Birthday loot!

This is a late post... I already had this ready for posting a month ago and suddenly clicked the discard button accidentally! I already typed a novel (I think!) I hate when that happens! But anyway, I'm giving this post another go...

It was my birthday last month and I got a quite a few loots, some of them gifts to self, some were birthday gifts from my two guys...

 If you know me well enough, you'll know that I'm a sucker for accessories!

Cuffs and bracelets in group are a local find, the mint necklace was a great find at H&M (on sale really cheap!), the layering necklaces are purchased separately at a local store and the black bib statement necklace was also purchased at a local accessories store I frequent...

Tops and scarves from H&M

Floral denim button-down top, love this! (I recently wore it denim on denim and it was cute!)

The snow globe was a gift from Gabe, the pearl earrings and the SHU UEMURA lash curlers were from the hubs (well, he initially was gonna buy me any shoes of my choice but I told him to buy me the shu uemura lash curlers instead =), and I just had to have 2 aviators from H&M, why not? It was my birthday remember?

Layering necklaces

Just how cute are these necklaces? I just love the bone-shaped necklace filled with blings, reminds me of my Britney love =)

I also couldn't leave behind the other one and so I got them both! 

Perfect necklaces for layering!

Gifts to self

Two Sundays ago was my birthday and it was a working (kinda') birthday (we did some product shots for the shop) but since my two boys were with me, it was fine...

And because I was working on my birthday, I thought I deserve some gifts...

Since the shop opened, I have always been drawn to anything 'teal/turquoise/aqua' (sorry I can't recognize which is which, *grin*) being the shop's color... I think I just wanna wear the color anywhere I go, talk about a walking advertisement haha!

Don't you just love that cute little teal flats? It's so comfy and really really light so it went home with me! And my arm candies? Luv it! 

What I wore - Afternoon date with the hubs

Occasion: Afternoon date with the hubs

What I Wore: 

Navy stripes loose top 

(available for pre-order at my shop in various colors - navy/white, blue/white,peach/white)

Peach skinny jeans 

(also available at here)

Accessories (here)

New home for my blings and baubles

It has been eight months since the move yet I still haven't got a place for all my accessories, and they are tucked in every nook and cranny of our present house... which makes dressing up and accessorizing quite tough since I cannot see them all, so I usually just pick up whatever is within arms reach... 


Yesterday, I had the urge to organize them...

I simply used an IKEA dish rack/dryer that's lying around.

It looked like this before at our old rented flat [see post here]


 

and now, here it is!

A close-up of my Juicy Couture laptop bracelet! Cute!
I have it for four years! Love it!

Close-up of another Juicy charm bracelet...
I'm happy to see them all!

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...

The 'key to my heart' necklace...

Make a statement!

Let your accessories do the talking for you!

To maximize the full potential of any outfit, it's important to accessorize. With statement-making jewelry everywhere, upping the glam-factor of your look is now as simple as throwing on a bib necklace over almost any top.
[Now, I don't remember where i got that!] 

This necklace says a lot, right!

But it doesn't even have to talk,

it just stares right at ya! And then you fall in love, just like that!

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!!!!

House of Harlow necklace knock-off

Have you seen the Black Resin necklace from House of Harlow?

Well, here it is!

I found a cheap knock-offs, only US$2, can you believe it?

Beach Outfit Inspiration No. 3

Green and yellow, very summer! Plus gold accessories, i like!

Green & Yellow by Minni featuring Vanessa Bruno Athé dresses

'Bling' it on!

Amy Adams' necklace and mine.. [my necklace - H&M]

i love finding pix of celebrities wearing a particular item same as/identical

to the one I have...

...such as the 'key' pendant & necklace Amy Adams is wearing.

[it flatters me no end that I kinda' exhibit some fashion sense as some hollywood celebs do!]

Eye-candy

Accessories make a big impact on a somewhat 'blah' outfit... I love wearing accessories that I sometimes feel 'naked' without them...

[colorful bead and chunky necklaces - price ranging from $1.50 to $6]
