Another inspiration post while I`m still on hiatus, just to keep this blog more or less alive.

Sorry for the recent lack of posts. I`m currently dealing with a lot of issues too personal to share alongside academic requirements that I cannot will to accomplish themselves.

I will resume posting soon, I promise.

Keeping this bodycon dress classy for a baptismal ceremony by pairing it with plain back pumps and a crisp white blazer. I was a bit worried it looked rather too corporate, but the pattern on the dress kept it youthful enough to wear from day to night (sans the blazer at night, of course).

When donning on a lazy oversized polo, the best way to still look dressed is to put on a hat and some heels. When the clothes don`t make the cut, the headwear and the shoes will.

It`s the last day of Christmas break today, so this is my feeble attempt to cling onto what`s left of my holiday vacation before I start cramming for school work. I must say I really enjoyed this season`s celebrations and I hope you did too! :)

My mom and I are suckers for Disney on Ice. We never missed a show when I was a kid, and now it`s my sister`s turn to join in the fun. You can always count on Disney to bring you back to the times you believed in magic.

I thought I`d dress a little like Minnie for the occasion. Only then did I realize I don`t own a red skirt, so I improvised with shorts and oomphed the girly with a lace top instead. What do you think?

I spent the last few days of 2011 with Jian and his dad at Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija for a little R&R a.k.a. bass fishing. Definitely surprised myself by going, but I`m grateful for the bonding experience.

Also, the cold lake air, speedboat-enduced wind, and noontime sun are guilty of drawing me back to the humble beginnings of oversized comfort dressing. (That, and I was rather confused when Jian told me to pack for both really cold and really hot temperatures.) Nature really does have a way of making one pleasantly laid back.

I hope everyone was just as rejuvenated before welcoming 2012. Happy new year!

When else can I get away with a redish-greenish match and shoulder blades that scream out indulgence?

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Accidentally went for something quite mod with this block striped skirt & chunky white wedges, updating the trend with fringes and a bright red satchel. Fine, maybe I was a bit overdressed for a house gathering with close college friends, but I`d like to think this would have been a rather laid back outfit, save for the heels. And that`s precisely what I love about heels—you can pair them with the laziest and most casual of clothes, but they will ultimately render you to look more dressed up.

This was what I wore to one of the annual events I`ve grown to look forward to. The PCB White Christmas party is an intimate gathering hosted by some of my fondest friends from La Salle Green Hills. The occasion couldn`t have been more timely for this fur sweater that`s been hanging inside my closet, patiently waiting for me to heed its call to be worn.

It was cold enough to wear jeans yesterday so I took the opportunity to finally use these light brown pants from Topshop. I swear by Topshop when I need want jeans with a flawless fit. Which is why when my mom scolded me for charging a rather sizable amount on my credit card, I had absolutely no regrets. Sometimes, you just can`t scrimp on the perfect fit.

Since Manila weather is perpetually indecisive, I thought it would be wise to dress for in between seasons. As in, clothes that are both suited for hot and rainy weather. I`m especially adoring Muji for its cape-like knit with a detachable hoodie as an example. Muji is steadily becoming one of my favorite brands—nothing too fancy, but extremely functional and still very appealing.
