I’m so sorry for taking a holiday hiatus… I haven’t had the time to pose for outfit entries primarily because the holiday came and left in such haste… it was impossible to catch up on other stuff in the middle of all the gatherings, last-minute-shopping, preparations, parties left and right… plus little baby (now more of a toddler) has gotten way too active for a baby who just hit 1 (she is still adapting to her new nanny and has gotten into a cling-y-to-mom-or-dad phase).
BUT I’m back!!! And am hoping that you all lovelies had a great holiday as well!!!
I hope you all were able to give, receive (yey), share and spend time with friends, family and loved ones during Christmas... below is a picture of me (in my house clothes because the fan was blowing my dress up -- I didn't plan to do a Marlyn Monroe on Christmas... and just changed back when we left to our next stop), hubby and baby with some presents... and nannies and helpers with some of their loot...
I still have a LOT of pictures to sort through... And much as I would want to share them all with you... I must not forget that this is a fashion/style blog... And so, for the outfit post, here's what I wore to dinner last night:
Hubby and I went to a fine dining place called Cuisine, a part of the Embassy super club...they serve really good food! Our reservations were at 8pm... but I was still getting dressed at 7... so that explains why I had no time to change to a matching bag...
It's funny how it ended up clashing patterns with those diamond shapes on my tights... well... it was a good thing no one noticed (I think)... everyone was busy staring at my tights to notice the checkered bag!
I wore my F21 shoes with wooden heels... and almost stumbled into a little crater on the grass just before this picture.... I wanted a Holiday-Picture with the giant tree and hubby was way to mortified to take my picture with the world watching... so as I was rushing to the tree in hopes that he would NOT change his mind - after agreeing to take a few shots on our way back to the car.... my foot slipped into the hole and I almost toppled over... it was so funny I couldnt keep a straight face anymore!!
Looking back at 2008, it was a very eventfull year for me... I traveled a lot, learned a lot, laughed a whole lot, cried a bit, shopped a lot, got furious a bit, lost a bit and gained a whole lot (pounds, wisdom, friends, zits, purses, shoes...heehee name it!).
When each year comes to an end and I look back to the year that was, I keep in mind that depsite all the shortcomings that may have come my way, the mistakes and the wrong turns... but I look forward as a new year beckons and it gives much hope for a brighter one.
Tank: Topshop
Outer Top: Zara
Paris Necklace: F21
I remember a book I once read back when I was 14: The Precious Present by Spencer Johnson encourages us to live for today. The past gives us wisdom as we learn from our mistakes and triumphs... the future gives us hope... but we should live each day as it comes... and live it to the fullest... as if it were our last.
Cheers to a FASHIONABLE NEW YEAR everyone!!!

Welcome back sweetie, I was wondering what had happened to you. Your family is beautiful, you daughter just precious, but your body is crazy - I cant believe you carried a baby for 9 months.. you look amazing. Im in Manila now, studying at FIP in Ortigas, I'll be here till the end of february so maybe we can arrange a meet up sometime. My schedule is a little crazy cause I live by UST, which is like suuuper far, but lets plan something. Have an amazing weekend!
