Chinese Laundry wedge look-a-like

Chinese Laundry

Look-a-like from Hotwind

I like it, I'm just not that crazy about the color combi so I passed up... 

What I wore - Mother's day

I do not expect gifts for every ocassion (especially after getting an iPhone 4S just recently on our anniversary), don't get me wrong, I love getting gifts but I'm perfectly happy with or without gifts, simple greetings and 'i love yous' work fine with me but i have such a generous husband who loves to spoil us rotten! 

He loves to shower us with gifts!

He gave me a complete outfit from Bershka to wear on Mother's Day... I'm lucky I know!

I 

No relation to fashion whatsoever!

I have finally joined the rest of the world and got my very own iPhone 4S [my anniversary gift from the hubs]!

He had no idea he was creating a monster out of me when he got it, 

I take it everywhere with me, i take pictures of anything and everything! 

To say i love it is an understatement!

And now I'm on Instagram! Follow me!

Decisions! Decisions!

Last Saturday, day before Mother's day, we went malling and I saw these cute wedges, I was not in the market for new shoes as I just recently purchased this sandals but if you've known me a for a while, you'll know that I just can't pass up anything wedge-heeled! LOL, that's the truth! Anything wedge, I have it!

And so, imagine my delight when I saw these! The colors are sooo fun! I had a hard time choosing! I was leaning towards the pink one coz I have lots of nude/neutral-colored wedges already, but I also can't leave the mustard yellow behind... So before I make the wrong decision of buying the wrong one (or buying 'em all) and then suffer from buyer's remorse eventually, I had to get out of there, FAST! Empty-handed!

Which shoes?

I always plan my outfit in my mind but I don't usually lay them out like this, but I need to get the vision out of my head to see if it's gonna work...

Apparently, when I wore it I was not feeling the slim yellow belt and the clutch...

Here's a close-up of the necklace...

I was leaning towards the nude peep-toes but I just had to see how my Bershka wedge would look with the rest of the outfit...

In the end, I wore my flipfops *wink*

Blinged sandals for summer

TREND ALERT - Floral shorts

Shield your eyes! My spring legs are out!

I recently got this floral shorts and I'm having fun pairing it with a lot of other things in my closet, I especially love styling it with fun, pastel-colored belts and I'm having a hard time deciding which one to wear...

It originally came with this slim black belt

I also thought this slim woven neutral belt could work as well!

How about you? Would you wear floral shorts this summer? If shorts does not work for you, floral pants is also a big trend, better try them out!

Another hair disaster!

If you've been a long-time reader of my blog, you'll all know how bored I've gotten with my hair... (If not you can refer to this post.) 

Well I probably finally came at the end of the rope two weeks ago, 
I went to the salon with this picture in my fon.

Long story short (pun intended), the stylist (after he said he understood what I wanted) went to work and cut the bangs too damn short, waaaaitttt! Noooo! and he stopped, but it's too late now! It was too short! There's nothing he can do to undo it... 

I look like Dora the Explorer! 

=(

Another hair disaster... 

Instead of solving my previous hair dilemma, here's another one!

That is the reason why I'm not up to any picture-taking lately or posting WIW for that matter, I'd probably wait until my bangs grow out a little, until then, enjoy other photos for now...

Bejeweled

I'm in the market for new sandals and flats to wear for spring and summer and i've been seeing a lot of bejeweled sandals lately in the blogland... 

Mystique

Kate Spade

Nine West

Rebels

Steve Madden

It's amazing how these lovelies can make your feet look and feel like royalty... it's like a tiara for your feet!

So I also got my own and this is what i got! I love it!

Flatforms

Remember this? I bought them last year at the start of the winter season on sale of course, wore them a few times just before the temperature dropped down and now that it's almost summer, I'm glad I could wear them again, fun huh?

Apparently, they are called 'flatforms'... which I didn't know until recently when I started seeing them around the blogworld...

*Flatforms - a cross between flat shoes and platform shoes. 

Flats and platforms, get it? How cool is that?

