when you can't swim...

HAPPY TUESDAY LOVES :)

so nothing spectacular really happened in the past two days. yesterday, we just went to the mall...this time a bigger mall. we also went to watch eat pray love today which as usual, the book is better than the movie. 

for my first purchase in canada (using my own money), i was able to buy some laced wedge at forever 21. they have this style too in the philippines but back then, i didn't really want them. well actually, i really wanted to buy the wedge booties but they didn't have it in my size here anymore. apparently, everyone here is size 9...BOO-HOO!!! my sister bought me some blazer cardigan too from joe (it was marked down from $30 to $9) and some lingerie from la senza (which was also on sale! 10 pcs for only $26). i'm really not that ecstatic when it comes to shopping here yet because:

1. i don't have money yet (i start working on the 25th)

2. i still don't know what to buy or where to buy them

3. my sister and brother-in-law are always with me which makes it hard for me to linger on the stores

the day will eventually come when i'll be the expert when it comes to canada shopping ;)

so anyway, it is summer here but you can't really swim because there are really no nearby beaches around. there are lakes and that's it :( 

so i say...when you can't swim, wear a bathing suit ;) 

yep, i am wearing my sister's bathing suit as a top...i just love the polka dots, the bright blue and the sweetheart neckline. so the next time you ran out of something to wear, check your swimwear drawer and who knows? you just might find something better than a top =P 

thrifted blazer, denim shorts and studded flats. swimsuit used as a top from my sister's closet. H&M sling bag. xoxo shades. f21 cross connector ring. peace bracelet from a friend.

i think tomorrow we're going to a farm but i'm more looking forward to this weekend ;) ;) ;)

P.S.

notice my font's bigger? well, my sister said my old font is too small for older people like her. LOL :) i'm also thinking if i should continue updating my chictopia or just concentrate on my blog...what do you guys think? lemme know :)
