So this morning, Bless, Trisha and I decided to use my macha green tea powder to make green tea milkshakes simply because we're all in freaking love with the thing. Green tea, I mean.<br />
<br />
I'll start things off with a simple recipe. When I mean simple, I mean it. It's just really simple.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 tbsp. of Macha green tea powder</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tbsp. of condensed milk</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 cup of milk</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and lots of ice </div>

Yeah. I'll be blogging first about the second day of my high school fair instead of the first day being the first I blog about because... I can.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before you guys get confused, let me explain the situation. Every year my high school (MCHS) holds this three-day fair that raises school funds and gives the students a three day break from anything academic. The catch? Each class has to run a booth/stall. This year my class got the sushi booth which was kind of okay but then I ended up getting sick of sushi and smelling like "fish and magic" as stated by my hippie friend, Tonia. And there's a concert that goes until midnight on the second day of the fair (which I've already blogged about <a href="http://thewaywardflowerchild.blogspot.com/2012/11/avenir-mchs-fair-concert.html">here</a>). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, being honest, I found the second day more interesting rather than the first because there wasn't any hassle to dress up in a costume (yes wearing costumes on the first day of the fair is tradition. and yeah I kinda go all out on my costumes but don't blame me it's super fun) or even pretty yourself. Well, unless you invited your crush or some shit to go with you to the fair then go ahead and pretty yourself up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Me being me, I didn't invite any boylaloo (or girlaloo for that matter) to go with me to the fair so I didn't dress up... "much". Well if you guys consider something akin to a cropped sweater and a chiffon skirt as dressing up then I must have one jacked up sense of dressing myself.<br />
<br />

I ended up just spending the day with my friends, promoting the sushi booth and obviously shopping until my wallet was 987,654,321 times lighter. I'll be posting a haul post soon after I post the pictures from days one & two of the fair.<br />
<br />
And that's basically what I love most about the fair, the stalls and new things you get to find and occasionally (translated: frequently) buy.<br />

Once again I will be posting next about FERAS Day 1 and a haul post of what I got from the school fair. Now here's a picture of me with Four Directions aka male teachers from my school who decided to form a band that was geographically acccurate (hence, the North, East, West and South shirts... featuring the point of Origin.)</div>

(OOTD)<span style="font-size: small;">As the title highly suggests, this blog post will be centered on one thing:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Game of Thrones.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aH85o3KpBLM/UCje0oTwahI/AAAAAAAAAxg/aiI3mFyzYbU/s1600/IMG_0351.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aH85o3KpBLM/UCje0oTwahI/AAAAAAAAAxg/aiI3mFyzYbU/s640/IMG_0351.JPG" width="640" /></a></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I know. I don't seem like the type to be into this kind of stuff because, hello! My brain only thinks of cotton candy clouds, strawberry sprinkled doughnuts and dancing gummy bears. Why would I let something as angsty and tragedic as Game of Thrones pervade that safe little comfort zone of mine?</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ladies and gentlemen, let us all blame the sadistic genius that is George Martin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Okay, I'll admit that I'm not entirely comfortable with what GoT has to offer such as murder and torture and blood. Whooboy I hate blood. Those kinds of things never sat well with me. But what I AM interested in is the political aspect of the show as well as its amazing set of characters. I mean, let's admit it. It's the characters (and well yeah the plot) that makes you tolerate all that morbidness of the show. Not that I'm hating on GoT but it's true. From the Starks to the Lannisters, they're all fascinating. Another great thing about GoT is how George Martin was able to visualize such a vivid setting as that of the world of GoT. I mean, WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Okay, geek talk aside, GoT is also very visually enticing. Props to HBO for making such a great show. I mean, just look at Daenerys and Drogo and Arya and heck even Joffrey. Their costumes and makeup really project what kind of characters they are and what their identities are and frankly, it's amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I've always had a penchant for costumery which would explain the very "dress up" OOTDs I've been posting... Which would be everything. Haha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So for this blog entry, I decided to do what GoT has done successfully and try to project one of my favorite character's...personality through my outfit for today. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you: Sansa Stark.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/8qkXJTqRgy0?version=3&hl=en_US"></param>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">GoT fans would probably think that I'm wrong in the head or that I haven't watched enough episodes as to choose Sansa Stark as one of my favorite characters. Well, I agree with both statements. The thing is, I love her because she has such amazing character development and I guess I feel more catharsis for her than any of the other characters. Yes even Jon Snow. But I heart him so much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sansa is in all senses, lady like, sophisticated, and just a tad bit silly. Silly as in your typical "spoiled brat omg a cute guy i want to marry" kind of silly. But she really does become more aware that life isn't perfect as the story progresses and as she's thrown into an abusive marriage with Joffrey (yous sonofagun) and frankly, I find it beautiful and sad.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Okay, so to project her femininity and sense of elegance in my outfit, I opted for a pastel palette with really muted colors such as grey and white and to show her femininity, I opted for pink (duh). For accessories, I had this really gigantic bow at the back of my head which you can't really see and a medieval like bangle. I added the pink ruffled necklace later on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So I got two pictures from my Tumblr account that would sort of embody my color scheme as well as set the mood for the whole outfit. I really wanted to project a sense of naivety as well and I'm not really sure if I did that well.</span></div>

