Where The Palm Trees Grow

Hello everyone!

It's our favorite time of the year again! We won't really mind getting tan because sun-kissed skin and beach trips are going to be a hit this season of vacation. You are extremely lucky, my loves, to still experience summer break because the least I can do now is to just wear it on my dress. Today is the first day of the season of clinical clerkship--my last year in med school, how time flew! I could only hope that the 365 days will fly by just as fast. 

Here's an easy-breezy look to handle a typical, scorching summer day. 

This shirt dress from Aupie is perfect for lazy days when you don't want to spend much time ransacking your closet for comfy summer combinations. It's lightweight and not so demanding in terms of accessories because the canvas print pretty much stands on its own. If only I could silently disappear during duty hours and enter the relaxing world of colorful birds and palm trees like the one on this dress...

What do you think of this outfit? 

Show some love and hype this on Lookbook.nu and Chictopia. :)

I Heart You

Living up to my blogger bio, it's always a colorful summer in my world indeed (even if at least 2 typhoons have already passed the country recently). I'm certainly not a t-shirt person but it's very difficult not to "heartily" welcome this top from Ahai Shopping in my closet. It's the concrete interpretation of  "hearts all over the world" and I feel so inspired and jolly and so much loved just by being in it. 

 The bipolar weather had a good side after all, as well.

I needn't pretend that it's summer under gloomy skies because the sun shone so brightly during my weekend mornings in Roxas City despite the frequent afternoon showers. So I took out my beach hat from Sammydress that btw, made me feel like some top Lookbooker and these round, vintage sunnies from Chemjoy.com. I've long been looking for the perfect Lennon sunglasses and I'm so happy to have finally found the perfect pair. I hope you won't mind me wearing these sunnies a little more often on my future posts?

And as promised, here's another patternistic bottom from OhKayGanda Boutique! 

I don't think I'll ever outgrow the stripes trend. It's just too funky and versatile to give up. 

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

Happy Camper

I love random adventures at random hours!

So here's my attempt on being Dora the Explorer for a day during my visit at one of Ayala Land's newest

real estate developments in Iloilo City just more than a week ago.

It was a two-hour roadtrip under the scorching summer sun from my hometown, hence the breezy top and the gym shorts. I knowww, I should have worn something sleeveless instead. But I felt that my shorts were too short so I opted for a sheer long-sleeved top to compensate for the exposed skin below. I added a hat in the same color scheme as my outfit for an adventurous, yes-I-am-in-for-new-discoveries vibe. And like all my other efforts to don a monochromatic look, I, once again failed. *sighs* This bag from Parisian was just too lovely not to bring along. Thank goodness, it didn't feel so much out of place because the pastel-colored houses made the turquoise tote look like it somehow belonged there. 

Look, Cresta even wants us to come in!

Don't forget to hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!
