"A Place In This World"

If you are a big T. Swift fan, you know exactly what my title is about. I was listening to this while I am typing this post. It just made me realize a lot of things and another year coming to an end and another new year coming our way makes all things around me melodramatic. Yes. Melodramatic is the right term. And since I don't want to spoil all the fun whatever you guys are currently doing. I am going to share this fun colored ensemble I wore to work one Friday. Hahahhaha! (Another new way of transitioning a dramatic post into an outfit one.)

Top:Thrifted, Skirt: SM Dept. Store and Shoes: Primadonna

I have noticed I've been hoarding on body-fitting skirts. Yes. Hoarding, since I haven't used yet a lot of them. But this one is pretty special. It's because of the colored lace side panels of the skirt. It got my attention more since it's in pink and purple. I don't think a girly-girl like me could resist that one.

For this ensemble, I wanted to keep everything office appropriate but still playful. I admire Camille Co for her skills in making two separates look like a one piece. My favorite is her Opulence look. And so I tried my luck for this one. My colleagues actually thought it was a dress, so I think I actually pulled it off.

I used my thrifted white lace tube top. To cover up everything, I used this pale pink blazer of my sister. I was really happy about how I actually decided for this look in just 10 minutes. Ninja moves ftw. Hahah. It usually takes me about an hour or so to finally decide on things I'd wear so I plan them a night before, even a week before that's why I am surprised I finished this one in just minutes. A total record breaker for me.

And of course, my fave pair of nude sandals made it all the more office-appropriate. (I hope so.)

Back to the song, the lyrics " I don't know what I want, so don't ask me 'cause I'm still trying to figure it out." are the words that I was experiencing when I just started working. But now that I've gain experiences (and weight, too. Hahah!) I am now feeling the "Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission, But I'm ready to fly." part.

This song answers everything about actually feeling lost but also realizing in the end what you really want. That, happiness comes in every sizes and shapes. Mine comes in something beyond your imagination. Not giving a hint. Hahaha

That is all for this post. I hope you enjoyed it. What do you think? I wanna hear from you guys by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.


Toodles!

Gold

I am writing this post at exactly 12m.n. on the 11th of December wishing my not-so-little (literally, since he's 3 inches taller than I am) brother Nino a happy birthday! He just turned sixteen. *Cue in music: Tralalala lalala, Happy Birthday sweet Sixteen! LOL.

As I opened silver (Ara's laptop) to write this post I was totally clueless on what to blog about. Thank God for no need to edit photos, I have a blog to post today. There's nothing much to share since I have been really open how stressed I am in my past blog posts. This would be different. I'll be using the direct to the point approach by bringing the spotlight to the ensemble I've used a few months ago.

We wear polo shirts on Friday but since I already need to replace mine I wore a sort-of business attire on work to one Friday which I got approval from our boss. (Yes. I need to mention that here.) 

Skirt: Ambershoppe, Belt: SM Accessories,
Necklace: LCC Dept. Store Sandals: Primadonna

I know I've worn this skirt several times already and blogged about it once here, but I can't help to use it all over again. You see, this gold hound's tooth print is a rare find. I was really lucky that I've found such, since it's normally in black. Anyway, I liked to keep the classy touch of the gold print so I've decided to bling it up with also gold accessories; a lion head pendant chain necklace, gold watch and white/gold bangle and use a simple white top. 

Also used this open-toe sandals. Overused is an understatement for this. It is definitely my all-time favorite sandals for the year. If I could just wear them to work with our office uniform I've prolly wore it every single day. That's how comfy it is, and how it matches anything, everything.

That is all for this post. I hope you enjoyed it. What do you think? I wanna hear from you guys by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.

P.S. Upcoming posts are going to be brief and short just like this one so I could finally tell you guys about my first giveaway for the holiday season. *Surprise, surprise!

Holiday Prep

Hey guys! I am back for a brand new post for the month. I have never felt this productive ever since I graduated from school. I kid! Work and my extra-curricular activities has been stressing me out lately actually (not complaining) and it has finally paid off since I am now starting to lose weight. I know it sounds like a bad thing but you see I've been trying (take note of the word "trying") to lose weight ever since my friends and relatives noticed how my arms and cheeks are about to explode any minute. Hahahah! Also, it's working on my advantage that the holiday is fast approaching. By then, there will be plenty of room for food and unwanted fats. *wink*

And as the Christmas holiday approaches, this is going to be my third year on collecting SB planner stickers. I love how I get away with having sweet treats in the afternoon at least once a week by visiting the coffee shop. I can't wait for mine in magenta. I know a lot already got theirs but I'm in no hurry to skip already to 2014 so I'm taking this nice and slow.

Anyway, I am going to share to you guys what I wore to one of my visits.

