Happy Holidays

2011-12-23T06:29:00.000-08:00

It's the season to be jolly, festive and glamorous. Opted to wear this whole ensemble to our gym's Christmas party, chose to play it classy and simple but added extra oomph with my statement earrings.

Top and Leather paneled leggings, H&M. Shoes, Forever 21. Clutch, Christian Audigier. Knuckle ring, Bring.

And here's the cherry on top.... my favorite accessory for the season.

My Mango earrings.

Now that's a statement I'm willing to make.

Extra length

2011-12-18T03:37:00.000-08:00

I have always been afraid of trying out something new, taking risks and going out of my comfort zone. Same goes with the way I dress, I go for something casual, never over the top and I usually just blend in. But sometimes, putting more effort into your dressing and receiving tons of compliments of how great you look when you actually try something new is quite rewarding.
For this entry, I'm sharing how a 5 feet girl from the suburbs, where people are used to normal, sport a maxi dress. Yes, I dared to wear a maxi skirt and dress inspired by Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachel Bilson and the like.

Top and Skirt, H&M.

My first and only tip, make sure the length is appropriate, not too long and draping on the floor or not too skimpy. Then just play with proportions and the kinds of fabric. In the picture, my skirt is made with light, jersey material, straight cut and quite body hugging, I paired it with a chunky-ish sweater to add volume to the overall look. Since the skirt is long enough not showing enough skin, I opted for an off shoulder top. Flats can be worn for a bohemian chic kinda' feel into the entire wardrobe.

Dress, Forever 21.

With this dark hued maxi dress, I feel like it elongates my body even more. It creates an illusion that I am "taller". Paired it again with flats, but could also be worn with heels for more height, with heels though, i'd make sure the dress covers the entire shoe and just falls right on the floor for a perfect "taller" feel.

Sometimes it's also good to try something new. Even in small things, it makes big difference and let you actually think you can actually try and do something out of the ordinary. Right now, I feel the need of adding more maxi dresses and skirts into my closet. If you haven't tried it out yet, go and don't be afraid.

Functionality.

2011-12-15T04:50:00.000-08:00

I am currently an out of school youth, unemployed and jumping around cities exploring. In simple terms, I am pretty much a bum. My friends always encourage me to blog again, so maybe this time, I'd give it a shot. Again.
Here's a quick outfit and foodie post!

Although my Jeffrey Campbell shoes seem loud and attention grabbing, they still could pass for casual, everyday shoes since they are so comfortable, wore them from lunch time til midnight. 12 hours to be exact and I survived. It was just like walking in flats. I am PRO comfortable shoes now, no matter how great it looks if i can't walk in them, I ditch them. Ahhh this made me want more JC shoes! I am in love. On another note, my Givenchy Nightingale bag is my company whenever I travel, I used to find it high maintenance coz of the delicate lambskin leather, it has stood with me despite the heavy load and it is very easy to carry with the shoulder strap with it.
These 2 are just my favorite things right now, just thought I'd share.

Top, Zara. Shorts & Silver Cuff, H&M. Shoes, JC Lita. Bag, Givenchy Nightingale

We had breakfast at the famous Robot Resto and Lounge. It was early in the morning so no one was really there, we just wanted to experience the place and give it a try. The breakfast menu only had few selections and was priced decently. The interior of the restaurant was very futuristic and nice although it is no longer maintained, the service was extremely slow and our food was served after an hour (no joke). The food was good though, it was light but hearty and the presentation was lovely.

Breakfast: Japanese Omelet at Robot

We have been wanting to try YABU House of Katsu at SM Megamall Atrium ever since, people have been raving about it. Alas, I know what the hype is all about now. I ordered Hire Katsu, it is a lean pork with the fat trimmed off, with sides of unlimited cabbage and Miso soup. I tell you, my katsu was so soft, it melts in the mouth, my friend ordered the same thing, and didn't even know she had pork if i did not tell her, all the while she thought she was having chicken, yes it was that lean and soft!!! I would definitely come back for more! I enjoyed my whole katsu experience.

Just another lazy day

2011-06-15T23:53:00.000-07:00

I seriously thought I have gotten past my thesis editing, but no, we meet again, I am typing this post as I am printing my thesis, the heat is scorching and yet I have to go back to school. That's life, I must move on. Anyhow, here is another outfit post taken one lazy sunday afternoon. Oh how I love to be lazy, my day would just be going to the mall, have coffee and watch a movie with friends.

cropped top, forever 21. shorts, vanilla sky. flats, zara. rayban aviators. bag, steve madden.

Life is at its finest when you could just wear something comfortable and feel happy on it.

Color Blocking Attempt

2011-06-06T23:20:00.000-07:00

Been updating almost every day! Gaah, I miss this. Anyhow, the color blocking trend is everywhere and I'm jumping in the bandwagon. This is my lame version. Wore this out on a casual dinner party with gym-mates.

top and jeans, h & m. shoes, lucky brand. bag, chanel. necklace, claire's.

What's your favorite color combination for color blocking?

On another note here's my "woven like" Lucky Brand Flatforms, they are comfortable and stylish to boot. And they seem sturdy and very well made, definitely worth it. I love them.

Casual Weekends

2011-06-05T06:38:00.000-07:00

Out on a date night with friends. I was actually trying to do color blocking though the picture doesn't really show. Wore a coral top and elecrtic blue bandage sandals both from H & M. Paired it with Louis Vuitton bag for a classic touch.

Girl Again

2011-06-03T20:30:00.000-07:00

I rarely dress up since the summer weather is too humid right now but it was my BIRTHDAY yesterday and I could not pass up on putting on an outfit and taking a picture of it to post in my blog HAHA. Well anyways, here you go:

Photo credit: my friend Vally

Pleated batwing top, Encore. Shorts, H & M. Shoes, Jeffrey Campbell. Rings and necklace, Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe. Bangles, H & M.

