Vintage vs "Vintage"
We challenged Anagon model and photographer CJ Alayon in an all-vintage styling stint!
MUA and Photographer: CJ Alayon




I invited CJ on a mini photo shoot in our house a few days ago. But before heading home, I met her in the ukay haven down-south of Metro Manila for some thrift shopping!

CJ trying out her thrift find. Tops were priced from P60-180 (depends if it falls in the "new arrival" racks)

Glittery black pumps for only P280!

Basic White Pumps for only P380. After haggling, I got it at an even lower price of P280! :D

CJ's animal-print bolero! :)

We took everything home, and styled our vintage items with our other vintage-inspired pieces and Anagon accessories. Here are the styles we came up with! :)

DIY: Modern-Vintage Vest
Create a hip vest from your thrift-store treasure


I bought a vintage vest a few months ago in an ukay, and thought of giving it a spin to make it more wearable and modern. Here's how:



First, you'll need your denim vest like this rainbow Pepe Jeans find. 

Lay garment flat to estimate desired length.

Cut the vest around 8 inches from bottom end, or until you get desired length.

Fray edges. 
TIP: You'll get an even more fringed edges after several use and from constant washing of cloth.

Give your vest some attitude by attaching studs. I got mine from an old studded belt! :)

Finished Product:
Now you have your very own funky Studded Striped Bolero! :)
