WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

Hi guys! :)

I haven't been able to update this Histrionic blog of mine cause of our hectic schedule. We're nearing to the last day of school (which is 2 days from now by the way) so all our professors are catching up on the lessons  and deadlines so we could make it to the finals. And true enough, we did make it. Bummer. Haha! Kidd! :)

Thank God I'm done with my majors, I give two thumbs up to the College of Science for setting up a really good schedule for our finals! So right now, I'm just really really REALLY lazy to get up and study for my remaining subjects; instead, I decided to act like a bum, surfing the net while eating junk. 

Anyway, proceeding... 

Remember back in high school when Christmas gift giving was mandatory? Then all who participated would post their wishlist either online or on a piece of paper or on the board or wherever, as long as your secret Santa is informed? Oh how I miss those days. 

So I decided I'm bringing it back since Christmas is just 75 days away! 

This is a call out to all my loving friends who care about the happiness of their Histrionic friend ehem ehem (yes, I'm talking to you) and of course, to my lovely parents! Hi mom! Hi dad! :)

1. SOMETHING SHEER

Isn't it just a beauty? I love this fabric cause you can wear it anywhere - to a party, to the beach, to the mall, even just to a friend's home - depending on the way you style it. I love how it can show off your skin but still leaning on the more conservative side, just make sure you cover up the right places, of course. 

2. METALLICA

Need I say more? Metallics are obviously a conversational piece because for one it's shiny! Who doesn't love shiny clothes that would make you stand out! And two, it's futuristic. And people love the future!

3. CRAZY FLORALS

Floral patterns are your best friends when you want to look all girly for a day. A hint of floral can instantly make you look sweeter and more girly. (just like those doc martens above!)

4. AZTEC TRIBE

Aztec has been gaining its popularity in the fashion industry since last season, designers and retail stores have been showcasing prints of Aztec! Who could blame them? They're just so cute and playful! You can pile on clothes in Aztec prints and it would just look cool! But remember, balance is the key.

5. FLIRTY BOWS

I know bows are not really the big thing as of the moment but I swear it will be! They're just so cute and adorable, all sweeties love them! Bows have always been around us but you have to admit, every time it's present, it's a statement piece!

6. SEXY BACK

Yes, I'm that kind of girl who prefers to flaunt my back than my girlies. For all you girls who are not really gifted on the front, show off your back instead! I think it's even sexier leaving more for the imagination.

7. HEELLESS SHOE 

Enough said. 

8. SPIKES

And I mean the deadly ones! If florals can instantly make an outfit girly, spikes will definitely do the job of toughening up any outfit. 

9. NEON CANDY

Yes, I want it on my bag, accessories, clothes, even lips! Neon can brighten up anyone's day! It's definitely a head turner. Sometimes it's the only thing you need to give that "pop" in your outfit. 

10. STATEMENT NECKLACES

That last photo is me! Follow me on instagram @lykatienzaaa! 

If you've been reading my blog, you would see that I'm a fan of necklaces; and big statement necklaces are definitely an essential. When you're lazy to dress up, just wear a stunning neck piece , or pile on necklaces, and it would instantly dress you up. 

So there you have it! My Christmas wishlist! But also applies to other occasions. Hehe! 

IT'S A BOHO DAY!

I decided to pull off a modern comfy bohemian look with this red dress I got from a store in Malaysia because of the style and the length of the dress, the brown accent on the waist (making it look like a belt), and of course because of the breeziness and comfort that it provides me while wearing it.

This is my "I am awkward" pose. :| 

Love love love these shoes! Super comfortable wearing them, well, I guess it's because I'm used to wearing heels. You can just imagine the bliss in my heart when I got home and there was no sign of any pain! 

I feel like I'm sitting on my boho throne. Haha! 

Dress: from Malaysia | Denim vest: CLN | Bangle & Phoenix ring: from Vietnam | Owl ring: Rebel | Shoes: Tory Burch | Dangling earrings: Greenhills 

What do you think of my look? :)

PRIM GIRL

Here I am, finally starting on my first outfit post. Forgive my amateur photos :)

The dress reminds of the 40s style, but so much modernized because of the cuts on the midriff and the length of the dress, so this style is  what I call 'contemporized 40s'. 

Forgive my messy house, cause it's under renovation. Haha

Here's a clear view of the intensity of the colors I am wearing. :)

Seeing that the inside lighting doesn't really work, we decided to take it outside.

Jellybean dress | Herbench cardigan | Wengski and Tomski necklace

Back in the that era, long gloves were very popular, so instead of gloves, I wore a cardigan to keep my arms at bay and to keep the ensemble looking conservative.

TOX rings

 To finish it off, I wore gold and pearl accessories to match the $$$RICH$$$ vibe of the people during the 40s era. 

Parisian shoes

  

Balenciaga bag

After, a good day's shoot, I smile. :D

INSPIRATION BOARD

When I become famous and die, this will be part of my memorabilia: Lyka Atienza's first blog post. Hahaha! (Who am I kidding?) Anyway, cheers to my first ever post on "Histrionic Dresser"!

When you open your closet, and you see piles and piles of clothing but cannot find anything to wear.. I'm telling you "Girl, you need some inspiration."

In 'My Documents' - yes, I am talking about my laptop - I keep a folder of photos on clothes and fashion, that I grabbed from the net and entitled it INSPIRATION. These photos give me ideas on what my next outfit could be, helping me decide on what I can do with the white tee that's just sitting on the shelves of my closet for 2 months, or with the jeans that I've been pairing tank tops with for the whole season. You can do the same, instead of just stocking everything in your memory, why not save the exact image in your device's memory? Hahaha!

So here, sharing with you my inspiration board.
