White on white is a very difficult outfit to wear. I know because there have been many times I have tried sporting this look and failed. Apparently, as with life, you can't help getting dirty or soiled at the end of the day. Circumstances make it almost impossible for us to remain clean and pure... in fashion, these may come in the form of accidentally grazing your outfit against a dirty pavement, spilling a beverage on your outfit or if you're really unlucky, accidentally blotting a pen on your clothes (and I think the common consensus on this is the stain of a pen is the hardest to remove on white clothing). In life, there are so many events and circumstances that we have to face which requires actually getting our hands dirty and I guess remaining untarnished and unstained is a privilege most of the population is granted (myself not included). However, I got to thinking and told myself, "what the heck," since we are all just winging it, I might as well try. I have always believed in the whole what you risk reveals what you value school of thought and I think I value learning very much so I decided to risk going white on white and go all in thus the outfit. It was a particular rainy day when I wore this (talk about wrong timing right?) but I was shocked to see that as the day ended, I was almost practically unscathed except for a few minor dust marks which could be easily erased... nothing permanent enough actually.

Oh baby, you're a classic like a little black dress
I always believed in the little black dress as a classic piece and staple in every girl's wardrobe. I can not stress that enough. Every girl needs to have one or two or three black dresses. The thing about the little black dress is that it is appropriate for every occasion...it all depends on how you style it and it is the single most appropriate and versatile thing anyone owns. It dates back from ages ago but the most iconic moment it was brought to life was when Audrey Hepburn made it is "the dress" from her movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. I watched it when I was 11 years ago and from then on, I learned and how I capitalized on it is probably one of the proudest things I have done in my blogging career out of it. The ways I have been able to wear the LBD from ten ways to Sunday established me, back when I started in 2007. The Little Black Dress, and trust me on it, is everything.

Fine China
Everyone always mistakes me for being either Japanese or Korean...save for some of my Chinese friends who actually assume I am Chinese and think I went to an all-girls Chinese school. I didn't and don't consider myself Chinese even if my paternal grandmother migrated from China and my dad is practically 50% Chinese, which makes me about 35%. I take up after my father in the looks department so I understand why this is a common assumption and some readers do comment that I actually look more Chinese than Domz who is actually 50% and I have to remind them, Dominique is a cross-breed and her German features are much more prominent in the looks department. As for me, I'm all Asian and apparently did not inherit any Spanish trait from my mother's side in the physical department...not that I am complaining... since I love how I look.

On The Outback

Safari Chic.
(Button Down Shirt: Zara | Shorts: Vintage | Shoes: Topshop | Bag: Cole Haan | Shades: Prada)
Casual and comfortable in earth tones for a day of errands out about the town. I must admit I was quite lazy to dress up this day and it shows through my outfit. I reckon I've been watching too much National Geographic/ Discovery Channel that it has subconsciously influenced my outfit choice for the day... (hello, Crocodile Hunter...meets Indiana Jones... meets Lumber Jack c/o my boots?) But I decided I wanted to be in a fuss free outfit which was why I let out the inner trooper out...it is after all, a jungle out there!

Candy in The Sun
TOUGH LOVE
(Blazer: Zara | Chiffon Top: Zara | Maxi Skirt: Glitterati | Bag: Louis Vuitton | Shoes: Zara | Accessories: + Ruckus & Extreme Finds | Sunnies: Prada)
Color blocking in orange and hot pink for a Tuesday afternoon-night rendezvous.
If you are what you wear, you better dress the part you want. A few lucky ladies can do no wrong. Their looks: perfection. And they've got accessories to match. But most girls get tired of the same old look. And they'll do anything to get the hot new piece on their arm. And then there are those with no vision of their own. Thieves of fashion who will steal the shirt off your back. And always remember, appearances can be deceiving. But whatever you wear, always dress to kill.
Christmas Shopping and gifted myself with two pretty Marc Jacobs Stam Bags!

Closer to the Edge
Abstract Print.
(Blazer: Zara | Tube Top: Zara | Pants: Love Vintage | Shoes: DAS | Bag: Louis Vuitton | Necklace: Ruckus | Bracelet: Extreme Finds | Sunglasses: Prada)
Early Saturday Morning shoot where I had to style so I decided to be as comfy as possible in what I would consider my "work" clothes. I adore these pants that I got from Lissa's brand- Love Vintage which is just amazing- the print, shape and fit are to die for. Accessorized with colorful pieces which were also part of the pants' color palette. Lastly, braved the Sunny Saturday elements in my Prada sunnies!
Been wearing my hair in a bun a lot lately! I badly need a haircut + color + styling soon!