I wore this whole ensemble with a Mulberry Alexa bag in Watermelon, I wasn't able to take a picture with it though, but you get the picture, the hot pink lips and the bag adds color to the nude pink outfit. Ahhh, how I missed blogging, putting an outfit together and adding inches to my height. Gaah! Feels good to be a girl again.

New Camera

2011-04-26T18:27:00.000-07:00

Finally got my self a new and more handy camera. It's the new Lumix GF2(2 kit lens 14-42mm and 14mm), although it is not light as I wanted it to be I am pretty happy with it. I have yet to give it a spin though.

So now, I feel more optimistic in taking pictures to share with you and get this blog alive. New things to share soon!

shoe-athon

2011-02-03T03:48:00.000-08:00

I think these shoes deserve some lovin'. Never really got the chance to wear them out yet. my Birkenstock's and black flats need some rest, they're all over used.

Really the problem with me is, I don't know how to use what I already have and I just tend to hoard more things and they all end up in the storage, some even with tags on. And since it's a NEW YEAR (Chinese), even if I'm not, I'm taking advantage and share my new year's resolution, that is to use the loads of stuffs I still have, stop buying and try saving money for future investments, like a new bag or a pair of designer shoes. Yumyum. =)

back on track

2011-01-19T02:52:00.000-08:00

I'm not really sure if I'm back to regular blogging again but hopefully I'd find time to take pictures and post it here to share since I barely have anything to do now that I'm done with school and board exams.

Here's to one time I went out for dinner and actually brought my camera

Pardon the FACE! i look like blank and awf but this is the only decent picture i have.

top, oxygen. jeans, gap. shoes, michael kors. bag, louis vuitton. necklace, claire's. bangles, h&m.

I seriously have nothing against local brands like penshoppe, bench, oxygen and the like but I could never really get my self to spend on their merchandise until this one time while reading Metro magazine that I saw stuffs from Oxygen being featured, I hurriedly went to their store and found something I like, my first ever purchase from that store was this slouchy top and I'm completely inlove with it.

And yes!! my Michael Kors clogs, they're heavy but awesome and pretty easy to walk in though it makes a lot of noise since the heels are pretty much solid wood.

since my outfit lack some color, piled on these colorful bangles.

wooden clogs

2010-10-17T04:31:00.000-07:00

Got this wooden clogs from Steve Madden a few months back, and i have been using them every chance I get!! and well, for these reasons, they're light and super comfortable to walk in, they go with almost anything i wear, and they're just one of the few shoes i brought home. Boohoo still waiting for 10 of my shoes to arrive. Or will they ever reach Philippines, maybe I'd see them the next time I go back to the States? HAHA!! grrr. >,<

cheap thrills

2010-09-18T06:00:00.000-07:00

I was never really fond of make up, until my Aunt tagged me along to the big department stores where beauty assistants offer to do you a make over, one I remember most is from Napoleon Perdis at the Westfield Mall in San Francisco, he taught me that I needed to apply concealer and eyeliner and a bit of tint on my cheeks and lips then I got instantly hooked with Michelle Phan's youtube videos and a whole lot of people making tutorials too.
To make the long story short, I have researched my way to the make up world, and being jobless and relying my mom for financial support, I have worked my way on where to scrimp or spend. For now I'd be sharing my favorite DRUGSTORE MAKE UPS and Whether to SAVE or SPLURGE on an item, I'm no beauty expert, I just share from my own experience, and hope it helps you too. =)

Foundation:
Splurge on Foundations but this drugstore find could be an alternative you would love

Neutrogena Mineral Sheer Liquid Make up - it feels so light you won't even notice you have foundation on! Highly recommended =)
id Bare Mineral Essentials foundation and mineral veil - they give the right amount of coverage and doesn't look cakey, trust me, you'll look flawless day and night.

Blush:
Splurge on Blush, Bronzers and Powders
Why?
Luxury powders have been pulverized to such a degree that you can layer and layer without ever looking like a clown, according to Marie Claire beauty editor, Didi Gluck in the magazine.

My best purchase yet is my Nars Orgasm and Laguna Duo, they both are the perfect team.
One thing I also have in my make up drawer is a blush/brozer from Models Prefer which gives me a beautiful instant glow.

Mascara and eyelash curlers:
SAVE!

Maybelline, Loreal and Revlon has come up with equally great Mascara.

Maybelline Lash Stilleto - this would make your eyes pop and bright

Revlon Extra Curl Eyelash curlers - not ready to splurge with Shu Uemura? This can be right at your side and does i's job perfectly.

Eyeshadow and Eyeliner:
SAVE on Eyeliner and on Eyeshadow, although some people swear by expensive eyeshadows to last all night, like the Dior 5 Colour eye palette, I am a strong believer on saving on eyeshadows and SPLURGING on primers, I have used Urban Decay Primer Potion and through the night my MILANI Runway Eyes palette stayed on and feirce! Loreal deCrease is the cheaper alternative.

I am equally inlove with Maybelline's 2in1 instant eyeshadow and liner too, very smooth and easy to apply. But i seriously regret not getting the $16 Harajuku liquid pen liner. It was dark, easy to apply and comes in a whole lot different colors. Now I wish I used my head that time. =(

Face Primer:
Rimmel Fix and Perfect face primer
Do we really need it? I only put it on if I go out to parties at night or something that requires dressing up, perhaps it holds the foundation longer and maybe a less oily skin. One thing you could also use is MONISTAT Chafing gel as face primer. I have read a lot of good reviews. You can read more about it HERE.

