What I Wore | Rolled Sleeve Tunics, Shorts & Gladiator Sandals

Hello everyone! How was your week so far?

Today I'm sharing an outfit that I wore on a casual first-date-of-the-year of my girl friends.

Lets start with my sandal whom I have already mention in my previous post. Expect more of me wearing this gladiator sandal in the coming outfits. I am, obviously, inlove with it! ^_^

StyleArt.com sent me this rolled sleeve tunics I am wearing. The cloth is cotton, its soft but its very light or should I say thin. Nonetheless, its perfect for the hot weather we are having.

Wish Granted

Hi everyone!

Gong xi fa cai to those who are celebrating Chinese new year!

Isn't it so exciting to receive items on your wishlist?

If you remember last December I posted a Christmas wishlist. Who would have thought Santa been reading my post as well that some of them was granted... ^_^

And this are...

Gladiator sandals - Thanks to Yoins.com for a great quality shoes. It was actually delayed on the delivery but it arrived in time for the new year. Talking about perfect timing!

Floral watch - The bestie knows where to look for items I want. She took reference from my wishlist blog posts. She ordered this watch via Lazada.com.ph for she cannot shop in the malls because she just gave birth to my new inaanak.

I never thought that someone would take note on the wishlist I posted on my blog! Thank you for the pahabol Christmas gift... @deestaniel! 🎁😘

Choker necklace - Last Christmas, the kiddo asked if we could buy a gift for me. He noticed that on our Christmas tree Ive bought and wrapped lots of gifts for everyone but no gift named for me. So he wanted me to have a gift to open as well even if I already knew what's inside.

What touches my heart the most is that, the thought that he wanted to buy me a gift, so I will have something to open for our New year gift opening tradition. He told me someday when he grow up he will surprise me with a gift.

Forgive me for spazzing..... but my sons the sweetest ever!!

He wants to buy me a pair necklace that both of us can wear. We happily found this lock and key necklace along with this rare-to-find choker necklace at Vanity Box.

This is the Christmas gift that the kiddo had in mind for me... Matching necklace as he said. The padlock for him and key for me! 🔐 The sweetest kid ever! 😳💕

What I Wore | Black Off-Shoulder Top & Floral Palazzo Pants

Hello Feb-ibig... ♥♥♥

How is everyone doing on the second month of the year?
There's two occasions most people in our city looking forward on celebrating this month...
And that's Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day.
Since I'm no Chinese and I currently have a non-existent love life. Will skip this topics.
P.S. Love is spoken as pag-ibig in our local dialect. That is why I greeted you with Feb-ibig! ;)

Aside from maxi dresses and maxi skirts I also love palazzo pants. I just love how comfortable and easy to style this type of pants.

My wide leg pants styling preferences...
I love to pair it with basic tees and a statement necklace.
I also love it with Off-shoulder tops.
I usually wear them on flat sandals.

My palazzo styling checklist...
Wear it with turtle neck tops.
Wear it with lace top.
For formal look, tuck in a button-down shirt with a belt.
Or wear it with blazer and heels or wedges.
For an edgy touch wear it with leather jacket.
And for casual take add denim jacket or vest.
To buy plain color palazzo pants specifically in white, black, red and dark blue.

Do you like palazzo pants? How do you wear them?

Wishlist: Stylish Cardigans

Hi Everyone!

Today Im sharing my cardigan craze.

Though its super hot during the day here in our city I always make sure I bring cardigans in my bag. This is the reason I always have a bulky bag! >.<

I am not so good at dealing with cold air. So even if its not raining but Im inside an air conditioned place/venue I immediately wear my cardigans to protect me. I also wear cardigans when Im still out during the night. Too much exposure to cold air will eventually gave me headache or worst not feeling well.

Could it be signs of aging? hahaha I dont know. All I know is that I find comfort wearing cardigans when it gets to much cold or windy.

I am actually shopping online for some new cardigans to add in my closet. And I found some stylish and great finds at Newchic.com. Since I cant buy them all at once, Im sharing my top picks or should I say wishlist here in my blog.

Do you like wearing cardigans?

Any picks from the cardigans Ive shared above?

Theme of The Year: #Invest2016

Hello there midweek! How was your week going on so far?

Since the year Ive read Bianca Gonzales' article about Theme of the Year Ive been using it since then. So instead of writing new year resolutions that I would probably not achieve by the end of the year, I set a theme to guide me for the whole year. My previous themes so far, has helped me to stay on track on what I wanted to achieve and experience for the whole year.

Last year, I ended having the theme #Travel2015. So Im pursuing the theme #Invest2016 this year. This year will be all about savings and investment. I already have several investment in mind so wish me luck that I shall succeed it and achieve it.
My investment will not be solely about money. It will also be with things and actions that I believe will be vital for myself and my families future.
Have you think of a theme for yourself this year?

What I Wore | Sleeveless Lace Dress

It's mid-week and I cant wait for weekend! :D
Here's an outfit I wore at the Gibi Shoes Fun Day event. Attending invites like this, I always consider the venue, what the event is all about and the possible itinerary or happenings in the event, when choosing for an outfit to wear. Most likely casual chic is the usual outfit for this kind of event.

However, since we're going to meet and chitchat with celebrities; Jasmine and Ella before we go to the venue of the event, I choose to wear this lace dress so I will still be stylish yet comfy. And then paired it with a not so high wedge sandals so I can freely move at the event proper after.

I'm honestly having trouble creating blog post right now...
Before I can immediately express what I wanted to share here.
Not that I don't have anything to share... Believe me I have lots of things that I wanted to share to everyone here but I just cant find the words say.
I don't know why...
But I am trying to figure it out. For now I shall bear with my slow pace in writing a new blog post.

Have a great day everyone!

CDOBloggers Christmas Party 2015

Happy new year everyone!

Last December, I attended the year-end gathering of the local bloggers group here in our city. Its been awhile since we've gathered and so its exciting to see everyone again have fun and party.

Boy Zugba hosted the Christmas party. It was actually my first time to visit the place since its opening early 2015.

True enough the food is superb. I am not much into chicken inasal but I love the taste and texture of the chicken. Special mention on the delicious atsara that comes with it, I so love it that I've ate a lot. hehe A lot of boggers also rave on the cheezy chorizo they said its delicious, no wonder it was all gone in a snap. :D The dessert was good as well... I was able to finish the whole serve of leche flan when I usually just scoop a teaspoon on other occasions. The mango shake is made with real fruit so thats another plus factor to me.

Will definitely comeback and try other food listed on their menu.

I was assigned on the games for the party... Glad they all enjoyed it and had a great laugh. The games were Chopstick game, find your Christmas song partner, Japanese dance using paper plate... There was a raffle draw also of where everyone got the chance to win a Jollibee giftchecks, Boy Zugba giftchecks and a box of Krispy Kreme donuts.
