The Burgundy Season

Photos by: Raphil Saguan

Gone are those days of basking for neon splash and electric colors in lieu of the everyday scorching heat and all-year around summer flare madness of my country, Philippines.

As I've mentioned in my previous blog posts, I luckily witnessed one of the most romantic season in the world, Autumn. Contrary to my habitual splashy flashy guise. 

What more could a blogger do most likely do? Take a lot of outfit shots as much as I can, abusing the season! (Thanks Raph for being with me through this)

Perhaps, I may seem a little bizarre about this new trend since it's not in my everyday routine to wear dark hues, and thick clothes. 

And oh, this jacket (I forgot the term) had been living in my closet for years already and seems to have a hard time looking for a perfect timing to show. I'm glad it finally found the perfect season to exhibit. Well, I hoped I pulled off the correct fashion pieces. 

Watcha think?

Everyone is permitted to have the impression that he's my boyfriend because I will definitely agree! I mean, in the most bizarre sense *wink

No wonder he's the most brilliant photog, bestfriend, brother, sister, husband, wife, sleepovermate, classmate and fashion twin I will ever cherish.

Introducing, Mr. Ralston San Pedro, the one that doesn't lemme know his blog url. Haha

Sorry twin, but I guess the focus on the photos was always meant for me. What did you do? Haha

Much away with the introductions, unto my outfit.

I wanna celebrate being "me" during the last washday of being 18. Lol

and I turned 19 last September 6 and this only proves that this blogpost was almost two months late! Pardon.

I tried to get away with my fashion adventure for once and went back to being "Cham" again and that being me never forget to embody ribbon, pink, laces or anything girly and doll-ish. For the first time in school I wore this dress I bought from one of my favorite clothing brand, Genevieve Gozum. This dress was indeed reserved for special days like this! Clap clap.

To create contrary and tension, I topped it off by wearing my grungy denim vest with my metal necklace. Those additional pieces indeed made my whole look surprising and with a twist. What do you think?

Dress: Genevieve Gozum

Leopard Oxfords: Wade

See you around on the first day of school!

Monsters fall from heaven

You guys have any idea how jealous I am with my friends since I was the only one having a Saturday class? Well, in my case because I'm the only Masscom in the group. And I don't know what's with Saturdays that drives me lazy every time I dress up and makes me wear as comfortable as I can. For instances like this, an asian-inspired outfit will always be my peg. I just don't know why.

It's like I would just like to wear the usual oversized shirt + jeans combo. Hahaha well no. Honestly, I never and not planning to do that. And for this case, at least I've made a statement for me to standout: the shirt I made.

Did you see the details of this shirt? I made this through the concept of heaven and hell (CHOS). I put this heavenly thingy at the top using a glow-in-the-dark glue (I really forgot the brand but trust me, it never washes out when you launder). And added the fiery feel at the bottom. Of course, I wouldn't allow my shirt to be that boring so I cut it accordingly in the front and fringe at the back with my stamped names on it. Do you like it?

Well, I can customize shirts too. Email me if you want a shirt like this:

Ciao!
