Today's Inspiration | A dose of pink

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

- Audrey Hepburn

The Unsaid Words

They were standing side by side. She gripped his wrists and turned to look at his face the last time.

Looking at his blue stony eyes, she engraved every detail. His jaw line, the high cheek bones, his dark curls and his eyes. Those eyes. Her heart hammered like rhythms of drums in a war.

"Good night.", she said softly.

"When you wake up, I will be beside you."

Eyes stared back, like it was piercing at her soul.
"Say something. Tell me, tell me now. What if we don't have time...", her brain pleaded through those eyes.

He did not move, did not say anything but she felt his grip tightened. Her pulsed danced faster.

"I love you."

More seconds into those eyes, she turned to the plane waiting for her, removed her hand from his grip and walked away.

Commuter Street Style

A work week lies ahead and Monday should not be thought as the beginning of stress.

I'm a commuter and I travel from South to North! Almost, well I ride the MRT from the first station  (Taft Avenue) to the last station, North Avenue. From there, Im only one ride away from work.

I dont find commuting a hassle, though it's tiring yes. I read while on the way and sometimes observing the streets is entertaining as well. When I look out the window and see different people, some going to work, others are sitting in front of their houses, children running.. I think, what if I was there? What if I live in that place?

I also admire some people I see, the way they dress, their styles. So, when I arrive at home or at the office, I have all these thoughts and I turn them into inspiration.

 Speaking of street style, one of the models I admire is Freja Beha Erichsen. Her staples are graphic tees, biker jackets and boots. And yes, lots of black.

My favorite look! Rock and roll chic! 

In leather jeans

Street Style Beuty

In denim

Brushed hair

After Celine S/S 2010

All black outfit is one of my favorite looks. I'll take Freja for an Inspiration. <3

Today's Inspiration | Moroccan Blues

Chefchaouen, Morocco | The Blue City.

Great read about Chefchaouen from an article by Lonely Planet

Chefchaouen's powder-blue buildings mirror the cloudless Moroccan sky - but religious rather than stylistic reasons are behind the design choice. Jewish teachings suggest that by dyeing thread with tekhelel (an ancient natural dye) and weaving it into prayer shawls, people would be reminded of God’s power. The memory of this tradition lives on in the regularly repainted blue buildings. - lonelyplanet.com

Chefchaouen - pronounced shef-sha-wen

"Some travelers describe the blue town as the most relaxing town in the entire country of Morocco." - Reversehomesickness blog

Fashion editorials and runway looks that are beautifully colored blue, they remind me of The Blue Town.

Loved and Wanted! | Givenchy Antigona Bag

I would like a bag which you can wear to work, to shopping with girlfriends and even to a concert.

The Givenchy Antagona bag would just be it! It's available on different colors. Check out this Spotted Fashion article for different colors and styles.

I would choose of course, the classic black, the gray snakeskin style and oh yes pink!

 Olivia Palermo's take on the black-croc Antigona bag!

The Givenchy Antigona bag is available in online stores. It's pricey, about 2,000 USD. If you want it, then get it. It's an all-around bag, very versatile.It's simple and that makes it very stylish. I actually  lust for this!

I remembered this line from The Devil Wears Prada.

Nate: Why do women need so many bags?

Lilly: Shut up.

Nate: You have one. You put all your junk in it, and that's it. You're done.

Doug: Fashion is not about utility. An accessory is merely a piece of iconography used to express individual identity.

Lilly: Oh! And it's pretty.

Doug: That too.
