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...

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...

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...

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...

These days, fashion trends come and go in a heartbeat. A lot of us love to stock up on the current season's "it" items-- it's a VERY hard addiction to cut especially if you're a fan of online shopping, right? The sad reality, however,  is a lot of these items will be very dated in just a couple of months or so. I...

 Current hairstyle-- not my choice and not the best decision ever Wearing street bazaar find top and glasses from Davao | Zara skirt and clutch | Mango booties "But is heaviness truly deplorable and lightness splendid?" Reading "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera is making me deeply ponder (to my chagrin) a lot of things going on in my life and about...

Much like a lot of other girls my age, I am quite addicted to online shopping. I've spent quite a bit of money on my favorite sites and products, much to my boyfriend's chagrin. However, I always make sure that I'm spending my money on the best deals--more often than not, things I've discovered through my own lengthy time on the interwebs, as...

Jeffrey Campbell "Soiree" (available here ) I love shoes as much as the next girl. Okay, maybe just a weeetle bit more than the normal girl. But after so many years of incessant impulse purchases and hoarding of trendy styles which I know won't get much wear in my closet (I'm talking about you, heelless shoes), I felt like I needed a change of perspective. It...

When you've got a good life, it kind of makes more sense to just live your life, as opposed to poring over hours and hours telling the world about how "awesome" everything is. My boyfriend gives me that argument whenever I pick up my phone or camera to take pictures or check-in or document just about every nice thing we do together-- he thinks...

Leather tuxedo-cut blazer and cut-out cuff from Forever 21, tusk necklace from Parfois, deconstructed dress from Maldita, Figliarina shoes, Vanessa Bruno bag, OASAP shades ...is an awful joke, but my boyfriend loves to crack it to pester me and gets me to laugh all the same (despite my obvious annoyance).
