Carmine Hearts

Hello from Marikina again! Timecheck: 2:30am. I really have to sleep na, styling for ASAP later. Watch kayo ha! If bet nio lang.  Anyway, had a long but fulfilling day today. Of course I had to work (pullouts) but it was so much fun pala when your parents are with you. Hehe. For some reason they got all clingy and insisted on accompanying me. So funny coz my Dad kept commenting on dresses I was looking at, nakikistyle din. Lols. We were together the whole day and all we did was eat and eat. Also visited my ailing grandmother and watched "Olympus Has Fallen" with our adopted baby boy (who's now a teenager) John Dave and my sister too. Family day galore. Was supposed to go home to our apartment na but my Mom did the puss-in-boots technique and asked us to just stay in Marikina and just leave early tomorrow (later). So here I am in my old room with Mich and my sister who's now sleeping like babies. Haha. Enough with the rambling na, here are outfit shots from weeks ago!

Desino Dulce dress, Coloratti earrings, Asianvogue heels

Wore this to one of our national events day. Hehe. From day to night! Wore flats with the dress for the Laura Mercier event then wore heels for Bershka, TGIF and Antony Morato. Love how you could transition this dress and style it in many ways. :)

That's it for now! Will just work on more backlogs tomorrow. Have to doze off plus have to take care of our hyper dog Satu who's now nibbling on my sister's shoe. Lols. Happy Sunday!:)

Cascade Away

I know I said I won't be wearing mullet dresses or skirts anymore, but I have a few more beautiful pieces that I wanna share with you before I finally give up this trend. Here's another gorgeous dress sent by my favorite online store Sheinside.com! I love the color, flow, material and the overlapping front. :)

 

galit galitan hehe

Sheinside dress, Forever 21 denim vest, Asianvogue boots

Holic layered necklace & cross necklace, Iamgirlie bangle, Primadonna belt

So...bet nio ba my patakbo takbo shots? Feeling artsy lang mga ate. Haha! Okay serious na! On to the styling keme. This dress is so feminine and romantic on it's own, so I decided to take a different road on styling it. Wore it with my new denim vest from Forever 21, my favorite boots from Asianvogue and layered transparent necklaces from Holic. Added a pop of yellow with my Primadonna belt.  I'm sure it's quite obvious what look I'm going for here. Haha. Can you say grunge? :P Just paying tribute to my favorite movie this month--Rock of Ages! Parang ako ang peg ni Ateng Julianne with the denim jacket and girly dress noh? Lol.

How's your weekend so far now Instagram's down? Haha. Kidding. Hope you're not killing yourself over it or something. When all else fails, you can always twitpic! Or upload directly. Gow na yan. Lol. In other news, hope I get my voice back stat! Lost it after trying to over cure myself from cough and sorethroat. This is getting annoying. I can't order food, answer calls (tried it earlier and it's embarassing! All I can let out is a tiny squeak, FML), talk to my parents. Booo. Stay safe and well everyone!:) Love love love.

P.S. Winner of my Traveling CLoset giveaway is Hazelyn Guibani! Congrats!:)

Blogger Dinner + Shoe Party

One of the best rewards in blogging is finding new friends. I could say I found the best. :) We might be diverse but that's what we love about each other the most! Everyone's amazing. :) Anyway, this dramatic blog entry is a result of our blog sister Denise's visit to Manila! Yes, we met up with Ms. Katipunera herself. Here are some photos, but first my outfit. Heh. 

 Oxygen cutout shoulder top, thrifted shorts, Asian Vogue loafer heels, Fabmanila bag 

Bubbles necklace

Bedazzle cuff, Envy leather bracelet, Tomato watch

Love how clean this ensemble looks. Hehe. Wore this to a meeting and then to our blogger dinner. The cutout top was such a headturner! Injected color by wearing my favorite Bubbles necklace (love the color--it looks best with white, beiges or browns!) Also obsessed with my new garterized cuff/bracelet from Bedazzled. The design looks like laminated pinya. Win. (thanks Oxygen, tati & cat!)

Anyway, here are the rest of the photos! Coz you know, where there are bloggers, there is major camwhoring. Haha.

Port 88 Bazaar + Blogapalooza

Had an amazing weekend manning our booth at the Port 88 Bazaar and attending the Blogapalooza event! I currently have severe back & neck pains but it's totally worth it. Met a lot of blog sisters & saw a lot of old and new faces.:) Sorry if I was acting weird and looked strange that day--haven't slept for 2 days! So forgive me. =D

 

dress-BestFinds Xclusives, belt - SM Accs, shoes - Asian Vogue, satchel bag - Chicify, necklace - Bubbles, polka watch - Aldo, white leather bracelet - Les Roux

Been wanting to wear this floral dress I bought from BestFinds and I finally did last Saturday! Had it altered (neck was too low) and now it looks perfect. :) Wore it with my super pretty shoes from Asian Vogue, lovely tassel necklace (that my sister wants to steal) from BUBBLES and my new satchel bag (love the color, so vintage!) sent by Chicify! :) I feel so girly in fairness. Lol.

Here are the rest of the photos!

I had to leave early coz I tried to catch PROMOD's event at SM Megamall (which I failed to do coz it was traffic and it was late and I had to go back to Megatent to drop off the heavy loot bags from Blogapalooza). I was waiting for my loot bag when I heard the host call my id tag number! I won an Elle sling bag and a laptop bag from Tripologie! yey!

view from the stage --they were picking out the next winner (2 people had to jack & poy haha)

wowsa! amazing loots! free stuff + GCs. thanks to all the sponsors!:) (photo from Sir Rene)

I wasn't able to go to the Promod event coz it was already late, so I headed back to our bazaar booth again.

my sister helped me out--thanks sis!

happy shoppers?
