Sheer black top - Thrifted | Black inner - Forever21 | Floral shorts - St. Francis Square | Black oversized bag - courtesy of RP Online Shop | Teardrop necklace - Paperdoll Shoppe | Shoes - Enzo Angiolini

Hello! This was what I wore yesterday when the family and I went on an spontaneous out of town trip. I’ll provide more photos and details on that on my next posts! Anyway, chill and lazy days like these call for an equally chill and lazy outfit, and for me, nothing beats the ever so no brainer combination of a top, shorts and flats plus accessories.

I fell in love with these shorts the moment I first saw them. High waist, pleated and floral prints to boot! I also love the fact that people think I’m wearing a skirt when I’m actually in shorts. A good example would be the guys assisting in the zip line we went to asking if I was really in shorts. Haha!

By the way, thank you so much to Gia of RP Online Shop for sending me this bag! I will always be a “big bag girl” (pun intended haha!) because I always carry a lot of stuff with me. Bags like these are just perfect. Visit RP Online Shop now. They offer a whole lot of pretty stuff at very affordable prices, plus they offer free shipping nationwide too! Happy shopping! :)

Lastly, sorry for the semi-blurred photos! My lens is acting up. Maybe this is a sign that I should invest in a new lens instead of using up all the money I make on clothes and shoes. Also, really sorry about the pale face and messy hair. Spell walang tulog!

I’m off to somewhere right now so I’ll be queuing this post. Thank you so much for reading and have a great day ahead! :)

Dress - La Reine by Tatie Aquino | Bejeweled detachable peter pan collar, pyramid two finger stud ring, spike connector ring and gemstone bracelet - Paperdoll Shoppe | Shoes (Krizia’s) - Vi Shoeline

Hello! This was what I wore yesterday night to the grand launch of Mad House MNL’s third issue. Raj Bay (one of the brains behind Mad House) sent me an e-mail a few weeks back asking if I was willing to model for their magazine. I have never heard of Mad House before that time but after I viewed their site, I saw their advocacy and decided to go for it. Fast forward to a week after, we had a photo shoot for the said issue, and I must say, it was my most bongga shoot yet! I’m still not allowed to post the behind the scenes but I will soon! :)

Anyway, the third issue will be made public within this week or the next. Please keep checking Mad House MNL’s official website. The launch got us all excited and I cannot wait to see the final sets!

I’ll be blogging about the actual event next (where another first happened haha!) and more on this wonderful dress by my designer slash BB, Tatie Aquino, so watch out for that. In the mean time, please do join my giveaway with Kulay-ccessories. You never know if you’re the lucky one!

P.S. Sorry for the photos. I know my outfit sets aren’t usually like these, but I didn’t have my little sister with me that time, so. Haha!

On another note, summer school finally ended today (mas stressful pa siya kasya sa normal school days! Hassle sa muscle. Stress sa chest!) and I’m looking forward to resting (especially my still sore feet. Haha) over the weekend.

How was your day today? I hope it went well. Thank you for reading and have a good night! :)

Loyal like a Wolf

Hype this look “Loyal like a Wolf” on Lookbook.nu! Please hit that “fan” button too! <3

Sheer floral kimono - Peaches on Top | Wolf muscle shirt - Topshop | High waist denim shorts - VIKTOR Jeans | Bow ring - Eastwood Bazaar | Clear gemstone bracelet - Paperdoll Shoppe | Blue bead bracelets - Gift from one of my Lolas | Heel-less shoes (Krizia’s) - Vi Shoeline

Hello! I am now interrupting your dashboards with another outfit post! Usually I would post the blog version of my outfits a day after I post them on my Lookbook.nu account, but this week has been really hectic for me (I had two shoots, which I will blog about in my next posts) so this has been sitting in my drafts for a few days now. So anyway, this was what I wore during Mother’s day (sans the heels) I had a photo shoot in the morning so comfort (outfit wise) was my main goal. Everytime I go to shoots I always make sure whatever I am wearing is commute-friendly (because I am a fashionista commuter. Yes. May ganoon. Haha!), easy to take off and most importantly, easy to put back on again. Nothing beats the no-brainer combination of a  top, shorts and cover up, don’t you think? :)

Anyway, these photos also served me another purpose. If you’ve read my last post, you would have known that I got nominated as one of the Top 10 favorite Shoephoric members. They are now holding a little contest over at their facebook fan page and the winner will get $250 worth of shoes from Jeffrey Campbell or sneakers from Shoephoric. The voters also get a chance to win $150 worth of shoes as well. Isn’t that exciting? That said, I am asking for your help. I know I am very far from the leading entries, but I’m the type of person who always see things positively and believes in never saying never, so please vote for my entry! You can vote up to 5 times a day, and if you can, please do it everyday until June 1st. Please click on this link for more details. Thank you so much! <3

Lastly, I just uploaded a bunch of new accessories over at my shop, Paperdoll Shoppe. Click here to see the new collection. Prices start at 60php and nothing is over 280php. Feel free to browse my albums. Happy Shopping! :)

I hope you all had a wonderful day today. Thank you for reading and have a good night!

