“I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.”
— Audrey Hepburn

I admire women who prove to be more than just a pretty face, which is why I absolutely adore Audrey Hepburn.


Her doe eyes and statement brows made her a style muse for many designers (Givenchy, Ferragamo) and remains captivating because of her movie legacy, inspirational words quoted almost everywhere, and her humanitarian efforts alongside UNICEF around the world. 

As this shirt is an ode to feminine nature, I oppositely tucked it in ripped blue denim jeans and added a masculine touch with a black fedora for the mysterious side of things. I wouldn't normally go about stepping in heels for this everyday casual outfit but with this special bag, I can make an exception.

FUN FACT:

My mom scored on this Alexander Wang Coco duffel bag for $10 thrifting at Salvation Army!
TEN DOLLARS! She has the ultimate luck and I couldn't believe it. I had to authenticate it by researching everywhere online and everything down to the zipper detail to the studded hardware deemed this to be the real thing. I love the suede print and how the unique texture/color gives off a denim vibe.

Behold, the power of thrifting.

Exploring different countries in Asia has always been on my bucket list but Singaporean culture was something completely (with a lack of a better word) foreign to me.

Starting off my days in Manila, I've been accompanied with my best friend Sam - who took me to lunch (after no longer being jet lagged) at a spot in SM San Lazaro, a popular chain all across the PI.
