What I've been wearing...

I have been out of the blogland for a long while, just got back from a six-week much-needed vacay in the Philippines....

Meanwhile, while I get back to my old routine, please delight yourselves in these iPhone shots of what I've been wearing while on vacay and after I got back here...

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!

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.

What I wore - Plaid shirt + New shoes

This photo, according to the hubs should have been a reject since my right arm is missing (in the world of modelling or photography, maybe it's a no-no?) but I like this pic so it's here in the blog, (I am one stubborn wife!)

What I'm wearing: [11.20.11]

Plaid shirt (also worn here)

Skinny jeans (H&M), seen here & here

Magenta tube (worn underneath the plaid shirt)

My new sandals

(Disclaimer: This post features a couple pic of close-up of feet, so be warned!)

 These are my new shoes and my new favorite as of the moment, it gives me an additional 3 to 3 and a half inches of height but does not give me any pain or blisters at all!

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.

Meet my new wedge!

It's a cheaper alternative of this black wedge from JC Penney...

Here are my other black wedge inspirations...

1. Wedge peeptoe booties - Zara
2. Rope wedge sandals - Target
3. Ankle-strap wedge sandals - Bershka
4. Cork-wedge -Zappos
5. Espadrille frayed wedge - Steve Madden

I Really Love My... Gold gladiator sandals!

'nuff said! These pictures speak for itself...

I had my money's worth on them, they are basically my go-to shoes during the summer months, it goes with everything I own -- shorts, jeans, dresses, leggings, you name it, i've worn them with this shoes. I actually bought 2 pairs, one in metallic pink seen in this post.

To say i love them is an understatement!

Too many shoes, so little time!

Guilty as charged! I'm addicted to buying shoes I don't wear enough...

[Some even have tags on them! Never been worn...] 

It's starting to pile up but I just can't bear to part with them :-(

Pictured are not even half of them, but who's counting?

Go ahead and judge me!

Must-have shoes this FALL

Beach Outfit Inspiration No. 1

Sorry if it may seem to you that I've been neglecting my blog, I'm not... Blogspot.com is having issues with postings lately, i just don't know why...

Anyway, I have been browsing Polyvore lately for beachwear coz we're gonna be hitting the beach this weekend, YAY! I'm so excited!

This is beach outfit inspiration no. 1 - it's nice and stylish and I think it'll look good on beach pictorials and some lounging around, but I don't know if I'm gonna go for this look - the dress is so high-maintenance [mental note to self: Be reminded that you got an 11-year old and a puppy! LOL!] I think I'm gonna need something I can run around with... Need to browse some more, be sure to drop by again coz I'll be posting more outfits in my future posts!

"So nice, buy it twice!"

When I told you I don't have problem buying multiples, this is what I mean... When I see something I like and if I can't decide which color to get, i usually just go ahead and buy both! That is if and when it's really, really cheap!

....coz If I don't, then when I get home, i'd be thinking about it nonstop until I want to kick myself in the butt for not buying it in the first place... Hah!

I think what I have is a shopping problem! A serious one...

[i just don't think i'll ever want to recover! *wink wink*]