(Casual take) (OOTD + life updates)<div style="text-align: justify;">Hey guys! I'm a freaking out a little bit today... just a little bit. Apparently tomorrow's the day of the first of a series of College Entrance Exams that I'm going to have to take and well, I'm nervous. I for one know that in the West, you all take your SATs. Well, here in my country, we take CETs which are college entrance exams wherein the applicants have to apply in the schools they want to study in and take an exam per school that will determine whether they will be admitted into the university or not. So you guys can pretty much see why I'm freaking out. My whole future is at stake here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, I'm blogging today to sort of calm myself as well as to update you guys and this blog. Once again, forgive me for my inconsistent updates. School's been really hectic as usual.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> So most of you may or may not have read my previous <a href="http://hollasailor.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-want-you-back-ootd.html">"Want U Back" inspired outfit post</a>. Well, looking back I thought that the outfit was really... formal per se so I decided to show you guys yet another outfit that I have concocted and wore, still inspired by Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" US version. <br />

Sorry for the blurry pictures. I was using a not automatic DLSR which I borrowed from my good friend Trisha so I wasn't able to tell whether the pictures were blurry or not.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Shirt: Islands Souvenirs (from Boracay| Skirt: I Love H81| Cotton Jacket: Kamiseta| Heels: CLN| </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Haha, I love my new nail polish colour. (#applegreenanyone?)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I really love this outfit. Especially because of the colors (nail polish included)! So to get this look, I'd advise you guys to get a sort of ombre orange shirt or something really orange with a really cool print. As for the skirt, it actually has black polka dots to complement the black writing on the shirt. You can't really see it in the picture but it's there. So that's really the key to getting a "Want U Back" look. PRINTS... and an undercut hairdo but you guys don't have to do that.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite that, I played it easy with my shoes, opting for a really basic white strapped heels with dark wood heels. Does it seem too painful to walk around in? Opt for flats or sandals that have solid colors and no designs. The barer the shoes, the better. Well, just for this outfit because you don't want to overdo it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Keep the accessories minimal but ginormous for an even better retro feel. For this outfit I used my tiger bangle and a round and chunky wooden bracelet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And remember, the best accessory for this outfit is a smile! And play it a little fierce like Cher herself.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FhUGDQU1seM/UBuyGWDUVbI/AAAAAAAAAu4/uhg9eFz2-pM/s1600/cher-want-u-back.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FhUGDQU1seM/UBuyGWDUVbI/AAAAAAAAAu4/uhg9eFz2-pM/s640/cher-want-u-back.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Aside from that long delayed outfit post, what are the updates updates updates on my life? Well, I've made it a priority from now on after I finish my entrance exams to fix this blog of mine. But before that, I needed to rearrange my physical space. Mainly, my bedroom.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">It's been really cluttered for a really long time but after reading lots of my mom's "lifestyle and home" magazines, I decided that I really did need to makeover my room.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">The result? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My room has never been this clean.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gip6OuxvWfY/UBuzlyuC6FI/AAAAAAAAAvA/DI16vBPcnKo/s1600/IMG_0401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gip6OuxvWfY/UBuzlyuC6FI/AAAAAAAAAvA/DI16vBPcnKo/s640/IMG_0401.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sTUct00p_Qw/UBuzxcDLJxI/AAAAAAAAAvM/N0i081xMEg0/s1600/IMG_0402.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sTUct00p_Qw/UBuzxcDLJxI/AAAAAAAAAvM/N0i081xMEg0/s640/IMG_0402.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"> The other half of my room still isn't done though. There's a corner stacked with junk that I have to sort out and I'm still saving money to get huge canvases to paint on and place on my wall. I love painting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div> Anywho, that's all for this post. Wish me luck for tomorrow and follow/comment/share my blog!<br />
<br />
Much love,<br />

