Poetic Isolation

Home All post

Hey guys! You know how technology does good when it opened your mind to fresh and new discoveries. Last month, I discovered a new wondrous fashion platform.

Cross The Line launched last August. They promote Asian up-and-coming fashion designers. As what I found out from their site, they have 11 designers (6 from Hong Kong; 5 from Taiwan). That is something very good to know because they recognize new talent and creations for the fashion world. Who knows young and brilliant Filipino designers will join them too?

Cross the line also share fashion inspiration and stories every month and feature up-and-coming fashion designers together with their creations. A really wonderful opportunity for designers! It is also a good thing not to bore their readers and site visitors. Don't you just love it when you know you have something good to look into? That's probably what Cross The Line is thinking when they came up with the idea.

For the month of October, Cross The Line's inspiration is two of the most fashionable colors- the classic Black and White! Who doesn't love these colors? Even the icon Audrey Hepburn does!

Here are some of the brilliant pieces from their designers. How excited I am to share this to you. You don't have to imagine wearing unique designer clothes because Cross The Line prepared everything for you.

This irregular mini skirt from Fu Yue is so dope. This is absolutely original and unique. I haven't seen anything like this before. Cross The Line has a really talented designer in them.

Somehow the simplicity in this cotton and fiber top (also from Fu Yue) really gets me! This is the epitome of the saying "simplicity is beauty". Just by looking at this top made me think of 10,000 ways how to accessorize.

Sketcharound's Micon print unisex tee is so cool. I love the cleanliness and the creativity combined in this piece.

This cream canvas hand bag is beyond amazing! I really,really, want this!

And yes, as I've mentioned, they have different inspiration every month. Here are some pieces from their fresh September collection. These items are from the Plate Movement collection.

PLATE MOVEMENT

Plate Movement was founded in 2014 by a Taiwan designer, Juan Chao Min.

The designer believes that people can change the world by what they wear, just like plate tectonic movement. What you wear represents the second body language, and we can change the world by communication.

These green and fresh looking pieces made me drool! That grass pouch is sooo I don't know, it's so hard to find for the best word to describe it. The only thing I know is I want it.

What can you say about their two collections guys? Impressed? Feel free to check their site for more unique fashion finds. I am looking forward for more collections from them. Hmmm..I wonder what could be their inspiration for the coming "Ber" months... Well, let's just wait.

Thanks for reading! Keep your minds fashionable!

Hello everyone! welcome to the third post of my EAT BUY TRY section! sorry this is a little late, but better late than never right? haha =)

Anyway, this post is a combination of my favorites and new discoveries. Enjoy reading!

EAT: QQ Ice Shave

This place has been my "tambayan" while I was still in the university. I just love how comfortable the place is. It is a walking distance from our school and easy to locate. I love how nice the staffs are and how clean the cafe is.

Although sometimes the place gets a little bit crowded,it is still a very good place to chill in. You'd think you're in Iceland because of their chilly ice blue walls and penguin stickers. hehe When QQ just opened,they only serve tea variants, their very own Taiwanese style pineapple cake and halo-halo. Now, the cafe is also serving food items like toasted breads *which is my favorite snack from them.

QQ Ice Shave's very own Taiwanese halo-halo. Have you tried this guys/ It was my first time eating such kid of halo2x. It's a real surprise but in fairness it doesn't taste bad. The thing about Taiwanese halo2x is that it doesn't have any milk products. It is healthier too because the ingredients are very healthy like beans,mongo,corn, and the sugar used was the muscovado sugar. They serve it on a big plate which means you can share it with your friends. I think one serving is good for four people. What's more is that it's very affordable for only 70php!

My friends Jongskie and little sis Rose enjoying the place. I miss these girls!

A photo of me and my bff the first time she visited the place. I slightly force her to visit the place at this time but I'm glad we had a great time together. So funny 'cause she wouldn't want to try any milk tea ever again because her stomach felt funny after drinking it with me. hahahaha

I haven't tried their other products yet so I'll just update this post once I do.If you're in Cebu,feel free to chill in this place. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't regret doing so.

BUY: PARISIAN BAG

I actually had this bag for months now because this post had been sitting on my drafts for quite a long time. My apologies! But the photos above were taken right after I purchase the bag.

I never thought shopping for a bag is harder than shopping for a pair of shoes and any clothing items. Well at least that's true for me. I asked my bff Shiela to shop with me because I really need someone to bounce opinions with when buying something.

I want something that is easy to carry and spacious so I ended up buying this sling bag from Parisian. I decided to shop at Parisian again because I trust the quality of their products. Both their shoes and their bags. Their products are also quite affordable so it never leave my pockets empty.

I choose the one in classic tan color because it's simply pretty and it's a good way to substitute the black color. Most of my bags are black in color so I wanted to try something else. Moreover, I feel that I can easily match this with any outfit so I'm very happy with this bag.

TRY: RED LOGO BODY SPRAY

(Sorry for the quality of these photos)

I decided to try products from Red Logo not because I'm crazy over them but because my friend is selling me one. I never had anything from Red Logo before too so maybe I'd give it a try.

I didn't order anything from their cosmetics line because I've so much unfavorable reviews about them. Instead, I ordered two of their recently launched body spray.I'm not so crazy about body sprays and honestly I only use minimal amount of them.

I ordered 2 of their Sweet Shoppe body sprays which are in Caramel and Strawberry. What really gets me most is their packaging! It is so cute and girly! haha I guess I'm in luck because when I used the sprays they seem so good.They have this "kikay" and very sweet smell. The caramel one smells really like a caramel while the strawberry one really smells like a sweet strawberry candy.

I'm not sure if I'll buy one again but I don't have any regrets with their body sprays.

I guess that would be all for the third EAT BUY TRY entry everyone. Let me know what are your thoughts in the comment section below.

Have an extraordinary life!

Good luck!

love lots,
