What I Wore | Crop Top & High-Waisted

Hey y'all! How was your weekend so far?
Here in our city we're having a long weekend... 

This week was yet another busy week for me. Had so much in my plate from kiddos birthday, new tasks at work and job offers popping... But who am I to complain, this busyness are blessings!

By the way, sending kisses and hugs to those who shared their comments and appreciation on my previous post... The Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award.  It was such heart warming reading your comments even though that post was kinda long. :D 

So today will be sharing something short... My outfit!

I honestly love seeing crop top outfits but Im not confident wearing them myself. Major reason?! My tummy is not sexy enough to be flaunted... (>.<) 

Big thanks to the person who invented high-waisted shorts because this give me a reason to pair it with my crop top without worrying about showing my belly skin. I was able to wear this crop top that was given to me as a gift on my birthday last year.

So what do you think of this outfit? 

Are you a fan of the cropped trend? If yes, how do you style your crop tops?

Weekend Haul: Fiesta Sale

Hi everyone! Today I will be sharing my hauls last weekend. 

Last weekend was just spent watching Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and then a stroll at the mall. And since there's a lot of sale going on in the city because of the month long celebration of Higalaay Festival 2015. We couldn't help but indulge into a little shopping. ;)

Hair Heroes Intense UV Thermal Barrier Shield from Snoe Beauty - Snoe Beauty is one of my trusted brand when it comes to hair care. I recommend the Hair Heroes! I use to buy their Hair Heroes Intense Argan 5-in-1 Cleansing Conditioner but I am trying out this Intense UV Thermal Barrier Shield because my hair is so dry. Probably because of the hair color. I love the smell its very relaxing.

Galaxy shorts at the Centrio Mall Bazaar - I forgot to get the name of the online shop that sells this galaxy shorts. I bought it for Php 180.00 (3usd). I love it because its stretchable, its cloth is spandex.

Sandals from Jellies by Mendrez -  This is on sale Php 499.00 (10usd). I love how light and comfy this sandal is... Perfect for casual hangouts and ofcourse for my maxi outfits.

What I Wore | Muscle Shirt and Maxi Side-Slit Skirt

How was your week so far? Mine is too busy but blessed at the same time...

I apologize if I haven't replied much to your comments... Sending hugs and kisses for the compliments I received, through your comment, on my previous post about my sunset photography. Thank you also for those who drop some tips on photography. ^_^
Shout out to Zarrah of Bandwagon Chic for the Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award. Watch out for my post soon! 

I am sharing my outfit from last weeks mid-week chill with my friend. We visited this unique cafe called Capricho Art Cafe. Will share more about the cafe on my next post.

For now I will talk about my outfit...

I have previously mention that I am a fan of muscle shirts specially if they are statement shirt. So even if its in white I bought a lot of different version (or rather different version of statement) of this shirt.  As for the maxi skirt, it originally didnt have a slit on both sides. However, after wearing it a few times I realized that its style limits my walking... or should I say running?! hahaha Anyway, it wasn't that bad though but I just felt more free and relax with the slits.
Too bad though I was not able to showcase the double side-slit in this pictorial but here's another one I posted on instagram.

Hello Monday!

Fresh start of the week... I had a productive start so far. Im so glad I was able to woke up early nad had chance for a short walking exercise while accomplishing some errands. 

Actually, today is my first day at my new virtual job. One of the reason I woke up early besides kiddo's first day of examination. 

I just dont know why I am so excited and energize for this new job. I am hoping though that I'll go full time the soonest. ^_^ 

The first day went great. I enjoyed the task at hand. My lady bosses are full of energy and all smiles always. 

On the other hand, Dresslink offered me to browse on their website. I found lots of affordable fashion faves and so I created my own wishlist, hence, what you see in the photo above. I am looking forward to own and wear the following wishlist items. I have been wanting them quite some time now and Im so glad to found it at Dresslink at a very affordable price. I shall purchase this soon!

How was the start of the week for you?
Have you tried purchasing at Dresslink.com too? Would love to hear some feedback.

