Hysteria Lane

wisteria2
Incorporated a play on colors and textures for Saturday's casual outfit at the mall. My outfit reminds me of s'mores and yes, the colors pretty much gave it away. Make that candy-sprinkled s'mores with my rhinestone encrusted hot pink chiffon wedges.

I thought it was high time to wear these wedges out after months of sitting idly in my shoe cabinet. I like the sudden touch of hot pink to liven up the earth tones of my outfit. I wore a white ruffled chiffon cropped top embellished with rhinestones tucked underneath my brown suede shorts. The top came straight from the mail and I couldn't be any happier considering I didn't have an outfit planned for the day. Here are some raw photos I deliberately left edited for clearer shots of the colors. Thanks Ela for taking my photos!

I cannot not talk about my shoes :) (I swear they're not that bright as they appear on photos) The release of the Topshop Wisteria wedges left me heartbroken when they got sold out even before I got to pool my then-college allowance. I have, since then, kept my options open, madly hitting virtual malls in search for replicas (for a lack of better term). When I stumbled upon this pair, it instantly hit all the impulse buttons in my body! It's one of those gotta-have-you moments I caved in once again.
Two things I love : rhinestones and chiffon. This pair from Janilyn highly resembles the Wisteria 2 Diamante wedges as seen from the photo above.

I spent my Saturday in Alabang with my sisters, aunt and grandmama. We had lunch at Fish & Co. to take a breather from all the meat we've been eating at home. My sisters ordered the regular fish and chips with lemon butter sauce while I had the baked seafood rice. I just love anything cheese!

I sadly have molted my bookworm past and it's been more than a year since I last held a book. This book is a must-have for stylistas and fashion-savvy girls! It challenged me to be more creative in dressing up. The illustrations are too cute for life! Come take a peek at some of my favorite pages.

This book claims to be the ultimate guide in crafting your own personal style :) It won't disappoint, believe me it's worth every penny!


I finally got to enliven this entry after laying dormant in my drafts for more than a day. I felt so uninspired to write and couldn't bear to publish a half-baked, substandard post. Looks like Brandon's charm failed to deliver  its unwavering appeal to me this time. If you regularly tune in to the evening news, you probably heard of petty crimes left and right, innocent lives being claimed by the most atrocious unimaginable ways, girls being robbed of not only material things, but also of their innocence. This is the part where I let out a sigh of disappointment; the world, our world isn't getting any safer. 


If it hasn't reached your radar yet, one student from my beloved UPLB was held at gunpoint, abducted, raped robbed of her innocence, shot and her body dumped in a canal off campus. The entire UPLB campus and the immediate community mourned with her family. This incident shook the very tranquil community of UPLB, my UPLB. Hats off to the local government for the immediate capture of those monsters responsible for this heinous crime. Although these monsters (yes, I refuse to call them people. Just the thought of them makes me gag) are now under the custody of police, I am finding it very hard to trust security guards and tricycle drivers everywhere. 


And justice for all. Let's all join in prayers for her soul and for the recovery of the people she left behind. Keep safe everyone! And please someone tell me where I can get myself some pepper spray?

Maite said...

just discovered your blog, i love your hair! is it naturally wavy? and is it layered?

Nadine Natalin said...

love your outfit esp your pink wedges

Ana Maria said...

@Maite - Wow!! Thanks so much :) Yes it's wavy, my hair's naturally straight but when I was in grade school, I developed an awful habit of tying my hair in a ponytail after bath, hence it became wavy :( When I had it colored 3 months ago, the waves became more manageable ;) thanks Maite!

@Nadine Natalin - Thanks Nadine ;)
