Top from LAX Apparel | Shorts from Forever 21

You can never go wrong with off-shoulder tops and pastel colors. I got to snag this one-of-a-kind piece; you don't get to see this print around which makes it all the more special. Perfect for a day turn night out piece.

Birthday's coming up, still wondering what I'd be doing for the big 21?

I feel like a cross between a beach bum and a Moroccan princess with this getup.

Tartans and plaids were the main print and trend at Fall 2013 and at Topshop- for which I bought this gorgeous pants. Question: Is this appropriate enough for a Sunday mass? Hahaha. Cause I wore this to mass, and maybe you guys would disagree or not, I took the chance. These plaid/tartan pants remind of a pair of pajamas my mother owns and though, these pants are skin-tight, they feel comfortable. I'm leaning toward the grungy-androgynous kind of style in this outfit, that I hope I did.

What came in the mail, as well, is this silver hologram clutch ~ which are on trend right now, too ~ so I took this clutch for a spin, even if it was for Church.

The spaghetti strap of this basic tank was too loose for me not too notice so I knotted it and made it fit~ it turned it pretty...swell, I think. Accessories fell short, only wearing pearl earrings since I haven't bought any new accessories yet. But still looks good though, despite minimalist jewelries.

School is pretty much over, one week left before summer. I pretty much just want to get a good night's sleep and get the daily dose of an 8-hour sleep. This would also mean summer photos, Manila trips and outfit shots. Yipee!!!

I actually got the courage to show a bit of midriff and back. I'm not much of skin-baring style kind of person; but the top was too cute not to buy. So I thought, why not? I took a risk- in a way.

I thought of going ethnic/tribal with this ensemble because the yellow midriff top looked good "ethnic enough" to pair with my "tribal paisley" printed skated skirt. I added my favorite turquoise necklace- which always reminds me of Pocahontas and her turquoise necklace in the movie- to add more color to the outfit because I love adding colors onto colors. So you could say this outfit was inspired a little bit of Pocahontas.

Now the back~ the back was the statement of this whole outfit. I decided to put my hair in a ponytail to emphasize the ribbon detail at the back so everyone can witness it. Haha! Adding more to skin-baring phenomena, I showed a little bit of midriff- sans abs line- and kept the shoes into a minimalistic black open-toed sandals.

That awkward moment of crossing your legs just to get a book, not knowing you aren't supposed to take photos in the bookstore. Well evidently, I was one of the unfortunate ones; I only got to take one outfit shot. But it's a good outfit shot, I must say. Kudos, to my photographer! ;)

Quick post, to spare you some time to read my blog. Lol!

I went all vintage/modern kind of ensemble just to wear my brand new flats. So a nude Peter Pan-collared blouse tucked under a black highwaisted shorts should have done the trick.

The break that I desperately need is here. Hello, sembreak!

Now I get to focus on my blog and take more outfit shots. Here's my long overdue outfit shot way back in September on my parents' anniversary sans dad.

Lace Crop Top from Fash Ion | Sheer Black Midi Skirt from Forever 21 | Turquoise Ring from WAGW

Their anniversary fell on a Sunday so Church was the first agenda to do. I picked out a classic colorblocking outfit of a white laced crop top and sheer black skirt to complement the top. I chose my favorite WAGW turquoise ring to add a pop of color to my outfit and finish it off with ribbon flats. I also tried to test out my makeup skills by putting on myself some Egyptian-inspired eyeliner makeup. What do you think? Needs more practice?

I'll be posting soon where my family and I ate for the anniversary.

Colorfest outfit, I dare say. Don't you agree?

So much for keeping my new pair of Sperry Topsiders spotless and not blest. *sigh You probably can't see the smudges of dirt around them but trust they're there, unfortunately. But on the brighter side, I FINALLY got myself a pair of Sperry(s)(?) and in one of my favorite color, as well. Guess what color this is?

My family and I took my grandmother for her 87th birthday at this French restaurant in Cebu, La Maison Rose (The Pinkhouse Restaurant). My grandmother isn't a big fan of foreign dishes but I told her about this mantra that people has now been using, YOLO (You Only Live Once). Haha! What choice could she make, I've called in for reservations already. So we dove into the moment of being French for a day. Bon appetit, I must say.

As for my outfit, I went with the quirky/dainty kind of look to match with the theme of French cuisine. I opted for my chiffon Peter Pan-collared blouse and red layered shorts to show off my sweet and girly side. Finishing it off with some silver flats so as not to outshine the beloved celebrant's special day and give my whole look a sparkle and shine.

It's never a French cuisine experience without having the chance to eat their delicacy, their escargot aka snails; add in some profiteroles and caviar for starters as well. For the entree, my mother and I ordered the fish dish (practicing the lifestyle of being pescatarian and all!) which unfortunately couldn't remember. My sister tried the Truffle Coquilette Pasta, which was divinely tasteful, thank goodness; and as for the celebrant, she got the chicken dish, which I also forgot, unfortunately (sacre bleu!).
