Burning Bridges


"Send this out to sea.  Send it where you want it. You can take it note for note and not at all. There’s no filling up your spaces with fictionary places...Imaginary faces they don’t work at all...I keep on running...I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted"

-Burning Bridges, One Republic

Burning Bridges. v. (idiomatic expression)-   One of the worst and also best experience... To burn a bridge is to break away from a person close to you, who you have consistently been on good terms and have had happy memories together. A simpler way: burning up your connections with someone important to you that has become toxic and no longer good for you. I've been wanting to discuss this and this entry was the perfect opportunity to do so...well, because, I am in a bridge. I know a lot of my entries have been revolving around conservative work wear recently because that is what I do and what I love doing. However, let's all take a break from that and have some fun. This is as far as it goes for edgy and rebellious for me. I look back at the days when I could get away with studded and grommet outfits and laugh because I am no longer at the age where I can pull all that off. However, I can do a cropped top, some printed trousers and a blazer with some streak of rocker chic via the hint of silver spikes at the shoulder area. It may be a mature piece- this black blazer- but at least it combines contemporary and classic all in one. I like pieces that are like that.

Codes and Keys








Sequin Overload.
(Dress: Glitterati | Shoes: DAS | Bag: Chanel)

Party party outfit as this what I wore to one of my first nights out of the year (Yes, I am not really that fond of clubbing anymore!) which was why this dress was on hold in my closet for almost over a year now. I figured the Holidays were the perfect time to shimmer and shine thus the 2nd (of many) posts in sequins. This was coincidentally my outfit for a fun night out with friends over at Republiq for a special event where Jermaine Dupri spun. Never really know how the clubbing atmosphere is anymore, being out of the circuit for seasons!

Pink is my favorite crayon





For my BFF Nina’s birthday bash, I decided to come in color (as she requested) and chose a pink bodycon dress I got from Tyler which had mesh detailing and these gorgeous Balenciaga-inspired knotted details. There’s always just something about pink that makes me so HAPPY and while I did go all out with matching shoes, I made sure to contrast the girly feel of the color with black and studs.







It was such a fun night out…no issues, no drama… and I had a blast hanging out with friends!

A Smidgen of Truth






Tanktop: Zara
Tube top: Zara
Skirt: Glitterati
Shoes: Soule Phenomenon
Purse: 2.55 Chanel Bag
Spiked Studded Headband: Glitterati
Dogtag necklace: Cuteture








Back to black and white. In the essence of fashion bipolarity, I went from a preppy look to a more rebellious one with a liquid lame skirt with sequin trim and oversized tankop. I edged it out this time because I wanted to wear my new shoes from Nicole, of Soule Phenomenon which are indeed PHENOMENAL. The heels are just absolute perfection and ultra-high...just the way I like it.