So here are some of the things I have tried and I hope it helps you if you are just starting to use make up. Try experimenting first and work you way up the ladder. Practice makes perfect and you'll find the perfect ones for your skin too.

you get everything you want after all...

2010-08-23T02:44:00.000-07:00

I have long been gone from the blog world, though I try my best to do blog walking from time to time, at one point in my life, i thought i'd give up this blog but more often I think that it was a big part of my person that I just can't let go, although right now I am more focused on reviewing for the board exams for nursing which will be on December. Don't get me wrong, I do love dressing up and all sorts, I still can't sleep thinking of that perfect pair of shoes or dress, or accessory. I still religiously read fashion magazines and style books but I think I just have to cut back on some things and know my priorities.
I recently got back from a 3 month trip to the US and oh boy, the shopping experience was beyond awesome, it's always different when you're independent, you know what you want and you're mom's bank account backs you up..

I'd try to recall my 2010 wish list....
On this post, you get everything you want after all...

good food and a happy tummy

2010-06-13T13:31:00.001-07:00

It's time for me to share about the food. Everything was well provided all the time at cruise ship and... room service is free, always good food at your reach.

smoked duck

tiger prwans

lamb

chicken tenders in thai sauce

and good desserts

For now all I can think of is dieting after pigging out and having to think about what to eat 24 hours a day for 7 days.

cruisin'

2010-06-07T15:54:00.000-07:00

I have been disconnected from the internet for a week!! I went away on a vacation to the Caribbean! It was a 7 day cruise with the Carnival Dream ship. It's humongous, it is Carnival's largest ship and it's the 2nd largest in the world!! They were like 4000+ guests and 1000+ crew members on board but you barely see people crowding. I must say it was the best vacation I've had so far. We went to Cozumel, where the water was so blue I felt like it connected with the sky, next was Carnival's island in Isla Roatan Hondurras, it was just perfect for a lazy day in the beach, and we went snorkeling in Belize where the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world is and finally, I celebrated my 21st birthday in Costa Maya, Mexico. Everything was a great experience I would never forget.

In the ship, you would never get bored, there are always a lot of activities, at night there are always shows in the theater like street dancing, broadway, juggling, and a magic show. The food is beyond delicious, there are a lot of choices, there is a 24 hour international buffet and a sit down restaurant.

It was an overall the best experience, so if you're an eye for vacation, consider cruising as an option.

Nikon lens review

2010-05-23T22:12:00.000-07:00

This post will serve as a review for the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 I recently got.

I am not good with photography at all but I wanted nice pictures with blurry background, after reading several reviews and after several months contemplating between the 50mm, I finally decided to get the 35mm.
For these 2 main reasons:
1. 50mm is too near for me if I want to take indoor photos, there would be more backing up and adjusting
2. 50mm is not a DX lens and cannot auto focus, although a lot of people like it better to focus manually, i think it's always better to have an option

So they are finally here. Photos below are my test shots, trying out how the bokeh effect would turn out and all that. I just want nicer and sharper pictures and I think I have found the answer. This is a good lens for beginners or those who wants blurry pictures on a budget. I got this for $197

f stop at 1.8

first shot with the lens, i love the sharpness of the picture

YSL Imperiale pumps
(shot indoor, low light area)

pictures are unedited and straight out from the camera

And I am currently reading everything about photography from my ipod, an application I downloaded - dSLR toolkit for dummies, it is very helpful for beginners/dummies like me, it also has specific exposure calculator for every event or setting you are shooting and a whole lot of photography tips. I got my money's worth for 99 cents. =)

down south

2010-05-19T18:59:00.000-07:00

2010-04-19T15:19:00.001-07:00

I have been gone pretty long! Well, anyways, i have been going around san francisco, and not buying anything!! more like browsing first. i'd be here for 3 months and i pretty much would want to save for something really big!!

here are some pictures taken: i didn't really pack much (traveling light) so my outfits look pretty much the same. Last Saturday, we went around union square and yesterday, we visited Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto and I must say, i love the outdoor shopping, the weather was perfect! <3

this picture was taken around the neighborhood. gaah! i love white flowers. beautiful spring.

at Union square

at Stanford Shopping Center

Look!! i got a picture of a bee on the flower! Oh Spring!

I was being enthusiastic! Hey Ma! It's Neiman's!

Downtown Palo Alto. I love it there. <3

Updates of whatever are coming. So stay tuned, bare with me for the slowdown of post. I will try my very best to update often.
p.s. pictures were taken by my point and shoot camera since i was lazy to carry my slr camera. =)
This is it for now. have a great week!

sheer madness

2010-04-04T04:54:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the hiatus. School is finally out and I have been dealing with my everyday life left and right. Finishing up things before I leave for the US. I will get back to regular posting as soon as I get everything sorted out.

For now, I leave you with this not really old pictures, they were taken maybe 2 weeks ago when our batch had a "farewell" party few days before graduation. It was basically a pool party with a dj, lots of booze and drunk undergrads, singing, dancing and having fun like crazy.

(the pictures are not decent. at all!! my friend is not really oriented in taking pictures with the DSLR camera. so yeah, they came out dark and blurry)

light as a feather... soft as a cotton

2010-03-23T05:59:00.000-07:00

Hey blogworld!! I miss posting... It's very strange of me but lately I have been detached with my computer. I haven't touched it for days. Well, I have been doing nothing actually, by nothing I mean jogging in the morning, graduation practices whole day, sleeping and playing with my ipod all through out the day. I get to access twitter and facebook so I don't really bother using my laptop anymore. Boohoo! Well enough of this nonsense.

Saturday is graduation, I leave for the States on the 15th for 3 whole friggin' months! I can't wait to see family, eat good food, rest, stay away from the heat, and SHOP! I will be traveling alone (Manila-US) for the first time! and uh, I'm kinda' envisioning my comfy 12hour plane ride outfit already.

