Daily Outfit: Boogie Bash

Here's a quick post of my outfit and other extras of our Christmas Party held last December 10 at PICC Reception Hall.

the invitation :)

As I've mentioned in my previous post, I'm not exactly the type of person who wears costume in a Costume Party. I'm just wearing the "essence" of it... in this this case, the theme is 70s inspired. The print of the dress and the beaded sandals are definitely 70s inspired :D

Sadly, I haven't won a single thing in the raffle (yet again! boo!). They gave away IPad, DSLRs, BB Playbook, Rudy Project watches, Plasma TVs, overnight stay at Mandarin Oriental, and other minor prizes. Well, better luck (again & again) next time.

Overall, it was a very fun night... good food, good company, good entertainment :)

Fever Pitch

It's been a while since my last post. Due to (emotional) stress at work & ever changing weather, I didn't have the energy to do anything else. Worst yet, I got sick :( So yes, these are the reasons that I wasn't able to update as much as I want to. I didn't even got to upload pics at Chictopia as well. I have 3 outfit pics that were not uploaded before I got sick so I'm just going to post it all at once (hehe time saver :p)

I'm feeling much better now (physically & emotionally). I just hope that nothing/no one will ruin my week again. Ok... happy thoughts where are you? :D

Here are the pics:

Polka dot dress: thirfted, belt & lace up booties: Landmark, lace bangle: bazaar

My outfit last May 12. I'm so happy with this dress because I bought it in perfect condition for only P35 at a thrift shop in Baguio :D It has a retro vibe and it can be accessorized in a lot of ways (I was planning to wear it with a red belt that I haven't used in a long time... sadly, because I gained to much weight, the belt no longer fits me!). To give my usual favorite heels some rest, I resurrected my lace up booties (looking back at this pic, it made my legs shorter. Too late for that now).

Top: bought from Australia, polka dot & stripes skirt: SM surplus, floral flats: bazaar, wire bangle: Landmark, earrings: Forever 21

This was my outfit last Monday, May 16. Now I remember the reason why I haven't used the lace up booties in a long time... it's way to high and uncomfortable that I sprained my ankles yet again wearing it :( So this time, I wear flats... the color of the flats matches all the colors in the skirt (serendipity I guess). I made my look simple because I remember that it was a very hot day! I got sick that night (and its probably because of the hot weather outside + sub zero temp inside the office) and was on sick leave the following day.

Floral & polka dots top: thrifted, belt: Landmark, bag & sandals & jeans: SM Department store, ring: Forever 21

This outfit was taken May 20. I love this (yet another) thrifted find because of its pattern. A combination of two different floral prints PLUS polka dots :P Print overload (in a good way... to me). I paired it with simple accessories. This is also the first time that I wore the sandals that I bought at the SM Mega Sale.


Hmm... funny that when I was putting captions, I only realize now that I was wearing florals &/or polka dots continuously for the last two weeks :D

So this is it for now. I really hope I can get my energy again to post blogs on a regular basis :)

Mega Sale!

As much as I want to blog about Prince William & Kate's wedding, I was at work at that time and didn't get to see much of it. What I want to say though is that Kate (or should I say, HRH Princess Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) looks amazing in that wedding dress! It's true to her style - classic and regal.

Anyway, what I want to share to you is my experience with the ongoing 3-day sale at SM Megamall (April 29-May 1). I went there yesterday and I have to say, it's both exciting and exhausting! Exciting because there are a lot to choose from... and exhausting because I feel like half of the population of Manila is there! :P I swear, at one point I thought that I was going to faint...

I have taken pics of my purchases. Again, I do apologize for my lack of photography and editing skills... do appreciate the items though :D

Here's the pic of what I wore that day:

Top, shorts, & beaded sandals: SM (haha I only realized it now that all of it are from SM :p), sequined bag: thrifted.

I bought a dress and 2 tops from SM Department Store. I could have bought more if not for the hoards of people inside :p (it's hard to move and carry a lot with that condition)


animal print sleeveless dress... light enough that it's good for the increasingly hot weather. dress: Samlin

 

upclose pic of the dress... it actually has a stripe detail as well :)

 

My favorite purchase in the department store. It's a chiffon top with nautical details :) perfect for summer! top: Unica Hija

Pleated top with flower print trim and ribbon belt. It's very vintage- looking which is ideal for pencil cut skirts or slim pants

Also, when I usually go to Forever 21, I only end up buying accessories... but this time I was finally able to buy 3 outfits which I sooo love! :D



This boho top may not be the ideal color for summer but I was really drawn to the details... so I will still think about when I should wear this :D



Details on the top.... so exotic looking :D



This is another bohemian top which I can definitely wear this summer! It's light colored and sheer :)



The embroidered details, the tassels, and lace... perfect! This is my favorite purchase in F21.



Red satin dress with sleeve details. When I bought this, I really thought that it's fuschia pink. It was only when I was taking pictures of it did I realize that it's actually red (and I didn't read the tag which indicated that it's Red :P)

The sleeve... it's a cool and surprising detail for a simple dress :)

I can say that even if I ended up so tired when I reached home, it was a very fruitful day indeed ;)

P.S. I mentioned on my previous post that I'll be posting my ukay purchases from Baguio. Well, I forgot to take pictures plus I already sent the outfits to the laundry shop... so I'll just post them one of these days (I hope) :P
