#ShoeSelfie: Velvet Strappy Sandals

My first perks from BPI Express! Thank you!
Before I talk about my shoe selfie, let me give my readers (both regular and new) a warm hug as a sign of gratitude for visiting my blog. It feels so good to read your comments here on my blog. Im happy to gain new friends from different parts of the world.
Daghang Salamat! Kamsahamnida! Thank you! ^_^
Last April, I received an exclusive P500 Zalora gift certificate with no minimum spend when I use my BPI Card. And so I bought this snake studded cross strap sandals by Velvet... I've added an additional though because the shoes original price is PHP799.00. I choose this because I am planning to wear this for a bohemian theme event.

It was my first time to purchase in Zalora. So far was very glad with the smooth transaction and product quality. The shoes was delivered 3 days after purchase and door-to-door to our house.

What do you think of the shoes? Any bohemian outfit suggestion to match on my sandals?

What I Wore | Off-Shoulder Top & Maxi Skirt

Happy Sunday everyone! Here's my latest outfit post...
It's supposed to be rainy season during this month here in our country but it still feels like summer hasn't end yet in our city. Some parts of the country are actually experiencing storms already yet here in our city its very hot. It maybe cloudy at times but it never rains and the air is so warm that makes you sweaty and irritable.

In my previous blog wrote about me and my friends relaxing at Chali Beach Resort. Here's my outfit for that day. Since the day calls for relaxing. I opted for something comfy bohemian outfit.
How was the weather in your place?

Relaxing at Chali Beach Resort

How was your weekend so far? Friday is a holiday here in the Philippines.

"The Philippine National Government already declared July 17, 2015 as a Regular Holiday nationwide as Filipino Muslims prepare for the celebration of Eid’l Fitr, the feast marking the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan."

Me and my girl friends spent the holiday at Chali Beach Resort. Technically we planned for a swim but we ended just relaxing and had a fun chitchat. We weren't able to swim because the kids who swim before us carelessly pooped on the pool that the resort had to clean the pool, so the pool will be unavailable for 4 hours.

Parents should be mindful when their kids are using public pools. They should not just leave them there alone and should teach their kids for some good etiquette. The kids are swimming alone and no adult was watching over them except for the resorts lifeguard.

I was so excited to swim pa naman sana... but I guess what happened was a blessing in disguise because it would be harmful for us swimming on a dirty pool.

Good thing the resort has a nice view and ambiance. The wind from the sea is so relaxing that we didnt mind that our plan for a swim didn't push through. 

Here's some snapshots of Chali Beach Resort that I took...

My pretty friends enjoying a good chitchat while im busy taking photos... ;)

I like that they have this buzzer everytime you need to order or need a service from the the waiters. They're also very prompt in responding after you push the button. My friend really had a good time pushing that button... :D

My friend is a pasta lover so she ordered this pasta but she didnt enjoy this pasta though....

I ordered this Fruit Platter at Php 145.00. It taste good except for the watermelon, but way too expensive.

The beautiful sunset view by the beach.... Standing here while taking pictures makes me reminisce of old times.

My mom use to stay at my aunts house which just in the neighborhood of this resort. So we use to swim on part of this beach (in the photo below). In this beach, I had my first beach swimming where I cried out of fear. I even had a picture of it with my aunt. I was so young then...

I also remember how we use to crossed in that dikes just to swim here in the resort's beach for free. I have a relative who is a caretaker of a private property next to this resort, so we use to enter there and then swim to this resorts beach with our picnic basket swimming with us. hahaha

My memories in this resort didn't stop there... This used to be a playground before when this cottages has not been built yet. My aunts, little cousins and me used to visit here in the afternoon and play. My cousins learned how to walk here because the grass area was so wide and I had fun playing at the playground.

