The image set in this post is actually from my latest lookbook video, so if you wanna go watch how I style my current overalls collection, head to my youtube channel.

This collaboration was supposed to showcase how I (or Penguin more in this case, actually) take my outfit photos for Instagram from the styling thought and how I pick my backgrounds, etc. and these images are supposedly the result of that process.

I'm currently in Macau, enjoying a full 10 days off; free of work and responsibilities and I couldn't be happier. Despite my efforts in trying to be productive while I'm here (hello, errands!), it's actually been a very long time that mind has not been occupied by work!

I just got back from a long work trip to London, a very exhausting one at that, right after which I went straight to Hua Hin for a mini-vacation for Penguin's birthday. Again, not complaining about the fact that I am constantly traveling but god does it take a toll on my overall health. I am now in a state that I call recovery mode and the truth is, am not doing so well in it.

This dress is one of my latest pick-ups from H&M, no less. I told myself I'd buy less from fast fashion stores and invest more in clothes that will last longer, but I can't help it when I see a staple piece. This dress is one of those versatile pieces that I can wear on its own or layered; dress up heels or down with sneakers; and form-fitting yet loose enough that it's breezy. It's made in a soft, silk-like fabric too, so it drops nicely, making me look slightly taller than I am. 

I've been avoiding shopping lately for the reason that I don't get to wear my clothes and shoot outfits as often as I want to. Event dodged the sales when I was in Macau. But my mom, ever the hoarder, bought a few cute stuff just because they were on sale. Never mind who gets to wear them, me or her. Of course it ended up that I had to get most of them because they won't fit her.
