A long overdue post I know, I guess work and some Surgeon (Grey's Anatomy) addiction got in the way, apologies, but now I'm back and finally sharing with you my day trip to Malapascua island. It was a 45 minutes to 1 hour boat ride from Kandaya Beach Resort, Daaangbantayan, so we got plenty of time to spare on reading a book, nap and taking a lot of photos. As you've noticed, the picture taking part was a bit of a struggle because of the strong winds and waves. Luckily, we got some decent and some dramatic photos, agree?

Anyway, hope you could find some time to visit this place, I assure you, you will be relaxed as you ever can imagine and very pleased with the whole experience. Try some color blocking while you're at it, it will surely make you feel belonged and stand out at the same time! Enjoy summer!!! 

A Sunday love affair!

Dress (old), Headwrap from Forever 21 (they have a wide range of designs where you can choose what works for you), Sandals from Payless, Bag from Parfois, Shades from Aldo

This soft denim Sunday dress has been with me for years, and honestly I find it too simple and ordinary before. Lo and behold, when I matched it my current favorite pink headwrap with a big pink ribbon, it changes my feelings for the dress. Just a brief of a background, the way I have worn my headwrap is to give me relief from my hair and more ventilation. I never thought it would look stylish but it did! Miracles do happen even in accidents. <3

White shirt from H&M
Dotted circle skirt from Forever 21
Sneakers from Keds
Blazer from Forever 21

Trying out a sporty chic look, never thought it was this easy to achieve. A shirt, a circle skirt and a sneakers are some of the key to have this look. Put on some blazer and off you go! You can also achieve the sporty chic with your heels on, you just have to reverse the equation. But for me comfort and style should always meet.

These photos were taken at Taal Vista Hotel, Tagaytay City, Philippines. The view is breathtaking! You know how I am a beach girl, but the greenery and the cute Taal volcano can be equally comforting. I guess I'm truly a nature lover! I felt very fortunate to have this view from my room, I never felt like working with this. Plus, it made my outfit stands out even more, yeah?

Can't wait to try more styles! Be sure to have the courage to try something new, you'll never know what truly works for you if you have not try all, right?

Laced up!

Snake skin sandals from Blanc Dot, The Ramp Store
Straw hat from Kultura, The SM Store
Bucket bag from Stradivarius
 

Pairing lace and denim on one of my outfits while at the beach, and I have to say I love the look, don't you? This look has the right amount of drama and femininity in it, just the way I like it. The best think about this outfit is that it gives an illusion, like a way to hide some of those pounds you gained in pigging out during a vacation.

That would be all for now! <3

 

Don't forget to hype this look on lookbook and chictopia!

Serenity

 

Finally posting another beach trip from last month's summer escapade with my favorite people. We went to Coco Grove, Laiya, Batangas, and they stood by their name, so the place is filled with palm (coconut) trees. As compared to other beaches I have been to, this place is way below than the others, in terms of cleanliness of the beach and sea water, whiteness of the sand and the sunset is in the opposite of its location.

 

But, with all those things lacking, I still felt the serenity I needed from all the stress I accumulated from the past-paced city life. Ahh, what a treat! This is really my comfort and peaceful zone.

 

The increasing temperature in the Philippines has made me to opt for cropped tops and short shorts, for the obvious reason of comfort and enough ventilation. In this trip, that's what I mostly packed, for my first day, I wore an Aztec print cropped top and paired it with white lace shorts. My top and shorts both have simple silhouettes but the Aztec print and the contrast of lace made it stand out and shout Chic! What do you think?