In this resort also was where one of my aunt had her wedding reception held. I remember after wedding, I run around still in my flower girl gown and then fell in the pool. I don't know how to swim so my uncle, the groom, had to rush in and jump in the pool in his tuxedo to save me... I was that clumsy... ^_^ It was a good memory though because everyone ended swimming in the pool after...

Those were the days... I had a great trip down memory lane in Chali Beach Resort. I didn't notice I spent so many good memories here. Its good to have visited this place once again. :)

Edgy Chic Fashion Wishlist

Aside from Bohemian style another style that I hold very near and dear to my heart is the edgy chic or the rocker-chic style. I just love how effortless, sexy, baddass and creative I can be with this style. To create this style I mix the basics with key pieces. The goal is turn boring into something unexpected, cool and a bit mysterious.

Here's how I make my style more edgy...

• I am a big fan of the half-tuck. I usually do this with my tee shirt, blouse or a button-down. 
• Boots. What I love most of this type of shoe is that you can wear it with dresses, skirts, leggings, jeans and even shorts! 
• Little Dress. Wether its a skater cuts, floral patterns, or dresses made from lace or velvet, it will look edgy with a combat boots. ;)
• I add life to a dress or skirt by wearing it with black tights, studded boots, and a denim jacket/vest. 

Here's some edgy pieces on my wishlist that Im hoping to own soon... 

PU Jacket

Loose Half Sleeve T-shirt

Tassel Short Sleeves

Black Lace-up Ankle Boots

Cut-out One-piece Swimwear

Bohemian Retro Rings Bracelets

Incase your interested on this pieces, all of this are from EricDress.com. You can also check their little dresses here, maxi dress here and sweaters here.

Scream Queens

Anyone ready for the next big hit series on TV? This coming September 22 get ready for Queen Bee Emma Roberts, Glee diva Lea Michele, pop star Ariana Grande, original scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, the hottie Nick Jonas, and a lot more stars in a new horror-comedy series. Scream Queens are from the same creator of Glee and American Horror Story.

Watch Scream Queens official trailer...

Wallace University is rocked by a string of murders. Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by its Queen B*tch, Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts). But when anti-Kappa Dean Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school's silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc, claiming one victim, one episode at a time. Part black comedy, part slasher flick, Scream Queens is a modern take on the classic whodunit, in which every character has a motive for murder... Or could easily be the next blood-soaked casualty.

Scream Queens all-star cast includes... 

• Emma Roberts (Aquamarine, Nancy Drew, Wild Child, The Art of Getting By, We're The Millers, American Horror Story: Coven), 
• Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, True Lies, Prom Night,Terror Train, Freaky Friday) 
• Lea Michele (Glee, New Year's Eve)
• Abigail Breslin (Signs, Little Miss Sunshine, My Sister's Keeper, Zombieland, The Call, Ender's Game)
• Nasim Pedrad (Saturday Night Live)
• Oliver Hudson (Going Greek, Rules of Engagement, Nashville)
• Skyler Samuels (Wizards of Waverly Place, The Stepfather, Furry Vengeance, The Nine Lives of Chloe King, American Horror Story: Freakshow, The Duff) 
• Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee, Madea's Family Reunion, Joyful Noise, Jump In!, Rags, True Jackson VP)
• Billie Lourd (Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens)
• Diego Boneta (Mean Girls 2, Rock of Ages)
• Glen Powell (The Dark Knight Rises, The Expendables 3)
• Lucien Laviscount (Waterloo Road)
• Niecy Nash (Clean House, Reno 911!, The Soul Man, Selma)
• Nick Jonas (Camp Rock, JONAS/Jonas L.A., Careful What You Wish For, Kingdom)
• Ariana Grande (Victorious, Sam & Cat)
• Charisma Carpenter (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Veronica Mars, The Expendables). 

Taylor Swift was also offered a role in this series but she turn down because she has no time for taping.

Who Im looking forward in this series are Emma Roberts and Ariana Grande.

Anyone excited to watch this new TV series?