Not so Little Red Riding Hood

Hello! Filling up on my lack of posts with outfit photos! I’ve been receiving tons of gifts from sponsors the past weeks, and one of those is a package I got from Ms. Sheryl Chan of Sheryl Chan (ENZO) I got this very breezy peter pan collar top (I love peter pan collars!) and these very fierce leopard printed wedges. They are my first pair of animal printed shoes and I love it. I’m having a collaboration (plus a giveaway) with ENZO soon, so watch out for that! :)

For some weird reason, I always associate leopard prints with the color red. Thus I took out my red shorts from Little Nook (one of the things from my very small collection of red pieces. Must remember to stock up on red!) out for a spin. I’m a person who loves details and the scallop hemmed pockets brought this home for me.

P.S. Join my ongoing giveaway! Win fabulous necklaces from Kulay-ccessories. Click here to join now! Best of luck to everyone. :)

Anyway, I had a very interesting day today! We watched a play entitled “Bangkay sa Corintho” and I got to eat at Manang’s for the first time. I love their chicken and we’re definitely going back! :)

I hope you all had a great day as well. I have to doze off now because I have a shoot tomorrow. Happy Mother’s day to all Mommies and soon to be mommies as well. Good night! :)

Primary Colors

Finally! After 1524872947628 days, an outfit post! If you follow me on twitter, you must have read how much I was itching to shoot outfits again, but that the weather won’t let me. I got home early today, and the whole trip back home I was already assembling the pieces for my look in my mind. I never forgot all of my dear sponsors who have been sending me pretty things in the mail the past week, and I decided to build my outfit around one of them. For this outfit, my key piece is this colorful necklace sent to me by Chris of Kulay-ccessories. I decided to go all out on colors this time as well (hello color blocking!) It’s my first time to wear this many colors in a single outfit and I hope I did okay! :)

I would again like to thank my cousin Khendie for doing her magic and putting on my make up for today. I cannot put on eyeshadow to save my life (I’m learning how to, though!) so I’m very thankful for relatives who fill out the places I lack at. Also, a huge thank you to my little sister Chelsea for always being there to take my photos. Kahit na OC ang ate mo, nandiyan ka pa rin. I know you get tired sometimes but thank you for not giving up on me (not to mention of course, all the food I take home as pasalubong for you) Haha! I love you little sis!

Facial expressions like these get a free pass since this outfit screams ‘happy’ and ‘joy’! Pagbigyan. Haha! :P

By the way, I have a lot of collaborations lined up. You know what that means! More giveaways! Stay tuned for my future posts! :)

Oh and yes, don’t worry. You’re not the first one to think that I resemble the Philippine Flag. Haha! :P

P.S. Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end of this post. A little favor? Please ‘Vote’ for my BBM photo contest entry and help me win a BB Smartphone. It will only take a minute. Tell your friends also! Thank you!

Sunkissed

Hype this look “Sunkissed” on Lookbook.nu! Please hit that “fan” button too! <3

Maxi Dress - Derek Heart | Native hand bag - Gift | Sunglasses - borrowed from Tommy | Friendship bracelet - Puerto Galera | Barefoot sandals - courtesy of Bedazzle Accessories

Hello! This was what I wore for Day 3 (Related posts - Day 1 and Day 2) at Puerto Galera. I have been saving this dress for the longest time (I’ve had this for 2 years already!) and this trip presented the perfect opportunity for me to wear it out. The bag I used here was a gift from one of my Tita’s during my 18th birthday and I first used it on this trip as well. Also, do you see my barefoot sandals? These were given to me by Bedazzle Accessories. I loved them so much that I decided to wear them again! It’s the hottest summer accessory for me right now and if you’re planning a trip to the beach this summer, I suggest you go and get yourselves a pair too! :)

Anyway, I’m a little bummed that I chose to dress up for our last day instead of my usual shorts/bikini outfit. Nothing remarkable was suppose to happen, but suddenly my siblings decided to ride a banana boat and that left me waiting at our spot, alone, looking out for our things (while a creepy group of guys sat behind me all the while) It’s fine though, because if I didn’t wear this outfit these photos wouldn’t be here on my blog in the first place!

On another note, my day went fine. I got to school on time (which, believe me, gets harder and harder everyday), had a film showing for our first subject (Beowulf), lectures for Informatics and a debate (which I thankfully passed) for Bioethics. I also had my favorite Caramel Milk Tea with additional Pearls from the Moonleaf Tea Shop in front of our school, and ran errands with my forever bebe, Krizia.

How about you? How was your day today? :)
