MERRY XMAS: NOT ON MY WISHLIST ANYMORE




Y'all may know that I have this really good friend of mine who never fails to text me when a good 
pair of shoes or let's say heels is on sale. Well... A few days before THIS happened we were talkin' 
'bout these pair of Valentino that have been on my wish list for ages now. Guess what. They're not 
anymore. They're now MINE. I picked them up today and had the perfect start into this years xmas.
Just came home from our yearly family dinner at my aunts place and first thing I did was putting'
'em heels on again. Couldn't be happier right now. Not only because I have these new babies now, 
but also because I was finally able to spend Christmas Eve with my family again. Over the last years
I was missing out more and more family occasions and wasn't able to spend xmas with my loved ones
a few years in a row. 

Well.. I hope y'all had a wonderful celebration. Wishin' you all a blessed christmas everyone. Much 
love xx

Guess, a new outfit post is coming real soon now :)

GRANNY KNOWS BEST


The items that actually become my favourite pieces are those I get from my aunts. Most of the time
they find some good old vintage pieces and give it to me. I have a lot of blazers that I got from my
aunts and I'm sure you've seen them on the blog already. The best thing about this is that I actually
don't have to spend money for this beautiful garments. My grandpartens who live in the Philippines
visited us here in Vienna for two months. Well, if you spend winter over there you will not be in need
of warm clothes - that's for sure. So we thought we find some warm clothes we can borrow to my
grandma so she doesn't have to spend money on winter clothes that she'll never need except for
her stay here in Vienna. Before my grannies flew over to Vienna my aunt already mentioned that she
found a coat which she was sure I would like . And she was totally right.
I was not the only one who became in love with this orange coat. My grandma wore it almost on a
regular basis when she was here.




If I would have seen a similar coat to this one I would not have gone for it. The thing is that I don't 
like to buy flashily colors when it ocmes to jackets. For me it's a piece that you wear almost every
day and I simply find it hard to find different combinations if the colors is too jazzy already. That's
why I'm so happy that my aunt decided that I can keep this coat. (Thanks so much again Tita).


 







I styled this coat with some of my basics wearing ripped denims and a white turtle neck. As my outfit
for that day was pretty simple it was the perfect occasion to round it up with this colorful coat. To
keep the warmth I decided to go for brown accessories. It runs in the blood. You can see that my
grandma had pretty much the same thoughts by wearing a white blouse underneath. I can't remember
what kind of bag she wore but what I know is that she was for sure not wearing ripped jeans. Actually
when she was my pair of denims she was like "OHH, my poor grandchilt".. Grandmas - that figures :)
What I know is that I want to dress like her when I reach her age. Just better. Hahaha I'm just kiddin'.

OFSUNIFORM



Hey everyone,
after sleeping the whole day after arriving in Vienna yesterday, and attending my seminar this
morning I finally found some time to post one of my outfits I wore in Berlin. I found this cute
polka dot jumper and paired it with a white simple collar blouse. I went for my faux leather skirt
for the bottom part and rounded the outfit up with a simple black coat and a colorful scarf. My
outfit kinda reminds me of a school uniform like those they wear in movies.
I think it's the scarf in combination with the collar that gives my outfit this scholastic touch.



Nevermind, just wanted to share this outfit real quick and show you one of my fave pieces of
accessories at the moment: my silver ear cuffs. I think they can make the simplest outfits appear
so graceful and elegant but yet fresh and young. You'll find the details of this outfit at the bottom
of this post.

LNCLASSICK




Hey everyone. Yesterday I enjoyed shooting another outfit with one of my mains. I used to post 
some men outfits away back as I realized that my male friends are getting more and more into
fashion. It's almost been a year since I posted my first menswear outfit on this blog. Maybe some
of you remember when I introduced you to the guy in this post : Lance Mendoza. Still trying to find 
the right words to describe his style anyway. So we figured out we just stick to labelling it as 
LNCLASSICK. 





He holds a reverence over clothing that also reflects his taste in music, his lifestyle
and his personality. What I mean is that he can wear a simple outfit as you can see here and still keeps
his attention to detail. His combination of a go-to appearance with a touch of his celeb-style is why I 
always enjoy sharing my passion with this guy. His creative outfits always have a sense of class
without skipping the fun part 'bout clothing. Btw, he's the one that texts me every time a pair of 
good heels are on sale (god bless u) Haha. Here he's wearing a simple ripped black tee paired 
with dark colored denims. Effortless right? Rounded up with plain but major and significant 
accessories he's good to go.
