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.

Tropical Punch


I am yearning for the sunny days that are now replaced by heavy rains and thunder booms and what better way to express my eternal love for summer than in what I am wearing? I did exactly just that and wore this pair of palm tree printed trousers which is my own little way of protest in praise of the sun. Of course...it rained but not even that can dampen my spirits which I have to say have been exuberant. I guess having a great support system in the form of a stable relationship with my family and a very select few friends empowers one to survive the rainstorms of life. And, while there is a possibility that there will be people who exist solely to rain on your parade, it's nice to know that the shelter that people who genuinely care for you and love you will provide will leave you damage-free and able to weather any storm.

Just My Luck









Sheer Delight.
(Shirt: Glitterati | Pants with zipper detail: Zara | Shoes: Michael Antonio | Bag: Fendi B-Bag | Necklaces: Piled on Cultus ChiChi floral necklaces | Bra: La Senza)


Wearing pants for once... Me in trousers is more of the exception than the rule but its refreshing to wear trousers every now and then as it is extremely comfortable and easy to move and maneuver in. I especially LOVE this pair with Zara which gives off an edgy twist with an amazing metallic zipper detail. Decided to glam up and keep the sophisticated vibe of the look going with a sheer top from my brand, Glitterati, which I also have in pink and I think already wore in white in this post:

What can I say? I am loving the whole sheer effect. I think it is way too much influence of Cher Horowitz in Clueless circa 1990s that's to blame for this whole "sheer" obsession. Either way, it was an amazing outfit for a fam-bam din-din + BFF night (where I had to change into a lace top, since I kinda destroyed my sheer blouse..) JUST MY LUCK!
