cakes and karaoke!

last night, i went out again with a couple of my girlfriends for dinner, dessert and late night karaoke! first stop was at dessert sinsations. i ordered grilled tuna taco and share a white chocolate candy cane cheesecake with one of my friends.

my friend got kung pao salad and their homemade caramel latte. as for desserts, the rest ordered a mango cheesecake and the chocolate brownie cheesecake both of which were also so so delicious!

afterwards, we headed to muz, a karaoke place by corydon for some major singing! hahahaha!

I have those tights! I love how you paired them! Bravo!

awesome!! :D it's been awhile since i wore those tights.. they've been hiding in my closet! hahaha! :D gonna try to wear them again soon!

from one party to the next...

after work, i attended a christmas party last night at montana's with some nurse friends.

my battery ran out after dinner just when we headed to ken's place for some karaoke and jello shots. so it's too bad i dont have pictures to share of that! but, i was able to take outfit photos the other day at work...

outfit: joe fresh style sweater, h&m scarf, talula skirt, gojane shoes, ardene tights

LOL snow er'where! cute pics, don't know how you managed taking pics in our weather, so kudos!

hahaha!! snow indeed!! i used to take snow photos all the time last year here in my blog; i'd just take off my coat and give myself a minute or two to set up the timer and be outta there as soon as possible. this year though, it's so rare for me to do that since both before and after work (the only times i can take decent shots), it's dark outside already.

snow snow snow

still continuing with my agony of not being able to take outdoor photos, i braved it awhile ago and decided to get these shots for today. this was after work already so im kind of stressed and tired-looking, teehee!

the snow has pretty much taken over our backyard and for some reason, it's reflecting this blue-ish tint in my camera so i apologize for the photos. not only was it dark already but my camera has poor abilities to capture detail. hahaha!

outfit: vintage coat, gap denim shirt, garage leggings, danielfootwear boots, talula beanie

see what i meant? these photos are epic fail!!

It still okay although you can't do photoshoot outside. Love your tee :)
and, where are you from? What country, if I may know? In my country, there is no winter. *sob
I'd like to see your outdoor photos, plus the snow :)

hi! i live in canada as of the moment, but i also used to live in a tropical country (philippines) and we only had wet and dry season there. i really miss how it is there with the weather. i don't know.. i've never really learned to love the snow here. i even miss it more especially because the holidays are coming! i miss the food, the cool (not chilly-i-can-get-a-frostbite) nights and the fireworks!

failed attempts..

i've been trying to be a good blogger by putting a bit of an effort to take photos of my outfits. however, it's been tough since the winter season has come.. mostly because, it's too dark outside and my indoor shots have been such a fail!

here's my attempt to share with you my outfit today. all of these photos are taken indoors so forgive the bad quality. i just can't seem to find the right camera mode to make the photos clearer.

outfit: tminx cropped top, zara trousers, sirens boots, aa circle scarf, suzy shier jacket

i get so jealous whenever i see other bloggers with nice outdoor shots in the snow. aaaahhh... if i only had the tools and the time to do that, my outfit posts would be so much better, yes?

Sybil! It's been a while. :) Gosh, you're getting lovelier and lovelier! :) I loooove those boots! You're sooo cute :)

oohhh this weather..

well.. this week, the weather forecast has been brutal! it's a good thing that these knee high boots came in right on time in the mail for me to be able to use them out! im quite excited to pair my old clothes and ensembles with this new pair!

outfit: kamiseta tunic, aa leggings, danielfootwear boots, talula beanie

oh.. these photos were taken at the office lunch room before i started my 8am shift. there were no people around, only chairs.. hahaha!

like i mentioned in my past post, i was able to finish my gift wrapping last weekend!! yay for me.. now i can just relax a bit and prep for some parties im scheduled to attend in the next few days. in the meantime, nothing's better than having some soup with this chilly weather!!

wow!!! i'd love it if my room were filled with lots of online purchases *drool* can't wait to see your boots!

there goes my new boots!! finally got time to take photos of them.. i've been wearing them since i got them!! they're super comfy and go with everything!

package haul post!!

this year, i decided to buy most of my christmas gifts online. of course, i just couldn't resist getting some items for myself too! eeepp, bad, i know!! so here goes another haul post.. believe me, i received way too many packages this month that my room was just full of boxes before i started wrapping them. hahaha!

asos boots that i have yet to use (they're suede so i'm scared to step them on snow)

military inspired jacket c/o threadsence

graphic tee c/o outlaw tees that i forwarded to the bf last week

daniel footwear knee high boots (which i have been using all the time).

that's about it! hopefully, i'll take outfit photos next week. this weekend is just too cold (-30 celsius) and im glad i decided to just stay here at home at start wrapping holiday presents!! weeehhh!!!

Oh my gosh, I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet! Oh boy!

ps; You always look so put together. I love this look on you!

aahhh.. last year, i went thru the hassle of last minute shopping so this year, i told myself that i need to get it early either in the malls or thru online stores (ordering them late november). im now happy to say that im half way thru christmas wrapping!! weeeehh!!!

aahhh.. the holidays..

i just finished watching glee!!!! did anyone else catch it? aahhh!!! so many aaawww moments, such a great holiday episode. didn't enjoy all of the songs, but the storyline is really touching.

anyway, a number of you commented on the same sentiments you're having at this time of the year.. too many parties, not enough weekends.. last minute gift shopping and the fact that christmas is coming too soon! i couldn't agree more..

im quite proud to say that im done my shopping and i've saved this weekend for just wrapping my presents! weeehhh!

outfit: clothes swap shirt, f21 trousers, aldo wedges

YES! My weekends are getting nutso. It's upsetting. So busy in fact I barely have time for blogging! I love your dress layered with that tee, you look so cute!

i have been trying my best to update this blog too!! aaahh... busy busy busy.. but i would have to say, good kind of busy.. im able to catch up with family and friends with all the parties going on so i like it. :D

care for some denim?

i've been in my current job for about 3 months now and it's only this time that i've worn jeans! hahaha!! yes, i only own about 2 decent pairs of denim and maybe a couple more that are so worn out that i use them just to run errands around the city.

i'm really not that comfortable with jeans to be honest so if i can wear loose trousers or more often, skirts/dresses, i'd do that everyday. plus, i can't find a good pair that's affordable and has the perfect length for me. it always boils down to me having it cut or having to cuff it like right now with this outfit.

outfit: suzy shier jacket, kismet loose tee, aa circle scarf, forever 21 jeans, gojane oxfords

i decided to even go a bit street and urban with the leather jacket and the tie dye circle scarf i got from chic swap.

oh btw, i went to meet up with one of my girlfriends, Arianne, last weekend. she's off to toronto for a 5-day vacation so i thought it would be nice to hang out in a nearby lounge before she leaves. i got some chicken quesadillas and fried cheesecake!

Lovin' all of your recent finds! I've hardly had any finds lately, but Etsy has a whole bunch of amazing stores... must resist!

ooohh really? haven't checked etsy stores for the longest time! i've been wandering around ebay lately trying to find cheap boots and blouses.. anyone here knows of any good ebay or etsy sites? i would prefer those that carry sizes for curvier girls like me! :D

online wardrobe

oohhh haven't done these kinds of posts in a long time. i've been quite obsessed with online window shopping lately since i'm starting to look into possible gifts for the people in my christmas list. it's been so tempting because even though my main purpose is to find gifts for other people, i end up just filling up my own wishlist. selfish much? hahahaha!

ZARA

VESTIQUE

CHLOE LOVES CHARLIE

what are your great finds lately?
