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?!

Inked

June 9, 2011 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

I am afraid of needles. So for me to overcome that fear, I have decided to get inked. Not in the near future, but definitely get inked. I see a lot of my friends already doing it (shoutout to Slice! Julie! Cha! Eo!) and I can’t do what they do. No half sleeves or near the ankle or back tats for me. I just want this one.

For me, it’s enough. This is enough. :)

Day 8: A bad habit

June 9, 2011June 9, 2011 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

I’m quite pleased to announce I have kicked this bad habit. And I’m quite happy to have a friend who’s willing to exhibit it for me for this day’s challenge, even though he’s already exerting efforts in quitting.

Thanks, Allan. :)

So the day’s challenge comes at a time when the Philippine government is trying to ban smoking in all public places. It’s quite sad since our President smokes, and some of our legislators too. I heard Chiz Escudero say that the law should also respect the personal space of smokers, not just the non-smokers. I think what he’s trying to say is, the law should not require everyone to just stop smoking because for some, it is a compulsion, if not an addiction that they’re still in the process getting rid of.

I quite agree with that. I mean, quitting smoking is quite hard. There is a component in cigarettes that makes it addictive to the user. And it’s really a process. Some people say just go cold turkey, but let’s admit it; some are made of harder stuff. So there. I like the designated smoking spaces rule. At least they’re just confined to one space and non-smokers will just have to avoid that area.

Anyway, good luck to quitting. You’ll notice the difference when you quit. :)

Day 2: What you’re wearing

June 2, 2011 / iamsupercarla / Leave a comment

I was supposed to take my photo before sleeping, but then again, my floor is a messy mess mess. I really don’t mind being a mess myself, I honestly think I perform better when I’m in the comfort of my own dirt (yaaaaak hahahaha) but I am so not prepared to show you the mess that is my room. So yeah, no mirror photos yet.

I knew I should have taken a photo when we were at the mall, Jaja.

But I was too busy making her fit clothes. Hahaha. Thanks to Anj for taking a photo of what I’m wearing today.

Or was.

I hope you’re doing your own photo challenge too. It’s not that I want to turn everyone into camwhores, but it is definitely something that can keep you on your toes, making sure that your artistic mind is still continuously functioning. :)

It’s never too late to join! Hop in. :)

Short is fun and flirty

May 30, 2011May 30, 2011 / iamsupercarla / 1 Comment

I believe summer is declared over in our lovely tropical country, especially after typhoons kept coming. According to reports today, the entire week will be gloomy and rainy because of the southwest winds building up. Or something like that. It’s hard to process weather news at 5 in the morning.

What I will miss about summer is the fact that this is the fifth (?) year that I did not miss the beach. Hahahaha. But seriously, we will have to bid adieu to short skirts as they were never really friendly with strong wind and rain.

I like short skirts in general and I think it’s mainly because I cannot wear them to work. My company is quite conservative about hemlines and let’s just say I’ve crossed the line way too many times (and I can only cross it so much). So there. I browsed around my favorite fashion community Chictopia for lovely lasses with their fun and flirty skirts.

Oh what I would give to be fun and flirty in the office too. :)
