so i'm doing a backward post of the outfits i've worn this weekend since i still haven't received the photos from last friday and saturday. this is what i wore last sunday when we had lunch at conti's in serendra with my brother-in-law's family :) was supposed to wear a no-brainer lazy sunday maxi dress but it was raining heavily that day :( so instead i wore this very cute I <3 STRAWBERRY tank top i got a few months back from a thrift store...it looks new!!!! and fancy cos of all the crystals! and it doesn't hurt that i really love strawberries too :)

P.S.

blogspot is acting up again!!! your comments from my last post are said to be moderated even if i haven't even published them :(

i got some sheer, a little bit of leather and a whole lot of black

hello tuesday! tuesday is the only time on weekdays wherein i can be relaxed because i don't have to work (although i have a lot chores to do and i go to church with mom at night) and that only means one thing, i have time to blog! :)

i've never been this excited with any outfit before! i don't know but there's something about this outfit that makes me giddy to share it with everyone. i've been thinking about the sheer top i found in my mom's closet (which is originally my sister's but she sadly admits she was the one who bought it) ever since lace became a trend again. i thought the sheer top would be so perfect with blazers (just like lace tops). then a few days ago, i saw stylescrapbook and theblondesalad wearing their sheer tops and i knew i just had to revive mine (it's mine now, ha!). 

the original plan was to wear it with a blazer but i thought it would be perfect with these high-waisted leather shorts i bought last friday from the thrift store (guess how much i got it for??)...and wahlah, it didn't disappoint me! it looks so much in sync...like it was meant to be! :) :) :) plus i've always wanted to rock the closed button button-down polo look ever since i saw liz uy rocked it a couple of times during philippine fashion week.

when i twitpic the first photo for my sister to see, she said she loved it and it looks like a "sosyal na kontrabida (classy villain)". i really wanted to show her that this sheer top can actually be reinvented in a way that it won't look hoochy.

whoever said that sheer with leather is hoochy, didn't know how to style ;)

i have one problem with these leather shorts though...you have to make sure that when being photographed, it is all ironed and straightened out because a few wrinkles would make it look like you have a bulge (note to self: maintain proper posture all the time). HAHA!!!

but tell me...the hair pulled back and braided is so perfect for this outfit, yeah? :)

HAPPY SUNDAY Y'ALL!

like i've said in my last post, i'll be getting new skirts and so i did. i will just tell you the whole story about my shopping spree with abby when i do get our pictures from yesterday. 

still waiting for her mail :)

i RARELY go clubbing anymore but i think this is the perfect wear for clubbing while dancing to rihanna's rude boy. i am addicted to that song ever since i saw her perform it in ellen!

 

 

 

 

one-shoulder top given by my sister. skirt from Landmark. Chanel 2.55. DIY studded gladiator heels from a bazaar. H&M earrings.

i hate when people still brand me as a party girl because i am not ANYMORE. 

i used to but i don't like it that much anymore. 

i still want to go out once in a while, dance and drink 

but it's not like i'm going to do it every saturday like i used to. 

it's just sad that when you say you've changed...

a lot of people still think of it as a negative thing. 

change is good. 

ever heard of that???

I WANT!!! I WANT!!!

sharing something from Eat, Pray, Love yet again...I wish ALL men would be like Felipe. 
t's not all about sex you know and if it's all about it, BYEEEE!!!!

 

  

 

all photos and sources can be found at my tumblr 

FELIPE TO LIZ: "For another thing, I think I know what you're worried about. Some man is going to come to your life and take everything from you again. I won't do that to you, darling. I've been alone for a long time, too, and I've lost a great deal in love, just like you have. I don't want us to take anything from each other. It's just that I've never enjoyed anyone's company as much as I enjoy yours, and I'd like to be with you. Dont worry-- I'm not going to chase you back to New York when you leave in September. And as for all those reasons you told me a few weeks ago that you didn't want to take a lover...Well, think of it this way. I don't care if you shave your legs every day, I already love your body, you've already told me your entire life story and you don't want to have to worry about birth control--I've had a vasectomy."

LIZ: "Felipe, that's the most appealing and romantic offer a man has ever made to me."

And it was. But still I said no.

FELIPE: "That's fine, darling. But come over to my house tomorrow night for dinner, and I'll make you a steak."

