(Do you know how tired your fingers can get from all that endless scrolling on Modcloth's website? SO...

Dress of the Day – bebe Lara Nautical Stripe Midi Dress Thanks for stopping by! I might have mentioned once or twice how much of a sucker I am for all things striped and nautical inspired?

Death by Platforms: Velvety Blue(Striped Sweater: Zara// Cardigan: Giordano// Shorts: Pinkaholic Fashion Shoppe// Pumps: Feet For A Queen// Clutch: Topshop// Ring: SM Accessories) Here's the blue version of the velvet shorts I wore in this POST.

Evie Nautical Stripe Peep Toe Pumps by J CrewIn the past I have shy away from having anything striped based in high heels in my shoe collection. Even if I have been a victim of an impulsive buy on anything stripe in the past, I usually stick to flats or wedge heel sandals. But these chic peep-toe with nautical tone is trying to make me...

On Trend: Nautical Stripes stripes signal the arrival of warm summer days. It seems like every year, when summer rolls around, stripes in all shapes and forms reappear.

Death by Platforms: Sheer & Striped Loving the semi-sheer look of the top but I'm not a fan of the material as it easily unravels when something sharp gets in contact with it. These photos have been patiently squatting in my flash drive for over 2 months now. Told you I had a lot of backlog posts. In other news, I will be...

Death by Platforms: Grocery Shopping These "Lloyda" mary jane platforms from Gold Dotare just the cutest pair of wedges! The wooden heel is definitely something else. P.P.S. Every time you see me wear my beanie, it only means that I'm too lazy to style my hair (which is almost every day). Haha! Hope you guys enjoyed the long...

Death by Platforms: Black & Taupe Thank goodness I can rely on my magical platforms to save a boring-outfit-day.

Death by Platforms: HK Loot The items in the first three photos are all from H&M (I told you I spent most of my time in H&M! Haha!) and the bucket bag is a cheap find which I got for only 50HKD (roughly Php 300). I did buy some shoes (will show them to you guys soon) but I restrained myself and only got three pairs. I...

Death by Platforms: Fringe & Braids Yes, I wore my beloved wide-leg pants (from the Nautical Stripes post) again. They're just so darn easy to wear and are extremely comfortable. I also can't get enough of the fringe details of this lovely two-toned jacket from Coexist..such a good buy. I was supposed to wear my hair in...

Death by Platforms: Penshoppe's Summer Collection Personally, I think the green jersey halter dress would look divine with a golden tan and some hot, gold jewelry.

Death by Platforms: She Wolf For a no-fuss, 5-minutes-to-style grunge look, just go with a cropped tee or an over-sized shirt, some platform boots, leather or denim shorts and a ratty hat worn with dry, messy hair. Haha! P.S. I still have a few backlog outfit posts from when my hair was still darker so I apologize if...

Death by Platforms: Florals & Greens What makes these pumps really special, aside from its gorgeous leafy shade, is the complementing metallic leopard print at the back of the shoe and on the platform. While I've mentioned before that I'm not really a big fan of stiletto heels, there's just something alluring about a pair of...

Death by Platforms: Fluoro Besides, I only got the skirt for Php200 (well, I only paid P200 because I had a P1,000 gift certificate) so I don't think I even have the right to complain. And I think the ribcage necklace did a sweet job offsetting this too-sweet-for-candy look a bit. Oh, one thing I really enjoy about...

Death by Platforms: Blush Midi I'm not so much into "frilly & giddy" pieces but this tulle midi skirt, in the prettiest blush hue, is an exception. Wore this skirt to an afternoon stroll in the fields, with the beautiful afternoon sun gleaming on my face.

Death by Platforms: Christmas Shimmer For Christmas Day, I decided to go for an easy look with a striped knit top and a shimmery tulip skirt. This top from Zara is really simple but I love the black detail on the side..the design reminds me somehow of Proenza Schouler's SS '10 scuba tops. Spent Christmas with my whole family from...

Death by Platforms: Winter Is Coming... In other news, I've recently developed a fondness for platform pumps. As I much as I hate to admit it, pumps bring out the girly, saccharine side of me and it's nice to act like a "real lady" from time to time (whatever that means!). I'm completely loving this snakeskin print pumps that the...

Death by Platforms: Shoe Fetish Aside from the boots, I also got myself a pair of chunky peeptoe platforms. They remind me of the shoes from Prada and Steve Madden. Ordered these shoes, plus a pair of Jeffrey Campbell "Busted" (yay for platform creepers!) from Feet For A Queen. On a slightly different note (but still...

Death by Platforms: Dressed Downfeet-savers, especially for those occasions wherein you just have to give your lovely footsies a rest from those too beautiful yet painful (well, a bit) platforms.
