Fake Out

I am absolutely loving the whole preppy x slouchy look! I'm currently on the hunt for the slouchiest knits and the preppiest (is that even a word?) oxford button-ups! I don't care if summer's coming up, I want to wear this. It might be good that I'm coveting this look now too since all the knits are on sale.

Where I've Been

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been updating the blog lately (I know, slap on the hand for me!)

In all fairness, I HAVE been blogging, just not here. Wanna know where?

Catch up with me at Claire's cause I'm one of their February Style Bloggers! :D

Editorial: Frida Gustavsson by Andreas Sjodin for Elle Sweden

Before anything else, let me just tell you how right now, I'm technically blogging for two. The first is for my personal blog, samalamode, and the second one is for Claire's as a Style Blogger. My posts won't be up 'til February, but definitely head on there and check them out! Basically I'm telling you this because for the next month, I might not be able to update as often. That's all.

Onward!

How in love are you with the styling of this editorial? It's crazy, and maybe not even that pretty, but it works. The makeup's not necessarily my favorite but Friday Gustavsson is working the hell out of it. And the clashing of items plus the wild hairdos definitely call out attention. Talk about fashion victim!

Haul + jewelry + BIG NEWS!

Some bracelets from my upcoming jewelry line

I would like to apologize to all my readers for being a bad blogger. As most of you may know, I'm about to launch my own jewelry line, which means that most of the places I've been going to have been the marketplaces (for materials and such). Also, when I'm here, I really enjoy going to these marketplaces because not only are they cheaper, but they have such unique items that are only found in the Philippines. 

Since it's marketplaces I've been going to, I don't want to bring my camera and start taking pictures because I don't want them to think I'm a tourist (I did grow up here after all) and hike up the prices. So I hope everyone understands the lack of pictures.

But that doesn't mean that I don't have ANY pictures! Here's my haul so far (sans my materials which is going to take up an entire suitcase) and some more pieces from my upcoming jewelry line + the big news under the cut!
