Fairview Terraces Style Origin + Shopping Mall Tour

     Hi dearies! How's your Sunday? Let me share with you another fabulous event that I 've witnessed last June 28, 2014. I was very privilege to be invited by Niche and Fairview Terraces marketing team to the Style Origin Men's Week Fashion Show. But before the show, the marketing team toured us inside their one of a kind shopping mall. Yes it's one of a kind because of its architectural structure- the ambiance, the  lighting and the design of the mall itself is unique. I'm lucky that I live few minutes away from Fairview Terraces that's why I can go and drop by at the mall anytime of the day! Are you excited to see the stores we've visited?

OOTD: Pahiyas Festival

     Here's a super late OOTD post. I was emptying my recycle bin yesterday and saw these outfit photos from our summer vacation at Lucban, Quezon. We stayed there for three days and luckily was able to celebrate one of the grandest festival in our country- The Pahiyas Festival. Have you seen colorful leaf shape decorations on television ads or from random things? Those leaf shape designs are called Kiping. It's made of malagkit/sticky rice and shaped into leaves symbolizing bountiful harvest. Pahiyas Festival is celebrated every 14th of May in honor of St. Isidore for giving farmers rich and bounty harvest throughout the year. 

     Since it's summer, I opted to wear something very light and comfortable from head to toe! And because the highlight of the celebration was to roam around the town to see houses decorated with colorful and awesome kipings, I decided to wear my super comfy sandals.

OOTD: Black and Blue Urban Chic

     Hello! Belated Happy Valentine's Day :) I hope all of you had a blast yesterday. Before I start laying out the details of my outfit, I just wanna thank ze hubby for making hearts day extra special. 

     If you follow me on Instagram, I'm sure you've already seen this ensembles. This is what I wore during the L'Oreal Professionnel Steampod Launch. The attire should be black and blue urban chic and these colors perfectly matches the Steampod. I'll just make this intro short, my mind is floating got only 4 hours of sleep :( Please leave a comment if you have questions. Thank you for understanding :D Special thanks to Aya of Codename Aya for these lovely photos!

OOTD: Puss in Boots

     Hellos! This is my first outfit post of the year :) Thank you very much to Kai of Brew of the Day for taking my outfit shots. Remember that I'm very shy to take outfit shot in public? I'm 10x times more shy here when we did my outfit shot because it was taken inside the Landmark Trinoma but it's okay since almost all we're rushing home so there's only a couple of shoppers walking and they didn't even bother to look on what we're doing =P

    I wore this outfit 3 weeks ago when I met-up and had dinner with blogger friends. I look haggard and tired in this photo, right? And look at my tummy, it's bloated like the cat in Puss in Boots hence the title of this OOTD. Blame it on Christmas and New Year's celebration and some post holiday gatherings. There's also 3 birthdays in our family after new year including my birthday! Insert the holiday weight gain here. Whew! 

OOTD: Denim and Chiffon

     I'm already getting the hang of taking outfit shot in public :D I found a new photographer in the presence of my younger brother ;P But this just came coincidentally since all the outfit shots he took was taken during his free time. If I'm saying that backlogs are piling up before (usually this goes with haul, product review and event posts) I think my backlogs are piling up again and this time for my outfit of the day. I'm a very shy and soft spoken person that's why I really feel uncomfortable taking pictures in public alone. I always want to take pictures in group or with my son and ze hubby. But now I can say that I'm slowly getting used to take my outfit shots alone anywhere :D

     Here's what I wore when I attended Kanebo's Radiant Beauty Makeup Workshop at Rustan's Makati last week. I preferred the morning sesh around 10 a.m. so that I can go home early and go straight to the dialysis center to look after my father. I had a great time during the workshop that I'll muse on my next post. For this outfit, I just decided to wear something that I think will look good on me but I'm not sure if they really "match". 

OOTD: Taken 2

     I was one of the lucky winner to Nuffnang PH's Preserving Mankind with Kojie.san Men blog contest. I won two tickets to the especial screening of Taken 2 last October 5, 2012 that was held at Shangrila Cineplex 1. Days before the said event, I was very clueless what to wear since I'm very lazy that week to dress up. I decided to wear something laid back with my old pair of jeans and a comfy shirt then just added a blazer so that my outfit will somehow look chic. 

OOTD: Flowers

     Looking for a dress to wear in an important event or gathering gives me stress. I always look inside my closet two days before the said date and do the mix match thing-y but I can't decide which is which. I'm not good in matching colors and sometimes I lack the courage to wear the dress or the outfit that suits my personality. I always ask advice from my mom, my sibs and ze hubby. 

