How's everyone doing? 

Just an update on my life: My time is currently divided between school work and blogging. Yes, you read that right: BLOGGING! As time goes on, I realize more and more that I really am passionate about blogging. I find myself excited every time I have new outfit shots to post and catch myself spending more and more time just thinking about it. I can see myself doing this for a long time, maybe for as long as I can. :)

Another thing that sparked my interest lately is makeup. I have never appreciated it before--I even told myself once that I'd never wear makeup. But one thing led to another, and I saw the wonders makeup can do, especially when done correctly. I'm not one who applies large amounts of makeup on myself: I'm more into using makeup to highlight features and add a natural glow. In some of my posts, I only used BB cream, face powder, and an eyebrow pencil. When I have extra time, I also apply eyeliner. I'm in a stage where I tend to experiment with makeup. Because of this, I now shop for less clothes and more cosmetics. I recently bought two BB creams and two lip creams. Another set of cosmetics is on its way (hihi). And I'm planning to buy more in the coming weeks. You can follow me on Twitter (@heyitsalyssayu) or Instagram (heyitsalyssayu) for  real time updates. Haha. :) 

Enjoy the photos!

Because I Said So

I wore this outfit to a day of shopping and dinner with friends. I bought the shorts from a bazaar last year at the World Trade Center. I forgot what bazaar it was though, haha. Speaking of bazaars, get a chance to win tickets to the Times Square Fashion Bazaar this weekend at SMX! Click here to know how. I'm so excited for this event! There will be fashion shows, games, giveaways, band performances and so much more! Hope to see you there! :))

If you're following me on Twitter or Instagram, I'm sure you may have read that I went to Cebu on the last week of December and stayed until the New Year. The clothes that I brought consisted mostly of shorts, loose tops and long dresses, thinking that the weather there would be hot and sunny, and luckily, I was right! I was missing the hot weather back then because before going to Cebu, I was staying in Legazpi, my hometown, where it was raining like crazy for days.

I don't know what's with Cebu that makes the place relaxing and exciting at the same time. It's like a more peaceful version of Manila without the insane traffic and the crowds of people. Cebu left a special place in my heart (sentimental much? haha) and I'm planning on going back there soon.

Back to my outfit, this is what I usually wear when I go shopping- just a simple top and shorts. I'll be doing a separate post on the type of clothes I wear when shopping. I'll be providing tips and ideas which can make shopping easier by carefully selecting the clothes you wear for the day.

P.S. Did you notice my new hair? This was the first time to have my hair dyed and seeing it in a different color still freaks me out sometimes. Do you think it suits me? :)
