Scrapyard

I wore this look to my sister’s birthday celebration at Scrapyard a few days ago. I got these pretty sequinned shorts from Romwe, and I knew it was the perfect statement piece to work my outfit around. You know me, anything sparkly- i like! I didn’t want to go over the top with the glitz though cause I still had to go to work, so I kept it minimal with an all black entourage and a cute metallic clutch. The result? A day to night look that was chic rather than sexy and appropriate rather than over the top!

The piece that brought my look to it’s day appropriate level was my oversized vest. I am in love with it! It brought just the right amount of coverage and structure to my look. This vest is one of those must have pieces that easily turn your ordinary outfit around! Plus, it comes with no sleeves, making it perfect for the tropical weather here in the Philippines. I already have this vest in white as well, and I can’t wait to show you the look I came up with using it! I say leave those bodycon skirts and dresses at home, and wear something new and exciting to your nights out instead! My piece du jour is: an oversized vest!

After work, I headed to Scrapyard (which I mentioned previously here) to attend my sister’s mini birthday bash. The place is just too interesting to keep to myself, so here’s a little tour of it. Look familiar? It’s similar to the Hotel (Henry formerly known as House of Cebu) where I celebrated my 23rd birthday! That’s because it’s located in the same building and decorated by the same designer- so you can tell that it’s really something unique and different. I felt like each place was an artwork in itself, and each angle was a perfect backdrop for one of my outfit shots! If you follow me on Vine (Kryz Uy) you’ll see the video Jack and I made inside the Scrapyard Beat Bug in the photo above! If you’re from Cebu or if you ever find yourself in my city, I’m totally recommending this chic place for a fun night out with friends!

Scrapyard is located at:

2/F The Henry (formerly the House of Cebu Hotel), No. 1 Paseo Saturnino, Ma. Luisa Entrance Road, Banilad, 6000 Cebu City

Mon – Sun: 6:00 pm – 2:00 am

Making Noise

Can you imagine going to school in this number? Cause I totally can! I love how preppy my look turned out, despite it’s glamorous details! If anyone asked me to come up with a school girl outfit, gold shorts and a bib necklace would definitely not be the first things on my mind! But now that I’ve given that a shot, see how much life they bring to my look above? I really love being able to pull off unexpected things for certain occasions. It’s challenging to think out of the box, but it will test your resourcefulness and creativity, and improve your eye for style!

Instead of a high top ponytail, I went for a low messy and carefree bun. Instead of a satchel, I went for a native sling with a cute face detail on it. Instead of corduroy or tweed, I chose gold lame shorts. Instead of a necktie, I chose a neckpiece! These are just some of the few things I played around with to create a not-so-typical, yet still appropriate school girl outfit. It’s boring to just stay inside the lines, and do everything the same as everyone else. Sometimes you need to make noise- and a great outfit is a good way to start!

Strange how my little “life advices” relate to what I’m wearing sometimes. Lol. Today’s food for thought is about how twisted rumors can get. Considering most of my readers are still in school, I thought this would be a topic a lot can relate to. Life isn’t perfect and you can’t please everyone. On top of that, there will always be people who don’t like you, and find ways to pull you down. I don’t know why, and I don’t know what they get out of it, but it’s inevitable. And while you’re dealing with these hurtful things (especially when in school, and in the same circle of gossip girls and boys), you need to toughen up and realize that the truth will always come out. Ignore the nay sayers and protect your feelings, sometimes you even need to cage up your emotions (like how I caged up my top here, get it, get it?) (okay, that was a lame reference) (and fine, i’ll stop talking in parentheses). If you know you haven’t done anything wrong, it will show. And those who don’t put their faith in you… well, at least you’ll know who your real friends are. Right?

Okay, now on to my outfit. I wore my top backwards to create a more interesting “cage” effect, and topped off my look with a blazer to cover up and keep it corporate chic. Then I cinched up my waist with a brown mens belt- which turns out to be very parisian chic. What do you think?
