Shopping Time!: Solemate

Happy Valentines Day!!! :D

Sorry for the long absence. I got sick (yet again huhu) and then I went home to Baguio City to celebrate my mother's birthday. Anyway, my post has nothing to do with Valentines Day with all the notion of soulmate and everlasting love :p This is regarding the brand of flats I recently discovered at SM Department Store. When I went home to Baguio, I unfortunately brought flats that gave me really painful blisters. I was forced to find new shoes that will help me ease the pain. I stumbled upon these pairs when I saw a sign that says "Buy 2 pairs for P399.75"! One pair costs P299.75 so I really got a big discount by buying 2 pairs :) There are a lot of colors to choose from; some were even printed. In the end, I chose 2 plain but colorful pairs.

Fuschia Pink

Red

The best part is the materials used. The cloth is similar to a sweatshirt or jogging pants so it's super comfy and flexible. Too bad part I can't used this if it's raining :( I guess there are some sacrifices to make to compensate for comfort :D).

Nothing much to talk about today's happenings since I was in the office the whole time. However,our company gave red heart-shaped balloons & chocolates to each employee so we were not totally left out from the "festivities" :P

Hope you enjoyed your day :)

Daily Outfit: Runaway with Me

The title of my Friday outfit post came from the bag... I already featured it here. The print reminds me of some romantic comedy movies where the girl finally realizes that she loves the guy and then chases after him. The guy is then lovingly waiting for her in his arms and after that, they run away together...  hahaha I'm really watching far too many rom-com movies :P

top: Bench, necklace: DIY from old necklace, bag: Krizia, lace flats: Milk & Co

I finally wore the DIY necklace featured in my previous post

I shall call this my "Romantic Comedy Bag" :)

 Here are two movies I think of when looking at my printed bag:

not exactly a bridge but the mood feels the same nonetheless :) *photo courtesy of ew.com*

Roman Holiday...I really love this movie!  *photo courtesy of telegraph.co.uk*

I had a very laid back & peaceful weekend... and I should congratulate myself for not buying anything :D But now, I have to sleep early because it's Monday again later... another five days of work... work that I'm thankful for (even if sometimes I complain about it :P).

Goodnight & Sweet Dreams pips! :)

Daily Outfit: Goodbye 2011!

Hi again! It's been a while since I posted anything. I got caught up with all the festivities and last minute things-to-do that I completely didn't open my blog. The saying "better late than never" always work, right? :) In time for New Year, I also have a new haircut :) Nothing much really... it's an updated bob cut with the back shorter than the front and shorter bangs. Anyway, here's what I wore on the last day of 2011:

top: given by sister, denim shorts: Jag, red flats: Parisian @ SM Dept Store, printed bag: thrifted

The flats I bought during the Christmas Sale. I love that it's sheer that I can see my toes :)  

This is currently my favorite 'ukay' bag :D My favorite bags are usually the thrifted ones hehehe

Now these are all things I ate that day (yikes! hahaha):

Fish gratinee with parmesan sauce (@Banapple Ayala Triangle) for brunch

Coffee Toffee Roca Pie... love it!

The simple New Year's feast with my friends... notice the 2 round fruits and the round baked potato halves :D

 I spent my New Year in Manila with my friends who weren't able to go home to their provinces. As for me, I already spent my Christmas with my family back in Baguio City. Unfortunately, my leave credits weren't enough for me to extend my vacation up until the New Year... (which brings me to the thought that I didn't post a Christmas blog! again... better late than never :P)

Hope your New Year festivities were fun and safe :) I didn't post any fireworks pictures because I didn't take any :D My friends & I were all afraid to go out thinking that there are "paputok" everywhere. I guess the New Year campaign of the Department of Health where they show graphic pics of missing fingers and bloody hands are effective! (for us, at least)

Here's to 2012 guys! Looking forward to another 365 days of fashion, great food & travels and good company!

XOXO

Christmas Shopping Part 1

I have to confess... I spent a lot this Christmas season (and still continuing to spend)... maybe it's the "Sale" sickness kicking in :D This is just a quick post of what I bought during the last 2 weeks (I'll post the others next time; I forgot to take pictures of them):

I bought several necklaces. Even if I create and sell accessories as well, there are times that I just fall in love with other accessories that I just have to buy them :D

bought at Cinderella; chickflickcollection.multiply.com necklace

necklaces: Landmark

close up details --- globe balloon (with bear inside the basket), red lobster, and peacock

 

 

I also bought 2 sheer tops with feminine details. Both are in muted colors... which is unusual for me since I'm a fan of very colorful tops :)

Blouse: Calypso @ SM Department Store

different shades of gray with embroidery and beads

 

Blouse: Calypso @ SM Department Store

sheer lace details up close

 Finally, I chanced upon a flats with sheer details (what's up with the sheer thingys :p). I really love this... my new favorite flats :D

Shoes: Parisian @ SM Department Store

up close details --- red color, ribbon and sheer floral details

So this is Part 1 of what I bought this Christmas season :D I'll try to post the other stuff I bought when I can. I'm currently busy packing since I'll be going home to my province (well, home city is more like it), Baguio City, for a well-deserved R&R and of course, to spend time with my family and old friends :)

In case I forgot to post during the holidays, I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Have a fun and safe holiday :)

XOXO

Fish Scales

Thank God it's Friday! :D I love it when all you have to do now is sleep and eat and not worry about work :p It's an added bonus that I'll actually be traveling to Hong Kong & Macau this weekend! I'm busy preparing my outfit that I'll be wearing so I want to keep this short.

The title pertains to the pattern of the top. It reminds me of fish scales :D What's amazing is the color... cobalt blue. I used to baby blues but now... the brighter, the better :P

I wear (more like abuse) my black jeans a lot... I actually have 2 pairs of this jeans because I just a hard time finding a good pair so when I finally found something that fits, I just have to buy 2 :D

I finished my outfit by wearing opposing types of accessories... the black chain necklace and the cheerful printed flats.

Top & Necklace: Landmark, Jeans: SM Dept Store, Flats: bought from bazaar

Cute fruit and flower print... with studs too!

The layered chain necklace

Crossroads

I'm trying... I'm trying to update my blog as much as I can. Yet I'm stuck at my day job, working like a slave :p Now, I'm unable to post blogs even if I want to. I'm fed up with my job that I just want to leave everything and leave... but I need money for my shopping needs :D

Enough about the drama... Let's get back to (blog) business. I joined this site - Chictopia.com. It's an online community where you can upload a (chic) picture of you and blog about what you feel regarding the outfit. The other members may comment and vote for your pics :) It's fun because you get to see other people's style and also find your next fashion inspiration. Since the members are from all over the world, you can check out the trends of people from other countries :D I still don't have a lot of points yet (especially compared to others whose styles are freakin' amazing!) but it challenges me to be more creative in my style and show the quirky and classic in me :D Now this is a fashion crossroad for me!


My camera's still busted so my items for today are archive photos of some of my shoes that I absolutely love (again) :p

I love flats... they're very comfy... but I'm not the type that buys simple flats...the quirky side of me comes out - I want embellished and/or printed flats (like the first 2 pics). As for heels, I'm not exactly a stilletto person as I don't think it can carry my weight. I want chunky heels or wedges if I feel like adding some height :)
