I was standing on the bathroom line at Bangkok’s airport a few nights ago and jotted down this quick note: “social trends come and go but our thoughts are not temporary”. Yes, I had the chance to quickly visit Bangkok for the first time recently, and really fell in love with the people of Thailand from what I’ve seen and felt so far. It’s a place that I can’t wait to visit again just because it was one of those places where being there felt like receiving a big hug.

Pretty sure that with the lack of blog posts in the past year, you probably already know that I’ve taken quite a step back from sharing a lot of my deeper thoughts online. These days, as a content creator, every time I hop on an application I’m faced with a dilemma of posting for the sake of posting or curating it so that it actually reaches the people that I hope that it reaches, people who opted in to hear me. And I guess in a way, this is my fault, and it’s something that I don’t think most creators will admit, but I just haven’t been able to stay consistent. There isn’t one specific source to blame for this, but mainly, I will personally own up to the fact that my thoughts just haven’t been swayed much to keep up with how quickly social media trends turnover. And I just hate the idea of social trends making me leave permanent temporary thoughts to be traceable in this (my own) digital space.

All in all, I guess this is also my big excuse for this pretty plain outfit that I’ve been repeating all summer long in Tokyo. Beach-coverups is probably my biggest tip for wanting to layer in Japan’s summer heat, even if you’re in the city.

It’s been over 10 years since I’ve kept this blog going, and as I look back on some older posts, I realize how permanent some of the things I’ve thought to be are and how some of those thoughts have manifested in certain aspects of my life too. Of course, it’s not wrong to be on the lookout for the next new thing, but with these thoughts, I just want to let you know that I’ll be here, drifting slowly, the way that I’ve been since you chanced upon me.

If you’re reading this, I hope you’ve been well. Hopefully, I’ll have some more realtime thoughts to share with you next time.

Had the chance to visit Seoul for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it was the perfect place to break out this shearling coat by Sandro that I haven't been able to wear in the past couple of years due to living in South America. It's difficult to explain just how warm this coat is, so that's why even though it was one of the coldest days in Seoul so far this year, I was able to layer a couple of my summer tops together underneath while strolling Bukchon Hanok Village early one morning.

Time is flying by so quickly and after spending a couple of years in the southern hemisphere, I'm quite dreadful of the winter months again to tell the truth. That said, I'm looking forward to some mild winter days in December while I'm in Tokyo this year. At least this shearling coat's performance in Seoul gave me some reassurance of actual *warmth* once winter actually arrives.

5 months flew by so quickly, but hello, I'm back. I hope the new hair color is easy on your eyes too, but for me, it's been an inspiring some new wardrobe updates. I'm excited to pick up on this blog again, and share some of the outfits I've been dying to wear in the past year or so. I'll start us off with this pair of cargos from Acne Studios that I've had on my wishlist since last season. I have always been a fun top, boring bottom type of person, but now I'm going all out with fun top and bottoms. Orseund Iris tops are always dreamy to me, but this one is just the perfect transition top from late summer to early fall. It's so flattering, but also so soft. I wish I can also have this in back or gray too!

Long skirts are having a moment, from satin, to denim, and even tailored ones, but it was just the right timing for me to bring this beaded skirt back out to play on the last trip to CDMX. For those with keen eyes, you might remember seeing this somewhere before, and yes, it was a skirt I wore to ring in the New Year back in 2021 at the EDITION Barcelona. It's not anything new around here to see me repeat pieces and even outfits, but I just thought I'd update you on how to wear this beaded skirt in a very everyday, casual way.

Can't you tell how happy I am to have made it back to Mexico City just in time for the jacaranda season? I've only seen photos of jacarandas before, never in person, so I was completely mesmerized by how vibrant they are in person. As I admired them over the next few days during our trip, I couldn't help but feel how fitting their color is for a city like CDMX.

Ever since my last trip to CDMX last year, I have been eagerly looking for an excuse to visit again-- and it just so happened that Shun wanted to celebrate his 30th birthday with a few of our friends taco-hopping here. We had a late flight and landed early in the morning. In fact, this is the same outfit I wore on my flight. Oh how does an oversized blazer come in handy not just for spring weather, but also red-eye flights for early morning exploring. Although the weather is tempermental during this trip, I didn't pack too many heavy jackets for the month of April here. Keeping it simple with my outfits, I usually will pair with a statement piece like floral printed mules or a brighter color bag. This Loewe unintentionally went really well with this shade of brown on my Frankie Shop oversized blazer, no?

Blazer: The Frankie Shop (oversized, size down!)
Top: Cotton Tee
Pants: B Side Jeans (similar beige pair)
Shoes: Nanushka Babou Slipper (similar mule pair)
Bag: Loewe Puzzle Bag
Accessories: Necklace from Notte Jewelry

Lounging in Cecilie Bahnsen

April 7, 2023

21-year-old me who started this blog in 2014 trying to wear leather, stilettos, and corporate appropriate clothing would be so proud of myself turning 29 this year and wearing pieces from dream brands that I've always written about. I discovered Cecilie Bahnsen in early 2016/17 and at a time in my life when I was still figuring out what my personal style was; it was a brand that was not only out of my imagination of what my style would be but also way out of my budget.

Fast forward to the present day, and while I still have to think *really* hard before checking out a Cecilie Bahnsen piece sitting in my cart, I'm quite happy to have slowly built a wardrobe around clothing that makes me feel comfortable and happy to wear for all sorts of events and places, like this baby angel top that I've been packing on every trip this year.
