Photobooth: Nocturnal

I think I was born to live at night and sleep by the day. I am seriously hating this bad sleeping habit that I've developed over the past stressful days, of mine.

Thanks to the typhoon, I'm also stuck with a sore back, and bad flu.
Back to bed now, just wanted to share my ever orange nails in time for Halloween!

 

Good Morn-ight Lovelies!

Chocolate Wasted

Lately, I found myself leaning towards rich chocolate shades of brown. Yes. Brown is my new black as of the moment.

Last Saturday was chocolatey clothes heaven for me. I bought old and new clothes that really glued a smile on my face.

First, I scored a boho mini dress with rich chocolate brown prints in my thrifting escape that I will be sharing in one of these days.

And since mum insisted that we go check out the MEGA sale in SM Megamall, boyf and I gave in. Who would turn down a shopping spree?

So off to Forever21 we went only to witness ---

a riot in the making with last minute shoppers going for a spin. My imagination went to play just as La Lohan did back in her chic flick movie, Mean Girls, where people started acting like wild animals rawring at one another. Lol.

As expected, I didn’t score any of their marked down items. But the 10% off the price offered to SMAC holders was a great deal already.

My first 30 minutes there was spent walking around, following my mum, and looking at other people scavenging for great deals. I was caught in a haze that mum had to tell me: “Ano ba, are you going to follow me around lang? Bahala ka, this might be the last time I’ll offer you a shopping treat.” Then giggles. Seriously threatened, I went on by myself, and allowed her to look around on her own.

I picked up my own mesh bag, thinking that I will be bagging a lot of things. First round was spent on.. ehm. Looking for boyf. Lol. Seriously, looking for the jacket that boyf wanted. But it wasn’t there already. Or I maybe the clothes rack were all messed up that I missed it. Then I saw this black button down cardigan with patches on the elbow part. It wasn’t on sale, but I gave in. It was perfect for boyf. J Then I saw a knit cropped sweater, and bagged it in. Still, not from the sale rack. I also bagged a white boat-neck mini dress gartered on the waist.

I was feeling tired already. It was hard to look for an item because it was all over the place. It wasn’t the usual printed here, plain there. And just when all hopes seemingly left my shopping spirit, the divine pair of clogs I’ve been looking for was right there before my eyes! And it there were sizes to choose from. Jump Wiggle Wiggle! Yay!

Was pointing to the Biggest bag winner - Mum. While I was left with 2 bags. She went home smiling with 5 bags. Ugh!

Anyway, here’s my casual take on this lovely pair.

Was supposed to pair it with my boho dress, but the weather wasn’t good. Still is not, up to now.

Hope you like it. J

Later Lovelies.

Fall for Orange

I got tired of my good old wall background, and I wanted something different. Since we were allowed to leave work early, boyf and I decided to take snapshots in the fire exit. I thought the pipes there are colorful - why not!

Okay, I said fall for orange, but please no tripping while going down the stairs. I almost tripped in this photo. Clumsy me. I know. So I tried to look for something safe-err, and posed beside the building's piping still in the fire exit. It's red,  and complements my outfit, so why not. Chos

Boyf and I were laughing our ass off walking to the parking lot coz of our clumsy and mis-"hops" :) Still he had the energy to take these "paparazzi"-ish photos. Lol

He's such a big fan, I know. Hahaha Oh, well!
Have a great night lovelies! :)

Mum's Closet: Acid Wash Top

As an only child - as in the only daughter, I grew up most of the time playing dress up with my nang(god mother) or nanny. I'd go and rummage my mum's closet, put it on, grab her heels and glide in it.  But don't get me wrong, I love playing and socializing with other kids too. It just happens that I'm on my own most of the time my parents were away, doing their stuff. Even if dad would be around, of course he's a guy whom i think would be the last person to have interest in dress up and barbies at that time. (but i appreciate each time he gives flattering notes on what I'm wearing nowadays. He's got good taste too. When I can't decide over an item, he's the one I consult or if not it'd be good old boyf substituting.)

 Now that I'm all grown up, I still beg and borrow things from my mum. She's, above all, my fashion inspiration. I'll feature her old photos and recent ones here in my blog soon!

 I didn't feel like wearing any of my clothes, and was too lazy to swim in my bloated closet just to look for something to wear. So I helped myself to mum's spacey and neatly laid out closet and got hold of this acid wash-ish button top. I've been spotting this lovelies on mum couple of times now. Last time I saw her donned this she was wearing it with white cropped jeans and nude wedge. Ugh. Gorgeous. So when I saw it hanging there - i just couldn't resist it.

 Mum's all about matching her shoes and bag. That's what got me wearing my Parisian shoes with my Lulu denim bag.

By now, I think you're asking how many parisians do I own? Well, it's growing. It's a cheap escape to trendy shoes. I'm frugal like that. I have this notion that when going for trend - get the cheap ones and get it in all colors and styles the budget permits (quantity). But for classics and basics, go for the one that endures the test of time (quality).

'til the next post lovelies! :)

London, I Miss You!

It's been really long since the last time I flew out of the country. Bummer. And I'm dying to.
The country that I visited the most is England. And I seriously miss the environment and the culture there. I miss sight-seeing, wandering around, eating in different pubs, drinking, tasting every single thing that's there to experience. Of course, who wouldn't miss the shopping part, right?!

All the drama pretty much explains why I'm wearing a London graphic shirt right now (*sorry if you can't really see the flag detail, but it really is England's flag peaking out from the zip print). No, I didn't get it from England, I actually got it locally - where else, but greenhills tiangge. :P I couldn't find my I <3 London shirt, so this will be fine for now. :)

It should've been more punk-rocker-ish if I wore more of my black cuffs - but I didn't have time to look around my room for it. Next time, I should! But hey, I'm wearing the spikey-est accessory which can substitute for all the studded cuffs and such -- my parisian black MJ's!!! :)

Anyway, right now, I'm in the middle of deciding whether I should go for an associate degree in the States - that'll give me the luxury of time to move around all it's state. It's a pricey decision to make, but it'd be all worth the risk. :)

How bout you, which country you've visited before do you miss the most? And where do you plan to go next?

Lotsoflove,