What I Wore | Button-Down Shirt & Skirt Pants

Midweek Madness!

It's amazing how fast time flies by and you don't even realize it. Just last Sunday I was not ready to welcome Monday but its funny how Wednesday came unnoticed, until my friend asked for a midweek chill. 

 My closest friends and I has online jobs and so we take weekend and midweek seriously to disconnect to technology and stress.  That's Wednesday and Saturday out and about anywhere in the city. However, most of it spent at malls. :D

It's the time where we channel our inner fashionista and coffee/tea addicts. It's  our time to vent out problems and frustration, laugh with/without any reasons, encourage and discourage decisions... hehehe that's what we are! 

We usually just shop, stroll, eat and chat. A lot of things really happened and most of them are unplanned. 

 On today's post, I am sharing an outfit on one of our midweek chill few weeks back. While looking forward of our midweek chill later... Printed button-down shirt and white skirt pants. Forgot to take a photo of the back view for the shorts... really its shorts. The gladiator shoes is new... I impulsively bought it on that day and wore it immediately... and the days after. hahaha I am not obviously loving it, arent I?

This day only two of us bond. And me and my best buddy accidentally wore matching outfits in black and white theme. We didn't even plan it. ^_^
What's your usual bonding with your friends?
Do you do midweek chill/break too?

What I Wore | Jacquard A-line Dress

Hi everyone! How was your midweek? It has been a busy week for me... Im still trying to breath.

Here's my outfit for last Saturday's event that I have attended. The event was a meet and greet with Celebrity Chef-Nutritionist Nadine Tengco, and it was held at KaVe Restaurant Bar, Luxe Hotel. 

Took the chance to wear this vintage jacquard dress from Zaful.com. This dress is so pretty, makes me feel so feminine. 

I actually had a fashion emergency on the way to the event. One of my shoe broke... :( Since it'll consume too much time to go back home, I asked my friend to bring her wedge shoes...Why wedge? Because her shoe size is smaller than mine, so better be safe. Unfortunately, she left the shoes that she had already packed... oh.. oh..  I almost canceled my attendance to the event. Good thing my friend kept a shoe glue in her car. It was able to remedy my broken shoe.
Moral lesson: Always checked your shoes before wearing it. Specially if you havent worn it for a long time.  Shoes that arent worn for a long time are most probably causes fashion emergencies.  

With my equally pretty, fashionista and so preggy friend . She took my outfit shots by the way. Thanks Dee! ;)

My first perks from BPI Express! Thank you!
Before I talk about my shoe selfie, let me give my readers (both regular and new) a warm hug as a sign of gratitude for visiting my blog. It feels so good to read your comments here on my blog. Im happy to gain new friends from different parts of the world.
Daghang Salamat! Kamsahamnida! Thank you! ^_^
Last April, I received an exclusive P500 Zalora gift certificate with no minimum spend when I use my BPI Card. And so I bought this snake studded cross strap sandals by Velvet... I've added an additional though because the shoes original price is PHP799.00. I choose this because I am planning to wear this for a bohemian theme event.

It was my first time to purchase in Zalora. So far was very glad with the smooth transaction and product quality. The shoes was delivered 3 days after purchase and door-to-door to our house.

What do you think of the shoes? Any bohemian outfit suggestion to match on my sandals?

What I Wore | Off-Shoulder Top & Maxi Skirt

Happy Sunday everyone! Here's my latest outfit post...
It's supposed to be rainy season during this month here in our country but it still feels like summer hasn't end yet in our city. Some parts of the country are actually experiencing storms already yet here in our city its very hot. It maybe cloudy at times but it never rains and the air is so warm that makes you sweaty and irritable.

In my previous blog wrote about me and my friends relaxing at Chali Beach Resort. Here's my outfit for that day. Since the day calls for relaxing. I opted for something comfy bohemian outfit.
How was the weather in your place?

