Heat Wave

For my loyal readers, you must know by now that I dress according to my mood.

This romper I'm wearing was borne out of my desire to be casual yet posh.

This was my look when I attended Hugh's 1st Birthday party at Century Park Hotel.

Happy birthday Hugh! Make your daddy and mommy proud!

You can do it kiddo.

It may be June already but it certainly is not as cool as it used to be.

Sigh, what Climate Change can do.

Right after the birthday celebration, my family went straight to Greenbelt to stroll around.

Lo and behold, the mall's ventilation was not as cool as before.

I guess we really can't blame the mall's management as electricity rates are hiking up.

What I wore was in fact perfect! 

I have "aircon vents" all over (haha)

Thank God I was wearing a semi-backless attire.

This look I paired with heels. 

They instantly add oomph to any look.

And of course, wear a smile and it could be your best accessory.

Got this Romper from Apartment8, one of my favorite shops.

 I got my heels from downtown Manila.

Definitely a good buy!

How do you like my Look?

Ending this post with something creative.

Since my brother was caught in the background, he could serve as my props as well.

Thus, captioning this photo as "The One that Got Away"

LOL.

 bet on the winning team.

Ateneo may have been an underdog against the Archers following a 117-104 loss last year,

but the game is about to change as The Eagles will be making a comeback.

No Other Woman

When it comes to love, there must be no third party.

And when it comes to family, 

there should be no other woman that deserves only the best...

Before the final reveal, checkout my look for the day

I dressed up for the occasion because we are going to Solaire.

My second time there! Love that place :)

I wanted to sport a chill and sexy look.

Green is certainly one of the best choices as it looks young, vibrant and alive.

And of course, backless for the extremely hot weather in the Philippines.

So the time has come, Drumrolls pls...

Of course, MOM is the one and only Woman who deserves the best :)

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

(Picture taken 2 years ago)

How time flies!

Off we go to SOLAIRE RESORT & CASINO!!!

The beautiful fountains will greet you the moment you enter.

It's patterned after the beautiful Dubai and Macao.

So magical!

As people would say, 

Mom looks so young and she could pass as another sister of mine.

Thank you Mom for always being there for me despite my being stubborn.

I love you :)

We ate at Yakumi, a signature Japanese Restaurant inside Solaire Resort & Casino.

Very modern and sophisticated!

You will easily fall in love with the design

And look!!! They even provide special chairs for bags.

They sure know how to treat their guests well.

Now my handbag is getting special treatment :)

 Food is extremely delectable and certainly a must try.

My personal favorite was the Australian Lamb Chops aka Saikyo Yaki.

Definitely one of the best lamb chops I've tasted.

Excellent Preparation and Presentation of Food, that is why I intentionally didn't post pictures! (haha)

I want you to see for yourself how creative they serve their dishes.

I don't want to spoil it.

You'll thank me :)

So there, How did you surprise your mom on her special day?

Now back to some last tips on my attire

You can also use the headpiece I'm wearing as a scarf, works vice versa.

At the end of the day, it's all about creativity and putting that YOU in your outfit :)

Smile and Just have fun! :)

Beat the Odds

Thought for the Day

Heads or Tails. Odd or Even. Yes or No.

All these have one common denominator: Choice

I guess it's safe to say that: 

Life is a gamble;

It's a matter of how you play it.

I wore this to Shangrila for a leisurely stroll and of course dinner.

I particularly love my pants because it's very unique.

Think of  Yin and Yang or Harvey Dent aka Two-Face from Dark Knight (haha)

Interesting play of colors I must say.

How do you like my outfit for today?

Top from Freeway

Pants by DE

Loafers from Tomato

Since the pants already scream attention,

 my advice is to wear tops that are neutral in color.

White or Black are my best bet.

Remember to have one center of attraction.

So now I'd like to share with you where my family and I had dinner!

IKKORYU FUKUOKA RAMEN

A new restaurant located in Level 5 of Shangrila's new and exciting East Wing.

Here's what we ordered

Ikkoryu Stick Tonkatsu

Crunchy Pork Cutlets

 Ajitama Tonkotsu

Topped with a special half-boiled egg that is fully marinated with a special blended soy sauce base

(Indeed my favorite!)

 Gyoza

 Yakimeshi

Asari Butter 

Stir fried clam with butter

Everything we ordered was delicious!

This explains why it's always packed.

 I highly recommend it :)

Cheers,

Take Me Away

Want some quick fix to perk up your day?
My answer is simple. Wear a color that you'll look good in.
In my case, it would be the mixture of the colors Blue and Green. 
I'm guessing Teal is the exact color.

Dress from Bazaar

Belt from Plains & Prints

Aviator shades 

Loafers from Tomato

Wearing bright colors will not only make you noticeable, but also have a positive effect on your attitude.            

 Many say that Green is one of the best colors as it is one of the dominant colors of nature. 

Thus, shifting your attention to nature or to a color associated to it (NOTE: Even for just a few minutes!) can actually relax you.

Feel like experimenting? Then mix different shades similar to what I just did. 

Just make sure that the colors will complement each other and not hurt the eyes of bystanders.

 You wouldn't want them to have an eye-sore, would you?

Aside from feeling good this day, I actually did get several compliments about my look. 

Thank you random people. That was definitely a Plus for me :)

                                                                                                    

                                                                                                        With Love,
