i'm back!

Well hello there, Internet. Sorry to have neglected this blog in the past week - work, plus this lingering cold has rendered me MIA and I haven't been able to take decent outfit photos since all I could manage was lie in bed in my pajamas while working. 

But, this weekend, I have fully recovered and I am back!

I was looking at recaps of NYFW and was inspired by Emanuelle Alt sporting a skinny cargo.

I'm loving the whole military/camo looks lately. I am now in search of an oversized olive green tee.

Topped it all off with touches of brown and gold.

I was wearing: Mossimo (Target) skinny cargo pants, Cotton On tank top, shoes from Charles & Keith, leather bracelets from H&M and Pull & Bear.

like a cowboy

The combo of the denim shirt + ankle boots recalls a cowboy costume. Ha! I wanted to pair my new favorite ankle boots with shorts this time.

I'm loving this color combination and the outfit in general - just feels so relaxed.

I was wearing: Chambray shirt from Zara, Cotton On shorts, Bershka ankle boots.

casual animal

Judging by the amount of time this good old chambray shorts has appeared on this blog, you can probably tell that this is one of my favorite pairs. I just love how perfect it is for casual days. You can pair chambray with pretty much anything. Like this leopard print black and white, for example. It tones down the boldness of  the animal print, making it great for a casual look.

For an even more eclectic finish, paired with my bright yellow wedges. 

BTW, since I am wearing pretty much head-to-toe Cotton On in this look,  I heard Manila has opened its first Cotton On store. While not the best quality product out there, Cotton On is great for basics - I swear by their slouchy, oversized button-down's and if you want to buy trendy items for a reasonable price.


I was wearing: shirt and chambray shorts from Cotton On, yellow wedges from a random store in Philippines, Parfois bag (Manila).

flowers

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately. I've been so busy the past few days that I didn't have much time to capture my past outfits to share with you. 

floral_2
Wore my new floral shirt for the first time yesterday. For a first look, I kept it pretty basic paired with a dark-wash skinny jeans. To keep the girly-ness at a minimum, I turned to "tougher" footwear.

I'm really loving this shirt. It even looks a bit like a Japanese kimono. That color and print is great too for pairing with pretty much any color - neon yellow, blues, reds and pinks.

These boots are a lucky find from Bershka. It's got the right amount of heel which makes it perfect even for days where you'll do a lot of walking. 

I was wearing: Stradivarius button-down shirt, jeggings from Mossimo at Target (US), Bershka ankle boots.

holiday

crete
If the gods permit it, I will be catching the last few days of warm summer months soon. I'm super excited! I haven't been on a holiday break in ages and I can't wait to kick back and enjoy the sun and sand.

For outfits, I'm planning to keep things simple - light, flowy dresses, denim shorts, striped tee, light button-downs and sandals!

a special birthday

Crooked couple standing side by side - is that you? is that me?

Happy birthday to my favorite boy. You make me feel like one lucky girl. :)
