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

Pixie Cut-e

I'm always a big fan of short hair. I rarely keep my hair long because I don't know how to take care of my hair. The slightest frizz or flyaway is like a disease that I must get rid of immediately :D I'm also lazy combing my hair and having a short hair solves that problem. It's literally wash and wear. I little hair serum or gel, mess my hair a bit and I'm ready to go. It also helps that my mother and all four sisters usually sport short hair too. 

One particular style that I'm obsessing right now is the pixie cut hairstyle. I remember, I once had pixie cut hair --- during high school, when almost all of my female classmates have long hair. It was by accident how I got to have that hairstyle. I told the hairdresser to trim my hair. My hair then was a bit short already and all I want is trim the frizz. The hairdresser then turn the chair, against the mirror. I was thinking to myself --- why would he let me sit against the mirror when all I want is a trim. As he was snipping away, I can see the excess hair dropping on the floor... it was quite longer than I asked for. After he was done, he let me face the mirror again... I got the shock of my life ---my hair was too short that I thought I look like a boy! I wanted to cry/faint/shout at the hairdresser :D At school, I was hiding like a fugitive from our School Director because I know he'll disapprove of my "boyish" hair. During flag ceremony, I usually stand at the back, hiding from my taller classmates. As time passes though, I learned to love my pixie hair. It was low maintenance and cute (in my opinion). I look back at my first pixie cut and I silently thank that hairdresser for introducing it to me :D

Some say that your hair is your crowning glory which  you can emphasize by having long hair and that guys dig women with long hair. I say, my hair can still be my crowning glory even if it's short and that I really don't care what guys think about my hair. This is my hair so I can do whatever I want :D Also, at this day and age, more women are sporting short hair. I'm so happy that the women I admire style-wise are also sporting pixie cut hair. Emma Watson, Carey Mulligan, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Michelle Williams are just some of the celebrities that have this hairstyle and they look gorgeous! This inspires me to try pixie cut again. My face is rounder now than when I was in high school but I guess this won't stop me from deciding to cut my hair even shorter :) Let's see...
