Ribbons and Polka dots.

So I haven't been able to blog for awhile now since I've been busy with school. But let me start of my blog post with a big hello to September! Busier days are coming my way. This outfit post was taken back in August when I was gonna go out to meet my boyfriend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Just wanted to feel a little more girly than usual ;) So I hope you're ready for a bunch of my awkward poses ;)

First time I used this top since I bought it a few months ago. I don't really go out that much anymore and didn't find an occasion where I could wear it until this day. It's a plain white braided boho top from Apartment 8 Clothing. It's a flowy top which is very comfortable because of it's stretch material. The only problem I had with this top was that it was still a little loose for me so the front tends to drop when I move too much and that's their smallest size already.

For a girlier look I paired this top with my navy blue skirt with white polka dots from Forever 21. I love this skirt because it's also flowy, loose and it's very comfortable because I can easily move around in it. Paired the outfit with my white sandals with cute bow details from Hal Footwear to top off the feminine look. Since I find it hard to decide which shoes to wear, I always try to match it with the color of the top I'm wearing. I wore flats since I knew we were gonna be doing a lot of walking and I find it uncomfortable wearing heels when I'm wearing a short skirt. ;)

These cute bracelets are from Arm Party Manila. The one's on the right are actually a set of white, black and gold bracelets but I only wore those 2 so I wouldn't have too much color on me if I chose to wear the gold ones. The black bracelet are actually skulls but can't be seen clearly in the photo. The bracelet on the left is a large cross with crystals. I love how it gives off a shimmering/sparkling effect when you wear it. They sell a lot of affordable accessories so come check them out!

My nude bag is from Mango, it's the first nude-colored bag which I bought ever in my life. I bought it without hesitation thinking that I need something which is neutral colored in my wardrobe for once. The size is just right for my wallet, comb, a bit of make-up, just the basic necessities of a girly girl, and it doesn't look bulky at all even though I have a big wallet. Finally, in case of a cold night, I brought this black cardigan from Mango as well. A little color doesn't hurt from time to time, but I love putting all neutral colors together without going overboard of my color scheme. Plus, I had pink nails! Which puts a little color in my whole look. ;)

Feeling Pretty In Pink.

Just a little something I wore when I had lunch out with my family. I don't really wear heels/wedges that much  when I go out because I usually ride a cab when I go to place, but I took this chance to wear wedges since they're bringing a car and it won't feel much of a hassle going to and fro. :)

The "very awkward pose" pose. Haha. I look like I'm feeling smug. But just had to post it because it's funny. :)

Nude cardigan: Forever 21

Pink sleeveless top (used as inner top): Forever 21

Sheer pink top: Bazaar

Gray pants: Penshoppe

Black wedges: Pill

One of the two funny shots for me. I don't really know what I was doing here. Coz I don't really know how to pose when my picture's being taken solo and I just try to copy what I see people doing on their shots. I tried this one out and it actually turned hilarious for me but I just had to post it. :D It kinda struck to me somehow that there's something about this picture though. XD

Hope you enjoyed this post and lemme know what you think.

And if you have an account on Chictopia please vote for my look.

Thanks! :)

America's Suiteheart

My first outfit post since I've returned to blogging. Teehee! ;) If you're wondering about the title of this look, it's a song from a band called Fall Out Boy.

Here's a little something which I wore for Valentine's Day. I've been meaning to wear this corset top for a while since I don't have any high waist skirt and I don't want my tummy to be showing. :p I didn't want to wear any accessories because there's already print on my top and skirt. Although it might be nice to have a short, simple necklace and maybe I should have fixed my hair up in a bun or something. :)

P.S. You can see the new color of my hair here clearly :)

Here Comes NOT The Bride.

Last December, my family and I went to Tagatay to attend my cousin's wedding. Although the Philippines is a tropical country, it was really cold in Tagatay during that time so I took the opportunity to use my shawl as a scarf, Korean-style. ;)

Striped cardigan: Forever 21

Ivory shawl: Forever 21

White sneakers: Keds

Top: Bench

Pants: Penshoppe

There's this one spot in the garden where the lighting was amazing and some of the shots looked like it was morning that time even though it was night time. Here are some shots taken by my aunt although it was my uncle who gestured what to do and used another camera for wonderful shots. Each of us in the family had our pictures taken although I'm only posting mine for privacy reasons from my family. :)

I'll be sharing some photos of my family on the day of the wedding though because they're all right with it. :)

My cousin (the groom) and his family.

