Before anything, sorry for the loooong absence yet again. I'm trying really hard to keep up with a regular blogging schedule-- and while things were looking great schedule-wise, I've just had a pretty sucky week and a half! Had to process so much government document processing (renewing my passport, getting the right certificates, etc etc) to prepare for an important travel visa, and let me tell you... it's all an absolute pain in the ass. The red tape we have to go through to get sh*t done... okay, I don't even wanna go there (don't want to incite gov't red flags haha) but if you've tried it, you know what I'm talking about. I'm just glad the worst is all over, and now I can plop my butt down to do some hardcore blogging. haha! I try at least.

Just wanted to share my 2nd look for the Styling Challenge I'm doing in collaboration with Topshop Philippines (1st look last seen here). One reason why I picked this item over other pieces was its apparent versatility, as seen here worn as a top. The awesome thing was everyone complimented me on the "top" without even noticing that it's actually a pretty long dress. Sweeeet! Many, many styling ideas come to mind now.

Wore this outfit to the Elizabeth Arden and Rustans Prevage launch, which I will be blogging about separately. For the meantime, I'm seriously thinking of doing a hair retrospective -- I've changed my hair waay too many times the past couple of years that I've lost count. ha!

Stay awesome everyone!xx
