Silly silver lining

/ iamsupercarla / 3 Comments

It has been a pretty long while since I last featured Chictiopians here in my blog, and to be honest, I really like them.  I don’t know, maybe because their style is so practical and most of it, I can actually pull off without having to expand my closet too much.

Plus there are those recession queens that just find the most adorable pieces.  I wish I can go to more ukay/vintage/thrift shopping.  I think when I’ve trimmed down my paperwork by half, I can finally make way for those trips.  Besides, my friend Ranna loves thrift shopping too.

No specific theme for today.  I just browsed the gallery and made a mental note that I should be able to wear something like this in the near future.  A girl can dream right?

For one, I love her red curly hair.  It pains me most of the time, that I cannot make such drastic changes to fit my weird likings.  It’s almost unfortunate because these curls look so natural; impossible to achieve in a salon or in front of a mirror at home.  And that bow just made me fall for this look so much!  And that bag — ah.  I love the entire look — vintage and romantic.  Find more of Aminta’s stuff here.

La Mer Watches <3

/ iamsupercarla / 6 Comments

I saw these wrap watches some time last year and I immediately fell in love with them.  I wonder where I can find these here in the Philippines.

Each watch is hand assembled so it will take about 7 days to be shipped to your US address.  I wonder if Johnny Air can have this sent to my house.  It’s just so divine!

I first fell in love with this item. Come on! It has to be one of the most adorable beach watches I have ever seen for a very long time!

It comes in so many colors too!  Also, there are different chains for you to choose from.  It’s quite impossible for you to not find something you like.

          
There’s practically one for every personality imaginable and like I said, it’s quite impossible for a girl to not fall in love with these.

So to my loving family, here and abroad, I wouldn’t mind receiving this for July.  Because monthly gifts are sweeter!  Hahahahaha.  I’d like to get the…. Black Tea Party one, if not the Black Washed Leather Gun Metal Motorcycle Chain.  Just saying.  :)

Check out the entire La Mer Collection here!

Oh to be preppy!

One of my biggest frustrations in my styling life (as if) is the fact that I can’t seem to fit myself into prep.  Really.  Something about the school girl outfit is not really synching with my personality.  Maybe it’s my thunder thighs or the fact that my legs are obviously built to run or whatever.  I can’t seem to nail this look.  So I looked it up.  Hahahaha.

According to WikiHow:

Prep is someone who cares about their appearance enough to look good — but not so much that they are superficial. They are clean cut, conservative, classy and classical.

Conservative, I am not.  Classy, maybe on Sundays (MAYBE).  Classical… well, I like Canon in D.

But let’s face it:  since these girls and boys invaded our television sets, prep has once again made its way in the scene (though I believe I am featuring it here far too late).

I know I will only be featuring ladies' looks today, but come on. Who can resist posting Chuck Bass?

So once again, I’ve consulted the fashion minds of Chictopia and some from Pinterest.  I swear these two sites are soooo counterproductive but aaaargh.  It’s addicting.  Who wouldn’t be inspired with these?!  Really?!

All about HAIR

/ iamsupercarla / 1 Comment

I guess I’m writing this because I am so frustrated at the rate my hair is growing… which is slow.  ANNOYING.  I’ve been itching to have my hair in a fishtail braid, but because it’s too short STILL, I can’t seem to do anything with it but let it down.

I can not for the love of God figure out how this girl managed to pull off magenta hair! I've been dying for some hair color myself, but yeah, I lack the guts to just hop on a chair and just friggin' do it.

 

Quite impossible for me to have this hair, since I am eternally straight. Jaja said something about digital perming, and I can only trust Tony and Jackey to do that. But the money? Yeah. That I have to come up with on my own. But I have a sinking feeling that even after that perm, my hair will still be as straight as a board. :(

 

And of course, I have endlessly hated Zooey Deschanel for having the most perfect brown hair ever. EVER. Ugh.

 

And let us all blame this talented songstress for having perfected the tussled hair.

 

I read from Little Women that Jo’s hair is her one true beauty.  Of course, at the end, we learn that it’s not true, but it would hurt to have pretty hair!  It’s not that my hair is not pretty; I just wish it’s longer so I can do this:


And this:

 

GAAAAh.  Foine.  I’ll stop talking about hair now.

Back to work.