Why? My classes have resumed once more and I no longer find enough time to take pictures and type articles for you guys, which I really am sorry for.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">School has been... hectic, nonetheless. My school adapted this new system and it's really draining. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So updates on my life? I'm taking up French classes and my electives class is fashion design. And my electives teacher and I have the same name. Only my name's spelled with a "C". (Hi Miss Korinne. I love your hair, btw!)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So this blog post isn't necessarily an outfit post or a critique or review of anything. It's just pictures of my Tumblr Archive during the month of May that would serve as some sort of inspiration board for me seeing that it's like an accurate representation of the creative processes of my brain. My brain thinks of Allison Harvard? Yes it does.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fqsm7esNoLk/UAQIapruw2I/AAAAAAAAAlQ/zc_gAjsp8v4/s1600/asdgsg.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fqsm7esNoLk/UAQIapruw2I/AAAAAAAAAlQ/zc_gAjsp8v4/s640/asdgsg.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So I'm sorry if I couldn't share anything more with you guys seeing how my schedule is BOOKED. Especially with all these upcoming college entrance tests! Gosh. So I have to set my priorities straight and getting into the college I want is at the top of my priority list. (#ADMU)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's all for now guys, but I really hope you understand my plight, dear readers. Much love! <3</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WF0J3H9eYI4/T870DpJlF9I/AAAAAAAAAdM/FX_O3TPbosg/s1600/youthheader.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WF0J3H9eYI4/T870DpJlF9I/AAAAAAAAAdM/FX_O3TPbosg/s640/youthheader.png" width="480" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vMCbcWu-xbE/T88EEG8g-hI/AAAAAAAAAdw/ZpLnkhIysAc/s1600/youth2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/WdO85Qf4Poc" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I first found out about "The Naked and Famous" when my friends Bless and Mia came over at my house for a sleepover that never pushed through. Young Blood was the first song I've ever heard from TNAF and needless to say, I loved it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So that's pretty much my inspiration for my outfit for today. I have to admit, the song really didn't strike me at first because I really couldn't understand what the singer was saying (lol i'm sorry tnaf fans.) but after I read the <a href="http://www.lyricsreg.com/lyrics/the+naked+and+famous/Young+Blood/">lyrics</a> on the internet, I definitely was hooked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The lyrics of the song talk about, obviously, the shenanigans as well as the mindset of the youth today. The songs describes perfectly how most of us are just wandering individuals looking for some sort of purpose as seen in the lines "The motive changes like the wind/ hard to control when it begins" as well as "Trying to find the in-between."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But the lyric that struck me the most was "Can't help myself but count the flaws." Which is a truth entirely. We've all gone or still going through some sort of "God-I-hate-myself" phase. <a href="http://hollasailor.blogspot.com/2012/02/ive-been-hibernating.html">Even I have.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"Young Blood" is such an inspiration. I've used it as a main idea in most of my art and I still am. So I decided to use it as the main inspiration for my outfit for today. Which I may or may not wear when I go laser-tagging with my friends tomorrow (well, I probably will).</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So yeah, I pretty much had to stand up on a chair for you guys to stop myself from having to hold up my shoes to the camera just so that you guys can see it. And, I'm terribly sorry if I couldn't remember from which country I got the headpiece from. My parents bought it for me when I was five or six years old and it's just now that it could actually fit my head. Hahaw.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">For my make up I wanted something a little... fierce? Thus the heavy eyeliner. The lipstick was an on the spot decision though! I was supposed to use a lighter and pink shade but oh well. I bought the NYX lipstick last December with my friends Grasha and Caren and buying it was an on the spot decision as well :)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I've gone through a TON of tribulations with this girl that sometimes I look back and replay all the drama we've caused and found ourselves in (i'm not sharing anything). Despite that, I have no qualms about meeting her and she has proved to become someone who I can trust wholeheartedly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm a bit dramatic am I not? :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Aside from being such an inspiring person, she also has a very excellent taste in art and music. So a normal thing that we do is send one another links of music videos and songs that we like or see on YouTube and most of the videos she sends me all have this ethereal feeling to them. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Aren't they all such visual and musical candy?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes they are.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So what I did to piece this together was to get the general mood of the videos and try to project that in my outfit. The general atmosphere is definitely "dreamy" as my friend would say so as well as floaty and whimsical. The colour palette mainly consists of neutral colors as well pale and light ones with a touch of warm colors here and there.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Blouse, BAYO| Shoes, Steve Madden| </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And what's funny is that I bought that skirt with my friend so I decided that exhibiting it for the first time in a blog post dedicated to her was just the right time to show it to you guys. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I bought this in this sale that the college part of the school I go to was having. I was actually planning to buy this pale pink blouse that I had my eye on the day before I bought this skirt but then someone had purchased it ahead of me. DON'T YOU GUYS JUST FIND THAT FRUSTRATING?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So out of my unbridled shopping frustration, I bought this skirt which was 200 pesos more expensive than the blouse I had wanted to purchase. The lesson? It's healthy to go rage shopping only if you want your whole week's allowance to go down the drain.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So Bless, here's meddling with the supernatural, breaking the status quo and rolling in grass and dirt as well as watering it. Happy almost one year of friendship! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes, I'll admit it, I'm a "brat". But no not a spoiled brat or anything. I'm a Cher kind of brat. Simply put, I'm a Cher Lloyd fan which I find totally weird because I grew up listening to 'The Marvelettes' and 'Swing Out Sisters' and Tony Bennet. To simply find myself taking a liking to a rising mainstream pop icon, it's weird for me (but yes I also do like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and One Direction but that's about it). But Cher is absolutely different from the popstars we have now in the music industry. She takes her music up to a whole new level and her album is just, amazing. Recommended songs? Over The Moon, Superhero and Dub On Track (she sings along to dubstep. how nifty is that?)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But it's not just Cher's music that attracted me to her, it's also her fashion sense. It's un-bee-lee-vah-ble. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So this outfit post is pretty much inspired by her recent music video: 'Want U Back' (US Version).</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iptqPUmU1Mc/T7MEluxaxvI/AAAAAAAAATA/f8QOl5i33n8/s1600/Want+U+Back.m4v_thumbs_%5B2012.05.02_23.38.29%5D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iptqPUmU1Mc/T7MEluxaxvI/AAAAAAAAATA/f8QOl5i33n8/s400/Want+U+Back.m4v_thumbs_%5B2012.05.02_23.38.29%5D.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I love-love-love the music video. It's such a beautiful homage to the 80's and it's so colorful and loud and visually appealing that it leaves me so inspired. I swearsz. After watching the music video, I started looking for retro-themed pieces and orange blouses.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">For my outfit, I took the key elements from Cher's outfit, mainly the orange printed blouse and the vibrant blue as well as her leather shorts and her undercut styled hair, her pinkish-red lips and came up with a more formal and classic looking outfit.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I got my blouse while I was shopping with my mom, sister and grandma (a girls' day out I suppose.) and we stopped by one of my favorite local stores, BAYO, and on one of the mannequins I saw the beautiful orange blouse that had such a beautiful cream collar. It's print contrasted the base color of the fabric so amazingly that I knew it was the staple piece I was looking for. Nonetheless, I bought it. Sometimes I swear these things happen by fate. (trust and pixie dust? no? okay.)</span></div>

