Hats Off

My photos scream girly because of this girl. Meet April! :D

And her friend, Myla, who added more yellowness to my already bright and yellow day!

My head was aching to wear this hat with salmon pink trousers and wedges last weekend but then I found out at the last minute that my top had a low, low neckline. I had no choice but to wear a bandeau underneath. The only kind in my closet was in yellow green. :| I knew then and there that it would ruin the daintiness of the entire outfit hence, I decided to just give yellow green some moral support with colorful accessories. Since I couldn't give the hat up, I used a bag with the same hue and switched to black flats to minimize the chaos.

TIP: When confused with mixing and matching colors, just make sure that at least two pieces in your outfit have the same hue. Mostly, similar-colored shoes&bag or shoes&top make safe combinations - the rest of the pieces you can just play along with. :)

How do you guys plan to spend the long weekend?

In contrast to my bright outfit, my week was a rather gloomy one. With all the stress and tears that it caused me, there's no better remedy than some salon-pampering and quality family time. :)

I'm also posting a blog giveaway next, yayyy! Watch out for it, yah?

Happy long weekend, everyone!

Much love,

It feels so good to be able to spend the weekend in my hometown! I missed eating homefood and sleeping in my room with my baby brother for two painful months! Although we're expecting 3 exams and SGDs this week, not having a Monday exam is such a blessing. A lot took place this past week which include me getting sick to the point of missing my exams and classes. :( I almost got rushed to the hospital due to fever and diarrhea. Thank God, I recovered quickly.

I've always been style savvy. You may have noticed that I don't give much emphasis on the brands I wear. That's because most of my clothes are 'brandless'. I buy stuff from the most random stores and if ever I'd drool over online boutique offers, I make sure that the items are the cheapest(in terms of price) ones available - not compromising the quality of course.

One online shop that has consistently gained my attention (and patronage!) is Bubbles. Bubbles started selling accessories and is currently into establishing its own ready-to-wear clothing line. New items and designs are uploaded almost every week and they get sold out in just a span of hours. You really have to be very alert to purchase the items of your choice! Aside from unique and good-quality pieces, what I like most about  Bubbles is that it's also based in Iloilo. I get spared from the hassles of bank deposits and shipping. :D Everything's affordable and very wearable, swear!

I hope everyone's safe and enjoying the drizzly weather as much as I do.

Much love,
