Through Thick and Thin

I have curves HAHAHHAHAH

I feel so thin here, my arms are not so huge haha

Awww menya menasitsimaba whatever hahaha

"HAPPY HAPPY SUPER DUPER HAPPY DAY" is how I describe this day. When I woke up, I greeted Mom, Happy Mother's Day, gave her a big bear hug and kiss on the cheek. After a few hours we headed to church to listen to a very sensitive issue in society, which is marriage. I felt a bit sleepy since you know, I'm not yet married but I have to say that I learned a lot, things that I can use when the right time comes. "Being faithful doesn't mean devoted already, so if you don't do that, you're miles away from that thing called devotion." is what got my attention, at the back of my mind, lol everybody should hear this, I'm tired of seeing people cheat and be cheated on. The next events went smooth, together with my siblings, parents, grandparents and aunt, we strolled down Bonifacio High Street to get to the place where we would have lunch. Something made me joyful, more than the food, it's the sight of my family, enjoying the company of each other and sharing the same dinner or should I say lunch table. It was just promising, I would love to do it over and over again. :)

Life is a Mess

Deadly studs

Today I attended to Mary Jo's iMove dance recital. The whole thing was okay, of course it's not perfect because of time pressure and most of them are kids. I enjoyed the dance students' performance the most, which Mary Jo's a part of. The concept was the 7 sins and how it pulls us away from God, it was touching, I somehow felt guilty especially in gluttony and sloth. I don't know, maybe I'll eat little starting now and be serious on exercising and also, make my life productive.

I tried my best to look casual, so you'll notice that it's lacking accessories, but I failed because when I was on my way home, I rode on the wrong jeep so I did some walking and everybody fixed their eyes on me for a moment. It was both flattering and awkward haha. Maybe they thought I was crazy or am hallucinating, thinking that I'm on a prestigious or a fashion related event hahaha.

P.S. I love how everything's coordinated to my blog title, the background: such a beautiful mess, my top: creatively messed, my death march: advantageous-to-the-body mess HAHA

Loosen Up

You can pretty much see how happy I am with this outfit

Oddness is Beauty

Shampoo model moment right there

The sun wasn't still up when Mom woke me up and I have to say that it's the earliest that I did. We brisk walked for maybe a kilometer and half then rode a taxi to Legazpi Sunday Market. It was worth visiting regularly, just be sure you have money on your bank account, haha. Some of the things on sale were costly because 1.The food is fresh and organic. 2. Most of the products were one of a kind.

I got clothes from the Sunday market, one of them is this harem pants, I instantly fell in love with it, it was one of those quite risky pieces. Obviously, I was excited to wear it, I wore it to church and when we watched The Avengers.

I just want to share this scripture that really made my faith stronger (this was part of this month's series, Know God's Will)- 1Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."

Artsy Fartsy

Audrey Hepburn wall canvass

Chic small luggage

Fashion and arts book

Yesterday, my mom and siblings went out to buy groceries, I was left at home waiting for them and for tons of food. It was a surprise that when they got home, they have with them big boxes and heavy plastic bags. Mom told me to check those and I opened the box first, the small luggage inside made me squeak. When my little sister handed me the Audrey Hepburn canvass I was like "aghhhh!" 'cause I wanted a pop art canvass so bad which I saw weeks ago in the department store. Lastly are the books, it was so overwhelming! They're so weighty haha and with every page I turned my jaws dropped, it's just full of art, full of inspirations. 

Realization with that experience, you get lots of interesting things when you don't go with your Mom and siblings in the grocery haha but next time I'll come so that I might get clothes, I'm really in need of minimalist and detailed clothes for the look posts haha :D

Below are scans from the lightest book, Fashion illustration. I didn't risk scanning pages from the other books 'cause the scanner might broke, I know you're not suppose to put a lot of weight on it haha. So enjoy these pictures!

Bianca in Wonderland

A breath-taking work of art in the fashion design part

Can't wait for this to be made!

Elegante (read with a Spanish accent)

I really really really admire the geometry present in that poncho-ish coat

Spot the difference

This ensemble will be full of movements when this comes to life

I've been pleading to my mom to buy me a sewing machine but then I'm still clueless when it comes to sewing so she enrolled me in Slim's. I'm extremely happy and thankful for what my mom did, this kind of opportunity doesn't come often. I started the lessons yesterday, and a bodice sloper was accomplished, and I admit it, I was quite proud hehe and am so happy with my attitude towards it.

It was such a beautiful environment, complete with materials, good ventilation, approachable teachers, but most of all, I am surrounded by people who have talent and are as passionate to fashion as me, well some are more passionate hehe and wow the way they dress, it's just such an artsy environment.

4 months are consumed for the preparatory to be finished and obviously, I can't squeeze it to my summer vacation so I'll be going to Slim's everyday this vacation then every Saturday when school starts. Considering that I only started yesterday, there's still so much to learn and I can't wait for it! :)

I am the Walrus

The weather made me mad

The past few days were scorching, in fact, so scorching that it actually stings when the sunlight touches your skin but I guess it's a blessing, perfect time for beaching and tanning, and hey it could be worse, a wet summer haha. I opted for this The Beatles dress from Cubao expo, I love it so much, catchy print + sheer = a work of art.

Dress: Stoic

Necklace: Op shop
