(and so on…more of my innate weirdness in my old lookbook looks)

..Tights and I were inseparable.

..Ribbons—not just bows, but ribbons used for tying gifts—were the bestfriend of my hair (and my notebooks and my collars and almost anything I own)

..I wasn’t used to wearing shorts then, except with colorful/black stockings or high socks. 

..Circle glasses, starshaped sunnies (and heartshaped but I haven’t found any yet) were my favorites. And I don’t freaking care if they have no grade.

..Quirky, preppy, neon, and weird things fascinate me. I believed some trends and rules are limiting fashion experiments. And I didn’t need to fit in.

..Layering outfits everyday was a lifestyle.

..I was colorblocking before I even heard the term colorblocking (when I was younger I used to call it “color-coding” (pink kung pink, etc) OR “uber-coloring”)

..etcetera.

^Yes, that’s Grace Eclavea before adjusting to, let’s just call it the ‘unofficial, indirectly spoken, implicit school simplicity rule.’ C: (when i said school it’s not limited to the place where I’m studying, it’s general)

Anyway actually, more or less a hundred sentences are supposed to follow that, but my fingers can’t find the letters to type what’s in my head. In short I can’t find the word translation for my thoughts. Or, it’s like I can’t find the “signifier” for my “signified”#COMA101lectures 

Ah whatever. Sigh. I’ll end this post here and just leave my thoughts flying..

God bless and stay stylish, dearies! Jesus loves you infinitely. And nothing— not any style, or weirdness or even as far as RH Bill stance :l —can change His love for you. :)thursday

Fashion Flashback: Prim ‘n Proper..♥_♥

  Prim and Proper..♥_♥ (By Eclavea Grace ♥_♥ (The Fashournalist))

Hi everyone!:D Let me just share with you a “fashion flashback” :) Hihi flashback because I actually wore this outfit….2 years ago when I hosted, together with lovely friends, an NKP-Highschool Graduation of Legacy of Wisdom Academy (my beloved school when I was a sophie). That was March 29, 2009 :D Sigh. Feeling nostalgic again :’)

             ^Photo exposure too high :/ (sorry ‘bout that..)

                  Top and Skirt by Mrs. Biol; Snakeskin Peep-toe Pumps, hand me down from my uber stylish Aunt, Tita Grace; Belt, SM Accessories; Violet Cuff, thrifted; Shades, thrifted

                    I love it whenever my locks are curled!! I just don’t know why I think wavy hair is better on me than straight..:| haha XD (hair and make-up by Mrs.Carol) Anyway the picture above is taken by my co emcee and cousin, ate Pau via cellphone. (first 3 were taken by Mom via dig’) ..below is also from ate’s cp but i just edited it..and made it like..                                  

       

^boom! (hehe pabigyan niyo na lang;) hey it’s free to dream right!? When I was a sophie, I discovered this site and became addicted to it—it gives us the chance to somehow feel every girl’s, or even boy’s, secret dream: to be in the cover of a magazine of your choice! Haha. And that site is magmypic.com. I loved it so much that I did it to so many other pictures (I might blog about them next time, different events kasi ee:) including the next pixie (which I made my friendster and fb dp for about one year hehe:)

                        

Anyway going back to the outfit, what I love about it is that the top and skirt was tailor made..and the design was brainstormed by me and my fellow emcees! yes it was common but it was a fusion of our different bits of little ideas:D

^here are my beloved friends who are my fellow hosts for the day! :) Aren’t they so gorgeous!? :D This pic also shows how we each wore our emcee uniforms  :D One outfit = three ways :)

^one of them is my cousin ate Pauline Sevilla! <3 here she wore it with black belt and silver sandals. I love how she pulled it off!:) It looked so sweet and comfy! I think silver and lilac go well together plus a little touch of black.

                   ^also our co-emcee is my classmate Lesan Lagdamen! :) Now she wore our uniform with a white belt and with a pair of white strapped heels. And she also carried it with elegance! Didn’t she? It’s a proof that simplicity is beauty:D

As for me—who’s almost always tagged as the contrast of simplicity:( sorry naman XD—I used a garterized thick belt to somehow hide my 31-inch waistline then! Hoho. Then comfy peep-toe wedges [sorry no close-up picture] in color black as well.

I loved how we three looked that day, united in style with little differences which showed how to wear the uniform in many ways :D Plus, lilac is the color! <3

So here, a fashion flashback :D thanks for reading! don’t hesitate if you have any comments :) i promise (ayan na naman ako..;) to blog about this—more event pictures—by the time i have a personal blog:D

BTW as for my look in lookbook, you can hype it (or like via facebook) by clicking here.  ..gee thanks! :D

God bless and stay stylish dear friends! ^_^

MERRY CHRISTMAS! JESUS LOVES US ALL :)

Lotsa Love,

Graceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =)

P.S. Let’s continue praying for the victims of typhoon Sendong (Washi) in Cagayan de Oro and Ilagan.. Sigh. Isn’t it hard to eat if you know that many of our countrymen will eat later with their families no longer complete? Depressing. I’m sure you can relate:’| let’s pray
