Spontaneity

We found ourselves stuck in our dormitory room one afternoon until the elder sister thought of strolling outside. We decided to wear our matching vintage-inspired blazers which we both got at a thrift store for only one hundred pesos. Oh the wonders of ukay-ukay! ❤

Our friends often get amazed at how skilled we are in thrift shopping. It’s a matter of being really patient in treasure hunting even if it could get really chaotic and it’s in the way you carry yourself. We spend more on food than on clothes and that’s the major reason why we love thrift shops!

On Didi: head-to-toe thrifted

Just recently, I photographed my dearest friends after their yearbook creative shoot. As you might have read on our past blog posts, I am to graduate already this March. Oh how time really flies so fast. I make sure that my remaining months here in Ateneo de Naga are truly worthwhile and productive.

One of my inclinations is photography. Apart from being the subject in pictures often, I consider it an advantage to be skilled in taking them as well because by doing so, you get to see the intimate spaces of things, of people. Photos are very powerful – they amplify, convey, attract, seduce, entice, move, or even cause pain. To capture moments is simply amazing and it’s the major reason why I always try to be better at photography. To capture is like having the power of freezing time. 

The model is my friend Sandi who happens to be a jack of all trades, too. We’ve been friends since highschool and she’s one of the few people whom I truly trust; we can talk about just anything and she really gives the best advices. Go follow her blog – she is more than just a pretty face! 

What do you guys think about the photos? I would really appreciate healthy criticism. ☺

Love love,

Mr. and Mrs. V

The A-Fash‘s theme this week was vintage-inspired. It was the elder sister, Joyce, who actually suggested it and good thing the ladies agreed. By the way, yesterday was Frances and Flair’s second monthsary (LOL yes we celebrate it :D). It has been two beautiful months with each one of you our dear readers; let’s journey together even to old-age. Yes, we definitely desire to blog through the years. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have outfit posts with our respective future husbands and kids? That is, in the distant future. We utterly have no plans to be young mommas, you know. 😀

Scarf prints are making its comeback recently. It has become a summer wardrobe trend wherein its acme was still way back the 1950s-1960s. You see, trends just come and go then come back again so it’s not a must to always wear trendy clothes. You would step it up a notch if you invent and reinvent or better yet, be the trendsetter yourself. ☺
