What I've been wearing: Denim jacket for summer

Yes, you read that right... I've recently purchased a denim 3/4 jacket and I'm constantly wearing them... I know it's summer but the weather here is like fall, gray skies, gloomy and cool, just perfect for my jacket!

So far, I've worn it three times this week:

I wore it over my black tank dress with statement necklaces and cuffs...

I wore it over my short green summer dress (H&M)...

And over a maxi dress (which I'm lovin'!)...

WIW - Anniversary dinner with the hubs

The hubs and I celebrated our 15 years of marriage last April 28... We had an early dinner at SuperSteak in Coco Park, Shenzhen...

This is what i wore...

It's a season for patterned/printed anything!

Inspired by this outfit from Ann Taylor Loft (i think... I have to look that up!)

Feeling Spring!

Hi y'all! Did you miss me? I know I got a lot of explaining to do, why I wasn't blogging as much... Eversince the shop opened, it ate up a lot of my time and some things just need to take a backseat, blogging included... 

But now I'm back and that's what really matters!

I've noticed I dress more during SPRING... These two outfits was inspired by the lovely weather we're having as of late, not cold anymore but still comfortably cool to wear light cardis... 

And the colors, so spring, dont you think? 

Which one do you like best? 

By the way, I'm selling the skirt at my shop, hop on over there and take a look around!

What I wore -- Colored skinnies part 2

Happy Monday!

My new hot pink skinnies finally got it's FALL/WINTER debut! Yay!

I actually waited for the colored skinnies to go on sale at summer's end so I could get a good deal of 'em coz you know what they say about spending too much money on some trends, not wise, cause it's sure to go as fast as it came... I made it my life's motto, lol... Yeah, hard times does that to you!

I bought 2 (one cobalt blue and this one), I actually wanted to buy one in every color but self-control prevailed... But now, I'm itching to buy one more -- the yellow one to wear with my black & white stripe top and new gray sweater...

What I wore:

Black & white top

Hot pink skinnies

Wedge sandals

What I wore -- Pink + Black & White stripes

Some days I wake up with an outfit in mind and some days I am clueless on what to wear, so I turn to the web for inspiration, this is one of those days...

I was browsing some random blogs and found this cute outfit from a blog called I Am Style-ish, forgive me 'cause I can't find the link to it, I'd put it up as soon as I got it...

What I Wore -- Neon + Stripes @ Gabe's Piano Recital

I wore this last Sunday at Gabe's piano recital... This wasn't my initial planned outfit but it rained, so I just wore this short and striped tee combo... and to add a pop of color, a hot pink slim belt and my neon pink Roxy bag... and my new black wedge seen in this post.

B&W

This is my outfit last Sunday 05.01.11 when hubby and I had a rare chance to go out by ourselves -- it is some sort of our 'anniversary date'... And yeah, I went [kinda'] all-out for my man wearing short-shorts! [I knew he love my legs!] 
It is now too hot to wear jeans or leggings.

This outfit was not planned, i just threw it all together and liked the outcome, I'm not sure about the sandals though, I should've worn this wedge for added color and visual interest to a somewhat plain black and white combo but since I knew there'd be lots of walking involved, i decided to go with comfort...

The white lace top is thrifted -- only P65.00 or $1.50... SCORE!

My new loot --- a bib necklace

I have a confession to make...

I'm not much of a earring or bracelet wearer, but...

I am big on necklaces --- the statement kind...

when I see one, It kinda lures me into buying even if I already have a similar one...

 i think the above necklace looks a lot like this one i own but did it stop me? Nah!



[with the whole outfit]



I was just wearing a white tee and skinny jeans and black blazer

and then the necklace to dress it up a notch!

[Notice that I have no other accessory on besides the necklace?

But I did put on my wedding ring and big watch before heading out...]

[I was also wearing this peeptoe booties =]

Shopping with my Nanay...



Occassion: Shopping with my Nanay (02/24/11)



Cropped denim jacket - old, circa 2006

Oh yes, another one of those striped thingy i've gotten addicted to the past shopping season! Please bear with me 'coz there'll be more! I promise!

