Hi Everyone!

Today Im sharing my cardigan craze. 

Though its super hot during the day here in our city I always make sure I bring cardigans in my bag. This is the reason I always have a bulky bag! >.<

I am not so good at dealing with cold air. So even if its not raining but Im inside an air conditioned place/venue I immediately wear my cardigans to protect me. I also wear cardigans when Im still out during the night. Too much exposure to cold air will eventually gave me headache or worst not feeling well. 

Could it be signs of aging? hahaha I dont know. All I know is that I find comfort wearing cardigans when it gets to much cold or windy. 

I am actually shopping online for some new cardigans to add in my closet.  And I found some stylish and great finds at Newchic.com. Since I cant buy them all at once, Im sharing my top picks or should I say wishlist here in my blog.  

Printed Loose Cape Cardigan ($10.90) | Aztec Irregular Loose Cardigan ($9.99) | Knitted Sweater Cardigan ($18.82)| Irregular Knitted Cardigan ($10) | Hollow Out Batwing Sleeve Loose Sweater ($17.30) | Geometric Printed Sweater Cardigan ($17.46)

Do you like wearing cardigans? 

Any picks from the cardigans Ive shared above?

Hello there midweek! How was your week going on so far?

Since the year Ive read Bianca Gonzales' article about Theme of the Year Ive  been using it since then. So instead of writing new year resolutions that I would probably not achieve by the end of the year, I set a theme to guide me for the whole year. My previous themes so far, has helped me to stay on track on what I wanted to achieve and experience for the whole year.  

Last year, I ended having the theme #Travel2015. So Im pursuing the theme #Invest2016 this year. This year will be all about savings and investment. I already have several investment in mind so wish me luck that I shall succeed it and achieve it.
My investment will not be solely about money. It will also be with things and actions that I believe will be vital for myself and my families future.
Have you think of a theme for yourself this year?

It's mid-week and I cant wait for weekend! :D
Here's an outfit I wore at the Gibi Shoes Fun Day event. Attending invites like this, I always consider the venue, what the event is all about and the possible itinerary or happenings in the event, when choosing for an outfit to wear. Most likely casual chic is the usual outfit for this kind of event.

However, since we're going to meet and chitchat with celebrities; Jasmine and Ella before we go to the venue of the event, I choose to wear this lace dress so I will still be stylish yet comfy. And then paired it with a not so high wedge sandals so I can freely move at the event proper after.

I'm honestly having trouble creating blog post right now...
Before I can immediately express what I wanted to share here.
Not that I don't have anything to share... Believe me I have lots of things that I wanted to share to everyone here but I just cant find the words say.
I don't know why...
But I am trying to figure it out. For now I shall bear with my slow pace in writing a new blog post.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi there! How was the holiday so far?
Found something new to share to you all specially to those who are active in Instagram.
This year I have been more of an Instagram addict. Instagram is the first thing I check in the morning, the most use app in my phone the whole day and the last thing I check before going to sleep. Adding to my growing addiction to Instagram is when I read a blog (which I unfortunately forget the link) on some helpful tips on how to increase my Instagram followers and activities. I became more and more active by visiting and commenting others photos, which interestingly in return lots of other Instagrammers visit my account as well. From just a hundred of followers from early this year, Ive now had 635 followers from 4 months of applying the tips. 

Wheeew! Thanks to you if you are one of my followers, stalkers and visitors!

So anyways, as I have mentioned above I will share to you about the trending hashtag on both twitter and instagram... #2015BestNine! I bet you already saw this on lots of celebrities and popular personalities social accounts.

Both Jasmine and Ella were so accomodating and friendly. They shared there favorite Gibi shoes of which Ella love the wedge sneakers while Jasmine are into flat shoes. They have also shared that before they endorse Gibi shoes they are already an avid wearer of Gibi Shoes because its reliable and of great quality that last. Jasmine most specially loves to support locally made products.
