I'm back!!! And Hong Kong was awesome as always, tiring but overall just great. I was a little disappointed though with the clothes...I think most of what they had we can already find here. And H&M started coming out with their fall clothes already so it's not appropriate in our weather anymore. I have some interesting finds though which I'll share with you in upcoming posts.

This is an outfit from before I left. 

I rarely do my outfit photos inside our house because as you can obviously everything is so orange. I'm already too yellow as it is, this lighting just makes me look like an "oompa loompa". But it was raining really hard that day so indoors it was.

Pax sent this shirt with my order from her latest Archive collection. Walang halong pambobola, but I've been eyeing it for a while now. I was just a little unsure of how it'll fit me. Super happy that she did send it over...I LOVE IT! Thanks PAX! You know na my style!

Frostbite

There's no denying that I'm wearing purple lipstick here.. It's not a pinky purple or a lilac, just plain purple. I've been on the hunt for a shade like this and when I finally got it, I was honestly scared to use it.  My sister kept telling me I look like I'm suffering from frostbite which was kinda true especially on dimmer lights. BUT I wanted it so panindigan na diba?

I'm liking it though. Not for everyday but it's a good color for my collection. How about you guys, would you wear something like this? or it's just a little too out there? 

I'm off to Hong Kong in a few days and the number one agenda is to hit up MAC stores. It's definitely cheaper there so expect some new lip shades when I get back. Do you have any suggestions?

Can Never Have Too Much Bows

Another backlog post. Wore this to lunch with my family and cousins. I didn't really think the dress was crumpled until I saw these photos. Yikes!

This dress was just too adorable to pass up. As soon as I saw Pax post it up on Archive, I knew I had to have it.  I don't know what it is about "bows" that I can't seem to resist. 

And I know I know, you're all probably getting sick and tired of my Litas. It's all I ever wear these days. I wore a different pair of shoes the other day and it just didn't feel right on my feet anymore. They have become spoiled and stubborn. These shoes are just too comfy. But I'm on the hunt for an alternative.

A Trip to Salcedo

tee: Forever21
blazer: somewhere in HK
shoes: Topshop

Went for a very basic outfit because we were headed for a market. I've had this tee since last year and is probably one of my most worn clothing. It's super comfy and fuss free. And my boyfriend was beyond ecstatic to see me in flats and not in Litas. He despises my JC babies a little because it make me a wee bit taller than him. I did bring a blazer with me because we dropped by Rockwell Bazaar that night.

Also, put on very minimal make up. Tinted moisturizer, light eyebrow powder, touch of mascara and of course the infamous highlighter pink Candy Yumyum lipstick.  My face felt naked w/o my eyeliner. 

After our disappointment with the food in Mercato, the boyfriend and I dragged our "anti-morning selves" to Salcedo Market a few Saturdays ago. We were a little more prepared this time. I did a little bit of research the night before. My favorites were the samosa and baklava. The Japanese pancake was yummy as well... actually most of the food we tried were quite delicious. Unlike in Mercato were the food were mostly redundant, Salcedo has a very wide variety. I'm been planning to go back with my friends soon. It's worth the early morning call.

Sunday's Best

One thing you should know about me is that I disappear constantly.. for no reason whatsover. Anyhows, I'm back for now. That was another long hiatus and now I seem to be out of loop of the blogger world. How's everyone? 

This outfit was from 2 weeks ago. Lunch out with the family. I try to tone down my quirkiness during Sundays because my Dad tends to be conservative sometimes. This definitely got the Dad Approval Seal. 

I'm so bored with my hair at the moment. I'm seriously contemplating on cutting it short short! I know the whole "magtatampo" ang hair ko so I'm a little hesitant. Thoughts????
