Hi from Manila!

Starting my new journey back here with my loved ones whom I’ve neglected for months now. I spent the next couple of days eating all my favorite Pinoy foods here in “the land of pork” and basically just enjoying my time with everyone back home.

I’m a firm believer that with the highest of highs come the lowest of lows. While spending an afternoon at the mall with my family last Saturday afternoon, I had my wallet stolen from me. It is one of those situations where you had to be there, to understand just how unexpected it was. Not to mention the ninja skills the thief must have to have taken my wallet out of my bag without me even realizing it. I only realized that my wallet’s gone (along with my IDs, bank cards and cash) upon reaching home :S

I feel like I purged every stress and worry instantly during that following day, and hopefully paid karma ahead for a wonderful trip from here on in. I spent the next day wandering Manila feeling refreshed and extremely grateful for how lucky I am and how things could always have been so much worse. I’m hanging on to a comforting reminder of a quote I always say that how this could be “a blessing in disguise” ☺

Spring Colors is still IN!

Hey there! I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last update :( I'm horrible at this!! But i'm not even going to start explaining. I've used up every possible explanation there is, so i'll just carry on with my long overdue blogpost.

2 days ago, I was at MBS (again). I decided to wear my mint green pants paired with pink peplum top for that smart casual look. Majority of the restaurants in MBS would require you to be in such dress codes. I decided to put my hair into a scorpion braid so I don't look like a mess with my hair all over the place!!

Peplum Top and Mint Pants from H&M  

Clutch and Flats from RUBI

I'm so happy I got those flats for 10bucks! I've been looking for that classic pair in a longest time but all were over 20! It's absurd to spend 40 bucks on a pair of flats I think, so I never bought one. But when I saw this pair on the sale rack and the only one left in my size I gave no second thoughts, they have matching clutch too! Hehe. I LOVE SALES!! 

NEW IN MY CLOSET

(This is a super delayed post)

Hello Lovelies! Look at what finally came in my mail today ...

I used to shop online a lot! Used to because I stopped after being disappointed twice... thrice... many times!! The clothes always looks so good online, but when my packages arrived, I am disappointed with the ill fitting clothes and cheap fabrics :(

Then a friend of mine introduced ASOS. It is an online shop from UK, selling the latest trends at affordable prices with great return policy too! But still being on the safe side I decided to forgo clothes and indulge myself on accessories and shoes :D

ASOS Heart Rings $13.11

French Connection Envelope Snakeskin Clutch $40.43 

Miss KG Hoxton Beaded Platforms $54.64

My favorite purchase for the month of August is definitely this new Miss KG heels. I can't wait to wear this babies :) Follow me on twitter and instagram for daily updates!! Loves you! :)

POLKA DOTS

I love weekday offs. And fortunately for me both my best friends are in the business industry so I get to have their company. Today we decided to hit the beach and spent the entire day at Tanjong Beach Club. Such a chill place to be in on a tuesday afternoon. I love! :)

 

Yummy beach snacks. Mango Margarita, Crab Dips, Truffle Fries, TBC Salad and Prawn Spaghetti. Yes for us three only. Haha.

  
Florals overload? Haha. I love how colorful the both of them are.

Polka dots on polka dots, I didn't think it would work out but it surprisingly did! I guess print on print is not an issue anymore. The same as color blocking used to be baduy but very fashionable now. And as if I have not enough dots on me, I decided to accessorize my outfit with this very cool Eton John shades from Eleventh. Yes the three of us have matching shades, lol. Get yours now! :)

Little Lady

Here's what I wore last Saturday. One of my favorite trend this season is Lace. Love it, adore it, wish I could buy every thing made out of it! In fact, I can imagine my future wedding gown to designed with lace. There is just something very romantic and lady like about it :)

It's hard to decide what to wear with the bipolar weather. Do you dress up for a rainy day / sunny? Oh the dilemma! "The trick is to find pieces in your wardrobe that suit the hot humid sun and dark pouring rain" - Kryz Uy. 

Here's my take on it. You can never ever go wrong with a Little White Dress. It is suitable for any kind of weather, any time, anywhere, any occasion. It is the most versatile piece of clothing a girl could have. Here, I styled it with my flower gold necklace for that sophisticated look, my wedge shouts summer and my scarf perfect for the light drizzle that day. This days I make sure I have a cardigan in my bag just in case it starts pouring. What about you, how would you dress up for this kind of weather?  

WEDNESDAY AT NASSIM ROAD

I'm getting used to this, it's definitely becoming a habit of mine to take an outfit shot every time i'm out of the house. Which is good because i'm inspired to be at my best each and everyday... even on lazy days like today :)

  
It was a chill Wednesday. One thing I love about my job is being able to get a weekday off. Day Offs are much appreciated when everyone else around you is rushing and stressing with work. Yes, and what better way than to spend an off day in a pool, away from the hustle and bustle of it all.

  

Gold. Adds class even to the simplest outfit. And of course to follow this year's summer trend, bright colors for my sandals and bag (although they're not exactly neons). My Boracay beach bag has been in my wardrobe for too long now, I thought I'd bring it out for some sunlight... and because a part in me still misses Boracay very much.



What do you think?

Last Friday Night

Last Friday night yeah we danced on tabletops and we took too many shots. Think we kissed but I forgot ...

Last Friday night yeah we maxed our credit cards and got kicked out of the bar...

OKAY well my friday night was not as wild as Katy Perry's one was, but it was a fun night out with friends nonetheless. I've missed clubbing, but it wasn't like how it was before. The crowd was way younger than me, the place was practically filled with 18 years old boys and girls. Still I had fun pretending to be "young" again and watch silly kids get their ass drunk. But I guess i won't be going back anytime soon. Had just about enough fun and clubbing for that one night :) How was your Last Friday Night?

In a lovely twist of tradition, these Forget Me Not rings designed by Brooklyn-based designer Kiel Mead serve as a permanent reflections and celebration of memories.

I have never been a fan of couple rings, but these I LOVE! It's the cutest thing i've ever seen this year. I love it too much i'm looking for 101 reasons to purchase one for myself, but I guess it's still better to received it as a gift from someone. Don't you agree?

BLUE HUES

Went to visit my brother's school today. Back when I was in Poly (College) I was always wearing a cardigan for the simple reason that sleeveless are not allowed in school. So when I was dressing up for today and thinking what is "School Appropriate Clothing" I came up with this. Conservative & Comfy.







This pair of shoes are over worn. Flat kung flat!

CARDIGAN: FOREVER 21 / DRESS TURNED INTO A SHIRT: PENIWERN / PANTS: ACK RIBBON / FLATS: PARISIAN / NECKLACE: SM ACCESSORIES

OOTD: PINK & FLORAL

Lately the weather here in Singapore has been unbearable! It's not just the heat of the afternoon sun but the humidity throughout the day. I can't look at my jeans without feeling uncomfortable, so those have been kept on my bottom drawers for now. So these past few days I've been living on mostly on shorts.

For a casual brunch with my girlfriends I opted for this feminine floral blouse with a crisp high wasted shorts. And to go along with this year's summer trend, I added a touch of neon in my outfit with my bag/clutch from H&M. Never underestimate the power of shoes! It can totally change the look of the whole outfit- from casual to dressy. What do you think?
