Seven Stripes

I've been dragged by my school and work schedule for weeks now that I find it impossible to do some "by-myself-shopping" [yes im a loner.. i love shopping on my own] for the past months. I finally had the time to that on Friday at one of the local department stores, Centro. It was a nice moment to get out of the college assignment mode I've been sucked into.

Centro is currently celebrating their 7th Anniversary, in which they are offering major discounts for most of their products ! I wasn't searching for a particular item, but I was really satisfied with what I brought home. I also managed to snap some photos of interesting things I saw while I swam around the crowd.


Chic Simple dress, Body & Soul chain necklaces, Calliope zippered clutch, all from Centro Dept. Store, Robert Rodriguez leather jacket, Forever21 cross necklace wrapped around wrist, Armani Exchange sandals.


my legs were covered with insect bites right after I stood up...

it was windy and cloudy during the photo session, thus i didnt sweat too much in the leather jacket
alot of beads and crosses going on.. wearing my favorite red nail polish



shot with canon 50mm f/1.4 lens at f/1.8 - 2.2, 1/1000sec, ISO 100. -1 EV


chrysalin floral wedges . some of you might have seen this on Diana Rikasari's blog, but I still think it's worth to post because it's pretty anyway :D


i just love it when scarfs are twisted and hung..

the zippered clutch.. large enough to fit my daily needs..


photos at centro shot using sigma 30mm f/1.4, various settings

This it such a pretty dress! I love stripes. I bought lately a vest with stripes :P but it is difficult to combine it. The pictures with the tree are breathtaking!
The floral shoes are also amazing!
love this post

You gorgeous girl!

I prefer shopping by myself as well. When I go with others I end up doing their shopping for them instead of me getting anything done! :P

like the maxi dress. I like shopping alone too.. I think more clearly when I shop alone and always end up buying things that I really want, not because my friend's influence :)

Ali November 2, 2010 6:04 AM  

Those wedges are ridiculously cute!~ I love the long striped maxi dress, too, you pull it off so effortlessly. :)

Oh yes, I definitely like shopping along more. It's nice sometimes to have my mom along because she can spot things, but when I'm alone I don't feel like I'm wasting someone else's time.

paigewinter November 2, 2010 6:43 AM  

incredible dress! and photos! they really are amazing. i love the variety of what you shot. the colors really stand out. so great!
