Few months, actually.. more than a year had past and I'm still not done with this series. This is series is actually my savior at times that I don't have something to blog, which is happening right now. 

This blog series is a collection of photos I had for a feature in the AGORA Magazine, a non-profit online magazine dedicated to become a platform for up-and-coming Bikolano artists in the fields of Photography, Fashion, Beauty, Music, Literature, Film, Visual Arts such as Painting and Illustration, Theatre, Industrial and Interior Design and other fields of creativity.

I featured "segunda mano" clothes, also known as thrifted clothes or clothes from 'ukay-ukay,' of course, all coming from the place I grew up in, Bicol. I had 6 outfits for this feature, and this is just the third that I had blogged. (sorry)

I apologize for my hiatus! It's just that life is happening to me right now, and by life, I mean adult life. Which means getting a life, making your own money, feeding yourself, and basically, just fixing your sht. Which is haaaaard~ 

Also, living in another country away from home is hard. I don't want to write much drama, but lately, I've just been wanting to go out and work, make use of all of my time working and making money, rather than have an idle time that usually just makes me feel and realize that I'm away from home.

The struggle is real af. Can someone just send me the secret on how to adult? If you know a thing or have and idea on where I can find it, spare some love and leave it on the comment box below. Haha 

So where were we? Oh! The outfit, I was blogging about the outfit! hihi. 

So as what I've said earlier, I featured thrifted clothes in this series, and yes, head-to-toe!

For this outfit, I just spent just a little more that 600pesos, that's just about 13USD, including the shoes!

My inspiration for this ensemble is the 80s. I've always wanted to dress up like I'm from that decade. I think that's the most fashionable and colorful era the broke all the rules of being normal. Shoulder pads, neons and loud prints, ahhh~! Just a wonderful decade to be in for a fashion-lover like me. 

Here's a preview of my feature in the AGORA Magazine Volume II. If you want to view the whole magazine, just click here. And for the other outfits featured in the magazine that I had already blogged, you can see them all here.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Can't wait to have time for blogging again!

"Do you ever wonder if the stars shine out for you?

Float down, like autumn leaves

And hush now, close your eyes before the sleep

And you're miles away...

And yesterday, you were here with me."

- Autumn Leaves by Ed Sheeran

Can't get enough of autumn! Last weekend, I went out with some new found Japanese-Filipina friends and we decided to visit one of the famous parks around Tokyo, the Shinjuku Gyoen (新宿御苑). So glad that these new found friends are also into photo shoots, so yea! Thanks to them, I have something to blog today! Hihi.

It has always been my dream to experience autumn. See the trees turn yellow, orange and red. Kick off a pile of leaves. And throw them like a confetti.

This moment is full of happiness. I mean, can't you see how happy I am in this photo? Haha.

I am also liking the weather during the autumn season. A little cold, but a cozy sweater and a light jacket is already good for you to enjoy the coolness of the autumn air.

I was very excited to dress up for autumn that before I leave the Philippines, I really stacked my wardrobe with autumn colors. 

Like this blazer I'm wearing here. Wearing moss green during autumn is just perfect.

And oh! I'd just like to thank DressLink for sponsoring this adorbs cat bag! Such an eye-catcher and so perfect for me to show my for cats! ..or should I say it's purrrr-fect? *u*

Ahh~! I miss blogging outfit posts! Crossed fingers that I'll soon meet a photographer friend who would be willing to take my OOTDs in the future! Please hit me up if you know someone who do fun shoots here in Tokyo. Hihi. I hope you liked my outfit and these photos! Let me know your thoughts below? ♡

A quick outfit post just to make myself feel productive for the day! Because yesterday, I was having one of those days when you just feel like crap, thinking and worrying about the future, decisions in life and just a lot of things that you've just decided to lay down, watch countless episodes of your favorite TV show, fall asleep and not go take a shower until the evening. Yup. Happens to me sometimes too.

Wanted to share this, one of my OOTDs last weekend when we stayed at the Avenue Plaza Hotel to try their revamped menu (link here for that delish news!) and new offerings. 

I actually forgot to take photos of the outfit details, so here's a selfie I uploaded on Instagram showing my new fave necklace from Amethyst Superb! Yes people, I'm wearing corrective glasses now. HUHU
