Wildest Dreams

The rainy season's almost coming to an end -- which means it's that time of the year again to start stocking up on crop tops, denim cut-offs, flowy skirts, breezy dresses, and statement sunglasses in preparation for summer! I can totally envision myself wearing this outfit to the beach! Oh summer please come faster!

Daylight

Last week, I attended a food tasting event at Lights of Love Events Place located at Quezon City and went to Shangrila Plaza Mall soon after to attend the Marks and Spencer Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Show. The show featured lots of prints and vibrant colors in blue, green, and red. For menswear, swim shorts, lightweight jerseys and design tees were brought in unusual yet striking combinations of geranium, aqua, pink fizz, dark jade, and hyacinth. Collections for womenswear, on the other hand, included M&S Woman, Autograph, Classic, Per una, Indigo collection and Limited collection. Most were classic staples such as jeans, maxi dresses and knitwear in floral, tropical and tribal prints.

On to my outfit: this dress reminds me of summer because of the bright colors. I bought this at a bazaar last December and thought that this would be the perfect time to wear it. I was trying to pull off a polished look so I chose to wear less accessories and let my dress do all the talking. What do you think of my outfit? :)

Thanks to Marks and Spencer and Nuffnang Philippines for having me at the event!

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? :)

Snoe Bloggers Event

I was able to attend the 3rd Semi-Annual Bloggers Event of Snoe, where they showcased their past, present and future products. A week after this event, I needed to delete some photos from my memory card to make room for new ones. I deleted most of the photos from this event, knowing that I already transferred them to my laptop. Apparently, I was wrong. Now I'm left with only these photos taken during the later part of the event. 

I told my friends about Snoe, turned out that they've been using some of their products for a while now and they love it! :) For complete descriptions of their products, visit their official website here. Watch out for my reviews on Snoe products!

Wild Child

I haven't worn this jacket ever since I bought it at H&M. The heat here in the Philippines made it literally impossible for me to wear this on a regular day. So the second I knew that I'd be going to the extremely cold SMX for fashion week, I made a mental note to myself to wear the things that I've barely worn, specially those pieces intended for colder weather. At first, I wanted to pair this jacket with my leather pants but figured that I might have a hard time walking due to my leather pants being insanely tight. I settled for this skirt instead and went match-y match-y with my wedges.

The Classic Button Down

The button down is such a classic piece! I'm sure you considered of buying one at one point in your life. But before buying one, just like any other piece of clothing, make sure that the fit is right for you. I've had enough ill-fitting ones and trust me, it does make a big difference. You just have to look hard enough for the perfect one for you! What I love about button downs is that you can wear it with anything you want: be it printed shorts, floral skirt, or denim jeans, you name it! Its versatility makes it a must have in every girl's closet. And if you're an avid reader of my blog, you know I'm a sucker for classic pieces!

Russian inspired

I was feeling a bit experimental and decided to sport a look which you don't usually see in this country. It's probably because this outfit is for a slightly colder weather. Anyway, I went for a poncho with leather pants and topped it off with a fur hat and leopard print ankle boots. You can't see the boots here but you can have a peek if you look hard enough on the second photo. As for the fur hat, I always think that it looks kinda like the hats Russians wear in movies. Haha.

Thanks to my awesome photographer friends, Mika Singson for the first photo and Maui Uy for the second! :)

Double Trouble

Went for a super simple outfit today, the shoulder cut out top which I also wore here, paired with white pants. We attended the mass, then went straight to Omakase in Ayala Triangle for dinner. Afterwards, we chilled out a bit in Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. They have this really huge mirror which explains my reflection shots! :)

Girls' Night Out

Had a fabulous night out with my girlfriends at Greenbelt! First time we were able to go out since summer break. I'm wearing my hair extensions from 1721 (tutorial on that next time!). Don't you just love it? It makes my hair look longer and wavy in an instant! I'm also really happy about my white Lacoste bag. I can wear it anywhere- whether I'm trying to work the sporty look or even to casual nights out like this one. The size of the bag fits my taste perfectly. Currently, I'm digging bigger ones like this because I like being able to bring lots of stuff whenever I go out. What about you, what kind of bags are you into right now?

Thanks Phya for the photos! (Btw, join her blog giveaway!)

Sequins + Leather + Animal Print

I'm in a rush right now. So here's an ultra short recap on how my day went:
Ayala Museum for a photo exhibit. Dinner at John and Yoko. Dessert at Bizu. Shindig Party at NBC Tent.

Enjoy the photos! Most of them were taken by Phya. Join her giveaway here! :)

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!
