Just Like That

I know, I know... I will never pose this way again, EVER!!! LOL! 

 ... so it's now Thursday!!! :D I couldn't be happier!!!

Ok, so that's a real sign that I really am stressed at work. I always cannot wait for the weekend to come. :( I love my job. I love my co-workers. I love my bosses. But come on, sometimes you cannot just love the fact that you have to go to the same office 5 days a week. Or maybe it's the kind of work that I do? I don't know. I have to stop blabbing now. But again, I still love what I do. ♥

Speaking of loving what you do, for the past few months, I've been contemplating about venturing into a new career. I am very, VERY, very much interested in make-up and cosmetics. I like putting make-up on myself and on other people. I have watched hundreds of tutorials, read numerous tips and tricks and practiced make-up application. Seriously, if I have the resources, I will enroll myself to a make-up school. But... yeah... I cannot do that now. I have other financial responsibilities that I have to face.

Ok... enough!!!

For now, I'll be enjoying the rest of the day... and day dream at the same time. ;)

I See Stars

 

Tried belting the cardigan as well. Which is better? ♥

I love wearing cardigans. Most of the pieces I own actually came from thrift stores. I believe I only have a couple of cardigans that I got brand new from the mall. My reason being is simple: I like the selection of cardigans in thrift store waaaaaaaaaaaaay better. Plus, most are over-sized, which I love.

The cardigan and skirt in the photo are both thrifted. Who wouldn't love the beautiful star prints in the skirt. When I saw it in the thrift store rack, I knew I just had to get them. And since the fabric is actually see-through, I had to wear something underneath to hide what needs to be hidden. LOL! It does have a black lining on the inside but it's too short. Anyways, I still love 'em.

Happy hump-day to all! ♥♥♥

Pearls and Mustard

Another thrift find like this pretty mustard cardigan will be abused again. I love how the color instantly brightens up my complexion as well, or... maybe that's just me.

Almost two years ago, our office had a very strict business casual dress code, hence, I had to gear up on formal accessories as well. I had tons of necklaces like this, pictured above. And now that the dress code has lowered down a few notches, I seldom had the chance to wear them. But last week, after sorting out all of my old accessories, I realized that I have to show them love once again. :)

Hope everyone is having a good day. :) ♥♥♥

Sunny, Rainy, Crazy

I can still clearly remember mentioning that I will let my shorts and skirts rest in my closet, since the rainy season has started in the country. But I'm pretty certain that summer just came strutting by this morning that I was forced to wear this sorta outfit to work. Yes, it was sweltering hot during my commute and guess what... when I finally arrived to my office, the clouds were already dark, which was partnered by clashes of thunders.

WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES, YA'LL! :P

So it's finally Friday! Yay! Can't wait to sleep a lot tomorrow. :D

Have a relaxing weekend to all.♥♥♥  

First Come, First Serve!



The lovely pearl details. They are perfectly stitched so it stays put.


I got this shirt from my favorite thrift store.

I was checking out this rack of clothes, which probably stretched about 10 feet long. While doing so, my eye caught glance on this shirt being checked out by another lady (who's actually dressed in a gyaru outfit - cute!), and was situated in another rack across the room. She intently looked at it, even tried to "fit" it by placing it against her torso. I was thinking, damn, I should've started with THAT rack first. Oh well. BUT THEN, my heart literally skipped a beat (okay, that was too much, but you get the point - LOL!) when she returned it back to the rack! Guess she didn't like it after all? Good for me, 'cause I do.♥

True story. :)

It's mainly the wet season here already, so my shorts adoring phase must be put into a halt. Will embrace my jeans and leggings for now.

Happy Thursday to me and you! ♥♥♥

Grays and Studs

For the nth time, I have found a piece of clothing in my closet that I have already forgotten about. This skirt that I got from 168 Mall in Divisoria only cost me 150 pesos two years ago. :) And lo and behold, this is the very first time I wore it. :)

I have completely forgot that I have this and I'm really glad I found this again.♥ Can you see the details at the bottom of the skirt? It's so cute... at least for me, it is.

And oh, I coloured my hair with medium blonde. I used the one from Revlon Colorsilk. :) I LOVE the results!

Now for the (very simple) accessories:

By the way, this outfit is very much inspired by this wonderful lady from this blog. I am completely in love with her style, as well as the photos she shares in her site. And I really love the colour of her hair ~ hahahaha ~ I'm so shallow like that!♥

Happy humpday to everyone!♥♥♥

Oh Summer Time!

I used to hate this beautifully printed blouse that I got from a thrift store ages ago. It's too long. It's sorta see-through. The fabric makes my skin itchy at the end of the day. Aaaaaand, since it is a long button down, I only wore it with black tights.

