Thanks to everyone who has stopped by my blog, followed me, made a comment and have continuously supported everything that i have done here. I really appreciate it with my whole heart!

answers part 2

so today was the start of another marketing research week for me. off i went to university and did whatever i needed to accomplish there.

outfit: jacob cardigan, people are people top, aa circle scarf, ardene tights, sirens boots

moving on to the next installation of my question and answer post...

1. what disney character would you like to be?
i would be mulan or belle (beauty and the beast). quite odd characters, right? but i love both of their stories! :D

2. what inspires your outfits? do you have certain people in mind that you admire or is it something else?
hmm.. other people inspire me. that's the reason i enjoy logging in to chictopia. my mood definitely inspires my outfits. in as much as i have this certain style, my outfits can vary from being too laidback to being too dressed up or being a bit in the tomboy side, depending on my mood.

3. what made you start blogging, particularly about fashion?
honestly, i became interested in the idea of fashion blogging even way back when i was still living in the philippines. however, i didn't have the luxury of time and resources to do that back home since i was busy with school and extra curricular activities. what even encouraged me to really get into the whole blogging scene was when i started to pay more attention to how i dress. here in canada, i was able to control my own money and purchase what i want. that gave me the freedom to explore not just clothes, but fashion as a whole.

4. how has your fashion sense/style evolved since you started blogging?
i pertain to blogging for this question when i started my chictopia account, and not just this blog. i feel like ever since i got into it, i became bolder and more creative with my choices. in as much as i have always loved wearing trendy pieces, i think that when i started blogging, i became more aware of the possibilities of mixing and matching certain pieces in my wardrobe that i have never thought of. also, i was able to expand my shopping horizon, in the sense that i try to explore more places beyond the mall -- say thrift stores, small boutiques, online shops and garage sales.

5. what's one fashion trend you cannot stand/despise the most?
ooohhh.... it's not that i cannot stand it, but im just not a fan of t-shirts with brand names. im ok with bags or shoes or accessories. but i try to avoid the 'hollister-ae-gap-old navy' shirt trend. i do own a few, but they were because people gave them to me (and really, i just wear them in the gym or here at home. hahaha!).

thanks for the questions!!! :D feel free to drop your comments below. :D

answers over milkshakes & cookies

so yesterday, i still went to university to just drop the papers that i finished checking the night before. after that, i met up with my cousins in the mall to check out the new stuff for this season. no, i didn't buy anything. remember what i said about periodic shopping? yeah, im sticking by that! hahahaha!

outfit: pashmina scarf, bootlegger loose tee, joe fresh belt, divi skirt,
payless tights, sm socks, celine pumps

i slept over at their place and basically bonded over homemade strawberry milkshakes and cookies!! yummy!
im answering 5 questions i got from the previous post, since i dont want to make this a long post and bore you! hahaha!

1. what's that one piece in your wardrobe you find yourself going back to over and over and over again?
pretty obvious that i would say it's my AA circle scarf since i really use it everywhere and throughout the whole year. during the winter i use it as a scarf. but in the summer, i try to use it as a cover up in the beach, a skirt/maxi dress, a tie up bag. here at home, i use it a my blanket (like a snuggie, hahaha!). it's one of those pricier things that i do not regret buying! i actually want more in different colors!

2. if you could have any clothing item (from whatever time period, whatever designer, etc), what would it be? and why?
oh wow.. im not very keen with runway trends nor can i afford them. can i just ask for a classic designer bag - say an hermes birkin or a chanel? i know it's not really a 'clothing' item, but if you would notice, i dont own many purses or bags. my reason for this is that i tend to stick with one that i can use forever and that will go with many of my outfits.

3. how do you want ur eggs? Well done or not?
well.. here's the deal. when i eat eggs with 'north american' food, i want them scrambled. when i have filipino food for breakfast, i want them sunny side up (with the yellow part really juicy and slimy! hahahaha!).

4. what do you like to do 5 years from now?
let's see.. im going to be 28 by then (aack, i know too old!). career wise, i hope i'll be in a stable marketing or advertising firm. also, i hope to be married by then and trying to start a family. i really don't want to have kids when im in my thirties (just a personal thing). also, i want to slowly save up so that when i reach mid-30s, i can just establish my own business. pretty vague answer to a vague question. teehee!

5. what are your favorite places to go shopping to?
i love going back home in the philippines and visiting our bargain areas like divisoria & tutuban. i try to do that once a year either by actually flying back or asking my aunts there to buy me stuff. hahaha! here in canada, i enjoy going to joe fresh coz they have affordable stylish pieces. i dont really prefer certain stores when i purchase clothing. if i find something i like and i can afford in the mall, in a small boutique, in a thrift store or online, i buy it.

i will get to the rest in my next posts. if you do have additional questions, feel free to drop by a comment here. :D

q&a time: post your question, lovelies!

as i mentioned in my chictopia post, i am running out of things to write about. the reason for this being that i've been going to the university doing some marketing research stuff and as soon as i get home, i watch the olympics. yes, that has been my routine this week.

today was quite good though. the weather was nicer (-10 degrees and yes that's nice for me already!) and the days are getting longer. i wore something fancier to brighten up my mood and of course, it's friday!!! yay!! :D

outfit: h&m tunic, sirens belt, garage leggings, le chateau

too many animated gifs?! haha, are you getting dizzy yet?!

since i have nothing to blog about, i thought of having this post as an opportunity to get some q&a's with you, my dear readers. if there's anything you might want to ask me, just make a comment in this post and i'll get to them in my succeeding entries.