School's been really hectic but it's summer now so I'm freeeee!</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Anyway, I just had my prom last February and it's honestly a unique experience. It wasn't really THAT amazing and it's really not as awesome as it's worked up to be but it was pretty fine. I don't know, maybe that's just me. But I mostly blame the fact that I am a socially constipated fifteen year old whose love life has died over and over again from pining after British pop stars... okay, maybe I'm overreacting. I'd like to clarify that my social life is normal, thank you very much. I'm not letting you guys think I'm gonna grow up becoming a lonely cat lady. That ain't how I roooll. But what I can say about my very first and probably only prom experience is that it was fun... I guess?</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So anyway my date and me were set up by my mom and her best friend because my mom insisted that I needed to bring a date seeing that it was "a once in a lifetime experience", which is true actually but I like pretending that it isn't cause I really wanted to go stag. That and all the guys I know are douches and live far far away from me. But my date, named Gio, turned out to be a really cool guy who's into basketball and really nice music and is really, really tall. HI, GIO. (lol he'll never read this blog. i'll never let hiiiiim.)</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The prom itself was okay. The food was good, the music was horrible, I don't get why they made us have a grand entrance that played tacky game show music at the background, BUT THE DESERT WAS AMAZAZING. AMAY-ZA-ZING.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you're wondering if I slow danced, I did. No more questions.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So after the prom I was so tired that my date just brought me home. Haha, sorry, Gio.

