Surprise

I don't know what got into me, but I've been loving the color red recently! I wore this outfit to work. It looks pretty conservative from the front but surprisingly daring at the back because of the cutouts. I thought I could make it more work-appropriate by wearing a black tube top underneath but when I got to the office, I realized that it was still a bit too daring. I hurriedly grabbed my cardigan (which was hidden in my drawer specifically for emergency cases), and was saved from an embarrassing fashion disaster!

Keeping Up With Tradition

It has always been our tradition to wear red every Chinese New Year. This year, it was on the 19th of February, but we didn't have anything planned on that day since we already celebrated the night before (New Year's Eve). I still wanted to dress up and wear something special though. For what reason? I'm not sure exactly. To kickstart the year, perhaps. So far, my 2015 has been awesome! How about yours?

Birthday Girl

It came as a big surprise when my parents asked me if I wanted to spend my birthday in Singapore. Well, why not? We spent three days there, mostly just eating and shopping. Lol. If I remember correctly, this was my fourth visit to Singapore. I didn't actually expect that I'd still be amazed at how beautiful the place is. And everything's just so efficient and organized! I mean, in my entire stay, I didn't see any traffic in the streets. In fact, it's very fast and easy to travel from one place to another. And plants are everywhere, even in the busiest of streets!

I had a simple dinner with my parents on my birthday at Pizzeria Mozza in Marina Bay Sands (review coming soon!). Thinking that the weather in Singapore would be the same in Manila (back when it wasn't raining that much yet), I packed only thin and lightweight pieces. Wrong move! It was chillier there, and it rained everyday during our stay. It was lucky that the rain only lasted a few hours each time, so we were still able to go around the city.

Floral Pants

Last year, I was desperately looking for a pair of floral pants to add to my closet. Months passed and I still haven't found the perfect one. I've been looking for so long that I just forgot about it, until last Christmas, when my relatives surprised me with a pair of floral pants for a gift. I was literally jumping for joy and made it a point to wear it as soon as I could. Coincidentally, I was also looking for something to go with this top from Mango. I bought it last December and haven't worn it since. What do you think of the outfit? :)

Red

Happy Chinese New Year to all of you! It is believed that wearing red on the New Year will bring you luck and prosperity for the rest of the year so I decided that it is about time I post this set of photos. Almost a month ago, I was invited by a friend to model for their clothing line called Silhouette. It was originally scheduled last year but since all of us were getting busy preparing for the holidays, they rescheduled it to January. This dress is my favorite from their collection and if you're interested to have one, you can check out their page on Facebook. Thanks Nikka and Didin! I had a great time with you guys! Watch out for my future posts to see the other dresses I modeled!

Gold Accents

These photos were taken last October during the Philippine Fashion Week. Talk about major backlog. Anyway, this was the time when I was too lazy and couldn't think of anything to wear no matter how hard I try. Then, just before the event, an idea struck me! I remembered that I hadn't worn this jacket ever since I bought it from Joanna Ladrido's booth at the Bloggers' United 2 (Don't remember my steals at the BU2? Click here!). It was the perfect time to wear the jacket, because the baroque trend is so much in season! This was also the first time I was able to wear my peplum shorts. We usually see peplum in skirts, dresses and tops but rarely in shorts, which is why I bought it! The shorts being on sale at Php150 was definitely a plus!

My friend, Phya, told me that we should have our make up done at the L'Oreal booth. The make-up artist who did my makeup was amazing! The pictures are enough proof, don't you think? :)

Prim and Proper

I was supposed to wear this top with shorts but figured that it can also be paired with this nude colored peplum skirt and a collar necklace for a prim and proper look.

I received this collar necklace from Twinkies Inc just last Tuesday, together with a really nice black bangle. They sell very trendy but affordable pieces so I suggest you visit their online shop. Hurry, better check out their stuff before they run out!

P.S. It was annoyingly windy when these photos were taken. So, yeah.

Kid At Heart- Universal Studios Singapore

Since I was a kid, my favorite part of going abroad is visiting amusement parks. I just love experiencing the thrill of being in those extremely scary rides. Oh, which reminds me, I have to go back there to ride the Battlestar Galactica, I hadn't had the chance to ride it. I won't ever get tired of going to these places! The bucket list of the adventure-seeking me include: ride roller coasters which hold world records, bungee jumping (Okay, I totally chickened out when I was in Macau tower, but I promised myself it won't happen again), sky diving, skiing, surfing (and windsurfing does not count!) to name a few.

P.S. Sorry, I wasn't able to update this blog regularly. School work is INSANE right now. :)

P.P.S. I will be removing the link of this blog to my Facebook profile because I see my Facebook profile as really personal and I don't like bugging people to check my blog just because it always appears on their news feed. For those of you who are really interested in reading my blog, typing my URL in the address bar won't hurt, right? Til next time! :)

Blogger's United Haul

Hey guys! Just a quick post.

I'm still not that well after getting food poisoning several days ago. So to make my time at home useful, I'll share with you the photos of the things I bought during the Blogger's United 2. (And hopefully, I'll get better tomorrow.)

Plaid

This is what I wore in a college event a few weeks ago. Then, we came to party, party, party afterwards! Changed to shorts and flats before going home because although my shoes may seem comfortable, they're really not when worn the whole night.

Thanks to Phya and Fran for the photos!
