Spikes and Safety Pins

image

I decided to publish this outfit post simply because it’s too hot here in the Philippines and I want you to feel the heat even more. Just kidding! I only have a few more backlog photos from my Los Angeles trip and I can’t wait to share them all with you. For now, here is what I wore to a tiring day of tripping at North Hollywood. As always, it was chilly and so I had to layer up with some leather.

It really is all in the details, isn’t it? My special safety pins-embellished top was made by the resourceful Ken of Helga and Luna. Who would have thought that such small pieces of one commonplace thing can make such a big impact? In addition to that, this Seriously Spiked iPhone case was hand sewn by yours truly. Pang-self defense ang peg! Haha!

Minty Fresh

First, I tried mint colored jeans. This day, I went for mint colored shorts. The calmness of sea foam green is a no fail formula to freshen things up. For me, it is the best color that soothes just like a shiatsu massage. Lovely, isn’t it?

Anchors Away!

From sailing stripes to ship anchors and wheels, sailor inspired icons are in all places these days. The nautical trend is currently making waves and so I settled to sail away with this seafaring stirred ensemble. Anchors Away!
