This probably is one of the most vibrant posts I've had. It's a delight to spend the long weekend here at home despite the gazillion things waiting to be accomplished during the last few days of this school year. Home-cooked food and family are all I really need to bring back all the energy, motivation and inspiration that's been draining out of me these passed days.

I wore this outfit during our visit earlier at my grandma's hometown. I basically have no outfit issues with that lest of course we pass by the mall to buy her pasalubong. I wish I wore slippers instead but obviously, the Manhattan--errr, Roxas City Onceovers came a bit earlier than that realization. x_x

All the elements in this outfit revolved around my new JC Lita-inspired booties: mint, mint, mint, and mint. I didn't plan to be Coachella-ish but my DIY-necklace was the perfect pop of color that I needed. Hence, the discovery of it's multi-functionalism (might as well use it as a belt soon).

What do you think of this outfit?

Thanks again, Manang Paola for the stuff that you sent! Love, love this top!

Aaaand CONGRATULATIONS to the 2013 graduates.

Yipee, summer is just around the corner! XD

Much love,

Baseball

A comfortable look for Maxine's christening. Of course, there is nothing more comfortable than a cropped top worn over a bodycon dress. It's the easiest, least obvious way to wear something body-hugging without worrying about tummy flab. Don't you just think it's the perfect outfit combo for food-tripping? Sure enough, I really ate my heart out that day--with no inhibitions!

My take on the famous kitty-cat pose. Sorry. HAHA

I'm With The Band

I love roadtrips! I don't mean the usual Iloilo-Roxas route I take on free weekends. It's the kind where my Dad drives and Mom's on the front seat magically handling us unlimited food whenever we feel like eating. So I spent two days of the long weekend on the road like that and ah, I must have gained at least 3 kilos from nonstop pigging! I'm no skilled traveller/driver, but I have to say that the Sapian-Aklan-Antique Highway is the best yet here in Panay. I didn't feel motion-sick, at all. 

It wasn't so tacky pulling a travel outfit off with all the comfy, interesting pieces that GIFI Clothing sent over. This sleeveless top is one of my favorites. I couldn't have achieved an androgynous look without it (and the fedora, of course!). Hand me an electric guitar and I can count as a musician on-tour. Haha, I wish! What do you think?