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So me being the fashion illustration obsessed freak I am, I designed my prom gown. It was actually very easy to come up with designs for my gown because the theme was something that I had ample knowledge about. What was the theme of our lovely-lovely prom, you may ask? VINTAGE VICTORIAN! So I Googled Victorian gowns as well as 1920's dresses and Audrey Hepburn gowns. After doing so much research, I came up with this design that was basically a full peach colored sheer gown (with a beige lining underneath) with a short trail and a beaded collar as well a thin beaded belt. The bottom part of the dress was very reminiscent of a waterfall skirt; something that's really in now, so the gown sort of gives off a "vintage meets 21st century" kind of vibe.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I know, my body is disgusting. Bleh. I paired the gown with these blush colored heels from Steve Madden which were really comfortable to walk around with for a few hours. I've always wanted heels like them and I was super lucky to have gotten them with their price marked down! My mom lent me some of her vintage accessories as well as her vintage lace pouch with stringed pearls as its handle.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

So I've just recently rediscovered the "fashion pirate"'s blog <a href="http://fashionpirate.net/">(fashion pirate)</a> and came across this video of hers.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><object height="233" width="400"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/R3kbEw9rSNg?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/R3kbEw9rSNg?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="233" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It honestly made me reflect and realize the, as I quote the title, "State of Fashion Blogging". I know that I'm just a "noob" to this blogosphere but the longer I stay, I realize how much pop culture has affected the often wayward language of fashion. Everyone's so uniform it's kind of pathetic when people claim that an UK flag crop top and daisy dukes with a thin belt and Vans ensemble represent who they are. SUUURE. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What else is prevalent in the fashion blogosphere? Tall skinny girls. Chubby people who try starting blogs hardly get anywhere. Skinny girls on the other hand make it far. And since when did the dictation of fashion become influenced by body type? I mean sure Twiggy was and amazing model but that doesn't mean that every single skinny girl out there are better than what curvy girls have to offer. I don't hate skinny girls okay? I just think it's really sad how much people are so hypnotized with the mindset that you aren't beautiful if you aren't skinny.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Back then, I had really big issues with the need to become thin. It tore me up and made me do things that I wish I hadn't done. I felt really worthless back then but then I came across something that changed me (no matter how cliche it sounds): art. Yes, art, not fashion. For me, fashion falls under art but that's a different matter right now.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So it was through art that I was... saved? Yeah. And I'm talking about art in a general sense. I delved into drawing, painting, singing, dancing, acting, performing and (leading to what this blog is about) fashion. Yes, fashion is an art form. It's technically a way to express oneself and that's how I'm going to utilize fashion in this blog; as a means to express myself.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm going to be starting afresh. It'd be better of you guys disregard my earlier posts. Consider those as my "starting" point. It's going to be something to look back to. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm going to be a tad bit more serious about this fashion blogging business so look forward to it ;)</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">P.S. As you guys may have noticed, to symbolize my "fresh start" I've changed the title of my blog AND my url! HOW FUNKY IS THAT? Anyway, I changed it to "whimsical sailors" because I wasn't satisfied with my old url which was "whimsicalsnails". It was an inside joke that no one would probably get so I changed it to sailors as a homeage to navy inspired fashion, something I'm a fan of. So wish me luck this year, guys! :)</span></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654359117487846261.post-1730604183331993202011-12-11T05:39:00.001-08:002012-03-22T22:11:02.742-07:00Amy Winehouse FEVERRRR.