Then he drove off and I went to bed alone. 

can't wait for summer!

i'm so so sorry if i've been absent from my blog. i've been way too busy last week and i'm sure i would be hella busier this week and the next! please bear with my blog being stagnant.

anyway, the reason why i'm busy...MY SISTER IS IN TOWN!!! 

yes, my sister from canada is back in the country for 3 weeks :) last week though was a little sad :( the real reason why my sister went home is actually because her father-in-law died :( sucha sad sad moment for everyone but he is with God right now. he is home. we will surely you, daddy benny :(

chanel making summer so chic

i actually stayed in the south for 4 days because i live in the north and i have to hold my sister's hand all throughout the wake and the burial as she held her husband's. never thought i'd enjoy living in the south but i kind of did...surprisingly.

so, this week, we'll be busy too going out. our agenda this week: white moon, the fort night out and tagaytay :)

and next week, we are hitting the beach!!!! so random!!! i just got a call from my sister today saying that we are going to boracay!!! yay! yay! yay! i actually have given up on the boracay thought but i guess it's meant to be! :) :) :) it's so random that my wardrobe is not prepared for a beach trip...so random that i haven't worked my ass out to fit it in that skimpy bikini! i am killing myself this week to get back in shape the fastest way possible! i hope i can still make it *crossing fingers* i have to look good cos my bro-in-law will take pics using his SLR and i am dyiiiiiiiiiiiiing already to cover up all my flaws! HAHA!

on a happier note, i have the faux fur vest already from my sister! im going to use it soon...probably in tagaytay cos im literal like that =P other pasalubongs i'm crazy about:

* RL tote

* H&M earrings

* bath and body works perfume

* old navy zebra printed maxi dress

* 2 bikini bottoms from the gap

* shiny shimmering tights (it is loooove!)

i forgot the others already! sooo many kc. my sister is love. seriously, she is LOVE. haha!

P.S.

she also got me this.

??? Coco Chanel ???

i can live without you...

 

 

...but i don't want to.

as you all know, i am in love with chanel. i am gaga over chanel!!! i live and breathe chanel! if i have all the money in the world, i will buy chanel today, tomorrow, the next and the next day!!! yes, it is 2010 but my love for chanel has never changed. will never ever, i think.

so anyway, holiday season will be officially over tomorrow! we all need to go back to reality...work out our fat asses and fill our pockets with money from work again. i must admit...i actually missed working/writing. i missed not being too caught up with the facebook world. i now know every single detail about each friend i have just because i have nothing better to do than snoop around. not fun, all the time, i must say.

another not fun part, my tummy. it is saying "hello you!" already. i need to start yoga, cardio, diet...all the works! tomorrow. i miss miss yoga! i want to be devoted! i want to join a bikram class! i want to be really really healthy! i want to detox again from alcohol...PATRON ESPECIALLY!!!! i want to get a massage too! i really can't wait to start my 2010 right!!!

i hope that i can take some action on my goals this 2010. i'm always setting goals but i am not taking action to achieve them...either i'm too afraid to commit or i'm just plain lazy. so THE goals:

*travel alone (i had this idea of living in boracay for a month...i want to be on my own. actually, i have friends from there since i lived there before too but back then, i lived with my bf for a month. i just like the idea of waking up in the morning, running by the shore or doing yoga while the sun is just rising :) having breakfast by the sea while reading a book :) then come afternoon, i'll skimboard with my friends and have cocktails during happy hour :) end the night either dancing or just staring at the moon, the wind blowing my hair. ahhhh!!! the life!!!! i want it but i am too scared to get out of my comfort zone. i am REALLY REALLY scared to hell to be alone. to be without TV. to be without friends. but i know that someday, i might have to face this fear. i don't know when i will have the guts to do so but i have to. i just have to.)

*study styling in FIP (it's just a short course that you have to do on mondays for about 2 months i think but i am thinking if it is worth it ba. i'm just torn because i would love to have a professional background in fashion but then again when i think about it, why do i need it when i know that you can learn more from the streets? i'm going to pay for my tuition so i'm really really torn!!! should i just use the money for shopping or traveling?)

so you guys!!!! please help me!!! im in a rut. im torn!!! im scared!!! with that, maybe i should just read this over and over again...from one of my fave movies...

"So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It�s probably worth it."