I will be making use of whatever I have in my closet, work on pieces I can use over and over again and are easy to "wash and wear". (There'd be no one to iron my clothes in the States!)
MUST REMEMBER: Pack LIGHT!

Perfect outfit: slouchy shirt, blazer, comfy/sweat pants. Here are some of my inspirtations

PROENZA

ELIE TAHARI

RAG AND BONE

A.WANG

Could this be my slightest chance to layer, wear blazers and THE leather jacket I have been lusting about ever since.

So you, YES! You!
Where are you headed this summer?

I find rub-on tattoos hot as ever now!!
Is it just me or what?
These Chanel spring 2010 sticker/rub-on tattoos are just plain amazing.
There's no freakin chance i'd get the real thing. So perhaps. Get someone from my area to DO IT for me. Hey summer is nearing and I'm almost out of school. Might give it a try..
I like the first picture best btw. It looks like chain stripper stockings minus the nylon. and yup the bracelets are fine too!

strut the sidewalk in style

2010-03-08T05:16:00.000-08:00

I got excited with style.com's spring 2010 looks. and... I got to play around with shape collage again!!

These are by far my choice for wear/copy-able looks. I get inspired by the simple, clean and a pop of something extremely gorgeous or unique.

P.S. click the photos to enlarge and the name of the designer is on the URL link. =)

shoe lust: MR. ROBOTO

2010-03-08T03:28:00.000-08:00

I am alive again. Okay so today was the last of my final exams and phew I'm glad I made it through. My thesis editing is almost over. So I could pretty much do blog walking these days.

travel back to the future with these awesome balenciaga's. they're classic (oxfords, and loafers) but the heels and platforms are soo futuristic. and the colors. they're candy liker. perfect for spring,eh? well, I don't seriously think i'd own one of these but yeah, it makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. IDK!! =p

I am currently, madly and deeply in love with shoes.
WARNING: More shoe posts coming up!!
Geeh. Share your thoughts about these shoes.

2010-03-01T02:55:00.000-08:00

a day when you really don't have to do anything productive...

this was taken probably weeks ago. i like how the shirt made everything so laid back, I just want my days to be fuss free, "nothing but a t-shirt on"

(shirt, SM. sunnies, f&h. velvet leggings, random. bag, coach. shoes, cotton on.)

EEEK! NOT!! This is totally not my life right now. It is more of dull, complicated and chaotic. First, there are tons of school work for me to finish, there are still so many things to do but I barely have time left. 26 more days to go before graduation, this week is the last week of school stuff, next week are final exams, finalizing of thesis and graduation pracitces.
I'd be pretty busy this week giving my last blow. Need need to study!!
So this is my last post for the week and I'll recover after exams which is on MONDAY!! So hurray!!

I will be doing blogwalking asap! <3

WEDGES? I DIE!!

RUN and make it WERQ

2010-02-25T04:31:00.000-08:00

Weirdest title ever!! I am running out of ideas!! I keep running out of anything... must must make my brain cells RUN!!

Got the day off today and thought I'd try on my clothes since I never get to wear them.. Ahh! I can't wait for summer... I'd get to wear shorts and skirts!! We have saturdays and sundays as our non school uniform days but we don't get to wear shorts and skirts since we follow a very strict dress code. We basically wear shirts and jeans to school. =) yeah that bland. =p I must admit! I feel very unstylish most of the time. I run out of outfit ideas and almost always feel I have nothing to wear. Oh, here we go again!!

(floral button down, gift. shorts, vanilla sky. belt, SM. shoes, online.)

this floral shirt my mom got me looks vintage, more like granny florals. Paired it with shorts since the heat is unbearable, plus sky high platforms to make me look taller. =P

I saw this shirt from Topshop and grabbed it right away without even trying it on. It appears too big but I guess I could do more with it. I am again in love with the print, so I am trying my best to pull it off. And, yeah, I was never really a fan of stockings with open toe shoes, but I got these stay up black stockings and they matched my Forever 21 wedges well. It may a late response to this trend but I am diggin' it actually. =)

Summer is fast approaching... I smell floral prints,khaki, nude, whites, shorts, and cropped shirts. Oh no! I pray for cold weather, rain!! please come.
Note to self: must get the perfect white button down. I don't know why, it feels like a necessity.

taking time to breathe

2010-02-21T04:05:00.000-08:00

I recently got back from a 3 day educational trip to Manila and I am dead tired. I just have been sleeping the whole day! We weren't able to go around shopping but I managed to get some stuffs from Topshop which I will share soon!!

For now, I'd like to share this awesome shirt I got. It's a work of art. I love the print.

It looks like an awesome painting.

and these are my favorite cuffs as of the moment.

latest love

2010-02-16T05:28:00.000-08:00

Major exams are finally over. We have a school trip this coming Thursday to Manila, I don't really expect to go extreme shopping but hopefully I get my hands on something... perhaps, new shoes?

Here's something before I hit the sack.

I have this great fascination with laces and I recently acquired this top, the back part is sheer and I am diggin' the lace pattern. Can't wait to wear it out. =)

Finding the perfect blazer has been my long dream, the one with the right color, not too thick and heavy, and yeah I finally found it plus it has little silk flower details on the left pocket!! <3>or even just the cold breeze!!

(bow tie necklace, gorgeous. zipper flower cuff, online. sunnies, vintage.)

The sunglasses are vintage, my guy friend gave to me, i think it's even older than me! It belonged to his grandmother.

It has been almost 6 weeks since I posted my 2010 wish list... And some of them are now granted (although they are not really the exact same thing as shown in the list) with unexpected surprises in between..