Edgy Chic Fashion Wishlist

Aside from Bohemian style another style that I hold very near and dear to my heart is the edgy chic or the rocker-chic style. I just love how effortless, sexy, baddass and creative I can be with this style. To create this style I mix the basics with key pieces. The goal is turn boring into something unexpected, cool and a bit mysterious.

Here's how I make my style more edgy...

• I am a big fan of the half-tuck. I usually do this with my tee shirt, blouse or a button-down. 
• Boots. What I love most of this type of shoe is that you can wear it with dresses, skirts, leggings, jeans and even shorts! 
• Little Dress. Wether its a skater cuts, floral patterns, or dresses made from lace or velvet, it will look edgy with a combat boots. ;)
• I add life to a dress or skirt by wearing it with black tights, studded boots, and a denim jacket/vest. 

Here's some edgy pieces on my wishlist that Im hoping to own soon... 

PU Jacket

Loose Half Sleeve T-shirt

Tassel Short Sleeves

Black Lace-up Ankle Boots

Cut-out One-piece Swimwear

Bohemian Retro Rings Bracelets

Incase your interested on this pieces, all of this are from EricDress.com. You can also check their little dresses here, maxi dress here and sweaters here.

Mango Spring/Summer 2016

Just finished watching Mango Spring/Summer 2016 fashion show which was held in Barcelona. Opening the fashion show is super model Ana Beatriz Barros.

The collection are mixes of a trendy casual chic, hippie vibe, and a British rock. I just love this collections because most of the outfits screams my style.

Watch the video below and do share if you also like this new collection of Mango.

What I Wore | Tee & Maxi Skirt

What's your typical outfit on a lazy day? 

When I dont feel like dressing up I used to grab my trusted shorts and from their decide what top to pair it with. However, this changed now... The typical outfit that comes to mind first is a maxi skirt paired with white tees. 

White Tees. This makes me laugh everytime, because I used to despised wearing white tees before, for the reason that I easily get dirt on it. No im not clumsy, but just the on-the-move kind of woman. Go ahead reason out! lol ;) Im probably maturing because now you can see them taking over my black tops in my closet. Heck I even have the plain ones! O.o

Speaking of maxi skirt, I am thinking of having more of this well-crafted ones like the one Im wearing in this OOTD. I just love maxi skirts with hand-crafted details. This ombre blue maxi skirt has a crochet details. 

I say, let the hunting begins!

Do let me know if you know shops with great designs on thier maxi skirts! ;)

Online Shopping: Zaful.com

The postman delivered this package today. Yay finally! I have been looking forward to receive this package from Zaful.com. It usually took a month for registered mail to arrive but impressively this package arrive 18 days and straight to my doorstep. I usually picked it up at the post office, so this is a double wow! I wonder if our local post office is really improving now. And yes I still paid the postal fee of PHP 100.00.
So what's inside? Its a retro sundress from Zaful.com. Yes! You got it right! Its yet another online shop discovery. I really love discovering and sharing new online shops specially if the experience is great.
Here's my review on the website:

• Free shipping worldwide.♥
• You can upload an OOTD shot for the clothes you purchase on their website. I usually take that as free blog promotion. ;)
• Price is a bit high compared to other online shop but its reasonable and worth it though because they dont charge for shipping fee on any price purchased.
• The quality of the dress is great! Just as what Ive expected. 
• I recommend visiting the Zaful SALE page because they got lots of great clothes on sale for a cheaper price.

What I Wore| Stripe Dress & Denim Vest

Attended two events today so opted for a comfortable outfit.
I attended the launching of Sony Bravia Android TV with fellow CDOBloggers. Its been a while since Ive attended launching events, so was looking forward to meet my fellow bloggers. We we're treated for lunch at Bigby's Restaurant right after and we had plenty of time to chat while enjoying the delicious buffet.
After lunch, me and some of the blogger friends stroll at the mall to look for a house warming gift for our fellow bloggers Ding and Bang. We were looking for a hand mixer because Bang just found a new hobby which is baking. We we're able to bought a cheaper and useful hand mixer at Ronbinsons Appliance. We headed to Ding and Bang's house right after and had fun.