Truth be told, I was initially not a fan  because I thought of 'em as clogs or 'bakya' [local wooden slippers worn in earlier times - once the most commonly used footwear in the Philippines before the introduction of rubber sandals. This footwear is made from local light wood like santol and laniti. It is cut to the desired foot size before being shaven until smooth. The side of the bakyâ is thick enough to be carved with floral, geometric or landscape designs. Afterwards, the bakyâ could then be painted or varnished. - wikipedia] and not really seeing them in a stylish way but after seeing them in many fashion blogs it eventually grew on me  and why would It not? It is so comfy and light in every step, I can walk tall and not have to deal with aching soles and ankles after wearing it for a whole day.

Here are some of the styles that I like.

Uhm, can I get them in all colors?

What I wore - Chambray shirt + maxi dress as skirt

Hi y'all, I'm back after a short hiatus in observance of LENT.

Happy Easter! Rejoice, Christ is risen!

This was not my Easter outfit, this was actually last Palm Sunday.

I wore my chambray shirt [yet again - for the 3rd, (or was it 4th?) time since I bought it] and paired it with my striped maxi dress which was worn as a maxi skirt. First time to try and I love it as it gave my butt a nice shape =) photos below as evidence...

I accessorized it with large pearl necklace.

To BUY or NOT to buy!

Sigh! Another wedge! I fell in love again... but I didn't buy it... yet! I really like it, eventhough I already have tons of wedge sandals waiting to be worn and it's also very similar to this... But I really, really like it, should I go back and buy it? Oh decisions, decisions!

What I wore - Stripes.... yet again

It's the weekend and I am so loving the weather! 

In case you haven't noticed, i've been dressing up a lot lately because the weather is so lovely, it inspires me... and I have been wearing stripes lately too!

Note to self: The mirror really needs cleaning - now! 

Hair dilemma...

To say I'm bored with my hair is an understatement.. I've been wanting to change the style sooo bad for a long time now [read here], but not sure what to do with it. It could also be, my hair is tired of all the treatments and stylings in the past, it just wants to be left alone! Poor thing!

But right now, it really does need something, a boost, a shot of confidence.

I'm thinking of getting bangs/fringe, sideswept perhaps and I'm finding a little inspiration from these hairstyles, I'm leaning towards #'s 1 and 4, longer side-swept bangs....

What do you guys think?

DIY necklace tutorial

As promised, here is the tutorial of the blue necklace that I wore here...

I started with 4 individual long strands of beads in different hues of blue

It is actually quite long, so

  take two strands together and make a loop, making it 4 strands,
 do it also with the other two

and then make a knot 

then join the strands together to form the necklace and twist the strands a bit to see all of the colors and voila!

You got yourself a statement necklace!

You can also make it into bracelets

or into another necklace, very versatile huh?

What I wore - Stripes + jumpsuit

This is another copycat outfit from Kendieveryday, [at least the wide-leg jumpsuit]. Yes, you got that right, that actually is a jumpsuit and not pants, i wore a striped tee on top and make it work as pants just like Kendi's, I ditched the blazer as it was a little too warm for that day.

[*Credits to the hubs for these photos]

What I wore - Inspired by Kendieveryday

Have you seen Kendi's blog, I am such a fan! She always inspires me to dress up everyday!

This outfit is one of them... So, how do you think I did? Good? So-so? 

I was also 'smitten' by her two-toned necklace so I decided to do a little DIY necklace which I wore in our recent family photoshoot...

What I wore:

Flowy green dress, worn here

This denim jacket

Fuchsia skinny belt

Could you please just ignore the wrinkles on my dress? I just remember to take a photo after we came home and I already lounged around in the couch, lol!

And I finally got dressed! [What I wore - Chambray Shirt]

I LOVE SPRING! I think it's my most favorite season, fashion-wise.... I get to wear colors - (brights and pastels), patterns - (florals, stripes, plaid, gingham), accessories - (scarves, colorful bangles and statement necklaces), you name it!  



 It's finally getting a little warmer today, the sun is out after days of rain so I'm really excited for the weekend! I guess that's my cue to finally get dressed! I mean other than the comfy PJ's and workout pants I'm living in when it's cold and gloomy...

So, I've been wearing this chambray shirt non-stop, well at least in my mind... I've been planning outfits around it and I'm excited to finally wear it out yesterday grocery shopping.


What I'm wearing:
Chambray shirt, new
Black leggings
Nude wedge sandals 

Note to self: Clean the mirror! =}