     When I received a VIP invitation for the Lolita grand launch, the first thing that came into my mind was the outfit. The e-vite's theme was very sweet and girly. I asked blogger friends if I need to wear something formal. When they said no, just wear something where you'll stand out means I can wear anything, a dress or a cute top and skirt will do. So I decided to wear something colorful and girly. I already made an outfit post wearing this dress here and just added a floral cover up that somehow made this outfit Japanese inspired. Tulip dress and Floral kimono cover-up combined and tada~ flowers! 

OOTD: Eat-All-You-Can

     Hi ladies! I'm back with another attempt to do an outfit of the day post. I'm a bit nervous and somehow shy when taking pictures in public alone that's why until now I only got 3 OOTD posts and the first two was with my son: First Attempt and Kenzo's Me Time. My only solo OOTD post was taken last Mother's Day when we celebrated it at my lola's house. I had so many attempts to do an outfit post but I got so many reasons too why I failed. Hahaha! It's either I forgot the camera, the batteries were drained, I'm not in the mood or my outfit was not suitable for an oufit post lol :D 

     So yesterday was the day! My husband's uncle celebrated his birthday at Kamayan West ave. and it's a perfect timing to take pictures because we have two cameras, no excuse for low battery and such. I wore something loose yesterday since it's an eat-all-you-can buffet, I'm expecting my tummy to explode! Kidding aside, I mean I'm not a big eater and this kind of buffet will make my tummy look big since I have all the guilty pleasures eaten yesterday. Excuse my hair, need to go to salon to have some serious treatment, I think =P

Love Package + Hate Situation

     Hello lovelies, how are you? Don't forget to join my 100th Follower Giveaway. I will just make a quick post. I'm still experiencing this freaky skin allergy/insect bites thing-y for days now. I don't know what to do! I've taken lots of anti-histamine and applied anti-itch creams and ointment but none seems to work. The last option I think I need to do before things get worse is consult a doctor. This thing is really freaking me out. It's like my worst nightmare. I can't sleep and my mind seems empty. My concentration level is down and I get irritated most of the time. I hope this thing will just go away without a mark. I'm afraid that I scratched some part of my body unconsciously and this will lead to scarring. Gaaah! But before ending this post, I will just share what I received last week. I won from another giveaway and this time it's from a fashion blog. I soooo lurve these stuffs and thinking of doing another outfit post soon. 

DROWNING EQUILIBRIUMS: ROMWE GIVEAWAY

Thank you Ms. Aisa and Romwe for this wonderful giveaway! Will post photos soon :D

     My sister also gave me a tub of Soft White Body Scrub in Bengkoang. She wanted me to try it first. Will make a review after a week. I can't use this right now because of this allergies/insect bites spreading all over my body.

      I will end my post here guys. I hope you will visit my blog often, read my reviews and join my giveaway. 

     Good Times!~

OOTD: Mom's Day Simple Celebration

     Belated Happy Mother's Day to all! I'm so busy lately hence another backlog on things to review. Please bear with me dearies, I'll promise to keep you updated after this week because I'm really busy. Family matter + some relaxing and bonding time with the hubby is scheduled this week so I'll just leave you with this post of what I wore last Mother's day. 

     We just made the celebration simple by going to my parents house and have dinner with them. After that we dropped by at my cousins house to welcome her because she just arrived from Doha, Qatar and will be having a short vacation here. What I wear here is the version of my love for neon accessories ever since I started collecting them. I heard that Neon is "in" so I looked inside my closet and found old accessories like this bracelet and a simple top that matches today's trend.

OOTD: Kenzo's "ME" Time :)

     Hi dearies! It's holiday today, I'm sure some of you are still sleeping. I hope you don't mind if I'll share another photo of me with my son. This time I'm already facing the camera. Kenzo got a new bag but it's too big for him to carry on his shoulders. The hubby was teasing him that he's a school boy that's why he's eager enough to carry the bag while posing. This photo was taken after eating dinner at SM Fairview. The hubby took this photo using his cell phone camera. 

top: sleeveless racer back- greenhills

shorts: from my old black jeans- DIY

shoes: tom's inspired red flowered flats- thifted

Enjoy your holiday! Good Times!~

     

An Attempt to do an OOTD post

     Last Saturday, we went to my mother's hometown at Lucban, Quezon to attend my cousin's wedding. I don't know what to wear. I rarely attend to special occasions that's why my wardrobe consists of only few dresses and formal wear. The hubby told me to wear something comfy and stylish but I don't know if I can sport this kind of dress. So I looked inside my closet and this is what I found:
