Sweet As Mint

The rainy season is here, but it still feels like summer sometimes. I've been wearing the last few summer pieces that I have and is slowly transitioning to sweaters and layers. I am still cautious when I pile on clothes though because our weather's a little tricky. It would be raining cats & dogs in the morning, then sudden heatwave in the afternoon or vise versa. Define bipolar. Haha. Here are overdue outfit photos from our last summer paandars! Taken at Punta Del Este, Mindoro during our family vacay.

 Mint dress, Cotton On hat, Axis watch, Wear Vintage heart sunnies, Payless sneakers

My brother-in-law, Miles, wearing a tanktop from Mint!:)

This dress is a winner in so many levels. Love the print, cut, fit, style, color. Such a statement piece!:) Statement din my heart shaped sunglasses from Wear Vintage. So kyoooots. I want this in all other colors. Yup, it's available in other shades too. Moving on....

Here's Nico boy's outfit naman! He's always pacute but really camera shy (weh haha), hence all that awkwardness. Lol. Thanks for doing this! :p

Mint palm tree buttondown shirt, Avon sunglasses, Any any lang shorts, Havaianas slippers

I would definitely wear this shirt! I'll style this in some other way and will post it here. Soon!:)

MINT is still on sale!!! So go avail na!:) They have lots of nice pieces that you'd surely love. I'm obsessed with their men's polos and jackets! I've always been a fan of their eyewear too. As in pre-blogger days pa. I love how the brand has evolved and still evolving, offering something for everyone. Go check out their stores now!:)

Babies and Bows

Went to a christening today at Vista Verde Clubhouse. It is for my friend Ariane's baby girl, Aseana. :) I wasn't able to take a photo of her but she's such an angel. And she's so fasyon!!! She was wearing a red burberry inspired dress + a big red bow. Can't wait for her to grow up so she'd be my muse! Here's the few photos we were able to take...

l-r: my friend Aimee (manager of Saizen), Ms. Benny (owner of Pretty in Pink a ladies wear brand in Robinsons Department Store!), Fina (of the brand Sunflower--a brand you'd see at the accessories section in rob depstore)

Robinson's friends and their partners :)

Group shot:)

Went home early 'coz I still haven't prepared for our portfolio shoot tomorrow. I was panicking a little because I still don't have any pegs. Thank God for style.com! Now I'm on a roll, packing. Lol. Will be doing an editorial like layout inspired by Miu Miu's resort, pre-fall and fall collection! :) So excited. 

AND, finally found the perfect boater hat!!! Waaah! So happy. We went to Robinson's Metroeast just to look for baby stuffs. We were just finishing off our "ice scramble" (my fave!) before going inside the department store so we passed time looking at shops beside the entrance. Gozum was the first shop so I went inside and headed straight to the hats section to check, and voila! There it was, like a pot of gold. Hee! Of course, I tried it on first to check if it fits--with crossed fingers. And it was perfect! So happy 'coz I've been looking all over for one that will fit me perfectly. So...

...Anyway, here's what I wore! With me debuting my new hat. Minus the black cover-up...

And here's me in full haggardness glory (in tagalog: Loren Haggarda mode).

dress-thrifted, shoes-Elle, belt-from Vietnam, hat-genevieve gozum, bag-Thailand 

Oh, I also bought new clothes! So excited for these...

How cute is that Hello Kitty shirt?! Major, major!!! And I'm really hoping the pantsuit fits well so I could wear it to wednesday's event. That's it! Gotta snooze, I only got 3 hours left to sleep! Byeeee!:)

Of Sweet Triumphs

I haven't slept yet--well that's because I work at night--but I'll be sleeping with a huge grin on my face. Just got an email from Weardrobe that I was chosen to receive their Spotlight Blogger of the Day!!! =) Sweet.

Thank you Weardrobe! =)

On other news... I know I've been ranting and whining about how hard it is to look for a bowler hat here in Manila. And I swear I did what Nina Garcia said in her Style book about sleeping it off when you want to purchase something, and when you still want it the next day then buy it. I saw these babies on Ebay and after sleeping it off for weeks, after raking through a number of malls, bazaars and thrift shops, and failing to take home the trophy bowler hat everytime-- I knew I had to get it. 

Ebay FTW!=) I paid 32 Australian dollars (with shipping) for these babies. But I know it's worth it. Can't wait to get my hands on them! Oh, the agony of waiting. It'll be the longest 2 weeks of my life. Come to mama.

Just got lucky! Never thought I'd be fast enough to redeem it.
At least, I won't have to buy it in Ebay. Yey!

Thank you Chictopia!