Shirt: Dream a Little More, Skirt: H&M, Bag: Dooney&Bourke

Belt: SM Kids' Accessories and Sandals: Forever 21

Wore one of my DLM ( Dream a Little More) shirt from the Potterhead Collection, I paired it with an outdated skater skirt. Hahahha. The waist band just looks weird but it helps that it made the skirt look longer. Then of course I got use of my glittered leather sandals from Forever 21. It added the right amount of sparkliness.

That is all for this post. I hope you guys enjoyed it. What do you think? I wanna hear from you guys by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.

Hallow(een) Kitty!

And I'm back for another post. December is coming like in 3 weeks and I haven't bought a thing yet on my list. Total crunch time Christmas shopping again this year so I'm making as many posts as much as I can this month while there's still time. Also planning of throwing a blog giveaway next month so stay updated and tuned in.

Today's post though was taken a week ago and the title might have given you already a clue on what to expect but I'm still asking you the question anyway. What do you guys think of besides Christmas when the year have come to the last week of October? If you answered Halloween, then you are right on track. Though I really did not attended a Halloween party when you're required to wear costumes and stuff. I made it as an excuse to wear something well not that costume-y but beyond my basic limits when it comes to dressing up, on the 1st of November.

Top: SM GTW, Shoes: Crocs

Last year I used a full neon top ensemble with matching neon flats. Yes. It was my first time to conquer my fear with anything neon. This year I've decided to show the kid inside me. If you know me that well, you'll know how big of a fan I am of Hello Kitty. And since crop tops are such a hit this year, I decided to debut this cropped shirt with Hello Kitty's face printed on. What I love about this top is the gothic theme of the shirt. The color schemes used and the rock on kitty face says it all. Also, I love how the length of it is just right that it still looks like a normal shirt. (Or my torso is just that short that crop tops look like an ordinary shirt. Hahahah!)

Back to my outfit, I first paired it with my galaxy printed pants but I just couldn't handle the heat that afternoon that I've switched into my DIY studded denim shorts which I regret, since I ended up with mosquito bites (like a dozen). They're now awful looking marks around my legs. So, I'll prolly keep on wear stockings for work and skip wearing shorts or skirts in a week or two. >_<
Anyway, I also noticed that I got all matchy- matchy since I've also worn my Hello Kitty Crocs flats which also captures the same schemes. Like, they were actually made for each other.

I felt like a rockstar sporting this ensemble. I don't know but I've always pictured female rockstars in crop tops especially that the theme was goth-like. Plus, the studded bottoms also added the rockstar vibe. Hahaha!

I wanted to wear a beaded kitty ears headband but Mom reminded me of my age which I totally forgot at that time. Hahaha! I kid. But Mom really did reminded me. Though I got away by snapping a shot or two with it. Okay. Maybe about five shots (sneaky ninja,haha).  Mom even thought that I was wearing a kid's shirt. (Hi Mom! Love you.)

And since, Mom wasn't that of a fan of my kitty ears headband, I opted to go with the metallic pink one instead. I got it as a gift from Ariane, my colleague. I noticed I wouldn't stand wearing one either so I equipped with me a hair tie. I did not accessorize that much since I'm soo into comfort dressing nowadays. Plus, it was a holiday so expect for big crowds and a lot of walking. ahaha!

That is all for this post. I hope you guys enjoyed it. What do you think? I wanna hear from you guys by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.

Blue Team

Tada! And I am back for a new blog post. Hello again to a brand new month! Freaking out na I haven't bought anything yet for Christmas or even made a list. Dundundun!

This one post though is long overdue since it was taken last September pa. Hahahah. That's what you get for not bringing your own camera to take your ootd. Actually, I meant to post this a bit later since I'm going to repeat my striped pants. hehe.

Anyway, let me share to you guys what I've worn to one of my LMFs, Kae, birthday celebration. It was a karaoke dinner party so I've decided to go with something simple but still kept it interesting. I know it's too early for this striped pants to come back (see previous post here) but I just can't help to use and post it again. What made this look interesting? (Well for me) It is the fact that I finally had the guts to actually use it as a high waist pants. Even when I am going to a party that has food written all over it, I braved giving emphasis on one of the most unflattering part of my body. Hhi

Anyway, I think pairing it with the right color was plus points to look all the more put together. Choosing a color of the same family was no surprise though, in my case. So to break the monotony, I used my overused open toe nude sandals from Primadonna. Don't worry, I'll give my other babies (shoes) a chance to shine in my upcoming blog posts.

I was afraid I'd look like I got out straight from a time machine from the 70's if I've worn an oversized stack of bangles. So, I opted for the acrylic bead necklace from SM Accessories and a black strap Casio watch instead. I don't want to get lost in translation and make the ensemble look costume-y.

