giving in to temptation..

today i met up with arianne downtown after her work. she went to shopper's drugmart to get her stash of cosmetics while i ended up going around some stores.. and guess what happened?

ok ok.. let me explain.. urban planet had this massive sale! the blazer was only $5! how can you say no to that?!! and the mint nail polish was only $1. so yeah, i gave in to temptation. don't worry i have good news for you too. that is, i also got some stuff for the upcoming giveaway!! woot! but i'll save that for another post.

so anyway, we rode the bus and went to osbourne for some nachos, window shopping and starbucks ice blended tea! some girly bonding time for us! :D

oh and yay for an outfit post, i know i owe you one! got this top from Jasmine through our little clothes swap. i know you've seen these shorts a number of times, but it's impossible for me not to match it with this striped number. nautical look for the win!

outfit: forever 21 top & bag, joe fresh shorts, keds sneakers

my fave pancit is pancit palabok. i can eat a small bilao all by myself! hahaha. takaw that's me! :)

thanks for the sweet comment you always leave in my blog. i'm a size 5.5 or 6. do we have the same size?

i'm actually a size 7, too bad we can't share shoes (hahaha, as if that's even possible!). speaking of shoes, i was window shopping awhile ago and i discovered this boutique that sold Jeffrey Campbell shoes!!!! aaaaaaaaahhh!!!! they actually have the Mary Roks wedges that i've been lusting for in black. the salesperson told me that they might order the beige ones so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. can i just mention how i was such a complete dork going giddy as i tried the display JC Mary Roks in the store (it was my first time to actually try a JC pair). i'm a very shallow human being, i know. hahahaha!

something new

i just finished posting my outfit pictures in chictopia and i mentioned there of how i've been in such a fashion rut lately. i don't want to bore you with those things so let me just share what i wore today.

outfit: sm jacket, people are people shirt, divi skirt, garage leggings

basically went to the mall today to pick up some stuff in sephora. also the gap is having some sweaters on sale (below $10), so if you're living in a cold place like i am, now is the best time to go! :D

oohh.. and remember what i said about redoing my nails from the last post? well, here they are right now!!!

how to get polka dots? just use a toothpick to make 'em!

on other news.. apple launch it's newest gadget yet! i know some of you have seen or heard it on the news so without further ado....




i dont really care much about my gadgets. i don't take sides when it comes to the windows-mac battle, but this actually looks good. i know of a couple of people who has clearly bashed this new thing, but i think it's quite amazing. love the fact that it's compact and has a big screen. but i must say that it's quite pricey. still, i have to applaud apple for impeccable design and marketing strategies! more info here.

what do you think?

the sunny day

so as i mentioned in my previous post, the weather was amazing today! let me give you the bad news first (since the rest of my entry will be good anyways). i totally forgot to take pictures outdoors with the glorious sun on my face! darn darn darn, i know! but i tried to still take a photo of my outfit regardless..

outfit: forever21 coat, juana dress, ardene tights, joe fresh flats

this is how small i am!
it's like im alice in wonderland and everything is much bigger than me!

today, the bf and i planned to give away resumes to establishments around the city that we were hoping to work for. nothing great really... more of, we just needed something to keep us afloat with things since both of us are fresh grads. the job postings here in the city haven't been supportive of our fields nor our current experiences and employment history so right now, what we're really opting for is just something to keep us from being idle.

we had lunch at the mall and also dropped by kawaii crepe to try their sweet crepes for dessert.

lasagna! yum!

crepes for dessert

fruitella: nutella & banana

apples gone wild: caramelized apples

i had to drop by american apparel to see what's new in the store and can i just say that i saw their nail lacquer in the flesh and fell totally in love. the bf wanted to get me 3 bottles since they had that 3 for $18 deal but i resisted the offer since i know that (1) we're both unemployed and i dont want him spending money for me on things like that and (2) the nail polish can wait. im not gonna die or anything if i dont get them right away. i will though at some other time. hahaha!

top to bottom: peacock, office, manila

after that, we went around the city while the sun was still out. we didn't really want to waste the day just by going straight home. i stayed a bit at their place watching tfc (the filipino channel) and the new season of american idol.

i went home with a new pair of trousers, harem ones to be exact. a friend of mine recently purchased them online from forever21 and they got the size mixed up so she just sent them over to me. she even attached a note saying that it would be her holiday gift for me. such a sweetheart! i don't know if she'll be reading this, but thank you, dear!!!!

so what do you think of harem pants?

are they in or out for you this coming spring?
should i just transform them into bubble shorts?

lazy day

as promised, i want to share what i got myself yesterday. i was supposed to blog about it last night but i was too tired to type another entry here. hahahaha!

im into nail polish right now and from going around sephora yesterday, i ended up grabbing a hot pink nail polish from their own sephora line. it's quite pricey for a small bottle ($6), but i kid you not when i say that it applies very well.
these are my nails without any base and nail protector polish. yes, this is just one layer of that pink one right there. it applies evenly and im quite happy because im not a nail polish expert and i tend to have excess polish all over my fingers but the brush really gives you an easy way of applying it. it dries up so fast too! after doing my whole right hand, i went to my left one after say 3 minutes, and it was good to go.
after doing my nails, the bf picked me up. we dropped by the mall one hour before its closing and basically just headed to a couple of stores to look for a gift for his cousin. im attending his cousin's debut tomorrow night with him.

this is my lazy day mall outfit. i mean really, how lazy can i get!? hahaha! the second picture is me trying to go back inside the house since it was freezing outside! my hands were starting to get numb! hahaha!

outfit: joe fresh top, garage leggings, pashmina scarf, le chateau boots

hurry up! say hello to my forehead!
