can i live in these till im 80?

If shoes can talk, they would have fascinating, vibrant conversations about where they've been and what kind of shenanigans their owners have been up to. I'm glad my shoes are totally inanimate objects because I'm sure it would have really crazy [incriminating and embarassing] stories to share. Haha.

Me and a bunch of my shoe-obsessed friends, a.k.a. some of Cebu's fashion bloggers, came together over the weekend to have another "meet-up" round. I find it rather awkward to call it as that these days as opposed to just "hanging out", because some of us have actually established firm friendships beyond the interwebs. It was definitely weird to be saying "nice to meet you!" to Sweet of Pens and Lens because even though we've just actually met, we've been following each other since 2009 and she feels like an old friend. Amazing how things work out like that.

I finally got to wear Gold Dot's Cassandra platforms in rust just for this occasion. Omgsh..I can't put in words completely just how deeply in love I am with this particular design. The comfort I felt was just incomparable for a shoe with such staggering height. It's just so light, you barely feel the elevation,and it felt effortless to wear it. Don't dare hesitate if you've been wanting to get this for yourself.

Vanessa East, Sweet, Marco and Rabsin, Liezyl and Angeli... thanks for making my night:)

Cebu fashion bloggers unite.:) Also with Justinne Go of Babe for Food (beside me)

After much, much inspiration from my meeting with some of Manila best fashion bloggers, and upon hearing word that Toni of Perfumed Red Shoes was heading out west to California, I thought it was high time to call on Cebu's online style scribes to convene for a one-night waker-upper in the city. And so after a lot of planning and exchanging in Facebook and months of stalking each other's style blogs, majority of Cebu's fashion bloggers finally got to hang out over at Veranda in Parkmall. After many scrumptious dishes and bottles of liqueur(well in my case at least lol),I would say we finally have a better insight of each other outside of the interwebs--and like I always say, everyone is as nice as they are stylish. Looking forward to the next round!

And I took these Bertha wedges from Gold Dot out on a spin. Don't let the intricate make and wedge height deceive you--these shoes are extremely comfy and the quality is just incredible. No wonder it's such a smash hit among bloggers.:)

Muchas gracias to Gold Dot Cebu for these beautiful feet babies.

Photos taken from Phil's 550D and my 400D.

Special thanks to Mai Parco and the rest of the Veranda for the accomodations.

200th POST!

OMGOSH its my 200th post. I can't believe I've gotten this far!

This actually took me longer to write 'cuz I wanted to put so many things in as my 200th post but I couldn't really put my finger on what I wanted.. so instead I'll be sharing some overdue pictures for now.

More thoughts on my 200th post later, and yes, I'm working out a bunch of giveaways, but for now, allow me to be overwhelmed! Hehe. Thanks for the support xx

My absolute favorite shot ATM. The timing was sweet. Thanks to Yapi and her beau, Harry!

As promised, here's more BTS, outtakes and the actual shots from our Cebu fashion bloggers feature for Sunstar Daily. Shot right in the heartland that is Carbon Market. Had a blast! Wish I had time to check out the goods, though...

Thanks again to the other fashion bloggers who made this experience really awesome... I'm looking forward to more hangouts with you guys.

Thanks again to Armand Alforque, Mildred Zapanta and Marlon Capuyan for the photos :)
