Fierceness of Kyl: A beautiful day to save lives...

Shizophonic

It's been a while since i posted a look here as i have busy with lots of stuff and and I wanna start again and return with a BANG. Schizophonic - From root word schizo (split) and phone (voice/sound). I have entitled it schizophonic because I have performed on our x-mas party using my two voices. My natural male voice and my falsetto (female voice). I have attempted to have a duet with myself and had the courage to be Mariah Carey and Boys II Men. Aside from fashion, my second passion is singing. I am a frustrated singer. If you want to view the full video just click this link: youtube.com/watch?v=_Gvu7FPj-oY Enough about the sound. Let's talk about fashion. I have created this two-piece outfit or shall i say four-piece using my old clothes. Well to start of, my male outfit was made from my old black pants, gray and white and black checkered vest. For the female look, i have created this silver semi see-through long sleeves and bedazzled with sequins to somewhat cover the breast area and ribbons. I have created a mini layered black skirt and gray fur. Black stilettos and black boots for my shoes. Hope you guys liked it!

A beautiful day to save lives...

I am working as medical transcription supervisor but i finished BS nursing. I am currently in my job for about a year now, but i have extracurricular activities such as working as a private duty nurse for Mr. Ramos. I have known this man via my aunt. This man and so his family was taken care by my aunt when she was here in the country. Now, she is in the US so she endorsed me to take care of Mr. Ramos a stroke patient. I really enjoyed taking care of this man. He is so sweet, vulnerable and innocent. I frequently told him about my life, my love life and everything about me which he happen to enjoy listening. He lives in Alta Vista an exclusive subdivision in Katipunan and his house is as big as a hacienda with 3 different houses. He has one son and a daughter and mind you, his son looks like a god, an angel in disguise a very handsome man. In normal days, i only helped him in his daily activities and grooming because his half body was paralized. Bed bath, bed shampoo, diaper changing, and so on..Just recently almost same time as the big storm struck us, he had a seizure attack. He was rushed to St. Lukes and his diagnosis was he has a tumor in the parietal lobe. So it needed to be excised. i was called for he asked me to. I rushed in to the hospital luckily for me i dont have a work so i got a chance to go there. To my luck,, my patient insisted that i should be in the operating room with him or he will not undergo the operation. Luckily i am graduate of trinity college st. lukes college of nursing so they let me in. I felt so excited by the fact that i have a chance to assist in an advanced operation which is lobectomy of the brain. As i entered i was filled with euphoria. All the duty days of being a nurse suddenly strucked me. I felt the excitement, a sudden gush of adrenaline pumping into my blood. As the operation went by i began to think, " what have i been doing all this time working in a boring office setting editing files, when i can be at the hospital saving lives. Saving lives is really great feeling. I felt elated. Its noble. Its hardcore. So i say to my self i will pursue my nursing career. Some other doctors even take nursing due to economical reasons. So why not practice?...

Jaded

Jaded..

I named this look jaded not because i feel jaded but because most of my colors are in the shades of green. I am wearing a tee that said Kill Hip Hop. I have nothing against hip hop, don't get me wrong, I just find it humorous.

I bought the jacket from OshKosh Bgosh. When I first saw this, my eyes were immediately drawn to it due to the vibrant colors it consists. The cut of this is short more of a bolero-type which I also love.

My pants were from Thailand. I just love the tiny detailing of the stitches in the front and back. The color was out of this world too.

My shoes are my signature. This is my own creation. A yellow top-sider. Here is the draft and finish product:

Silk and Star

Silk and Star.. I called this silk and star for two obvious reasons. Silk because i have created a raincoat out of silk fabric. It has been raining for the past weeks and I was inspired to create a raincoat-inspired outerwear but made it more current and fashion forward. I have put a string in the waist area and neck so it can be tightened up. Star because of the watch i bought for a cheap price. I just find this watch super cute. Here is a picture for a close up look:

For my accessories. i have a created a ring from my old necklace. I have used the square pendant from my old necklace to create a ring, charm bracelet using different stones. My necklaces were a vintage silver choker and a rosary of music. Here is a close-up look:

For my shoes, I bought it from MdB. It is made out of denim which i love. I am trying to add this style on my collection of shoes that i am making. I am still studying how to create a pattern of this without me tearing this apart. This will be coming soon! Here is a close up look:

Beigeful

Beigeful. I just invented a word for this look(lol). The name I concocted for this is pretty self-explanatory. All the colors in this look are in the family of beige and neutrals.

