50 Shades of Black and Gray (OOTD)

Today we went to the Church. And I made the mistake of washing all my shoes (aka vans, converse and keds) yesterday, so today I was faced with the problem of what to wear because I dont have any sneakers to use. So I went out of my usual T-Shirt-Skinny Jeans-Sneakers combo and wore something I dont usually wear because its not really my style (but I do love dressing up sometimes).

Coordinates: Gray Long Sleeves Top (thrifted), Black Skorts (mall), Black Oxford (mall), Small Black Chain Messenger Bag (gift)

This outfit is too girly for me, and I dont ear cutesy stuffs daily because I feel like it takes too much time to prepare the outfits to wear and accessories to match and etcetera. But I will plead guilty of browsing outfits online. Haha. I love looking at fashion posts especially on Tumblr, Instagram and WeHeartIt.

Ive had this gray top for years already and surprisingly it still fits me. I got it at a thrift shop for $1. I really liked the ribbon style collar on this top. The black skort was a sale item, only $2 yay! Ive always wanted a skort because it looks really pretty. Sadly I dont think I have the height to wear such outfits lol.

Ze camera does not do justice on my outfit :( I also used this chain body bag that my aunt from Australia gave me. Its quite small, and can only fit a few necessities like mobile phones, money, cards and keys.

Here's a closeup shot of the bag. Ribbons! I love bows and this one is so cute. Too bad its just a small bag though.

Ribbon detail on the bag :3

And here is one on my shoes. Haha. Actually these were color gray, but I hand painted it black because I feel like black is a prettier color, plus it would be easier to match it with any outfits.

The weather was pretty warm earlier, but as Im typing this post as of now its raining hard. The weather is really so bipolar these months. One of the reasons why Im too lazy to dress up because I dont know what weather we will have in the next few hours haha.

Hold on Till May

Time flies by so fast. And before I knew it, April is over. May is here. I am now left with more or less a month or two of summer and then the rainy season will take over. 

I am trying to focus and put together posts, but until then, here's a peek of what has been happening to my life via my instagram posts :)

P.S. selca overload haha

Also, I might be moving to Australia. Soon? Im not so sure but I am hoping it will push through. There's so much paper works to do and stuff but I am excited. I am really crossing my fingers on this. Here's to hoping :)

Hello, New Year

Well its not really New Year today, but we are celebrating Chinese New Year this year which is the year of the Snake. I am a Snake lol and I hope that I will be lucky this year haha. I dont even know the exact date for CNY but I do know its somewhere February. Anyways this will just be a short post as I am trying to blog from my tablet (yeah I bought one haha). Its really weird but I'll get used to this, hopefully. And so, before I end this post I'd like to greet everyone a happy Chinese New Year :)

P.S. can you suggest an app for blogging on android tablets? I've tried searching something for blobgger but didn't find any though..

P.P.S.
Let me share to you some photos that I took using the front cam of my tablet. HAHA :P Bored >_<

Are you a Book Lover?

Ever since I was young, I have always been a reader of books. Regardless of how thin or thick, big or small it is, I would always love to read a book. As I grew older, I have started to become aware of the different book genre, and now I have narrowed down my favorites to YA Books, Horror and Suspense, Romance, Romance-Comedy and Chic lit as the usual books that I read.

Here in my place, its hard to buy a book. Not only is it expensive, but most of the books that I want to read are available in the US/Canada only, and if I'd have them shipped, it would double the cost. And so I was so happy when e-books were introduced. Now I can finally read them on the computer. And through the time technology has evolved, and now reading books has become so easy with e-book readers and smartphones and tablets.

But even though e-books are becoming more and more popular and many chooses them because they are more convenient and cheaper, hard copies and paperbacks will always be the best. For me, I would love to turn the pages of actual books that I am reading, and the feel of the book gives me satisfaction too. It is really different when you are reading paperbacks and e-books. The only negative thing about hardcopies is that they are more expensive. But if you know how to look for cheaper books, then it won't be a problem. Today, many online book stores sell both e-book and hard copies. Amazon and Goodreads are two of the most popular online shopping place for books. Most shops also sell discount textbooks, so if you are buying a book for school, then you don't have to worry about its price.

I have always wanted to build up my own mini library. And with the help of the books that I have bought at cheaper prices, as well as ones that I get from the authors themselves, I am now slowly building my own library of books. And while it may take time for me to completely fill my shelf, I am just happy and contented looking at my book collection.

OOTD: Thesis Defense

Today I had my Thesis Proposal Defense and it requires a business like or casual attire. If you have noticed, Im not so into stuffs like this and I really don't know what to wear, so I always end up picking up pieces on the very last minute.

 What I wore.

 

My stockings and flat shoes

A close up of my outfit. Both are thrifted btw :)

I'm wearing a blazer which I made into a blouse like attire. Its thrifted btw ;P haha. I wore a spaghetti tank top inside since the blazer has a very low neckline. For the skirt, it was supposed to be on the hips, but since Im wearing a blazer turned top, I decided to place the skirt a little higher than where it should be. Makes sense? I also wore a black stocking and a flat shoes since I’m not used to wearing heels.

I'm no fashion guru or something so forgive me if I mismatched the outfit. I'm just wearing it for comfort :)