 I took my mom to the salon yesterday for color and cut and I decided that I needed a cut, so I'm also sporting a new do... Cut a few inches and curled the ends, luv it!

Stripey Outfit No.3

Who says you can't wear shorts in the fall?

In this post, I talked about how i went crazy shopping for stripey outfits and ended up having one too many stripey outfit in my wardrobe, so wearing them and styling them differently becomes a challenge...

Thus, i'd be featuring one stripey outfit at a time in the following posts,

and this is 'stripey outfit no.3

We went to christmas warehouse in SZ city, it suddenly felt like I'm in the middle of Divisoria, sans the garbage!

[stripey outfit no.1]

[stripey outfit no.2]

What I Wore - My Birthday!

Here's another one of those 'stripey' outfit I was telling you about in this post.
Told you they'll keep on comin'!



Stripey outfit no.2

This is what i wore last Sunday, 10.10.10

Black & white striped maxi dress - local shop

A&F flipflops

Multiple chain silver necklace with turquoise flower pin [which i just added for a pop of color]

This time I ditched the pink and gray and gold.

The whole outfit is, believe it or not, only 160yuan [excluding the bag, watch & stunnas] which if converted to peso is roughly around Php1,100.00!

My birthday was last Thursday the 7th, we decided to skip the celebration that day and just planned a birthday lunch with Filipino friends that Sunday after church...

But then again, we still had dinner at our favorite resto after I came back from a day of, what else? SHOPPING!!!!

Outfit Inspiration for Fall - Stripes+Pink+Gray+Denims

I recently been to a shopping trip and all I saw displayed in stores were stripes! Even some of the shoppers were wearing one, either in combo of black & white, gray & white, gray & black, and so I said to myself, maybe i'd buy a few! A few? I ended up buying almost every 'striped' thing I saw...[I hope my husband doesn't get to read this!]

Tsk tsk! I really have a problem, I know! I need a good spanking right now!

So, now that I have one too many striped thing in my closet, how i'd wear them is a dilemma!

And so, when I saw this,

a light bulb inside my head suddenly lit up [I watched a lot of cartoons]...

I instantly thought 'inspiration'!

I especially liked the idea of combining pink, white & gray with a pop of turquoise and gold,

I never would've thought that gold would go nicely with gray...

So, here's stripey outfit no.1!

I modified it a bit since I'm dressing up for Fall... I ditched the gold sandals and put on my slouchy pink/old rose boots with a strip of silver on each side, it's really, really old like 3 years old old, and it's also really, really cheap like Php200.00 cheap! I'm not kidding! I bought it at 25yuan (x6.8 more or less) in March 2007, at the tail-end of winter. It's my all-time favorite boots coz it has wedge heels which adds a good 2 inches to my height but despite that it's very light and comfy to walk on in, and it's pink, of course! Also, I used my pink sweater [also old, 2004 or 2005 can't even remember], in case it gets chilly in the afternoon/night, just wrapped it around my neck, instead of the short-sleeved blouse.

Did I mention that I bought almost every stripey thing i saw? Yes? So, you know this is not gonna be the first and last stripey post of mine that you're gonna see, right?

What I Wore - Family Photoshoot

Last Saturday, hubby was in the mood for an indoor photoshoot of our family... He set up everything including the white wall and lights so it would turn out to look like a pro's work...

It did turned out great! We got lots of compliments from the photos...

Left photo: For daytime wear
Wore it with a fedora hat, gold earrings, and a nude wedge sandals.

Right photo: For a night out
Wore it with a turquoise peeptoe wedge and turquoise bangle for pops of color.

ROMPER Stompin'!

I never really consider myself a romper kind of girl... but after seeing it as the 'outfit of the season' this sweltering heat of summer, it eventually grew on me.... and a 'love affair' between rompers and me started...

I love it because it's so comfortable... and you don't have to worry about
mismatched top and bottom.

The only challenge is when you need to go to the bathroom! *wink*