For the top it is a regular beige polo shirt from Lacoste. I had this way back when I was on college. It just proves that i have lost a lot of weight. ^_^ I bought the jacket from HK. A faux leather jacket with D&G logo. I love the zipper detailing on the front and the color is a dark shade of gray. For close up look:

My accessories are featured on the picture as well. An oriental styled neck piece which I bought for just a reasonable price. For my watch, it is another piece I bought from HK. They have great formal watch collection for a cheap price. For my pants this is the remainder of the fabric i used for my Burberry Madness look in LB. I made pants out of it. The fit is very fitted however this is the type of fabric where it is stretch and at the same time very breathable. Hope you like it. Please hype my looks to in Lookbook.

Victorian and Leather

Victorian and Leather.. This look was completely done by me.. Victorian style top, It is made out of Dark green and light green jersey. I used draping method and pleading technique for the small folds and applied ruffles and pearl buttons to create the victorian look: Here is a close-up look:

My pants were created out of black leatherette, the front part was stitched to give an embossed look, zipper on the sides so it can be stretched and black cotton fabric at the back for comfort since wearing leather on skin is very uncomfortable:

Lastly Shoes were made out of blue green snake skin leather and added 2-1/2 inches heels my new design for shoes..

Victorian Obsession

I have been quite obsessed with Victorian-style nowadays. I have been creating Victorian-styled blouses and practicing my pleading skills for three looks now. For the top, I have added a Victorian-styled white neck area blouse to my simple brown cardigan. I also created the cross necklace, it is made out of clear Swarovski and pearl beads with the big cross. I have included it on the necklace not as a pendant but continued part of the necklace itself. Here is the close-up look:

For my pants,it is black leather pants from Oxygen. For my shoes: Courtesy of YRYS, black shoes with brown alligator skin. Here is the pic for close-up look:

No Smoking Sign..

I called this no smoking sign as I was literally standing to it. I have been trying to quit smoking for quite sometime now. I stopped for a year maybe to let my lungs regenerate and unfortunately I got hooked again. For my look: Top: I am wearing a purple, gray, and black striped polo shirt from BUM Equipment. Pants: Gray butterfly pants. I named it butterfly pants as the effect of the button down on the pockets made it look like butterfly. Shoes: This is from Converse. Mixture of Black and white checkered and black cloth materials. Accessories: I have made most of my accessories here except for the suspenders which is bought from Divisoria. A famous cheap shopping market in the PH.

Chinese Inspired..

It's been a while since i have posted here in LB. I have been busy with things. I have been to HK to attend the Fashion Access Fashion show and shoes and leather convention as you know I specialize in shoes. For my look: I named it Chinese inspired cause this top was Chinese-inspired, I also have my snake bracelet to boot, to have a closer look of the stitching and design here it is:

The pants is my creation. It has blue and brown stripe at the back and plain brown at the front. Shoes are my own creation too. Fashion statements and khaki and light brown animal skin leather: Here is the draft when i just finished sewing the leathers:

Here is a close-up look when i put it on its form.

and the finish product..

Chief Justice Blair..

This next look was inspired by Blair Waldorf from GG and the newly appointed, first female chief justice in the Philippines. I created the top with those two powerful women in mind. I used silk for me to easily manipulate the folding and draping in the shoulder area. The pants are from faux leather material, very figure shaping with specs of gold. The shoes of course was created by me again and here is the draft of it when I just finished sewing the form.

Here is the finished product: Khaki Alligator skin Dress shoes.