 The bride and the groom. I really love the bride's gown. :)

This is my family from my mother's side.

 Feeling like the bride while holding a bouquet. ;)

The bride and the groom again. Just love the lace details on the bride's gown :)

With my cousins and my niece. 

Here's what I wore during the wedding. The theme was pastel and this was just something I found on short notice. A pastel pink dress from Cinderella (the top is lace) and the shoes are my favorite pair from Comfit. I don't really have a nice solo shot so here are ones I can only upload. :)

Last is a picture with the bride, who if you'll notice actually changed her gown during the reception. I love this picture because of how the shawl looked like as I used it as a "jacket". Remember I told you it was really cold there? Well, the shawl wasn't enough coz I was freezing cold that night.

Note to self: Next time wear a longer dress or something which can be matched with a blazer or anything you can cover up. :p

Funny Weather We're Having.

Just wanted to share some old photos of mine back when I just colored my hair after 4 years since I last had it colored. :) I don't know why I thought of wearing shorts with knee-high boots but I felt like it. I don't normally dress up like this since I always commute when I got out. So when I'm wearing shorts I just pair it with sneakers or I just wear pants. I got to wear this since my aunt was going to pick me up at home and she has a car so we'll go to Eastwood (mall) in it.

It was almost night time so it was going to be a bit chilly that's why I had the nerve to wear long sleeves. But I still wanted to look a bit casual and comfy by wearing shorts.

The black long sleeved top was given to me by one of my aunts. It's really pretty and it's actually thrifted. I think it's one of those overruns though because there was a cut tag inside the shirt. The denim shorts and the neon necklace is from Forever 21 and I love that necklace because it looks geeky yet stylish. Lastly, the black boots are from a store called Babo and it's really comfortable to use.

There was free wireless internet in the salon so I took some vain shots while waiting. ;) And finally, the finished product. From black hair to copper blonde. :) Hoping to grow my hair longer and have it permed for that girly look. ;) (Edited with Diptic app)

Pastel Dreams.

Ever since satchels became trendy again, I've always wanted to buy one. I find satchels cute especially the light colored ones (this coming from a girl who used to wear/use anything but black). When I joined Chictopia, I was inspired to start wearing colorful clothes or light colored ones. What really inspired me were people who were pastel colored clothes. To me, they look feminine, romantic and pretty because of the light colored tones which they put together. 

I found it hard to find shops which sell satchels because the online stores which I know have run out of stock already and the ones which were left are just dark colored satchels. I finally found a store which had pastel colored satchels and where you can choose the size of the satchel which you want. The online store is called Studio Boheme. They have a vast collection of satchels and you can even have yours customized from the color you want, the size, the designs, and even small details like bows on the straps, etc.

How I Used My Satchel For The First Time

I wore this when I went to school and went out for lunch afterwards with my boyfriend. I was wearing a sleeveless top that time and since it's going to be cold in the mall, I thought of wearing a jacket over it. I didn't know what color I’d wear because the only cardigans I had were yellow, gray and black. Then I found this old brown cardigan which used to belong to my mom and it fits me perfectly. I decided to tuck in my top because it was longer than my cardigan and wore a matching brown belt. I just love the color combination of pink and brown. Wore the bangles which I bought from Forever 21 as well for the first time since I bought it.

What I'm Wearing

Top: Thrifted

Brown Cardigan: Mom's

Light Blue Skinny Jeans: Topshop

Brown Belt: Given to me as a gift

Satchel: Studio Boheme

Pink Bangles: Forever 21

The Package I Received From Studio Boheme

Pastel Yellow & Pastel Pink Satchels

The Pink Panther.

Saw this cute printed scarf on a magazine months ago but in a different brand and much more expensive. Was surprised to see a similar kind in Forever 21 when I went there with my mom. I was happy to be able to buy this because it was a lot cheaper and because I liked the color and the print. I love pairing it with a simple white or black top so that the print would stand out.

For this look, I decided to go for denim shorts and boots for that casual, yet still outgoing look. Feeling like strolling under the bright rays of the sun, I wore shades and simple black bangles, again trying to make the look simple so that the scarf will still stand out.

These boots are my favorite. I searched for boots like these for a long time and finally found a cheap one in the mall. The brand is called Babo and they sell a lot of cheap, but gorgeous shoes. I wanted to buy another pair from them but when I went back the store was already closed. It's hard to wear boots in the Philippines because of the hot weather, but I just love boots especially when paired with dresses and leggings so I often wear it on rainy days or during cold months like November-December.

I borrowed these bangles from my aunt.
