I love the shoulder detail of this top. As you may have noticed, I am totally into flow-y colorful chiffon tops.

The moment insects started biting my legs. HAHA.

The color of the flowers matches the color of this top!

Lovely flowers for Valentine's Day ♡♡♡

Under The Sun We Are One

2012-02-16T02:21:00.000+08:00

I was literally under the scorching sun at that time, that's why I look so pissed off in the pictures!

The edited photo that didn't make it to Lookbook HAHA

Last weekend, my family and I went to Liliw, Laguna. We always go there every year to shop for shoes. On our way back home, we watched the fireworks display (Pyromusical Competition) at SM MOA, featuring South Korea and Malta. It was our first time. We were so lucky to have free tickets. I took a LOT of pictures but I was not satisfied with any of them. I suck at taking pictures at night. But, I'm still going to show them to you through a slideshow/video, since they're so many. Fireworks are beautiful. ♡

Garden of Gems

2012-02-16T00:21:00.000+08:00

I found a new spot for my outfit shots! Hurrah!! I love this tree because I can sit on it!

Head to toe pink except for the belt and the bag

(Button-down and Skirt: Forever 21 | Shoes: Jellybean | Necklace: Melia Accessories)

My accessories are full of gems, hence the title.

I love the mesh part! I'm starting to like Jellybean - their items just suit me. ♡

Sparkling Diamond

2012-02-05T20:51:00.000+08:00

I hope it's not hard to see why that is the title of this post. I feel like I'm Edward Cullen - sparkling under the sun! HAHA. However, the name Sparkling Diamond is from the movie, Moulin Rouge!, which used to be my favorite.

Moving on to the outfit, I super love my metallic sweater! I love sweaters, in general, because they're very comfortable to move around in. Those pants have been with me for a long time already. It sparkles more obviously under the sun (again, like Edward). I actually wore this for a photo shoot for a friend's online store, Melia Accessories. She sells awesome accessories, by the way. Those shades are also from her store. Watch out for the new collection which is coming out very soon!

2012-02-05T00:07:00.003+08:00

These shots were taken after a very long day of experimentation for thesis. I opted for a comfortable outfit given that I needed to move around a lot.

(Leggings: Forever 21 | Shoes: Jellybean | Bag: SM Department Store)

I just love the sides of the leggings.

The Best Things In Life Are FREE

2012-01-30T02:18:00.001+08:00

A few weeks ago, I tried this awesome thing at Chictopia where you can redeem FREE stuff called Chic Rewards using your Chic Points. It can get confusing if you're not a user, so join the bandwagon now! You earn these Chic points by adding a comment, gaining a follower, etc. Basically, you get them just by being active in the community. It's as easy as 1,2,3!

It's no secret that I love jackets, cover ups, cardigans, and the like. That is why the moment I saw this biker jacket, I just knew I had to have it! I can be very impulsive when it comes to clothes, but I have no regrets! I totally love it PLUS it's for FREE!

♡

Now, let's get down to the outfit shots

So, this was how I wore it - Feminine and Rough.

I think the edginess of the jacket has been softened by the chiffon top and the floral print heels (or is it the other way around?).

Closer look

I love the studs at the collar. Anyway, I bought that necklace from a friend who owns this awesome online shop, Melia Accessories. It's actually from the new collection, so watch out for that!

Shoes from Jellybean

To end this blog post, I would like to thank Chictopia and YesStyle for this very chic reward. It's really awesome, this whole rewards thing. More power and until the next reward! ♡♡♡

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

2012-01-30T01:04:00.000+08:00

This is a very late post, I know. Better late than never, right?

I love the color of my hair in this picture. My mom required us to wear something that's red or any shade that's close to it. She'll like it even better if there are polka dots there somewhere, like in my case. She actually bought that top for me.

While eating at a resto, this "lion" came in

Mom REALLY wanted to watch a Lion/Dragon Dance, thus this. The face of the lion is scary, if you ask me.

This photos were actually taken at another mall and at a different day but they're still relevant to the theme and title of my post so, there. I wish we had really Cherry Blossoms here in the Philippines.

Usual School Day

2012-01-21T22:32:00.001+08:00

Another day at school, another opportunity to dress up

I have to say, I'm more comfortable in skirts/ dresses than shorts. On another note, my hair color already lost its brilliance after one month. :(

I loooove the prints!

(Dress and bag: SM Department Store | Shoes: Jellybean)

Stolen shot

I really look so young! I don't even look my age (and I don't even act it sometimes) but it's not a bad thing after all. HAHA.

Happy Days

Gone with the wind

I wanted a photo with a sort of wind effect, but there was no wind at that time! Fail.

(Topper: Landmark | Lace Top: Old Navy)

I've been looking for a topper like this for the longest time!

Lots of bling bling HAHA

You won't believe me if I told you how much this studded shoes cost.

I forgot that the title of my previous post also has a HAPPY word in it. I guess that's just what I'm feeling right now. We all have a lot to be thankful for.

Happy Things

2012-01-08T01:51:00.001+08:00

For the last day of my Christmas vacation, my family decided to go out of town. I’m telling you, we hardly do this. We usually just go to the mall or someplace near. Now that this opportunity has presented itself, I took pictures of anything that I find interesting/pretty/beautiful. I experimented a LOT on the different settings of the camera. It’s really hard to get the results that I want to see.

I will miss the Christmas decorations.

Deja vu

Suddenly, my picture HAHA

I like flowers, even fake ones.

It's fun making the floating candles float. My mom had a hard time doing it. HAHA

My parents love visiting churches.

What my mom and grandma were wearing. I am always attracted to colorful things.

Lovely flowers

Mangoes sold outside the church

My weakness - dogs!

Since I will be graduating this semester, I made it a point to be as immersed as possible in all the activities.

Compiled a lot of continuous shots ♡♡♡

High School Friends Are Friends Forever

2011-11-03T02:45:00.000+08:00

I just read that somewhere. HAHA. Yesterday, I was able to catch up with my high school barkada. It was actually the birthday of my bestfriend, Ches. I missed them so much! Most of us study at the same university but barely see each other (UP is one large place). Well, seeing them made it feel like... high school again.

Yummy food

My lovely friends ❤

The ever gorgeous bday girl ❤

SUPER cute!! I wanted to bring this home. HAHA. That's Ches' new toy. :)

Us HAHA

Cute Slingky

I love animals esp. dogs but I get scared of them when they bark at me. HAHA.

Your bestfriends in high school will always be your bestfriends. Err. I hope that made sense. ;)

On another note, there are no outfit shots for this blog post. I was too busy chatting with them, I forgot to have my picture taken.

Romwe Peter Pan Collar Dress

Topshop Kimono Topper

My mom used to buy a lot of fabric because she used to have her clothes custom-made when she was younger. While ransacking her things, she found some of them and I had come up with the idea of turning them into a dress and a topper, like the ones above.

Good Vibes

2011-10-31T00:15:00.000+08:00

Sunday is family day. My family and I went to church then headed to Greenhills. I canvassed on cellphone prices. I asked my mom to buy me a new one as my birthday present. I'm still torn between Blackberry and Samsung. Hmm.

New studded cuffs I bought from the UP bazaar for only 10 pesos each! What a steal!

My mom loves this resto :)

Finally, I was able to taste milk tea from Zen Tea.

After Friday, all my exams will be over (but our thesis presentation is still yet to come)! Not only that, there are also two events that I'm excited about.

Chalk Fashion Rocks 2011

I bought my Chalk magazine weeks ago because I want to go to the event but since SM Megamall / Forever 21 announced that they will be having a 3-day sale this weekend, my mom told me to shop there instead.
