Coals are hot to walk across without your shoes


wearing random cut offs, vintage blouse, SM dept store belt, customized thrifted blazer

So, since I am now walking on asphalt more than sand, I figured I might as well get into the groove of posting more outfits. A quick and hasty last minute setup of the tripod resulted in a mediocre shot of what I am wearing, but I'm too tired to complain. After hours of putting things together for a fashion show on Saturday, I am just glad I finally was able to fill my tummy with something other than a sliced muffin and that I finally got my prepaid Internet thing to work. To anyone out there curious about such services: Globe Tattoo kicks Smartbro's ass. The end.

All the comments about my hair made me giggle.. the truth is, I have awfully damaged hair. The dyeing + sun + saltwater has not done it any good, but I over condition it religiously. Whenever possible, I wash my hair at night and then leave some heavy conditioner on and wash it out when I wake up. I also try to wash my hair only 2x a week.. In between I use baby powder to control greasiness by the roots and I am currently looking for a dry shampoo.

I didn't style my hair much in the previous post - the bangs were blow dried during the cutting and the rest was cut and air dried. But if you have straight locks and want to give it a bit of a wave, slick on some leave in conditioner and put it in a really tight braid for a few hours. French braid if you want big hair.
For today, I ironed my hair close to the roots and left the ends in naturally bouncy waves for a more toned down look ;)

I hope that was somewhat helpful!

For all those in Cebu.. please come out to Ayala for the opening of Active Zone on Saturday at 5pm, I am styling the fashion show and its hosted by Marc Nelson and Mikee Cojuanco.
Lots of love from me and my tired feet! x

I love your outfit, I wish it was hot enough to wear shorts here, but it's not really sensible to wear shorts in the snow!

Oh, and my hair is awful too, I do an olive oil deep condition once a week and it helps a little.

All the best for your fashion show!

Your hair looks in great condition! Love the cut off denim, too - such a classic look with the white shirt.

you're in the city now? yey!

i like the blazer and the ripped shorts combo. You look super cool dane.

talaga? niiwan mo yung conditioner sa buhok mo? is it okay? ako i wash my hair everyday, trice a week lang conditioner cos i have very oily scalp. Go to The FAce Shop, marami silang choices for shampoo there. You might find one that will work for you.
