Hope you ladies, gents and all my loves in between had an awesome Valentines day. I know I had a great one spending lunch with my significant other and dinner with my mom and sister. I didn't really do Valentines in the past (being a super cynic and all), but this year, it kinda felt good not just having one but three dates in one night.:)

Just wanted to share this quick outfit post before I turn in for the night. After much mulling, I recently acquired this Romwe spiked cap for myself. And while it seems like its a bit too popular among the blogging circles, I thought this would be perfect for my horrendously bad hair days (which would be everyday haha). Caveat emptor though: prepare for a thorough head workout as this thing weighs a ton!

I wore this outfit during the first day of Bloggers United 4... snapped up a few shots in front of the incredibly picturesque Picasso Boutique Residences before heading to the WTC. More on that later.

Anyway, a special shoutout to the online shop Vintage Attic Batangas for sending me some awesome stuff through the mail! Make sure to check them for A-grade and authentic vintage designer bags and accessories :)

Whatever you do to your body, it will make you pay it back with a vengeance. After advocating the "skinny bitch" lifestyle for the longest time --okay, that may be a tad bit harsh -- I just realized that I've gained quite a bit of weight. As much as I love my man, we honestly do need to start watching what we eat. I think that's what it feels like for a lot of long-term couples, because really, dating and dining comprises a whole lot of time in any relationship. You'll go out, and you'll eat. You'll want to try the latest "it" restaurants, hoard amazing pastas and philly cheese steaks, and order desserts for two. Being single for the longest time in the past, I saw the change in my eating attitudes and I honestly thought I could get away with it. Many flabs and with thunder thighs galore later,  I often ask myself, "what the heck happened?".

Since summer is once again around the corner, I find myself reminiscing, looking at pictures of my old , fitter self and desperately hoping I could bring some of the sexy back. I realized that I haven't blogged about this look yet. I also realized that I haven't tried hard yet enough. All I do is make these vague promises to myself, and plop my ass back down again and do nothing about it. I understand now that I need to pay the price for "letting myself go" with a lot of actual hard work and patience. I think I'm ready.

Jeffrey Campbell "Soiree" (available here )

I love shoes as much as the next girl. Okay, maybe just a weeetle bit more than the normal girl. But after so many years of incessant impulse purchases and hoarding of trendy styles which I know won't get much wear in my closet (I'm talking about you, heelless shoes), I felt like I needed a change of perspective. It wasn't easy, but I eventually decided to bid adieu to many, many pairs of great shoes (either by selling them off or giving them to loved ones). I've made a promise to really save up for things that may  be worth way more than the average, but are sure to stand seasons.

It's been awhile since I really, really fell in love with a shoe design, but my heart did leaps and cartwheels when I saw the Jeffrey Campbell "Soiree" for the first time. Burdened by its somewhat steep price, I was lucky enough to have my good friend and fellow blogger Sweet bring this home for me from Bangkok, a tad bit discounted and all.:)

As per my bf, "it looks like you're walking on air." He can't have described it better! I can't wait to take outfits with these:)