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I am a SUPER fan of Amy Winehouse. I don't think there hasn't gone a day wherein I don't listen to at least one of her songs (you know, unless of course my ipod runs out of battery and I get too tired to charge it.). So, being the lovable fan I am, my eyes popped right out of their sockets when I found out that Fred Perry had an Amy Winehouse themed clothing line. I was nonetheless brimming with happiness while I was checking out the designs, but I've got a few comments regarding the designs. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I don't think the collection exactly captured the essence of Amy's Miami-themed style. Especially the plain and simple pastel pink cardigan. Amy Winehouse' style is one that stands out from the crowd and not to mention extremely sexy, but after seeing such plain and (forgive me for saying this Fred Perry) dull designs, I just can't help but feel a tad bit disappointed with the outcome. I know that the clothes still had to have that "Fred Perry" vibe, but perhaps they could have used a little more "oomph" to them. Though there were some parts of the collection that made me a downer, I thoroughly liked those that made use of the Amy Winehouse themed print. The pattern was playful and whimsical. It had this really cute yet raw feeling to it. Kudos to that. My favorite part of the collection was the tie-up printed shirt, the high waisted turn-up shorts, and the pedal pushers. The handbag was pretty cute too.</span> </div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">WE TALKED ABOUT FASHION. Asdfghjkl-- I've actually been waiting for this topic for... ever since my sister told me that Fashion Designing was going to be part of the third year curriculum.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So we talked a lot about how fashion was a big influence and exactly what were the factors that influenced fashion. After that we discussed fashion history. I was practically doing somersaults with my friend Bless when we started discussing Coco Chanel and the flower power and psychedelic eras (thus the reason why this blog's name is "flower child" le duh). And after that we had an activity wherein we had to design an outfit using elements from specific periods in fashion history.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> So down below is my design:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WFAm-GNNajQ/Tr4nj5U-fgI/AAAAAAAAAC4/6OcnTwpIthY/s1600/Prom+dress+for+Anne110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WFAm-GNNajQ/Tr4nj5U-fgI/AAAAAAAAAC4/6OcnTwpIthY/s320/Prom+dress+for+Anne110.jpg" width="223" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">So I gathered elements from the following eras: Victorian, Psychedelic, 1960s. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="st">I know it's not much but I think I did an okay job on this one :)</span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

(as of the moment)<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I am a fan of Julien Macdonald (though Alexander McQueen, Coco Chanel and Givenchy have a very special place in my heart). Why? Julien Macdonald's style is something that I can appreciate. It's classy and elegant, yet at the same time there's this edgy feel to it. I also admire the color schemes of his dresses & ensembles as they range from nude colors to very dark shades. And I love how he incorporates eye-popping vibrant colors to his collections every now and then. His works are truly amazing. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">So today I felt a little "critique-y" and compared his 2010 & 2011 fall/winter collections to one another. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />

</a></span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">As you noticed, in his 2010-2011 collection, light colors and nude tones seemed very prevalent giving off a floaty feel. I really admired the white fur coat that stopped mid-thigh (but I'm not necessarily a fan of the usage of fur). The designs in this collection defined simplicity and elegance and were, not to mention, very sexy. They also had this earthy and country atmosphere about them.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Xviki_3fQcs/Tr4JRE5YLLI/AAAAAAAAACY/KtChhiNrRNU/s1600/julien-macdonald.1.00170h-2010.02.22.22.02.59.4401279.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">On the other hand, his 2011-2012 winter/fall collection seemed to be the opposite of his previous one. "Rough" or perhaps "Strong" seemed to be the key idea for these designs becausse I certianly felt that. Even though the outfits in the collection gave off an edgy rock and roll vibe, I sensed a bit of glamor in them. I especially loved the Victorian inspired details to his dresses.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Both collections were great but I admired the first collection better. It was pleasing to the eye and the concept is overall good.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span><br />
