Blues

What I wore for running errands earlier today...

What I wore: Denim on denim...

This is the first time i ever tried the denim on denim look...

I saw this floral denim shirt a few days before my birthday and instantly thought, 'birthday gift to self'! Luv it!

What I've been wearing - White halter top

When i have something new, i tend to wear it repeatedly... Take this satiny white halter top for example, which is so breezy and comfy to wear when it's 30+degrees outside... I just added a scarf for a different look, it's perfect to pair with anything! (FYI: I have another one in green ;-)

I really love my --- cropped denim jacket!

I just love it when you can get so much out of one article of clothing!

My cropped denim jacket has been a staple item during the colder months, I've worn it with dresses - minis and maxis, tunics, shorts, leggings you name it! And it always worked with almost everything, don't you just love when that happens? 

I do.

What I wore - Trip to Dafen Art Village

What I wore: [02.02.12]

Old tunic [circa 2009], see worn here

Cropped denim jacket [really old, circa 2006 - worn many, many, many times!] here, here, here, here and here

Black leggings, worn here

Riding boots, new - it was already too late before I realize that it was not made for 

walking long distances =( My feet was in serious pain when we got home!

Oh, the sacrifices you go through for fashion's sake!

Hubs and I went to Dafen Art Village just 10 mins. from our area. It is a village where most of the people who live there are artists, painters, sculptors, carvers etc. The whole village is transformed into a huge outdoor gallery, even the buildings are dressed in awesome colors, it's amazing! 

Here are some of the snapshots I wanna share with you...

A big sculptured hand holding a paintbrush will welcome you at the entrance of the village.

 Creating art/painting is their basic livelihood, they sell their work for really cheap prices... We've seen a couple painting that we'd like to buy when we come back there.

What I wore - Trip to Happy Valley

It's still holiday this whole week for the hubs and son, we went to Happy Valley theme park here in Shenzhen City yesterday.

What I Wore -- Christmas Day 2009

[sorry for the grumpy look, it was cold but the sun was fierce that day...]

I have been going through my photo files to clean up a bit and look what I found...

I didn't think i have blogged about this photo and i kinda' liked my outfit here.

This photo was taken Christmas of 2009 in HK.

What I wore:

Cropped jean jacket

Long black tee from H&M

Black shorts underneath

Teal tights

Black lace-up boots

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 ;-)]

Romping in denims and shopping...

This photo is old, taken around Sept last year,

i put it up because I saw this pic of Audrina Patridge



My outfit inspiration



wearing denim rompers almost identical as mine...

 ... and I am getting so inspired by the perfect weather we're having at this time, and though it still gets a little chilly in the afternoons and at night, i am so excited and already looking forward to summer [but not the heat though!]...

And eventhough I still have clothes that are dying to make their spring debut,

i'm excited to shop for summer outfits!

And shopping I went... I was able to cross-out a few items in my spring summer must-have list -- bliss!

And as if I don't have enough wedge shoes to wear for spring and summer, I got another one -- a cork wedge! in a very yummy spring color [separate post for that *wink*], a cut-out ballerina flats in blue, a couple of comfy leggings, a white ruffly top with a cute back, a lime green spring cardigan, slim belts in diff. spring/bright colors and a black statement belt I intend to wear with the dress that hubby bought for me (yup, he buys me dresses -- bought me 2, and a week prior, he got me a black tee from Zara,
 he's that awesome!)

**pictures later -- camera is with hubby in Shanghai**

Too-short a skirt?



denim minis + ruffly skirt



I bought this denim minis last fall without trying it on, (what? i know, who does that right?) Although the fit at the waist was fine, i find it too short for comfort :-(

...but i'm not willing to part with it without any last-ditch effort... so, i attempted to rescue it from being dumped at the 'to give' box by wearing it with another skirt underneath (i had a ruffly black skirt which is perfect!)

What do you think? Still too short? Leggings to the rescue?

Shopping with my Nanay...

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!

Ripped!

Here's another stripey item from my closet...

 Occassion: Holiday Shopping [12.21.2010]

[Very casual, jeans, cardi and ballet flats [easy to take off when trying on shoes ;-) ]

I thought it was a little warmer today than usual so I just put on my white H&M tee and topped it with my striped black & gray cardi and wrapped a lilac scarf around my neck... and then I'm good to go!

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?
