PLAID AND SIMPLE

I wasn't always a fan of matchy matchy stuff until I found this Black Plaid Sleeveless Top and High Waist Slim Pants from Choies. It instantly helps pull your look together with its classic print plus it gives off the illusion of a tall and slender figure which I think is a plus for most of us. It was also unbelievably affordable and so fashion forward that when I had to pick something from the online shop, I know this was what I really wanted. 

What I love about Choies is that they have these two piece suits that you can buy as a set, and isn't that just wonderful? 

I paired it with a pearl necklace and red sunglasses to give off that vintage vibe and I brought this white Louis Vuitton clutch bag that surprisingly carried everything I needed like my phone, powerbank, and a few make up essentials.

 I may or may not have fallen in love with the black, red and white combo as I think I'm having another relationship with pastels but I just can't seem to escape the former. I unconsciously find myself pulling out either a black top and white pants or the other way around and just wearing a red lip or red accessories, just because.

I also had the chance to shoot with one of my co-bloggers from Bacolod, Days with Dia and it was so much fun especially since Bacolod is such a small city, and everyone's just friends with everyone, so we had the chance to catch up and chat (and speak ilonggo all throughout!). We were photographed by my dear friend Third and I've never been more happy with the outcome. I think this is something we'll be doing quite a lot from now on.I was so happy to be with people who share the same passion with me and I think you guys should check them out too!

SLOUCHY

( Essenxa Top/ Stradivarius trousers and Heels/ Louis Vuitton Bag/ H&M necklace)

I think I just took slouching to a whole new level. Aside from being constantly reminded to straighten my back because I look like a lazy little boy, I insisted on being totally slouchy all over with loose clothes and pants since... well, Monday happened. I know you're probably like "Today's Tuesday...?" but I wrote this yesterday and everything just seems so gloomy right now-- I just want to be in my pajamas with a hot cup of tea and a good movie to watch. I decided to wear blue too, since I'm not in any way excited for today. Seriously though,Who is? 

If you're totally feeling me and you slightly don't give a damn about anything except being lazy, here's how to dress it and still be accepted in your office... XX

POSTCARDS FROM BATANGAS

SHOP IT HERE

After being so excited to upload this set and switching to a sudden "I'm too lazy to post process the photos" to finally having the time and will to do so, I'm very happy to present to you one of the most relaxing weekends I've had in a while--not to mention I had the best people with me and a week full of stress behind. I really needed this break and it was exactly what I was looking for. 

Whenever I'm by the beach, there's just nothing like waking up to the sound of crashing waves and feeling the heavenly breeze every time you walk out of your cottage every morning with drowsy eyes that suddenly make you surprisingly, a morning person.

Now doesn't this make you just want to go to the beach this weekend?

Hope we all get to go soon!

EYES ON YOU

(CHOIES Dress/ Rebecca Minkoff heels/ Aldo Wayfarers/ Louis Vuitton Minilyn Bag)

Whenever I think about these eyes on the dress or any other accessory with eyes on them, it serves as a reminder for me to always put in that little effort in looking a little more than ordinary, a.k.a. looking your best everyday. It's probably because you can never control what people think about you when they first see you but you can always give them something to look at--make them do a double take when you're well dressed and tidied up.

I couldn't wait to wear this dress from CHOIES (a fabulous site I regretted not discovering earlier) on a bright and sunny day at the fort and it just went perfectly with one of my favorite shoes. I may be wearing all sorts of blue but I've got ice cream and a sunny disposition and I guess that's all I'm gonna need for a good day ahead.

CHARLOTTE

(Mango top and bag/ Forever21 trousers/ Charlotte Olympia heels/ Fossil Watch/ Project Kat bracelet)

I can't describe the exact feeling I had as soon as I got ahold of these mascot low-heeled shoes from Charlotte Olympia, all i knew was that I was dancing around--probably like a leprechaun that found his pot of gold. That would be the best description I could think of. No. I probably did look like that while I was dancing.(hahahaha! lololol, rofl, lmao, trololol) I wore it as soon as I got it the next day and I paired it with whites of course to make the shoes stand out. It was as comfortable as I expected it to be and I really do agree with the saying that good shoes take you to good places. I know I may have spent quite a few bucks on these babes, but when it comes to shoes, and bags, and sunglasses, it's better to invest on these things, and then you can start looking for affordable tops and bottoms to pair it with and still pull off a very classy look. I used to not care about shoes this much but there's just something about opening a shoebox from Charlotte Olympia that makes it all so worth it...
