Death by Platforms: Velvet & Sequins

Death by Platforms: NEW IN: Shoes I think wearing platform boots all of the time just won't cut it. It's sale season once again, ladies! And I heard that the Topshop sale starts tomorrow! Have you gone sale-shopping yet? Let me know what your recent purchases are! :)

Death by Platforms: In Mochi Heaven They will be releasing three new mochi ice cream flavors: Rocky Road, Banoffee and Red Velvet & Cream Cheese. You shouldn't dare miss these!

Velvet & Sweet Pea Orange Blossom and Kashmir Rose Whipped Face & Body Frostings ~ scented body products-sized amounts of Velvet & Sweet Pea's Face & Body Frostings with me. Fancy body creams are everywhere these days, and it takes a little something extra to impress me, so I'm glad Trish put these products right into my hands. They definitely need to be felt and smelled to be appreciated...

Death by Platforms: Light & Airy Wore this to the DIVA Blogger's Camp yesterday. This event is probably one of the best (if not the best) events I've ever attended. I met a lot of new bloggers, chatted with old blogger friends and had an amazing time with all of them. Will do a heavy-photo post on the said event very...

Death by Platforms: Lazy Sunday Hence, there is really no reason to dress up fancy. A slouchy dress with flats for comfort will do. P.S. I can't remember the last time I wore gladiator flats. I'm actually beginning to have a fascination for it again. I'm on the lookout for tall ones that hit just below the knees.

Death by Platforms: Kingdom Animalia It stood out from the sea of leopard print pieces with its delicate color combination of peach & baby pink, its beautiful mix of leopard and floral print and its lightweight chiffon material. Took the print on print look further by pairing the robe with my Deanna wedges and snakeskin print...

Thermals & Sequins The whole sequin and frill overload is a bit much and actually it's often nice to go for something completely different and wear much more under-stated outfits and save the sequins for other occasions. But this time of year is perfect for stocking up on them because every single shop is...

Death by Platforms: Birthday Dinner And this is exactly the philosophy I observed when I celebrated my birthday last weekend. I just had a simple dinner with the boy and had a few drinks with friends last Saturday. Come Sunday, I spent lunch time with my family. No fancy parties. No flashy birthday outfit change. No lavish...

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: Mixed Prints A tacky palm-tree printed top paired with an undecipherable pair of animal-print shorts...yes, summer should be spent wearing quirky prints. Haha. P.S. The rainy season is here. Thank goodness. I've missed it. P.P.S. Let's all share our love for shoes at Shoephoria. Come FOLLOW ME HERE and...

Death by Platforms: Denim Blues (got two lippies from Lane Crawford), scouring for more items in H&M and staring at designer shoes (while feeling a pang for them at the same time, haha!). I definitely enjoyed our HK trip albeit it left me with sore calves and blistered feet. Planning to go back there soon with friends....

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

Death by Platforms: Ombre Sky(Suede Skirt, Cord Belt, Stone Ring: H&M // Cover Up worn as a top: Vanilla Label // Boots: Jeffrey Campbell // Sabertooth Tiger Ring: Unisex) It has become a hobby of mine recently to wait for the sun to set and then capture its beautiful ombre trail with the camera lens. On good days, I...

Death by Platforms: Do The Lennon Ha! See you all at the Blogger's United Bazaar on Friday. Hope typhoon Chedeng changes her mind and leaves the country ASAP! P.S. Let's all share our love for shoes at Shoephoria. Check out my shoe collection and FOLLOW ME, HERE.

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 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 braids on both sides but I only had one elastic with me. What a sucker. P.S. For those who are inquiring as to where to get the wide-leg pants,...

Death by Platforms: Aviation(Shoes: from HK // Pants: Mango // Leather Jacket: Topshop // Lace Top: from a bazaar // Crystal Ring: H&M // Lips: MAC Up The Amp) Another one of them lazy outfits. When I was putting this look together, I didn't meant for it to have an 'aviation' theme. I just grabbed whatever piece I...

Velvet & Sweet Pea Mojito Cologne & Black Cat ~ fragrance review created and sold by Velvet & Sweet Pea, the Kittylicious scents are blended exclusively from natural ingredients. I wish they had a little more tenacity — on me, Mojito fades away in two or three hours, while Black Cat lingers for three or four — but I've come to realize that longevity isn't...

Death by Platforms: Levitationthe Palawan experience is truly something I will stow in my memory bank forever. Anyhoo, here are some photos from Day 1, upon arrival at Busuanga Airport. We were greeted with lush greenery and a herd of cattle as we left the airport en route to Mommita's Place (where we stayed for 4 days)....

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: Rows Of Shoes wedges; Aldo wedges (Bottom Row, from l-r): Folded & Hung clogs; Jessica Simpson platforms; Gold Dot platforms; Asian Vogue wedges (Top Row, from l-r): Jeffrey Campbell Black/Taupe Lita and Leopard Lana; Folded & Hung canvass platforms (Bottom Row, from l-r): Soule Phenomenon Mary Jane...

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: Blush & Crimson It's a good thing that the colors on my bodycon dress worked well with the blush & crimson tones of the shoes. On a side note, I thought I'd already swore off bodycon dresses (there was a time in my life when almost every dress or top I amassed were bodycons) but the Missoni print on this...

Death by Platforms: Silver & Blue(Silver Top: Zara // Pants: Mango // Boots: Five by Five // Necklace: Parfois // Turban: courtesy of Yhansy // Blue & White Studded Bracelet: courtesy of Wear Mauve // Friendship Links Bracelet: courtesy of Extremefinds Co) I finally caved in to the lure of this silver top from Zara (after...

Death by Platforms: Saffron(Dress: H&M // Platforms: courtesy of Asian Vogue // Clutch: Topshop // Necklace: Parfois // Gold Barrel Ring & Sparrow Hand Harness: courtesy of PlusMinusTimesDivide // Belt: from HK) Meet my "happy" dress. Its gorgeous saffron color just makes me smile. Paired with my Chloe Sevigny x...

Death by Platforms: Sweet Treats Inside one of the boxes are 6 pieces of decadent Red Velvet cupcakes. To be honest, Red Velvet is my least favorite flavor for cakes (well, that and Banan too). I just don't like cheese mixed with anything sweet (and this includes cheess in puto or bibingka). But Sophie's Mom's Red Velvet...

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.

Black & Blue & Sequins all over* Cobalt blue sequin mini dress... originally from Modcloth {and purchased for NYE 2011, I think} you can find similar versions here in navy and here in black and/or gold and here in black and/or green * Vintage military peacoat {found at Melrose Flea Market about 15 years ago and remains a...

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: 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...
