Nautical Wrap

Free afternoons make me love Level III Medicine more.

It just feels so good to salvage the hours spent awake at night with naps after lunch. Now I can read more, cram less, and blog outfit posts in between. I might not have this kind of sched again, so I'll do my very best to enjoy it while it lasts.

Aside from free afternoons, I've declared every other weekend a free weekend, too.

That's when I go back to my hometown to have my favorite meals cooked and to wear clothes that I couldn't wear as a pedestrian and a commuter here in the city. This nautical top is one of the cutesy items that  Wholesale7.net sent over last week. I'm not sure if I wore it correctly (it looks more prim with the model wearing it here) but I guess it's one of those one-piece-worn-in-five-ways kind of tops because some of my attempts to twist and twirl the wrap turned out as halter, one-shoulder, and sleeveless tops respectively. Amazing, right? I paired it with simple black shorts and pink ballet flats. What a comfortable way to dress on a sunny weekend! I honestly can't wait for the weekend after next to come. :D

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

Fat Cheeks, Big City

I have the fattest cheeks in the whole, wide world.

Yes, I am one of those few fortunate souls. Let me eat a platter full of rice, pasta, fried chicken, cake, ice cream and pizza every meal daily for a week without any form of exercise and my body wouldn't show a single evidence of weight gain. That is, if my face is covered by a paperbag. Everything I eat seem to always go to the healthiest part of my body--my cheeks. Ugh. Now all of you understand why I'm such a poker-faced blogger in photos. :|

Of course, I had to put that "facial expression" to use again during my collaborative shoot with another Iloilo-based online shop -It's Vintage  Darling a few weeks ago. Because it took the whole afternoon for the collection to be photographed, I decided to loose up a little and smile as I wore my normal clothes back. Cheeks were still chubby but thanks to Russel for taking these photos! :)

This plaid dress with drapery here and there may have stood on its own already but I just feel naked being minimalistic. Hence, the colorful neon add-ons! It wouldn't hurt brightening up an already bright and sunny day, right? Just one piece of style advice though, never leave your house empty-handed, errrr, unarmed. Your arms deserve to be prettified, too! Complete that colorful look with arm candies from Superb Finds. Skulls, spikes, chains, braids - name it and they have it. How I look and feel extra fun-loving with my arm in these circles! :D
