I do have an outfit post coming right up, but before that... Friends, do meet the little slice of tropical paradise known as Bantayan Island:

...where I will be spending the entire week in. Seriously, I am so psyched! Truth be told, I've always been in one with the beach-- I always seem to find my "true north" when I'm facing a wide horizon and the open sea. something about the beat of the waves and the white sand thats truly tranquil... and I can't believe I finally have a whole week to enjoy it, as I'm usually too swamped with stuff to be able to escape.
no need to worry, as it's not as "remote" as it looks-- there's of course a town proper, there's internet.. so expect to have real time updates on what everyone in the island is wearing. And by everyone, I do mean everyone-- Bantayan becomes one huge party hub this weekend, and I simply cannot wait to take my Style Spotting there!
those things said, I got a rather pleasant surprise from the always inspirational Tanya, the one behind Captivate Me (http://captivateme.wordpress.com/)-- these two "I Like You" awards. wow, definitely makes blogging more worthwhile when you know your efforts are genuinely appreciated by even a few.
In true blogger form, I now pass it on to some incredible new (and some not so new? hehe) bloggers i have just seen and met as of late, not just for being nice and accomodating (that's a given.. you guys have all been so sweet), but for having genuinely engaging posts and stories to share. you all actually do, so please keep it up.:)

XOXO
