Steve Madden zipper satchel, thrifted top, Forever 21 skirt and cuff, Tonic Tatum cut-out booties, Cotton On metal plate belt Am I a bit too late for the holiday festivities with this red and gold ensemble? I decided that the little gathering we had for an aunt of mine, who has been quite the diabetes survivor and fighter, was the perfect time to...
Flared Mini Skirt in Houndstooth and Geometrical Print Jumper with Color Block Hem from Front Row Shop Front Row Shop is seriously killing it, right? I'm sure I'm not the only one actively stalking the incredibly fashion-forward online store from time to time. No wonder it's making rounds in top magazines as THE online site to shop from--the garments look exquisitely tailored, the quality is easily...
basic vneck tee from Gap Body, textured monochrome wrap skirt from Plains and Prints, thrifted Stella McCartney-inspired platforms, Forever 21 sunnies, Charles & Keith flared gusset bag If the hugely popular origami skort was everyone's bottom separate du jour for last year, this textured monochrome wrap skirt from Plains and Prints SS2014 collection happens to be my favorite as of yet. Simple yet...
Pretty much back, as in really back, from ze hiatus. Done with the film that we were doing-- I can't divulge anything just yet, but I haven't felt this fulfilled and grateful in ages. Post-processing was insane and that took a huge chunk of my time and soul, basically... it was the most exhausted I've been in a long time, but I'm very...

NAVA hat | knit top and side-slit skort, both thrifted | ankle strap flats from BU6 | Celine-inspired bag from Persunmall Hello everyone! Officially beginning 2014 with my first outfit post... taken very much last year during the holiday heyday. Yeah, it's still backlog-ridding time!:) Not much to say about this outfit, really. It's pretty simple, and I wore it buying additional gifts...
HNY, Everyone! :) Thank you for sticking around and checking out the blog from time to time. It's been quite a loooong haul so far, but its amazing to note that we're (meaning me and this blog) is still standing! 2013 marked quite a tumultuous rollercoaster ride for me-- a lot of dips mixed with some really good points in both my career...
On the course of staying true to my super frugal yet fashion-forward self, I've decided to introduce "SPLURGE vs STEAL" write-ups here on the blog. Some of my favorite segments in magazines are always "look for less" or "steal that style" spreads-- I've always loved and appreciated how some editors make the effort to have style be accessible somehow for those of us...
Back when I started my blog in mid-2009, good online fashion stores were few and far between, and money was very, very scarce. With very few options and with little to no money to burn, I resorted to two of my favorite things: doing fashion DIYS and thrifting. I did fun experiments such as a DIY knee-high boot spats, body harnesses, and more. Eventually I...
Chicnova '85' tee | NastyGal contrast leather biker jacket | Forever21 mesh pencil skirt | Charles and Keith flared gusset bag all photos by Thaad A Sabolboro Augh! Sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately, you guys. Juggling quite a number of pending reviews and other backlogged posts. Kapoy jud kaayo usahay bitaw kung magpatung-patung na imong kailangan suwaton :(( (translation: I'm...
I have to be perfectly honest with you. Aside from regular worries like paying for monthly bills, getting back into shape, and other usual suspects, I constantly think about ways of battling and reversing visible signs of skin aging. I always wake up with a slight fear of seeing new wrinkling and sagging when I check my face out in the mirror. Heaven...
Boy, keeping up sure is hard to do sometimes-- at least where blog posting is concerned. Take this outfit post for example-- something I wore to the Make Your Own Havaianas 2013 in Cebu event, sometime early August (which explains my very late "that Zara skort") post hehe. I know I have a serious backlog problem. Stress! I very much promise I'm working on...
Yep... this happened last night! Boring, done before by everyone I know, but I deserve some props for still being able to pull a "halloween couple costume" thing out of my ass the last minute (so please don't hate-- I knew I couldve done better lol)! We were seriously both hoping to go as Cosmo and Wanda of the Fairly Oddparents but couldn't...
Wanda Tortoiseshell Sunglasses, AFrame Optics (bought from The Chillage Store) Hooray for employee discounts! I have seriously been jonesing on these tortoise shell sunglasses from AFrame Optics for awhile, and it was a relief to have bought them from our store. I've been meaning to acquire a pair of tortoise shell sunnies for awhile-- The style is too classic and ageless to be...
"What's In My Bag" posts from other bloggers never fail to capture my interest. It's quite an intimate peek into a person's day-to-day life through their bag contents, don't you think? I've been thinking about making one for awhile, however I never really thought my bag or its contents were particularly interesting. However, I think it's a "rite of passage" for bloggers to...
Y'all know dresses aren't really my thing, and they don't really have a special affinity for me as well. I used to be able to decently pull off a killer bodycon or backless dress, but now, I'm staying away. I'm blaming my growing muffin top for that. But then I got a really pretty dress as a gift, which appealed to that "inner...
I've never really been the type of person who freely drops the words "forever" and "soulmate" in a statement, but yes. I'm pretty sure I've found that elusive, all-encompassing love, which I'm all too lucky to have enjoyed (and sometimes suffered) for the past three years. It's not always a walk in the park, just like all long-term relationships go, but it's definitely something that has proved worth...
