Stolen Moments

Sometimes,even when you don't have time, you have to take time for yourself. I've kinda been on edge this week, just because the end of the semester is soooo close i can practically taste the freedom of not having to wake up at 6am daily...lol. Which means, right now i'm up to my eyeballs in exams...
Anyway, i felt like i had to take random breaks for myself btwn studying...whether for power napping (essential) or just dancing...just to feel sane!
And yes, i do dress up even while i'm cramming for exams. I'm a staunch believer of Look Good, Feel Good, Do Great!!

Back in Town

I wore this outfit out to a Sunday brunch.
I've missed my hair quite a lot...but i'm trying to keep from playing in it ALL the time. But i couldn't resist doing these twists...i'm still deciding if i like them on me.
Outfit wise...i really like this jumper, somehow it doesn't get enough wear in my closet.

Full Skirts

2 exams down, 1 to go. As is usual with my exam day routine, i dressed for success by wearing a skirt, this time paired with the most ladylike spring trenchcoat. I can tell this is one of those pieces that i'll be wearing till its in bits and pieces . I like the combination of blue and peach-orange and i'm resolving to finding more ways to wear this skirt. I'm going back into my tent in the library to study for my accounting exams now...Hope everyone's week is going fantastically!! And i turn 21 tomorrow....Yeeeeaaaahhy!!!

Wardrobe Challenge > 1 skirt 3 Ways: Day 3

I'm sure most of you have been on the edge of your seats wondering what i had planned for the last day of the 1 skirt, 3 ways challenge. I had a variety of errands to run so i knew this look had to be very comfortable and easy. Thankfully, its finally warmed up enough so i decided to bare my legs for the day. I'm really looking forward to the warmth of spring's arrival, can't wait to remove tights from my daily attire.

How to Wear Stripes

I found another cobalt blue skirt! Yes! This color is so striking and beautiful and when I saw that this skirt had Pockets and fits me better than the other skirt. So of course, I knew I had to have it. Skirts with pockets always wink at me and trick me into taking them home. Sneaky skirts! I paired it with this crisply striped dress (worn as shirt) for a simple yet eye-catching combination. Lately, I’ve become a bit fascinated with my shoulders, so expect to see them more often, especially with the weather warming up. Yeeeaaah!







I had to put away my shoulders after school for work, but the moment i get off, its going back to shoulders galore!

Celebrations

I love celebrating. I feel like a lot of people take their lives for granted, and even worse they take the people who enrich their lives for granted. I strive to always make time to celebrate my friends and my family. Which is why I didn’t hesitate to spend my day celebrating with the Manfriend.We never got a chance to celebrate the anniversary of our 2nd year of being together because it falls during the hectic holiday season. At the Manfriend’s urging of, “better late than never”, we donned our bests and did just that.
Although we didn’t go out (it was so cold ), I decided to dress up anyway. I channeled the simple glamour of Katherine Hepburn ‘s almost slip-like dress, by wearing a vintage night gown as a dress (ensuring comfort) and tucked a flower in my hair. The Manfriend was none the wiser of my little secret(till I told him).

What I wore to class:
Cardi ( F21), Shirtdress (Dots) Tights (F21) Boots (Chinese Laundry)

“Dress” (Vintage), Flower Pin (Target)

Bright Blue Skies

I wore this lovely blue dress today to match the sun filled day with a side of bright blue skies, that was Sunday. It warmed up to the 40's and after the bone chilling weather we've had, i had to break out a dress. This dress is thrifted and and i had to alter its length because it came down to the nether region that exists past the knees and right before the ankles.
What i wore:
Blazer (Thrifted)
Dress (Thrifted)
Belt (Dots)
Tights (CVS)
Clutch (Thrifted)
Ankle Boots (Go Jane)

A New Year And a New Look!

Happy New Year Everyone!!
I hope everyone had a fun filled, relaxing and wonderful new year's day. I would say we're all pretty blessed to see the new year. I spent the first day of the new year lounging about in my comfiest clothes hanging out with my family. We decided to leave the house but we were limited to our choices of where to go, due to the declining temperatures, so we ended up going to one of the posher *cough *richer malls, where a lot of stars have been spotted. Of course when i went, i spotted no one. Grr.
This is what i wore on New Year's Day:
Coat (F21)
Sweater (Papaya)
Skirt (F21)
Tights (Target)
Ribbon (taken off a dress)
Boots (Chinese Laundry)

One of my new year resolutions was to step outside my comfort zone. Try something new and different for me appearance wise So TADA!!!. I'm still playing with and adjusting to the new length, but on the plus side its very low maintenance which i love AND its got that french girl effortless cool vibe thing going on.

This is what i wore:

Faux Leather Jacket (X-mas Gift F21)

Pashmina (X-mas Gift)

Jeans (F21)

Boots (American Eagle)

The Friday Blues

Happy Friday Folks! It rained ALL DAY today. Very, very dreary and wet. And since I cannot decide on rain boots that I like, I broke out my “old faithful” black boots, and wore those instead. This was one of those days that make you want to run home and jump in the covers and stay there. But Alas, I had morning classes, and work right after, so off I went. I was a bit nervous walking along in that wind and rain, that I was going to have to battle against crazy winds, meaning that I have to chase my umbrella or it flips over the wrong-side up, leaving me unprotected. Thankfully there was none of that. So as always, the name of the game was comfort. The goal was to stay warm outside and be able to peel off layers inside, and stay dry @ all times I do believe it was a success.
What i wore:
Blue Cropped Cardi(Macys)
Sequined Top(F21)
Jeans(Papaya)
Boots(Chinese Laundry)
Both Scarves(Thrifted)
Bag(Target)
