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!:)

Hello, Happiness.

Holing up in my apartment coz I am currently sick! Sucks. I have fever and I think I might have a kidney problem. Still waiting for the results so please pray for me!:) Have so much work to do and blog shiz that I feel weird just staying home. Di ako sanay. Hehe. Friends and cousins are here now ransacking my closet wahaha. I love having guests over coz it gets lonely sometimes. But don't get me wrong, I love my me time. :) Anyway, here are outfit photos taken by my girlfriend Tin after the Instax launch 2 weeks ago!:)

Mango dress used as top, Thrifted stripes vest, Forever 21 skirt, Christian Siriano for Payless boots

Another spur of the moment, rush outfit! Dress code for Instax was black/white and I wanted to wear something I could also wear to the Jollibee event. Tada! Any any nalang. Haha.

Anyway, my childhood friend Catch gave me a nice journal during my birthday. He encouraged me to write again. It's  been years since I last made a poem or a song. But the other day I finally had an epiphany, in a cab, while listening to Armin's "This Is What It Feels Like" and Cider Sky's "We Are In Love". Finally wrote a poem after all my brain dead years. Lol. Sharing!

"Electric Love"

Tangled, Renewed,

In the Nearness of You.

Done then Undone in a minute or two.

Dwell in the color & light of your eyes,

aimlessly treading audible lies.

Absolute nothings your touch can suffice, 

the infinite joy of an intangible vice.

Breathe this poignant purple haze,

save me from this unbearable maze.

Touch & fly like a white flannel dove,

surge in this electrical love. #

Happy Wednesday!:)

Girly Army + Packages + Cheap Monday

A fresh random post! Taken today lang. Woots. Anyway, wore this shirt last Sunday but decided to recycle and wear it again. Don't judge. Tao lng. Haha. Went to ABS earlier today to drop off clothes for Karylle, had the car washed and fixed (got hit from behind sa parking booo), had some documents notarized and went malling briefly. Skipped events and a meeting (an honest mistake) but was glad to spend the rest of the day with Mich. Here it is, rooftop hits!:)

 Heur Sheen shirt, Greenlane Shop shorts

Avon tote bag

Bubbles cap

Watch Factory watch, I Am Girlie love bracelet, Mango chain bracelet

Silverworks ring

Christian Siriano by Payless booties

So kyot the shirt noh? Would probably buy more of this. The Greenlane shorts came with a partner top but I decided to wear it separately.  The cap is from Bubbles which I can't resist wearing even if I'm not a camo fan. The Mango bracelet I got the other day, on sale. White cute mustache watch from Watch Factory. The silver snake ring, which fits perfectly by the way, is from Silverworks. And the shoes I got  on super sale from Payless Ayala Bacolod for P900, from P2k+.  And that ends this paragraph. Hahaha.

Now on to my ramblings. Had a killer week last week and I'm just happy to be having a chill next couple of weeks. I hope. Haha. No ASAP for 2 Sundays so yey to weekends! Heading to Tagaytay this Sunday for some R&R, long overdue na talaga. Will finally be able to use the Taal Vista voucher I  bought from Deal Grocer a couple of months ago.  

Anyway, here are photos from last week. Some gifts I received plus the Cheap Monday bag I designed!:)

Butterfly Twists foldable ballet flats in neon! So cute and comfy:)Thanks Perkcomm!

 Studded garterized sandals from ELEVATE MANILA! Love!

 Fabulous eagle necklace from GOLD COUTURE!

 My all time favorite hair product, VITRESS!

 Like a Sir watches from WATCH FACTORY!

 Weed top (hahaha totoo naman db) from SHOPTHISEASY.COM

 Awesome wedges from FANCY FEET!:) Headturner to swear.

Also went cray cray over drool inducing shoes at ALDO. Wanted this...

hello Carvey! haha

But bought my dream shoe design instead...

 lakas maka Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony noh?

As I said, I (together with some blogger loves) was asked to design a blank canvas bag from Cheap Monday. It was for an exhibit and I just found out that it would be auctioned. All for a good cause! I wanna buy mine haha:)) 

 best in cramming talagaa. Finished it the night before the given deadline.

 almost done

 done!

This is the 2nd time someone asked me to DIY something and come up with my own design. Remember Shulong? It's actually something I enjoy doing! Kakarealize ko lang nian 5 minutes ago hahaha. Anyway, the design I go for are always close to my heart. Things I desire, I love, I fancy. My Shulong pair was all about traveling and being nomadic, my Cheap Monday bag on the other hand was about my love for vintage and fascination with carnivals.   Used sharpie and craypass for this! Thanks Mich for guiding me through the design process hehe. Thanks also Ana for taking exhibit photos for us!:)

ATC exhibit. It's gonna be showcased in Bratpack, Greenbelt and Trinoma next this coming July!
