Hello heat, you should have taken a long break

These boots and jeans have finally seen the light of day. I bought them both back in '09 and have refused to wear the boots because I have two left foot. I'm not sure if the boots are happier, or me. I succeeded in not inverting the heels and walking in them for 6 hours without a glitch.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been losing inspirations. It's the wicked warm weather. Actually, warm is an understatement. Or maybe it's time for a new hairstyle; at least that's something within my control. Might as well cop some cool crops to beat the heat. Any suggestions?

Like how this dress from Loui.G is cut to embrace me without compromising on comfort, or how the finishing on the zipper is a subtle complement to the dress.
The icing on the cake? I am obsessed with all things stark clinical white.

You think you're not lacking of something until it comes along and catches you off guard.
How could I not have had this piece all this while?

The irony.

Not so basic basics

New in t shirt.

I rarely wear t shirts. But this is such a perfect over the top basic.

I wore it here over a chiffon shirt with leatherette collar from TSR and H&M leather shorts.

Saying that I'm obsessed with Givenchy is an understatement.
I wish I could own the entire collection.

Back in the days when retail therapy was a brick and mortar experience, one would have assumed that hibernation would do your wallet good.

Well, I'm not sure if these days, hibernation actually works the same wonder.

My attempt to steer clear of all the retail temptation got the better of my online frenzy, as I welcome 3 special steps to my collection.

As I type, I'm still ecstatic with a purchase I made mere minutes ago.

Riccardo Tisci gave me a whole new obsession with panthers and iris I never knew existed in me.

People look at us strange, they try to change it

So I finally threw my procrastination out of the (salon) window and took a leap of faith.
Trust me when I say I teared a little when the stylist snipped off a long chunk of my locks. Yeah, I know. Cliche as it may sound.
I was still uncertain when I got back.

After 5 years of my mane caressing my arms; I was uninspired yet at the same time, anticipating something exciting.

And that calls for a change.

You know change is good when you start getting up on your feet to try new things.
