PREPPY MONDAY

ELAINE STA.MARIA ( Buyer - Paul Smith, Fred Perry, Dotdotdot)

I love the idea of making a bold statement with her white Fred Perry canvas sneaks -especially when the rest of the outfit is neutral. Everything about Elaine is perfect!


January slowly slipped away from our frozen fingers as we fall deeper into the heat of summer and I am developing a deep emotional relationship with the canvas sneaks I saw earlier at Fred Perry. I tried them on (Thanks Elaine!) and wearing them is like putting your feet under a sleeping dog or into a pillow filled pillowcase.

VINTAGE CHIC - BINONDO STYLE

Fantastic fun vintage chic! The contrast of her quircky look with the more subdued background works perfectly.

BINONDO - MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. ( shooting spree)
September 15, 2007

Me and some friends decided to take a trip to Binondo via the Pasig River ferry with our Cameras. It was such a spur of the moment thing for all of us. Everything was so fun that we ended up eating a lot from dumplings to Oyster omelet at sincerity, ukay at Escolta ( Regina building) and ended up buying myself a vintage gray cardi and Elaine a Japanese (Kawa-i) inspired cotton striped shift dress for P50.00
