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 and checking out Ulli's Streets of Asia with the husband. Oh, and say hello to the gorgeous brand-spankin' new Ayala Center Cebu Roof Deck right behind me! Their new expansion is not done yet, but it's so exciting and promising. I'll be sharing my pictures from the media soft opening soon!

This hat which I bought from the NAVA booth during Bloggers United 6 is becoming a bit of a security blanket-like item for me-- I can't seem to part ways with it most days, and its my coverup of choice during bad hair days (which is like, all the time TBH haha).

Stay awesome, my loves! Thanks for visiting xx

a) "Tatum" boots by Tonic Bags and Shoes- I've been a long-time fan of Tonic, and these boots went above and beyond my expectations. The quality is impressive for the price I paid for, and it's certainly made for hours of walking. The only con is it's a bit hard to remove, but other than that I'm not complaining. You can buy your Tatums here. You won't regret it.

b) Celine Trapeze Inspired-Bag by Persunmall - Don't let the "inspired" tag trick you into thinking that this bag is incredibly inferior, because it's not. The quality surprised me a huge deal, but I'll reserve my thoughts on a separate review. Using it quite heavily these days. Thank you, Persunmall! 

c)   studded and spiked knuckle clutch - This beauty is my favorite acquisition from the recently-concluded Bloggers United 6 (that I have to share, too!). Obviously inspired by the popular Alexander McQueen knuckle clutch, but with a lot more danger.This has to be my go-to holiday accessory-- you know, when I have to wear something "shiny" and "festive". This is probably the best I can do, lol. Buy similar here and here.