I originally wanted a Monogram, but my mom wanted a Damier, I gave in.. I was like, whatever works, Damier it is, BUT eventually she got me Monogram. I am more in love with the Monogram design, they look more appealing to me. idk. =p

International wallet instead of the Insolite

Surprises in between...

this Monogram Totally can be my new working bag. It has zippers and outside pockets!!! for a change. =)

My mother was very kind to buy me a Chanel bag. It was a very strange and a BEAUTIFUL surprise on a Saturday morning.

This is an very old vintage Chanel bag from my mother and It's mine now! <3>
I have been trying my best to get my hands on the Louis Vuitton Ballerina's but unfortunately they are not in stores yet, or will they ever be. I'm trying to find a replacement with my old ones and I need them now!!

On a different note...

I recently have been purchasing a lot of fun accessories. They make me happy, they give life to a boring outfit and they're funky. =))

rings from (L-R: Gorgeous, SM Dept. Store, H&M)
I am obsessed with rings, although it's very hard for me to find really nice and unique one's since the choices in Iloilo are very limited, I still manage to grab something which I like though...

I love this owl necklace from Gorgeous (a local accessory shop), it looks exactly with what Forever21 has, only cheaper ($3). This purple ring is from my boyfriend's sister. She has the exact same ring in white, I complimented them and she got me a purple one the next day. It's a cute flower cocktail ring.

Yeah so this is it for now. it took me a long time to upload this pictures. geez =))

this photo was not edited, the sparkles from the rings are straight out from the camera. And I loovee it.

(top, zara. jeans, guess. shoes, cutesylicious.)

I wore this last Dinagyang too. was going for casual chic look. I am quite amazed with the shoulder detail of this top, too bad I don't have close up pictures of it, it's still in my friend's camera. Anyways, this it for now. Got school obligations to face =P

I am this addicted

2010-02-02T03:27:00.000-08:00

I want to get my hands on Jeffrey Campbell's shoe collection. I am in love with the platforms.
they're available at Solestruck

show me your true color...

2010-02-01T03:59:00.000-08:00

I haven't really given time to post something since school has been pretty toxic. I guess this is the downside of graduating, I really haven't felt this much pressure ever!! Just want to show you my new SHOES, I got them first week of January though, just got the chance to take a picture of them... And OHHH I was able to get my hands on a part of my wishlist with some pretty great additions!!! will be posting it really SOON!!

Wore this outfit on a night out with friends during Dinagyang. I am inlove with this cape/blazer. I love the color and the padded shoulders!!

spinning round and round

2010-01-25T02:53:00.000-08:00

I had a semi one week off last week. Our school celebrated its University Week, so no LECTURE!! But unfortunately, I'm "On Call". So I go duty in the Operating Room everyday and only get off when there are no operations. Weekend was a blast though, we didn't have review classes since ILOILO celebrated the DINAGYANG festival (merry making and dances in honor of Se ῆor Sto. Ni ῆo). It actually is the number 1 tourist event in the country. My friends and I joined the fun, usually TEENagers go on night outs, and yeah we did for dressing up sake, well I really did not intend to go out and party but I was kinda' persuaded to go (I wanted to rest that weekend). But I'm glad I actually went out to spend time with my friends and catch up!!
On a Sunday morning, the DINAGYANG contest began (different tribes compete, they do ethnic dances as Negritos in honor of the Patron, they wear beautiful and colorful costumes, and they paint their bodies black). We used to watch it Live but this year my parents passed so my friends and I joined them on the streets and had pure FUN!! We didn't watch the contest proper but we watched the street dancing competition of the different tribes. Here are some amateur photos I took.. I am starting to love my DSLR camera...

supersize me

2010-01-15T07:24:00.000-08:00

this is one of my long time wish.... getting the perfect leather jacket!! but just when i thought i have purchased the perfect pair with the perfect price, i got the imperfect size!! I got it way too big for me, talk a bout a size larger or two. I feel very disappointed with my self, i am just trying my very best to make it work! =))

My hair is not really this curly, tied my hair in a bun for the day and it came out like this. =) hey chubby face. !! HAHA

CREAM OF THE CROP

2010-01-12T01:27:00.000-08:00

THIS IS A VERY LATE POST SINCE I STARTED MAKING IT BEFORE 2009 ENDS. BUT YEAH, HERE IT IS!! =))

One thursday evening, while I was very bored much waiting for the New Year to start, a somehow great idea popped into my mind (well for me at least) I wanted to name my Top bloggers and Top fashion icons of 2009. So I went first with my top bloggers since I already had a clue of who they were. I immediately emailed them for consent, and run through each and every page of their blog to take down some notes. I guess I just wanted a feature not really an interview since I'm kinda' dumb ass when it comes to these writing stuff, I'm pretty much good at putting together what is available. So here goes:

We do have what we call now Fashion Bloggers, independent women who break the rules of fashion to speak their mind, show their creativity and share the world the beauty that's not often seen. They have started a scene of their own, putting and sharing them selves out for the world.

Who struck me most: (in no particular order)
Noelle of Noelle Chantal - just a girl in between inspiring styles and beautiful places. Her blog says it all, Noelle combines fashion, nature and beautiful scenery at one. This 26 year old fashion blogger has caught my eye instantly, from her beautiful pictures in Dubai (mosque's and deserts), from nature trips and most of all her Outfit posts.

I love!!! her great fashion finds: thrifted buckled top (Php 30) (GO TO outfit) paired with cut-off shorts and MNG heels, her wide array of great pieces of jewelry from egypt, and mikimoto pearls and her pictures with beautiful scenery. Plain breath taking.

