Jacket On

As the rain pours that literally washes away our worries from the heat of the sun, it also gives this cozy vibe to stay at home, enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee while catching up with your fave tv series you’ve missed while at school or work, or start to read a new book everyone’s been raving about or even have a movie marathon of the Harry Potter Series. Oh gloomy days like this, it makes me want to regret that I was only able to enjoy summer for less than a week. Sigh.

But despite of this, I still feel very blessed that I get to visit places and will get to visit places I want to go to. A few months ago, we've went back to the beautiful city of Baguio to visit my one week old niece. Yes. I now have a niece, a really pretty one.

I told you guys we'd be going back and forth to Baguio. Anyway, we just went for a short visit and the rain was pouring the whole time, so we weren't able to enjoy the outdoors. But we still had so much fun.

For my outfit on our free day, I know I've said that I swore not to wear a skirt to this city but I expected that it would be sunny but it wasn't and it's the only thing I've brought since we were travelling light. I didn't regret it though. It kept me warm throughout our indoor stay. 

I wore denim on denim. It wasn't that of a risk though since it was a completely different shade that the skirt is a printed denim. Underneath my jacket is the long sleeve peek-a-boo top from Ripples by Jenny. Then, I wore my summer sandals from Forever 21, who knew it would still look appropriate with the look. I gave my fave and overused nude sandals a break hence, I've used these pair instead. It is definitely one of the comfiest pairs I have.

This is now the part where I dump you guys with photos during our stay there. To what bloggers call it, behold another photo diary, Baguio short visit edition. Scroll away!

A day ends quickly when we enjoy the most. That is how I exactly felt when we have come to our last day at Baguio. Technically, it won't be the last since we are definitely going back to visit our new fam.

It was a cold Sunday morning when we had a last minute pasalubong shopping at the market. Then, we went back home and prepared our things. As everyone else is still prepping up, I got the opportunity to get a picture with everyone's favorite, Diesel. He is just the cutest! A really lovable dog.

With everyone's favorite, Diesel!

And also get to sneak at the balcony to take for outfit pictures. Actually, everyone knew I was going to get my pictures taken since I asked permission from Tita Ayda. Hihi. Anyway, the view of the balcony was just breathtaking, you could actually see the downtown of Baguio. I got inspired by it and used it as the background for this shot.

Top: Dream a Little More, Cardigan: True Love-SM GTW,
Jeans: Penshoppe and Shoes: Vans

We were going to have this long trip home which explains how laid-back this ensemble was. Wore one of my DLM shirts which is the Odds shirt, one of their designs for the Hunger Games collection. For more designs, check their site here. Grabbed my cutest striped sheer cardigan that I got from Mom for Christmas, paired it with this skinny jeans leatherette from Penshoppe and to top it all off, put my Kitty Vans sneakers on.

This was actually one of the coldest mornings in Baguio City. It was on the 12th of January when the temperature hit 9.5 degrees C, and it was that sunny. Wished mornings here at home are just as cold in Baguio when you don't need an air conditioner to cool a room. Except that's impossible, I'll prolly just need to wait for the next visit for me to experience it again.

Leaving you guys with a few pictures of me before we left the city.

See the view here?

The famous lion head.

The picture I'd actually believe that I lost a few pounds. Yay!

That is all for this post. I'm making this one short because I don't have that much pictures to show. (I know. I should have known better.) I was having so much fun, I forgot to take as much pictures that I was soo excited to let you guys see. But then, we'll still come back soon and I promise to snap away every action.

Also, you can hype my look here.

Toodles!

Much Love,

Baguio Trip

It has been years since I last went to Baguio. It was in my fourth year in high school when I attended DepEd's very famous NLTSGO (National Leadership Training for Student Government Officers) held at Teachers Camp. And now that I was given a chance to go back after almost six years, I tried things I've always wanted to do that I wasn't able to during my last visit. Although we just have to squeeze it in to our schedules since our sole purpose of going to Baguio is for my brother's wedding.

We first visited the very famous Mines View Park. Despite the fact that the place has now turned into a tourist commercial area because of the stores located in every angle, I still loved visiting it. Also, was now able to ride a real horse, and wait for it, with pink hair. It was soo fun to do touristy stuff despite the busy day full of errands we had.

On our first day, we just had lunch at the mall and finally met the wonderful Toledo Family, one of the nicest families I've met to date and now our extended fam. And definitely the main reason why we would definitely come back every now and then, to visit and catch up with new members of the family.

On the second day, we've done a few errands here and there, attended the wedding rehearsal and all, and of course a little sight seeing around the city. In the morning we was able to go to the Mines View Park and in the afternoon we went to Camp John Hay.

For you guys to enjoy this post, I will be dumping you with pictures we were able to take. Although all of these are only group pictures, I hope seeing us having fun in the pictures would be enough. Scroll away!

When we were done doing a few errands, we decided to swing by the Mines View Park before grabbing some lunch. I wanted to ride a pony but when I saw this horse with a dyed pink hair, I was like "Oooh, Pink!" and immediately rode the horse for picture taking purposes only though. Actually, every corner has this pink dyed hair horses all for photo ops purposes. 

This is one of my fave pictures of all time. Look at my nephew's adorable smile. He looks so cute with the costume on.

My lil brother also get to wear a costume since RG wasn't that thrilled to wear one.

An obligatory picture with one of Doglas' friends. Haha. The line for Doglas was crazy, so we opted for the other dog who were also prepped up for photo ops.

A trip to the Mines View Park wouldn't be complete without having their buttered corn on a cob. You can get them steamed or grilled. My nephew tried one, and I was able to snap away in action. Soo cute!

I love how this touristy picture was taken. Even though I look like a mess, since it was now late in the afternoon and we just got done shopping for pasalubongs. The view of the pine trees were breathtaking. It felt like I was not in the Philippines. 

And of course, this post wouldn't be complete without an outfit shot.

I wore this sheer floral top and layered it with a light blazer. I love how the blazer has this lace dainty detail. I paired it with a nude colored midi skirt. And of course, I used my fave sandals and sling bag.

I must admit. I looked more like a teacher rather than a tourist here. Heads up though, do not wear skirts with this kind of weather esp. in the month of  December- February on night time. I was freezing when we went out for dinner. Haha. If you're planning to wear one, be sure to wear tights underneath.

That is all for this post. I hope you enjoyed it. Definitely coming back to visit our new fam and this beautiful city. We still need to experience the 50's Diner, strawberry picking, and prolly have a picnic at the Camp John Hay.

Also, you can hype my look here.

Toodles!
