Loving Him Was Red

Taking a break from reading too much novels. I just finished Anna and the French Kiss and gooooooooosh. It was a damn good read. I can't take the book out of my hands the moment I started reading it. I'm starting to believe that I am a hopeless romantic.

Solidarity Weekend

"The shirt you wear shows you care." 

Went all casual last week and wore my #TulongPH shirt to show love for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda. It's been almost a month already since the typhoon hit the Philippines. It's one of the most destructive typhoons we ever had. Thousands of families in the Visayas were homeless, foodless for weeks. We could all help in our own little ways, just by wearing this simple shirt to help spread the word can even make a big difference. 

Seeing pictures and hearing news about the aftermath of the typhoon made me realize even more how lucky I am to have food, shelter, clothes, and not to mention, family for everyday of my life. Well anyway, we really cannot predict life. We will all have those ups and downs so let us just be thankful for what we have now - and enjoy every moment of it. ;)

I Heart NY

Oh yes, I <3 NY. Even though I haven't been to the city yet. And I wish I could go there real soon. Hello mommy, hello daddy, please let us go there!!!!!! LOL =))

Remember how I'm talking about hand-me-down clothes from my mom here? Well, here's another top from her. This used to be my pambahay top, pantulog even. :PP Then I thought, what a waste. And since cropped tops are big this season, I decided to make one out of my old clothes. Reinventing pieces such as this would help widen the range of your closet without spending money - perfect tip for students!! Especially if you're a college student with no uniform and don't want to repeat the same clothes to school again and again yet don't have the money to buy clothes everyday! :D

So anyway, I wore this super comfy outfit last June 7, 2013. It was the death anniversary of my grandfather. We went to North Cemetery early morning to pay respects and offer prayers. Then we went to Ortigas to claim the dress I won at the photo contest of SM GTW. Thanks to everyone who voted anyway! :* Then we went to Katie's house to make arrangements for my gown then went to SM Megamall to find some of the things we need.

Busy day? Indeed. :D That's why I went for sneakers. Well you know me, I always go for comfort! ;) We'd be sleeping at my aunt's house that night so I have to bring a bag to contain all my necessities. And I already told you that nothing could go wrong with my favorite bag, so I just grabbed it from the racks and stuffed it with my things.

Red Soles

Isn't this pair gorgeous?! My aunt just gave them to me. This is my first pair of heels, as I can remember. This used to be my favorite, but when pumps came out of the blue, I had a change of heart. Loljk. HAHAHA. It's just that one of the pumps I bought are really nice, glittery and not to mention only 2 inches high. This is 4 inches high, although it doesn't look that high in these pictures. HAHA

It's a Sunday when I wore this, and it means that it's church day. So I opted to wear pants this time. Since I'm already wearing pants, and I have to fight the heat this summer, I wore a striped-sleeveless top. Actually, this is a bratop. It already comes with pads so you don't have to worry finding the perfect you know what when you're using this. HAHA

Just to keep things interesting, I added this denim vest with striped detail as well. And since I'm already in black and white, I decided to add red, which is a striking color for me, to add color and make my look lively. 

I haven't woren this watch in years! This has got to be my favorite watch. It's my mom's but I'm the one who frequently uses it and I'm the one who keeps it in my room HAHA. This watch is really nice, you can change the color of the colored-circle around it (you get me? HAHAHAH!!). So it's easy to match any outfit with this watch. I'll wear this anytime soon so you could see ;)

I didn't have the chance to take outfit shots outside so I took it inside our house, lol. 

(huhu I'm getting fat. Look at my arms *cries* lol, it must be the eating I'm doing all summer!)

Anyway, yesterday was really tiring!! I can't believe my feet gave up on me, not to mention I'm wearing flats the whole day!! HAHA it must be all the walking around MOA and ATC. I helped mom shop, and we looked around forever21 and SM Dept. Store for about 2-3 hours. Woooo haha, but hey I got what I wanted yesterday! I got a brown flat booties! Yeeeeey ;)) Thank you mommy! I know you're reading this :D

Les Miserables

This wasn't supposed to be my outfit for this day, but my daddy told us to wear something red the night before and so, I thought of this outfit. Later did I know that mommy and my sister didn't really follow what daddy had said. Ugh. HAHAHA! But never mind, I like how it turned out anyway!

Well, as you can see in my title, we watched Les Miserables the day I wore this. And all I can say is that it is really worth watching!

I was surprised that I matched with the decorations in Resorts World Manila for the upcoming Chinese New Year. HAHA. (Odiba, ang aga nila! Lol)

I bought these babies the day before, and hey my eyes sparkled like diamonds when I saw this on the display in Res-Toe-Run. From P5990 to P970. WHAT A REALLY GREAT BUY because I have been obsessing with boots lately! Oh how I wish every store would have sale everyday. HAHAHAHA