Noelle Chantal

Mads - the miss congeniality in my blog world. She was perhaps the first person I have ever commented on (and actuxally got ecited about it, it was about Guam) and got a comment from. She shares a very quirky and fierce passion for fashion. It's always a fashion plus that she's a doctor, being busy in the hospital but still manages to look FAB =) hence, her blog. fashionisthebestmedicine

I love her great ideas of how she turned a skirt into a dress, what she made with the leopard print robe she got from SM Surplus turned into a FAB and DIVA-ish blazer and how she scored her BALMAIN-esque blazer in a thrift shop in Baguio.
It's always amazing with her style, something unexpected and out there.

Danielle
Her life is like a party on the BEACH!! Vibrant, free and over the top!! that's Danielle of trustme-itsparadise. Colorful nail polish, half shaved head (i do not know what to call it, Dane's hairstyle maybe?) bubbly/girly/rock-ish style. That's how I see her feirce make up, great accessories and unpredictable style!! Never afraid of giving anything a TRY!!
I love her DIY body chain necklac e, her fab outfit posts and just about anything of her style and creativity!

The teenvogue intern JazziMcG. She made me fall inlove with the YSL Imperiale Pumps!! Her Alexander Wang DIY socks and most of all her Beauty recommendations. Pisst!! She shares INTERN tips and a whole lot of advice, both beauty and fashion. She simply is a great source of inspiration!

Maegan of Love Maegan - Why buy when you can DIY? She is completely creative blogger at her best!! she DIY's christian Louboutin's Rose Petal Sandals and Clutch, Tom Bins-ish jewelry, feather skirts, tassel earrings, and YSL cage sandals name it!! She does it. =)

Lexy of Quirky Explosion - ahh! I see bright colors and smiles everywhere. She is bubbly and happy when it comes to dressing up, she makes it seem that it's not a big deal, fashion should be fuss free, and she is never afraid to mix and match colors. Perhaps, a happy personality wraps it all up and makes everything work, her outfits are not the make it or break it kind, it's just always working. Most of all, she scores great vintage finds too. I just love lexy's quirky personality.

I love that she makes her own skirts, all the mix of colors and prints in an outfit. (the florals). And yeah, I love that she could draw!! I see a very bright future in her (art/fashion related)

like any other girl, she is determined and goal oriented, that's what I like about Michelle of glistersandblisters. She strives to be on top and SHE IS!! I came across her blog through Mads, I must say, I got hooked instantly!! This 17 year old has a crazy bag and shoe collection!! She is very versatile, she can be a girly girl and a tough chick at any moment. I love that she does not only talk about fashion but also great food. And updating her blog almost always is a MUST!! I just can't stop reading about her.

hey you!!

2010-01-05T02:25:00.001-08:00

Heeey everyone!! I am soo sorry for the very much delay on posts!! School started yesterday and it feels like hell, I have yet too much to handle. First and foremost my thesis which is due on Thursday and I haven't finished doing it yet. Yknow, i have to set my priorities first. I am now waiting for the data results for me to do the last chapters, and my stress buster is ofcourse, posting in my blog and reading all of yours. =)

This is just gonna be quick! I have a roll of photos here that I'd love to share with you guys!! <3

Hand me down

(the gold hardware is FAB, the picture makes it look silver-ish)

In my very lame attempts of Photography - aka taking better than usual shots with my SLR, i have humbly came up with these pictures. I believe there's always a not so good start, but yeah I'M TRYING!!

Lastly, how GORGEOUS are these???!! I very much love in accessories. And stacks of bracelets!! the cuffs and bracelets are waaay awesome, I love how they look, very CHIC and THE RINGS - I DIE!! I am a huge sucker for RINGS!!
TREND ALERT: Stacks of WATCHES. (it's been everywhere)

THANK YOU TO THE GLAMOUROUS MICHELLE OF GLISTERSANDBLISTERS (check her out)

I am overwhelmed of receiving this. WOW =)

THANK YOU AGAIN! <3

p.s. I am currently working on a post for my Top bloggers and I will be posting it soon, it's been long due but I am busy and crazy right NOW!! So yeah SOON.
Thanks for visitng my blog. Leave a comment =)

2010 wishlist

2009-12-31T06:51:00.000-08:00

2010 is just around the corner and I find my self wishing to acquire some of these things. =) well actually this shape collage application online made me gather pictures of the things I'm dreading about. So here I'd like to share it with you...

(click photos to enlarge)

you really can't have everything all at once, so this wishlist is good for a year already, unless something comes up along the way. =)

btw, the shape collage application is so easy to use. try it. and share the world your 2010 wish list too!!

IF EVER (wish list break down)

If I ever surpass my thesis defense, most probably I will get:
1. Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens

If ever it comes in stock:
2. the Louis Vuitton Lovely ballerina shoe from Spring/summer 2010

If ever I graduate in March:
3. the Cartier Roadster, or any of the Cartier watches I might like.

If ever Mom spared some cash:
4&5. Damier Ebony Keepall 50, and Monogram Insolite wallet

If ever I get lucky:
6&7. The Balenciaga city classic or the LV epi noe.

If ever I was the luckiest girl in the world:
8. I get to see the YSL Imperiale pumps waiting for me in Guam or US this summer if ever I get to have a vacation (hoping they're on SALE)

So if ever I was these things, I'd be able to get my hands on the things I'm wishing =)

i just can't get enough

2009-12-29T05:46:00.000-08:00

I never really found the Olsen's attractive before, but I swear I love them to death now. Their style is just simply amazing, and I love how it grew over the years. =)

this is my favorite as well.

I love their extensive collection of shoes, bags and rings!!

will i be more confident if i was thinner?

2009-12-28T06:05:00.000-08:00

I miss being thinner. I hate it when I can not wear most of my clothes, and when I can not wear most of the clothes decently coz I always look too fat. I hate being fat by I am not doing anything about it. When will I start? got to get moving. =( LET FASHION BE A MOTIVATION?

match made in heaven

2009-12-16T05:02:00.000-08:00

these shoes were meant to be mine. they were sold out in most of the stores but still, I was able to get one, and they have it only in my size! wow.

