BABY I'M BLUE -- J's cuppacakes


I was strolling around SM Jazz in Jupiter Street when I discovered this really beautiful cupcake store called J's cuppacakes. What struck me the most was the impeccable design and interior that somehow gave off this very dainty and "princessy" vibe and I just couldn't wait to go inside, sit and marvel at the place and try out their food. I ordered the strawberry pavlova and it was as sweet as a lover. It really matched the romantic atmosphere and the deserts that they served. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to hang out with their friends, or for a lovely date, or simply just a place to unwind and eat great desserts. The staff were also super friendly and that's really a big plus.

As for this outfit that I wore today, I chose this blue on blue on blue ensemble just because I've been obsessing on anything powder blue (and pastel pink and yellow)recently, and mainly because it felt so comfortable and perfect for the season. I like to escape a little from the comfort zone and go with tailoring that not a lot of people wear hence, this outfit.

Trousers- Uniqlo
top-thrifted
necklace-thrifted
shoes-Aldo
Ring- Forever 21

Wishing you all a sweet day!

PINK LEATHER



I Breezed through today wearing this pale pink leather skirt and mint green flats perhaps signaling that I'm craving for mint strawberry gelato since it feels like a hot pot here in the Philippines. Surprisingly, this combo didn't make me sweat like a pig, as the white blouse was breezy and the pink skirt was surprisingly blowing itself away a little. I was lucky enough to find this necklace from my mom that matched my skirt and this bag that could fit everything I needed.

Writing this post but all I can think about is how much I'd love to go to the beach and sip on a mojito.
Ya feel?

BLUSH


Spent this afternoon roaming around and looking for cheerful places that contrasted my light outfit and reflected the stones that accented it. Loving pastels so much more now, and thinking that I'd want these kinds of clothes forever but maybe not if I think about it very carefully. Paired this white embellished Zara number with  light blue jeans from H&M and a pastel pink bag with stones from Prada.
Wine colored lips to blend with the colors of the stones in my top and light blue mid-heel sandals to top off the look. Pastels are the perfect summer #ootd that can give a very light look yet a serious dose of fashion.

SUNNY


A subtle sheer mesh lining on my white midi-skirt and a black cropped top with an "X" at the back provided the necessary lines I was looking for in today's outfit. Hints of gold to add a little bit of glitter to this black and white number as the yellow painted walls in Venice Piazza nodded in agreement. A little romance, a little flirty, and a bit edgy, I was happy a girl around town, basking in the sunshine and taking pictures with palm trees like someone who can't wait to hit the beach.

Top and golden rose bangle- Forever21

THANKFUL-- Postcards from our Anniversary


 Spent this morning going to the mountains with Javi since today is our first year anniversary. We packed some lunch and wine, chocolates and chips and drove to the mountains-- it couldn't have been more perfect. We listened to music and marveled as the green mountainous panorama met the incandescent skyline.
It's days like these that I'm glad I'm alive.

CHERISH

 




It's quite coincidental that my nude lipstick from MAC is called "Cherish" since today I've learned a huge lesson that will always stay with me for the rest of my life. I've learned that today we may seem so complacent and contented with what we have that we forget to cherish the moment completely. Something so valuable was taken away from me and I can't do anything about it. I would give anything to try to get it back and I'm fighting for it right now. The saying goes "You don't get the same moment in life twice" and it hasn't been more true. Sometimes we just tend to forget because everything's going so well and we didn't think it could be taken away in a day, a minute or even a second from now.
I just want to say that right now, take a moment to breathe everything in and thank the Lord for this moment.

Moving on though..