This striped pants from Shopaholic under the SM GTW brand is really one of my comfiest pairs so I danced the night away. Kidding! I actually sat the whole time catching up with friends since I've missed quite a lot after missing dinner outs with them last month. You see, I have been a very good girl lately. Or so I thought I was. I wasn't exaggerating on the comfiest pants though. I've had this old navy button up shirt since college and it works it's miracle every time I want them to. 

And since this was a party I wouldn't waste the opportunity to share to you guys pictures from that night. Thanks to Kae for allowing me to grab a few snapshots from her. I now leave you guys with a few of it, scroll away.

Ending this post with a picture with the birthday girl, Kae. So, you guys might have guessed why choose Blue Team as the title for this post. That last picture answers it for you.

That is all for this post. I hope you guys enjoyed it. What do you think? I wanna hear from you guys by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.

Color Block

Yesterday morning, on a jeepney ride, when I was supposed to be freaking out that I'd be late again for work (Yes. This is a first. I never get late twice in a month and the month hasn't even ended yet. *crossing my fingers), I caught myself daydreaming. It seems to be the only escape from all the stress I'm getting, besides from reading and writing/sharing/blogging. Because even in my sleep I'm haunted with the things I have been worrying about which I'm too embarrassed to share here. hhi

The past few weeks have been really stressful for me. It seems that I 'm always too tired but can't sleep early, which makes me wake up late than the usual, hurry to get ready ending up to forget things and worst getting to work late. I was never the good old Miss Punctual type but I dread coming late. I don't like making people wait for me, and vice versa. That's the big lesson I learned from all the group project meetings I had when I was still in school 'cause you'll end up with zero output. Being on time was no trouble for me until now. What's worrying me the most is that it might grew on me and I just can't allow that to happen ever. Also, I can't seem to find the root of all this, and the bipolar weather is making it twice as stressful. *sigh

With all the things I have been blabbering above, it has all come to this, an outfit post. *Insert laughing self here.

I know, I know. It has nothing to do whatsoever with me being all stressed-out. Although, it (dressing up) has been a way for me to cope up with it. I just needed an outlet for all these. I know the 140 characters limit of twitter and over a hundred unknown friends in facebook won't be able to handle all the drama. Just think of this post as a selfie with an inspirational quote as a caption that has nothing to do whatsoever with the picture that we deal with everyday. Hahahha!

Anyway, besides from the thing that I am caught up with lately, I also want to share to you guys what I wore to a weekend short visit to my Aunt and Popsi and also my grandparents.

Top: Alixandre, Shorts: Local Dept. Store, Shoes: SM Dept. Store

I wore this hot pink loose top that I have for a while now. Decided to color block by accessorizing the top with aqua blue (bag and necklace). I usually pair this top with jeans but since I seldom get to wear a pair of shorts, I opted to go with it. I picked my high waist buttoned shorts in white to balance out the color. Then, got my aztec printed flats from Solemate out for a walk. Missed my nude sandals? You'll see them back soon.

I do hope I didn't wasted the last two minutes of spending time reading my blog. That is all for this post. I hope you guys enjoyed it. What do you guys think? I wanna hear from you by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.

Free Day

One of the best things about the Philippines are the national holidays observed. It's not only to give way for the celebration but it is also a time for people who works/ studies five times a week to take a break from all the stress and all other things that comes with it on a supposed to be working day. Times like this, I usually stay at home to catch up on sleep, TV series and do chores.

Last Tuesday was an exception though. I've done quite a few errands with Mom for an upcoming big event for our family in a few months. We're all excited. I can't wait to blog about it. Anyway, since I knew it was going to be a long day of walking and waiting, I wore something really comfy but not sloppy. (I hope.)

Top: Local Dept. Store, Jeans: Thrifted, Necklace: Forever 21
Bag: Mango and Sandals: Forever 21

I was really excited to use this new Mango purse I got from Ate Monica. And finally was able to! I got this bad habit of bringing a lot of stuff with me everywhere thus carrying large shoulder bags which explains why I have a really bad posture. Talk about using the word "bad" twice in a sentence. Anyway, this purse is a miracle. I actually got my ginormous wallet, phone and a few other trinkets fit all in. Amazeballs. So heads up 'cause I'll be using it a lot and you might see it here like a tons of times. 

I've prolly used this top tons of times but realized I haven't blog about it. Hhi. Also, noticed that this is actually my first post for the month so I'm giving you guys a bonus and will post more in the coming weekends. We got really busy since my brother who's based in Singapore went home two weeks ago with his girlfriend. Also, my nephew joined the party and spent a weekend with us. Then, catch up some more with chores.

Anyway, my tip for a free day to be spent with doing errands is to wear easy, breathable clothes. You'll never know how long you're gonna wait, how far you'll walk. Unless, you're in a schedule where the offices and persons you're going to meet are always on time that's not going to be a problem. Although being ready always won't hurt.

That is all for this post. I hope you guys enjoyed it. What do you guys think? I wanna hear from you by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.
