BACK FROM THE ISLANDS

Back from the islands – still high from Jimmy Cliff and Joss Stone and yes, trying my best to get back on track at work.

(Trunks I brought with me from Faconnable and H&M)

Three more weeks before Semana Santa and I still haven’t planned anything (Baler maybe?). I’m trying to imagine myself getting on a plane for a week in Bali or the Italian Riviera, a cup of gelato and a plate of babi guling. Still imagining myself in a casita somewhere in the pacific, in my espadrilles,  linen shorts and cotton shirt. But again, it’s fun to daydream when you have the chance.

Sharing a couple of photos I took via Instagram.

BASIC MATTER 19 : THE CARDIGAN

I have been wearing my cardigans unbuttoned and would usually pair them with dark jeans or tailored shorts so they don’t have the old-man stigma.

Yesterday, out of extreme boredom, me and my sister Anika decided to hit Forever 21 – a wasteland of disposable fashion were quantity reigns high over quality.

I finally found a cardigan that fit me perfectly (No, it isn’t a lightweight merino from Barneys) – though am not really a big fan of the brand, I bought it anyway. It’s a simple cardigan with oval suede-like elbow patches from Heritage 1981 – Forever 21’s menswear line.

For only $20.90, I mean, I shouldn’t really be complaining. I have yet to wear it!
