SUPERSALE TIME!

It's almost summer and that only means one thing -- time to hide our warm clothes behind our closet and shop for new summer pieces! 

Thank God there's the SUPERSALE BAZAAR happening this weekend! We not only get to shop for unique pieces, we can get them with a fat discount!! 

Don't forget to also visit our booth, we'll be launching our summer collection -- a mix of tribal and pastel! Plus our summer blazers!!! And because we love you so much we're giving away 20% OFF OUR NEW COLLECTION!  

So what are you waiting for?! Mark your calendars and hop on over to the SUPERSALE BAZAAR! :)

London 2012 : First Snow!

Okay, first of all, sorry for the very looong hiatus! I know, my last post was January?! I didn't even notice. I was just so busy (no, it's not a lame excuse. I really was!) with school, work, and moving in to a new house. So anyway, to make up for lost time, I am gonna give you a blow by blow update of our 14-day London trip! 

So when we landed, it was snowing!!! We were so lucky because it was the first snowfall of the year! Not to mention, it hadn't snowed in London for quite some time already. It was also my first time in adult years to touch and feel snow! 

Heavy snow

Say hello to my parka!

You will see in my future blog entries that I did a lot of mix & match. 

I opted to pack light so my suitcase will have a lot of room for shopping. I learned from my previous traveling mistakes. Packing light is really the way to go! ;)

P.S. Another reason why I haven't been blogging lately is because my closet is still under construction, so my clothes are still in boxes! It's so hard to get dressed. :( I'm hoping it will be done this month and I will let you in on my closet and shoe collection! ;)

Sweet Serenity

Before the break ends, I wanted to have one last hurrah. So, I went all the way to Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay to try her signature massage. All I can say is, it was worth the trip. Imagine being in a breezy room with open windows fronting the garden and having the most detailed massage ever. It is to die for. 

I think I'm gonna make this a monthly ritual.

TRAVEL LIGHT in 2012!

One thing I learned in 2011 is not to carry baggage. 

So this 2012, I'm travelling light and leaving all of 2011's baggage behind!

Try it and see how wonderful life is. :) 

Spectacular view of fireworks all over the metro in our rooftop balcony! 

It just made up for the fact that we didn't have time to buy fireworks! 

 This cute puppy (SumoSam) is afraid of them though!

SQUEEZE THE DAY!

When I saw the billboard of JAMBA JUICE along C5 that says "NOW BLENDING", I literally went there right away to grab a cup (or two!) of their fresh and yummy juices! 

Strawberry-Banana yogurt and a Strawberries wild smoothie! So perfect for a hot day in Manila!

RAJO! x PARISIAN

"A girl's fashion addiction would probably be shoes." - Rajo Laurel 

Yup, it's true! A girl can never have too many shoes. Any shoe addict would go gaga over a designer collaboration with an affordable brand or at least I would say that's what happened during the RAJO! x PARISIAN LAUNCH. It's about time this kind of collaboration happened. 

Aren't they to die for?! 

I love my SoFA girls!

I'M BAD ASS

For a typical day of school and work, I decided to come in a bad ass outfit involving my trusty leather jacket. I love the freezer temperature in school because it gives me a reason to wear my thick jackets that I normally can't use because of the humid Manila weather.

THE INSPIRATION: 

"First they put away the dealers, then they put away the prostitutes, then they shooed away the bums, and beat and bashed the queers. Turned away asylum seekers, fed us suspicions and fears. We didn't raise our voice, we didn't make a fuss. It's funny, there was no one left to notice when they came for us."

-Peyton Sawyer, One Tree Hill
