Turquoise necklace

How absolutely gorgeous is this turquoise necklace?

I've been trying to snag one at H&M eversince the start of summer but despite going there a few times, I haven't been quite lucky...

J. Crew also came up with their version and I think I'm loving this color more, it's a lighter color than the one from H&M above and

it comes in other colors as well...

Totally 'bumps up' a simple tee...

What I wore - Trip to IKEA

It was very hot last Sunday [yes, even when the A/C is turned on], the hubs suggested we go hang out someplace cooler... I was glad he said that because I've been itching to go to IKEA ever since last weekend and he said, as if reading my mind, "let's go to IKEA!" 

So, to IKEA we went and this is what I wore...

I love my "arm party!"

[The watch is borrowed from the hubs ;-)]

Romper times two

Another "So nice, buy it twice!" edition is this romper which I got in coral and green.

Orange you glad

I have a new orange maxi dress/jumpsuit (read here) which I have no idea how to accessorize and what color to complement it with...

After doing some research, I found these for inspirations...

 I would have never thought to pair blue with orange! I didn't know it would go so well together!

I have some ideas in my mind already, i got some blue accessories that I think might work, ohhh so excited!

Also found this outfit of Mischa Barton which is just right within the theme of orange and blue combo...

Stripes times two!

This is one of those "So Nice, Buy It Twice" edition wherein I buy two or more of the same item just in different colors...

I usually do this when I really like a particular item and it's within my shopping budget...

I wore the black&white one on my birthday celeb last year and the blue&white just last month on our usual Sunday lunch out and I have another one in white&pink stripes.

MAXI-mize!

On a recent shopping trip, I came across a MAXI dress just like the one below,

only, it's not really a dress but a jumpsuit and ORANGE just like this one but with a belt...

...and because it's not a typical maxi dress coz it's actually a jumpsuit, I just had to have them!

Long story short, I bought it... I was about to pay when I saw another one in blue, also a maxi dress/jumpsuit, I can't decide which one so I had to buy both, and just as I was about to leave, another dress caught my eye because of the color, it's TEAL  [oh, how I'm loving the color TEAL lately] so naturally, won't pass that one up either...

Bought all three maxis just coz!

That is despite my earlier pronouncements that I have enough maxis already to last me a lifetime!

Now comes the real challenge, how am I gonna style them and what colors goes best with orange, blue and teal!

DIY: Accessories organizer/display

After admitting to all of you how big of an accessories junkie I am in this post, I am now dealing with all the tangled mess that is my 'collection' and decided to do something about it -- ORGANIZE!

And after seeing some inspirations like these, i thought to myself 'how hard could that be?' My mind started working and sorting out some possible option for a jewelry organizer and I found this IKEA dish rack/dryer just lying around in our kitchen waiting to be put to good use!

I turned this...

...into this!

and these...

*drumroll please*

into this...

TA-DA!

I am just crossing my fingers that the adhesives I used will hold up well... it's doing such a fine job so far!

Wanted: Accessories organizer!

I will be the first to admit I have a 'little' obsession with accessories… and by little, I really mean HUGE! My shopping always include a trip to my favorite accesories shop and needless to say, I don't get out of there there empty-handed, my purchases would include at least two statement necklaces, a stack or two of bracelets, throw in some huge statement ring or one-of-a-kind set of earrings.

Over the years, I have amassed quite a collection...  Here are my favorites! (the ones that are not tangled! LOL!) 

It came to a point where it has clearly gotten out-of-control, it has taken up residence in various places like our drawers, bowls, hangers and some are even tangled in random plastic bags and it's a big mess! It's hard to find what I'm really looking for when all the chains and necklaces gets all tangled up like that and I don't wanna spend my precious hours of getting ready just trying to untangle them. It's no fun really. Gives me headache! It would be nice if everything is displayed just like in the pictures below.


Then life would be easier!

What I Wore - Sunday lunch out

Hubby took us out the other Sunday (July 17) because he thought Transformers 3 is already showing in theaters and he wanted to watch it in the big screen, unfortunately, it wasn't showing until the 21st so we just decided to eat lunch at Pizza Hut and go home...

This is what I wore:

Blue & white striped maxi

A&F white flipflops

White accessories: braide bead necklace, pearl earrings, Juicy Couture watch and Juicy Couture stacked bangles

Coz you know, I had to show you my back, and hubby was teasing me, hence the laugh, hahaha!