Okay here's the story, I went in the store with hopes I get to see a jimmy choo, I look around, look around, and look around some more, pick up some stuffs and i still kept looking, I have seen this shoes before (online), I fell in love with it, but I never actually thought I'd own it. I saw it on the rack, I picked it up, I tried it on, i didn't really dig it, I thought it was too much for me. I carried it around the store, then I took it back. I looked around again, and I saw a girl trying it on, I fell in love with it, she took it back. I rushed to my mom and I finally brought it home.

back to reality

2009-12-16T04:38:00.000-08:00

Just came back from vacation last Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday were prelim exams, although I survived it all I still do not think I did well. Anyways, it is still not Christmas break for me since I go back to school every so often for my research. I really hope I get it done this week. =( I need rest and update my blog. Gosh.

shirt, Rustan's U. jeans, Kill City. boots, Cotton on.

We stayed at the Venetian.

toxic

2009-12-08T15:42:00.000-08:00

Been really busy this week. Well at least I think so, but yeah I have research to finish which I really haven't started yet. I have all these plans in mind but I just can't seem to find the drive to start. Then, I have this very unexpected trip to Macau on Friday, it really just came out of the blue. Prelim exams will be next week too and I just don't know what to do first. I will probably be back as soon as I get my research starting... pray for me please. =P

Leaving you off with this picture. I am in love with the gold hardware. It is just right fierce for me. I believe the headband is from Givenchy, $500. No friggin' way. But it's love. =) I don't think I could pull this off without looking like a "demon" like EUGENIE NIARCHOS. I'd probably never get tired of this trend.

7 red things

2009-11-30T01:48:00.000-08:00

I was tagged by Mads from Pop your fashion pill (Check out her blog) to name 7 random red things in my room or at hone. Thanks Mads.
At first I thought it was easy, I was like, ahh I can do that fast, I grabbed my camera and started to collect red stuffs from my room, unfortunately I only had 4. So i had to go around the house to look for more... then I found these...

clockwise: prada wallet, devil stuffed toy from watsons, water bottle, brother's deodorant, melissa ultra wedge, dell laptop, gucci summer perfume

I honestly do like the color red but it seems like I'm a bit short with red things. Need to get some more?

anniversary

2009-11-28T07:51:00.000-08:00

Rj and I celebrated our Anniversary. We had dinner at Freddy's.

this is the debut of my nine west shoes. got them 5 months ago and never really got the chance to wear them until today. I must say, they are not comfortable at all. =( i have to break them in first I guess. =p

Say hey, it's Rj.

Here's some old time favorites:

Baby Back ribs

Tenderloin Steak
(it looks like a hamburger Pattie, but it isn't, it actually is good)

We had this for dessert. This is not an all time favorite, it's my first time to try it actually.

Freddy's Magic (something like that, forgot the name)
Ice cream wrapped in thin sponge cake, deep fried and top with whip cream and strawberry and chocolate syrup.

RIP Daul Kim

2009-11-23T03:28:00.000-08:00

In a devastating update on the 20-year-old model's death, it was confirmed that Kim was found hanged in her Paris apartment. Police are working on the assumption that she hung herself.
She will be missed.

Most Filipinos eat steak and almost anything with rice.

2009-11-22T03:55:00.000-08:00

I was craving for steak so asked Mom and Bf that we have lunch at Al Dente, a local italian restaurant coz my taste buds were screaming for their Tenderloin steak.

Mom and Bf ordered their Steak Florentine

2009-11-20T09:05:00.001-08:00

I want black booties with shoe a lace. Something like these, they're all beautiful and it's hard to decide. Which is which.. =(

new shoes

2009-11-20T08:39:00.001-08:00

i haven't used them outside yet but I tried walking in them and they're too comfy. I hope I don't get blisters.

wore this outfit to watch the new moon movie. and the bag above is vintage.

bored much

2009-11-15T03:24:00.000-08:00

I never felt like dressing up these past few days. You know the day when you feel all your clothes are too tight, and you're too fat. I'm kinda' in that mood right now. Outfits this weekend. First picture was today, went out to get groceries and the second picture was when I went to the Alumni Homecoming reunion at our old high school last night.

tell me what you want

2009-11-15T03:04:00.000-08:00

it always amazes me that I get to have remarkably cheap yet stylish shoes from SM Dept. Store. I got these wedges as a back up in lieu of the forever 21 wedges. They're equally comfortable and stylish. =)

I have been relying on this necklace since I got them. They almost always make any boring and plain out fit chic. I was hesitant to get them at first, but I always new I had to have it. =p

2009-11-13T05:25:00.000-08:00

I really have been missing in action lately. Went on a 3 days retreat. and it was the best 3days of my life this year, spent in prayer to the Lord.

will recover this blog soon!

This jean jacket is LOVE. The perfect acid wash color for 80's look?
Jeans were the 80's thing right? correct me if I'm wrong. =)

This vest is vintage, i found at home. It's very exciting. The details are brilliant. =p

outfit post

2009-11-04T06:26:00.000-08:00

These are what I call shoe outfits. You make the clothing revolve around the shoe. hehe Most of us do that, eh?

this is a shirt dress, with BAT WING sleeves. I never knew I had it all this time. It looks bodycon too.

