Dots Overload

Overload: become overloaded; "The aerator overloaded"


I adore this new peter pan collared dress I bought the other day. My mom had gone crazy over it since it reminded her of an old dress she used to have so she insisted I bought it. I love the earthy shade and the fact that its a peter-pan collared dress (which I've been looking for one since forever), and it has a very vintage look.

Tomboy is the New Feminine.

Tomboy: a girl who behaves in a boyish manner.

This was a blazer-and-shorts matching pair of clothes my sister bought in Zara while we were in Hong Kong. It gives out such a masculine vibe, yet I think it's an adorable piece that any girl could easily wear. What do you think?



Inspired,
Tammie.

Awareness Tree.

Deforestation: the state of being clear of trees

That definition is kind of crap.

With the typography, I decided to do an awareness poster on global warming, or in this case deforestation I guess. Comments?


Ciao,

Pocahontas

Pocahontas: a Powhatan woman (the daughter of Powhatan) who befriended the English at Jamestown and is said to have saved Captain John Smith's life (1595-1617).




Went downtown with a friend of mine today to get some clothes made, and I took Snappy with me. Snappy is my canon. Yes, I name my cameras. I have a couple now so I decided to name them to make them more easily distinguished! Instead of saying my canon eos etc, etc I'll just say Snappy.

We took some pictures downtown and I took the chance to make an outfit update :)

I'm wearing a zara print shirt, my zara ripped shorts with a brown belt as well as my zara glads. I'm also wearing my pocahontas earrings from accessorize and the messenger bag that I wrote about a few days ago. 

Had a photoshoot while we were at it.

Isn't she the most adorable thing ever? I did an outfit picture of her as well. Love that bag against the blue and her flats are so adorable.




We saw this dog tied to a tree later on and it was the CUTEST THING EVER. So we took pictures with it.

Take care,
Tammie

Messenger Bags (Old School Style)

Messenger Bag: A messenger bag (also called a courier bag) is a type of sack, usually made out of some kind of cloth (natural or synthetic), that is worn over one shoulder with a strap that winds around the chest resting the bag on the lower back.

Today, I went out with a couple friends after school to visit this boutique downtown called "Fedora". It has this charming little vintage vibe and has the most adorablest bags and shoes.

Naturally, I bought a couple (old school) messenger bags which I have been wanting since FOREVER for like $10-$20. So cheap. Here are some pictures:






As you can see already, the style of the bag and tags is very vintage influenced. Love it.
 

Above is the picture of the first messenger bag. Bought this bag for around 380,000 vnd, which is around $20 US. Absolutely adorable, I will take it with me to Singapore for sure.
 

 The first black bag is twice the size of this one. This bag is around 275,000 vnd, which is around $15 US. SO CHEAP RIGHT? And its absolutely adorable. There is a knit pattern on the front and back while the body itself is leather.
 
Sometimes thrifting at the right stores can be quite productive.
 
Take care,
Tammie.