This morning, while rummaging through my closet, I saw this again and wondered why it was still there. Hehehe I really thought I gave it away already. Then, I fell in love once again with its beautiful prints. It is perfect for summer!♥

I love summer. I know that summer here in the country can get waaaaaay too hot, but I still love it. As for dressing up, it gives you this license to be as colorful as you like (although I got a few lingering stares since I paired this outfit with bright pink shoes). Heehee!

Happy Friday, everyone!!! ♥♥♥

Blues :)

Our company celebrated its first anniversary the other day. We were asked to wear blue ♥ for it was the company's color. When I got home, I realized that I did not have a lot of blue shirts. :( I only had this checkered button down short from ages ago, so I just paired it with a nice denim jean shorts, then sported light blue nails that went along with my turquoise (almost blue ~ hehe!) earrings. Done!

So, is it just me or the weather is getting bipolar??? Noontimes are scorching hot and evenings are ridiculously chilly! I swear, dressing up for work can be a dilemma for me everyday.

Anyways, I hope that everyone is having a great week. :) ♥♥♥

Because I Can

Mom looked puzzled as she saw me today in this outfit. She went like, "Nung Monday ka pa naka-shorts ah!" (You've been wearing shorts since Monday!) Well, Ma, we don't have a dress code in the office - yay! (Only flip flops are not allowed) And also, It. Is. Super. Hot. These. Days. Even if the vehicle I took to work was air-conditioned, it was not enough. The temperature was just unbearable.

On the other news, I just got these flat shoes for 299 pesos! :)  It's from Penshoppe. It was originally 500+ pesos but it was marked down to the aforementioned price. I would not have the interest in buying it if it wasn't for the huge red 50% off tag. I love sales.

It's 2 days to go before the weekend! ♥♥♥ 

There's Always a First

It's the first time I ever wore this kind of shorts. How exactly do you call them? I really don't know. Got this pair from a thrift shop and decided to give it a try.

It's very comfortable and breezy! Perfect for summer, I guess. :)

Be safe, everyone! ♥

P.S. Let's all pray for our neighbors in Japan. May they be able to survive this wrath. 

Something Borrowed and Something New

Newly found, that is! Last night, I was rummaging through some rarely used bags and saw these pretty earrings I have owned ages ago. I think I only used it twice or thrice since....2006??? So when my eyes laid on them again, it was like looking at a beautiful accessory for the first time! Then I told myself, "Imma wear this tomorrow!!!". And I did!

It's tribal-ish, no? :) 

I love long earrings! ♥ 

And even if it's not that interesting, (LOL) I'd like to post my outfit for today.

Borrowed: Cardigan
New (found): Earrings

I could live in denim shorts forever! I just wish that bruise on my upper left thigh will disappear fast. :(

Happy Thursday!☺♥☺♥☺

Weather Must Be a Woman...

 ... crazy! I normally would wake up with an almost feverish temperature and would sleep in evening like it's snowing outside. I don't have problems with the temperature itself. My problems start when I am about to choose my outfit for the day. Should I wear something cool? (I usually leave for work at lunch time = HOT) Should I wear a jacket? (I go home just before midnight = COLD)

Almost all the time, I would end up with something like this:

Cardigan, floral shirt = thrifted; denim shorts cutoffs = Lee (DIY)

It's like summer in the morning and winter (ok, rainy season) in the evening. o_0

50th Avenue: My Favorite Fashion Stop

I'm sure a lot of fashionista ladies (and gents) in the metro know about the 50th Avenue in Robinson's Galleria. :D It was recently temporarily closed for renovation and now that it's open once again, I cannot help myself but drop by the place every so often. The place is pure fashion bliss! It's almost like an upscale tiangge (flea market).

There are also a lot of stalls (more than before, and oh, with awesome interior designs) that offer great, and not so mass produced pieces (yey!), from bags, to clothes, to accessories and shoes.

And speaking of shoes, behold, my newest babies! <3

These shoes are an unexpected purchase. I was looking for cute skirts around the area and when I saw these, oh my, I thought I just had to have it.

By the way, it's from this quaint little store called Cocobelle. :D They also have awesome skirts!

I wore it with this outfit to work last Thursday and they were absolutely comfortable! :D

shorts: YRYS; tank top: Robinson's dept store; cardigan: thrifted

Ho ho ho! Few more days before Christmas! :D :D :D

Cheap Find: Belts

Went to the ever popular store Saizen to buy some cute nail polishes and just like what usually happens, I ended up buying more than what I planned.

In the men's accessories section, I saw these plain but nice looking belts. Then I told myself "I have to get these!"

I got a black and a brown belt. Only for 85 pesos each!!!

And here's me wearing the brown belt already. :D I know I have humungous legs but I don't care! LOL

Happy weekend, everyone! <3
