I'd like to start off by sending a late hats-off to all the hardworking, fabulous mommies out there-- belated Happy Mothers Day!:) These days, I'm getting a lot of suggestions (some scarily serious ones, haha) that I ought to be planning on motherhood soon since I'm of "ripe" age. I don't think it's written in the stars for me anytime soon (I hope, haha), and theres already a lot of style blogger moms out there who truly have their A-game on... let's leave it to them for now, haha.

I just wanted to share this quick OOTD of something I wore to head out with a friend last week. Of all the spring trends this year that I encountered, I think the mod trend for spring 2013 really appeals to the minimalist in me. Simple silhouettes, a lot of blacks and whites, and neutrals that are a bit above the ordinary--sounds like something I can totally get into.

It's amazing to note how I found this interesting grid-print shift dress at the Maze Hipzone in Ayala Center Cebu, of all places - the outlet is just chocked full of on-trend gems that I couldn't even find in any other store. I couldn't believe some of the items I got! Very recently, I got the chance to collaborate with the Maze Hipzone for a sort of "image overhaul" project. I'll let you in on the details and the results a bit later on, but I'm telling you, they've got a lot of fashion planned for the Cebuanos. Exciting times!

Summer is definitely here! It's undeniably the time to slough off the layers, plan and save up for our upcoming beach getaways (a must!), and work on toning those beach bodies. 

I'm ticking off that list beginning with this outfit post-- I haven't been that confident in showing off some skin lately because of the poundage I've gained, but I'm doing my best to "embrace" my new curves. I love this Boy London DIY cropped tank from Valerie of Punk-X-Pretty, who happens to be one of the most talented people I know on the interwebs. It's crazy how BL is getting back to being all the rage lately! IMO, spells more "summer" than two of my favorite items du jour - mirrored sunglasses (I collected silver, gold, and blue ones already!:)), and my Jeffrey Campbell Soiree sandals. What could get sexier than reflective surfaces and perspex?

I hope you guys have already started working on your summer goals! As for me, I'll be doing a bunch of film projects for the next few months beginning with a couple of film shoots in Davao. I will be there for NINE days beginning tomorrow! Davao fashion bloggers, where you at? Hope to meet some of you when I'm there!:)
