Plastic Fantastic!

• After sitting in my closet for months... I finally took my PVC's for a spin. I've been looking around for these babies since forever and thought I had no luck finding it in Manila. Just as I was about to give up, I found them entirely by accident, as hubby and I were falling in line at the Zara check-out counter, I spotted some cologne packs that were too cute to pass up on, and decided to go back to the accessories area to get a new stock item -- lo and behold these PVC leggings were staring back at me! They only had ONE pair left and it was in MY size!! So I guess it was a heavenly sign!
• I love dthe stares... again... wether they were envious, innocent, curious -- name them! People were probably thinking... isnt she feeling really WARM in this tropical weather?? heehee Well, I wore them on an overcast, coudy evening.
• I'm happy hubby's starting to get better and better at taking acessory-outfit shots... and to think back then I was so embarrassed to ask him to go behind the point-and-shoot camera, thinking that he would find my then-new-found-hobby shallow, or better yet... hillarious. But fastforward to this day, it's funny to see how I'm most comfortable with him behind the lense!

Meet My Black Stirrup Leggings

The weekend is beckoning!!!

Had dinner with hubby and felt that it was time to take my statement neckpiece for a walk around town... I got this necklace without hesitation upon seeing it on display... without even trying it on! I just knew I had to get it. It was so funny how my little toddler pointed to it and said "A... B...E...D...E...E..." thinking they were letters... (she knew how to count from 1-10 last month... when she was only 1 year and 3 months old -- can you see me beaming with pride?? heehee)

Also, I would also like to introduce my new buddy to you all.... meet my H&M wedge booties that were just way too cute to pass up on!!!

And my butterfly belt that costs less than $4.00...

Well of course my lab-gown-looking cardigan makes a comeback as well....

I hope you lovelies have a great weekend ahead!!!

I have mine packed with errands and dinners and what-nots... *hugs*

Hi Girlies!!!

Before anything else… I would like to wish you all a belated HAPPY HEARTS DAY!! I hope you all had fun as MUCH as I did….

Well, I’m so sorry I’ve been M.I.A. for such a LONG time… first, though I am not denying being such a workhorse, I’ve also been very busy with new projects which are not related to work…. Secondly, Blogger had gone berserk on me… first, I got locked out of my account and then next, posting pictures was just impossible to do - I would click and then end up with uploaded pictures which were entirely different from what I had intended to post…oh well.. I’m glad it’s finally OVER!

Well, going back to my recent Hong Kong trip… I definitely would want to unload all my outfit posts to make way for the current ones…. So… here goes!

HONG KONG DAY 2

• H&M is LOVE... went from Langham Mall back to Harbour City and Gateway Mall.
• Kowloon Deli is Love too... I'm a congee convert!
• Gucci, Gateway Mall has the friendliest SA's... they entertained our Dear Little Toddler and were all gushing over her diamond earrings...
• I loved my H&M wedge booties... but at one point in time, they proved to be party poopers after walking so much...

HONG KONG DAY 3




(proof that little toddler is loyal to Baby Zara)

• From Landmark Mall in Central back to the hotel and then back to Langham Place for more H&M and Sassa.
• Gucci is LOVE! Their Landmark branch has the Best SA's ever... I missed my LV SA ( he was on a vacation), and the lady who attended to us this time around was pure snotty... but Gucci HK has great SA's... (hi Viki and Victor!) -- Hubby and I noticed mostly Hongkese have names derived from Queen Victoria...
• These pictures were taken during an early morning stroll in a Chinese Temple

HONG KONG DAY 4

(While I loved H&M, hubby still remained loyal to Zara and Topman)

• "Kung Hei Fat Choi" day -- celebrated the Chinese New Year authentic-style
• We were freezing cold that day... so I had to wear one coat on top of another... sheeesh...
• Spent a lazy afternoon in Gateway, over Royce chocolates yet again and Chinese food...
• I couldnt believe what an angel Little Toddler has been!

• I'm back from a Five Day Vacation with my hubby and out toddler to a nearby wonderland called Hong Kong. We took the first flight out and got there before noon, checked-in and settled down a bit, grabbed a quick bite in McDonalds, then off we were to explore Harbour City and Gateway Malls... two of our favorite places in Tsim Sha Tsui.
• My little toddler had so much fun... she loved staring at the ceilings and would draw laughter from some people when she would suddenly call "Yaya.. MILK!!!" (Nanny...Milk!) whenever she feels like having a drink.
• I collected my Anniversary gift from hubby in Louis Vuitton... I was a bit sad because my favorite SA took his off that day, and we had no choice but to bear with an impatient SA -- but heck... I still went out of the store HAPPY!
• Called it a day at 9pm...what a granny!
  
  
  

Of Polaroids and Melanie Huynh

This weeks outfits have been more of jeans + tank + sweater or hoodie + flatties... and I wanted to spare you all from the horror of having to stare at them in pictures...

So, as a weekend treat... I am leaving you with snaps of one style maven, Melanie Huynh, Junior Editor of French Vogue...

photos from: The Sartorialist

I just adore how innocent she looks... her perfect bone structure and her glorious gams!


Looky here! She even looks gorgeous as a pregnant lady!



I also want to share my new-found addiction to a little Polaroid maker... because I've always been drawn to the rustic feel Polaroid pictures bring. I sometimes secretly regret the day when I ruined my brothers Polaroid camera (which I think has been more than a decade ago already!), so I could have kept it to this very day.... but thanks to free applications, DSLR shots can be instant Polaroids in one click!

My days will be packed.... I am getting ready for a coming week of work+play+travel+shopping all in one...

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!!

The Cold Spell

When most of us Filipino bloggers were complaining about not having 4 seasons to dress up to, in comes a really cold spell... mornings are usually misty, we get occassional showers and a cold breeze all day... and nights are just C-O-L-D.... well not COLD as in WINTER cold but COLD like Spring weather cold... you know what I mean.

I caught a flu bug during the weekend (baaah!) after managing to get out of the house each time we had the ooprtunity. I guess I caught the bug after galloping around an empty open-air parking lot with my hubby and sisters in law at 2am last Sunday (we watched The Curious Case of Benjamit Button) and were in high spirits even after the long movie.

I wore this one a few days back.... Just because I wanted a pop of PINK...

... and also wanted to take my pink heels for a stroll...

My friends said I looked like a rockstar.. more like Miley Cyrus (sorry but I'm not much of a fan)... but all the while I wished I'd worn my studded heels... or my booties to make it more rock and less girly!

Moving on... I'm having a very busy BUSY week... I promise to get back to all your lovely comments as soon as I can... I also want to thank everyone who takes the time out to post lovely words on my blog... may they be about my outfit, about my family or my cutie little miss TODDLER... those kind words REALLY make my DAY!

Teacher's Pet: Meet my Spectator Peeptoes!

I wanna be teacher's pet

I wanna be greatest the latest

The feelings that I can get

Teacher's bride (ooh)
I wanna be teacher's bride
I wanna be greatest the latest
And I will never be on your side
I have a lot of stuff that you can

Teach me and one more school At the start, I'm sure with a little
Homework, and I graduate to your
Heart...to your heart

Here's what I've been wearing on days when I just dont want to plan what to wear... in short, here's how my "deffault-outfit" looks.

I sometimes feel that the only thing missing would be wide-rimmed glasses and an apple... then I would be "Teacher's Pet". It also gives me an excuse to rummage through hubby's ties.... oh how fun!

...and to wear my high heeled spectator shoes!!!

Well... looks like I have nothing much to say.... so I'm wishing you all a very HAPPY HAPPY FAB-STYLISH WEEKEND!!!
