One of the benefits of living in the Philippines is our access to thrift-shop Gaultier. Absolutely feels like wearing art. Gutted that the tropical climate wont let you wear them out in broad daylight. Indoor occasions only!

Going into a vintage store and finding the perfect t-shirt, the perfect pant, jacket or hat is one of the greatest feelings in the world. See for yourself!

Found the sickest vintage/secondhand shop in Paris. Actually affordable with a great selection, especially if you want to pick up a suit or nice shirts. All profits go towards housing in France so it’s genuinely charity shop vibes! Managed to get 5 shirts for less than €50

Recent trip to India kind of opened up the pent-up Catholic in me. Grew up going to a Born-again school so it was always a conversation about Catholicism vs. Evangelical Christianity. We were only three in my class that were Catholic so there were some subtle bullying happening when everyone else decided to be righteous and agreed that we needed to be saved.
Realized religion is more than that conversation and enjoyed learning about Hinduism. Passed by Akshardham (glorious!!) and bought a few books about it. Went to a transcendental meditation class when I went back to the Philippines and glad I got to attend one. As one would a tourist, I also got trapped into buying a Singing Bowl from the airport.
Went on a book run about Hinduism which my bookstores didn’t have stock on any but found a Cathecism book and a Buddhism book that should be enough to satiate my hunger. I have absolutely no idea where this will take me but I am absolutely enjoying this new sense of purpose.

Recently thrifted one and realized there‘s a dozen of them online (Mandarin-collared wool shirts) that were made in Japan. Came along with a Woolmark tag in Japanese too. Folding creases went away after wearing it out for a while too. Only downside is that it’s dry-clean only but at the thrift store price point, I’m more than happy to extend the life of this beauty.

Finished a few books recently and felt the need to post about it right after. Felt that I was doing a disservice of not giving more thought and really sitting with the feelings they brought out. Will most likely engage with the content I take in this way moving forward.
