name is Daniel Johnston Toni Nimbus. I'm here for a bottle of Mountain Dew. I love Mountain Dew.


 ♫ We drink Mountain Dew, we drink Mountain Dew. We have nothing better to do but drink Mountain Dew.

 (:


Let's call this getup Nimbus. 

With colors (or lack thereof) so grey you'd think of an adolescent heavy with existential angst, a schoolgirl nursing her very first broken heart, or a young mom on a bad-hair day. 

MAC Russian Red
 or Chanel Fatale Rouge could have saved the day, rescue it from total bleakness and gloom but that would deviate from the look tried desperately, and I mean des-p'rate-ly, hard to achieve. 

 Or perhaps an orange Marc Jacobs tote (a knock-off of course, I can't afford the real thing) could have done the trick but that would be like adding cream and milk to a black coffee. 

 Of course this schizophrenicish rambling barely makes sense if at all, but that was exactly the tone I so desperately, and I mean des-p'rate-ly, intended. :) 

 The End.

Just Add Tomatoes

I have yet to do justice to this over-sized drop waist dress to save it from being stashed into the impulse-online-purchases drawer. It looks rather drab and grey (well, it is a coal-colored dress, after all ). I have attempted to mess with its  form but I un-stitched it afterwards because I thought it looked worse. Maybe when I gather enough inspirations online, I could give it the love it needs. Ahaha. :D

Anyhoo, I wore it to the mall with a wrong choice of a bag - wrong because there was no... uhmm... ooomph. Good thing I saw a sumptuous tote! I immediately bought it and used it then and there!


And so I learned a lesson that day --- looking for some ooomph? Please see title.








Note: Not too much tomatoes though, lest you wanna have arms as huge as mine. Har~  ^_^

FASHION LOVE POST: Momentary Escape à la Mode

My lethargic mind couldn't come up with a better way to call it just yet, I guess this one would do at the moment: FASHION FANTASY.


Though I've been at it for a while now, I have to give the credit to a fellow postcard hobbyist and sweet friend named Abran for seeing it in a different light.


He has this to say:




It was about my recent facebook wall post (and yeah, we do LOVE  each other ^_^).


It pains me to think we might not meet again ever. I'm not from your era.


What made him see it that way may have started from these posts:


I'll wait for you at the Soda Pop Station, sweetheart. Please don't be late.


The day you stood me up... but it's all good, I dated R2-D2 instead. >.<




Yes, you read that right, R2-D2.











Hmm... I think this shall be a start of something more exciting. :) Something that would add substance and soul to something that's -admit it or not- superficial. Something, something, something. Noticed something? Haha. ^_~

P.S. I'll try to make some sense when baby gets back to sleep.

FASHION LOVE POST: Like Flowers Need Sunshine


Sunshine. Flowers. - Don't these equate Happiness? Well I was happily pulling on the floral on floral trend here and it made me feel oh-so-feminine and sunshiney happy ^_^.  I know this ensemble would have been better if  I punctuated it with a pair of espadrille wedges but I decided against it knowing full well that it would be silly because I have my finest accessory with me - my healthy, heavy  (thank God) baby.
