Rings, Rings, Rings

Last Thursday I had a shoot in UP for Sachico Shop. They have the most adorable rings ever and once again, I must thank my friend, Mich, for making this possible. She was the one who introduced me to Annelle, the owner of the shop. Merci beaucoup, Mich! :] Thanks to Annelle too! I had fun working with you. :]  


I also enjoyed doing this shoot and I'm really happy with the results. These photos were taken and edited by Tinee Cruz. Isn't she amazing? :] Here are more pictures of the rings from Sachico Shop's latest collection. There are only a few pieces left so go over here to see what you can get! :]

Teddy Bears and Flowers

I wore this outfit to lunch with Kyle last Friday. Once again, we were in Rockwell. It's the easiest place to go to from SoFA, considering I have to go back to school once my 4 hour break is over, haha. Anyway, I'm wearing a lovely printed top (more about this later) from PH's car, denim shorts, a braided belt from SM, a necklace from Forever 21, my new loafers from So Fab, and my wonderful boater hat! :]


You can't really see the print of my top in the full body shots, but it's actually covered with teddy bears and flowers. When PH showed this to me, I knew I had to buy it, haha. It was so cute and well, it was so me. It was absolutely perfect for the girl who loves stories and childhood memories. Not that I had a teddy bear. Well, I had this Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy that I was attached to for a while, haha. But I had (and still have, I might add, haha) a dinosaur, not a teddy bear. So when people talk about teddy bears, I think of this little blue, purple and pink dinosaur I have called Dino (Dee-no). Maybe I'll post about him someday. Hahaha, I am such a dork, so enough about that. Going back to the top, I thought it was too adorable to give up and I am really glad I got it! What do you guys think of this look? And once again, thanks for the lovely photos, Kyle!! :]

Okay, I know this is a failed shot, HAHA. The wind was making my contacts dry up and I guess I couldn't take it anymore, hahaha. 

There we go! Much, much better! Haha. :]

Here's a close up of my floral and Teddy Bear printed shirt! :]

My new favorite shoes! I just wish they wouldn't get dirty so fast. Suede can be annoying that way.

Here's one more thing before I get back to school work. This is a plate I did for my Digital Fashion Illustration class. I had to render something sparkly and I wanted to do something that wasn't so dainty. All my previous plates were so girly and fairy-like, haha. I thought about London-- specifically, the Buckingham Palace guards-- and came up with this design. I love it and I hope I get a good grade, haha!! I always enjoy making these plates. They're so much fun! Anyway, I have to finish more plates and flat drawings so goodnight to you all! :]

Deciphering Me

I'm on a break from working on midterm projects and decided to blog. I'm actually enjoying this term's midterms, haha. Is that weird? Gosh, I can be such a nerd, hahaha. Anyway, these photos were taken by Kyle (thank you once again! :]) some Saturdays ago-- the one right before his birthday, I believe-- when we had lunch in Eastwood. This set is another one of my favorites taken by him. It also helps that I love my outfit, haha! I got the top from my friend PH. She sells clothes in her car so I call her "store" PH's car, hahaha. When I saw the top I knew I had to get it and how could I resist? It was only 150php. Not a bad buy at all. I paired the top with cuffed denim shorts, a braided belt from SM, my boater hat and my brown boots from HK.

This was taken at Pancake House where we ate :]

More outfit shots! :]

This is my favorite photo from this set! :]

I got this title, yet again, from another Brooke Fraser song. I absolutely adore her! If you wanna hear the song, here's the video. Hope you guys like it! It's one of my favorite songs she's done. :]

Your telescope eyes see everything clearly

My vision is blurred but I know what I heard echoing all around

While I am tuning you in, you are deciphering me

Not such a mystery, not such a faint in a far away sound

Pineapple Pockets

I've been wanting to blog this outfit for a long time but I never had time to get the pictures taken. I finally found the time and here it is! I'm wearing a floral jumpsuit from HK, yellow cardigan, heels from Parisian and my boater hat.


I promised you guys would see the pineapple pockets of this cardigan soon and you will see them in this post if you keep reading :] and just so you know, this post will be a tad bit photo heavy. Thanks for all the lovely pictures, Kyle! :] 


I woke up this morning and felt sick. I had a really bad cough so I decided to sleep in and stay home instead of attending service and doing my family's usual Sunday errands. I ended up reading (what a surprise) and finally finished Mockingjay, the third book of the Hunger Games trilogy. Now that I've finished it all, I'm kinda sad because I really enjoyed this series. It really was a brilliant read and I really had a hard time putting the books down. I even read them during meals. I'll be reading Long Halloween next. Yes, another Batman comic, haha. After that I think I'll read the Lost Hero again, even though I read that after Christmas. No harm in reading books more than once. I'm hoping to get my hands on some new books in the following weeks. Any suggestions on what to read? :]

Accessories: lady bug necklace from HK, Eiffel Tower necklace from Forever 21, bangles and elephant ring from Belle York, fox ring from PLF, black studded bracelet from Target, Tinker Bell watch and key necklace from Kyle :]

Dinosaur earrings from Just G

And here are my cardigan's pineapple pockets! They're not that useful but they're way adorable :]

Pixie Hollow

Now for my first outfit post! I wore this when I watched Harry Potter two Saturdays ago. I LOVED the movie but more on that next time. I'm wearing a boater hat (which you'll be seeing quite a bit:]), a fur vest from Hong Kong, a thrifted floral dress, a Lego watch, socks from Forever 21 and boots from Hong Kong. I'm also carrying a thrifted bag that I bought with the dress :]

Here's a close up of the necklaces I wore. Paperclip necklace from Forever 21 and the key necklace was a gift :] 

Here's a better picture of my boots and bag :]
