Why So Sad?

top: sorry forgot..I think Greenhills???

cover up: Bought from Hong Kong

shorts and necklace: H&M

shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

lips: Mac Party Parrot

Threw some stuff on and I was good to go. What I love about this outfit is how simple it looks from the front but as I turn around you get a little something more. I've worn this cover up a couple of times already but never had the opportunity to take pictures. So glad I was finally able to. I just wish the tiger's eyes weren't so sad. They're not as ferocious as I would like. hahaha..

Anyways...

I apologize for the very sporadic updating and the one or two sentences post. I'm a very fickle person and at the moment, I can't seem to blog properly. But I'm easing my way back into it. Hopefully I get more interesting stuff/outfit to blog about soon.

And...

About those lipstick swatches. I tried doing those...but the lens I have now is not really made for that. So that's not happening anytime soon. Maybe if I finally have the money to buy a macro lens...swatches galore!

Ok, that's all for now. Bye!

Flamingo

top: Forever21

pants: H&M

shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

lips: MAC Flamingo

Something really chill for a day spent with the boyfriend. Woke up early to try and surprise him but the traffic was so bad, I got there late and he was already up. Boo! I did get him a cake for his birthday though...

That's kinda all for now..My mind is elsewhere. Sorry.

Yoga In The Wild

Yoga in the Wild by Ciay Misa: A Book Launch

Today, more and more Filipinos are exploring the healthy lifestyle that comes from doing yoga. With this masterful art of toning the body comes not only physical well-being, but emotional and psychological healing as well. Yoga in the Wild, a book featuring the transformative power of yoga in one's life, will be launched this February 13, 2012, Monday at 5 in the afternoon.

“Talikwas, an unfolding from within, from inside-out. An intimate exploration into primordial energy that underlies all of creation... Once the source is tapped, the body can move naturally, fluid and graceful, yet powerful and balanced.”

Written by successful businesswoman, mother, yogi and free spirit, Lucia "Ciay" Misa, this book is highly recommended for those who live and breathe yoga and adventure. The book is inspired by Ciay's funniest, wildest and most memorable moments with her family and friends around the world, and how yoga as talikwas has changed her life.

I BADLY want to go...but I can't!

It's really frustrating to live up north sometimes...most events are too far.

Anyways, I hope some of you can.

It's open to the public and there's even a mini yoga lesson. And all proceeds of the book sales will go to Roots of Health (Ugat ng Kalusugan), a non-profit organization dedicated to improve reproductive health and to eradicate the malnutrition of women and children in the communities of Palawan.

Pink Explosion

top and shorts: Forever21

shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Lita

lipstick: Mac Candy Yumyum

Yep, decided not to sell these pink babies. I guess I never really wanted to. So, I waited for the perfect occasion to wear it : Chinese New Year. This would be my go to "we're-chinese-therefore-we-wear-colorful-clothes-on-special-occasions" shoes. Admittedly though, it might be considered hideous by the traditional Chinese oldies..(I'm not being age-ist or racist ok, I actually heard one of them say it.) Who cares??? I want them. And my dad has long given up on my wardrobe choices, so there!

Anyways...

I've rediscovered my love for my Candy YumYum. I've forgotten just how shockingly neon it is. Just look at the first photo! Malayo pa lang, kitang kita na!!! It's the first pink lipstick that I ever loved like this.. hahaha.. Pardon the "lipstick addict" babble..can't help it.

That's it for now. Talk to you all soon..