I paired with the ultimate leather vest, one wrong thing though, the sleeves rolled up. Bad try? it really seemed to be a good pair. =(

the shirt is rad, I admit. you always get something awesome inside granny's closet. =)

Forgive me for the poor photo. But yeah, here they are. Got them custom made from Soule Phenomenon, I must say they have met my expectations and they are comfortable. Thanks to Nicole! They came in yesterday and I do not know where and how to wear them yet. I will come up with something soon though!

quick post of everything

2009-10-30T05:47:00.000-07:00

Had a very short trip to Manila last Tuesday, almost half of the day was consumed by insane traffic. We went from Pasay to Ortigas. For lunch, we had Persian food at Arya in Podium, I was at first pretty sceptical about it and all, but after the food came, it was satisfyingly good. After which, went for a little shopping at Greenbelt.

this Kabab platter was surprisingly good.

the lamb was okay.

different kinds of Kababs.

their rice was different. It goes well with the Kabab though. It doesn't taste as bad as it looks.

some shopping at Greenbelt.

and more shoes

2009-10-29T08:37:00.000-07:00

Finally got this pair. Actual picture will be posted soon. I love them!

2009-10-28T10:13:00.000-07:00

Very happy with them!

2009-10-28T09:26:00.000-07:00

It was a friend’s birthday, we went to dinner. Hit the local club after, they were celebrating the club’s anniversary. Double bash. It was kinda’ great night, lots of good food. =)

Anyways, been all over cat/leopard prints lately. they send out a fierce signal, they make me feel tough yet sexy. I don’t know weird but I love it. Although I literally fear CATS!!!

I finally got to use my Escada bag. It adds color to the plain black and white get up.

style bunny

2009-10-25T06:23:00.000-07:00

Revival of head bands = Bunny Ears from Louis Vuitton Autumn (Fall)/ Winter 09/10

They're cute and all but I don't see my self wearing them

How to wear it

Do: go for tousled bedhair, a simple up-do, or 60's sex-kitten voluminous locks; be fashion-forwards, daring, and confident; have fun with it.

Don't: spoil it by wearing cheap costume props. The appeal is in the luxury. This doesn't necessarily mean spending bucketloads, just choosing quality materials and well-crafted accessories.

Do: wear it for a night out, day at the races, and any fun or frivolous activity. A big set of bunny ears is probably not so great for the office.

Don't: wear it with outfits that are too cutesy or girly; it's a fine balance between smoldering sexiness and girly innocence that makes this trend so workable.

patched jeans

2009-10-25T06:13:00.000-07:00

Say good bye to ripped jeans. Hello patched jeans. They're equally super.

And the current style sightings: patched jeans with boyfriend blazer

Rad and random

2009-10-25T03:31:00.001-07:00

I have been lazy to dress up lately (thus, the lack of updates). I have been wearing short/ capri pants with a tee repeatedly. Last Saturday was an exception of course, I was dragged into a very instant night out with my friends. I didn't have anything club worthy to wear. The local club even had a Halloween party. What the heck. And again, I wore my forever 21 wedges, I opted for comfort. I gotta find a new staple shoe before it breaks. HAHA

Jimmy Choo for H&M

2009-10-22T04:38:00.001-07:00

I was psyched. I just came across the Jimmy Choo for H&M look book. Okay, so I am not really a big fan of Jimmy Choo, but what the heck. Him for H&M sounds pretty cool, prices are quite reasonable, aren't they?
Here are some pieces I like:

the purse above reminds me of this: this one is the expensive one, Julia Roitfeld's purse

Lamb that melts in your mouth

good bunch of japanese food

heavenly desserts

good old roast beef

cold cuts and cheeses with olives

truffles in love

healthy appetizers

very sinful chocolate mud cake

lamb, paella negra, chicken for starters...

Make your mouth water with a dinner at The Promenade.

saturday dinner

2009-10-03T07:21:00.000-07:00

My brother, Rj and I went to a buffet dinner at the Promenade. They have the most decent buffet I have ever been to here in Iloilo. My internet is insanely slow right now, maybe because of the weather. Ugh!! I will post more pictures perhaps tomorrow.

lace up fascination

2009-09-30T05:19:00.000-07:00

I'm torn between these two, they remind me pretty much of Anne Demeulemeester's from lace up beauties. I ended up getting the white one after several votes from friends...

I want these cool looking booties too. but they're too pricey for the brand and how they look (material and all). still having second thoughts.....

I have always wanted my own leather jacket. I knew i had this jacket from my grandmother but i never thought it was wearable, i have always thought of it as too big and with very wrong color. Unfortunately I live in a tropical country and a suburban area where there is no freakin’ way they’d sell leather jackets at any boutique, except thrift stores.
Well today, I gave it a shot since I really can’t fight the urge of not having a leather jacket. and found out it’s something. Plus it matches the color of the pumps i got a few months back which i haven’t worn still.

tee, sm basics. shorts, vanilla star. shoes, cutesylicious. accessories, Gorgeous.

I got this skirt made from a local tailor, unfortunately she was not able to get my instructions right, I was kinda’ disappointed. HAHA. I will be bringing it to another tailor for alterations. I still like the color of the skirt though. I paired it with this shirt coz i have nothing else in my closet i could grab fast. I wasn’t even able to roll up the sleeves. Ugh!

I have not been updating much lately since first, I have accomplished my long time wish, to hit the gym. Every time I arrive home I feel very tired, plus I have to do some school stuffs. You know, school always go first. Second, i really did not know what to write, I want soo many things, I have tons on my checklist but I do not seem to accomplish all of it. Enough of my boring life. Anyways, I went through old folders and saw a picture of my OLD self, when I was 10bls lighter.

DIY: Studded Belt

2009-09-21T06:05:00.000-07:00

I wanted a cinch, I found everything that was being sold over rated and so I decided to make one my self. Here's what I used:
1. Black thread and a needle
2. Gold round/ dome shaped buttons
3. Elastic cinch/ waist belt

THE END PRODUCT

I am not quite satisfied with this yet, I still have to make some revisions and fixing the flaws, you know getting things straight but I quite dig them. =)
