CRuSH and BUy!

I took the afternoon off for the following:

I just could not wait until Thursday; hence, Tuesdate with my BFF. My JMJ surprised me with some shopping money on Sundate and I've been crushing on this varsity jacket (thanks to Caroline) for a month now and the dress for a week. I'm one happy brat. He also gave me a real sweet Hallmark. Awwww, can life be any sweeter?!=) They aren't designer but if it's Topshop and Mango then I'm lovin' retail!

tsk, there's NO changing who someone is.

My Bff introduced me to this cool new site and so far this really caught my eye. Haha some sense of familiarity. Oh well!

thank God for family and parcels.

Whooppeee look what I got from the parcel! I'm missin' Australia by the minute, Ashfield Mall and walks down the park at Dulwich Hill. Sigh... This, btw, is the yummiest hazelnut spread, better than Nutella in my opinion. The texture is just perfect and the sweetness... too much! Lol! Hello calories! and as how they say it down under, to my cousin, Thanks heaps!

atypical wednesdate.

'capping it off with window shopping at what we want to call our second home, Ayala Center, after grandes at SBX! Yes nothing happened more than window shop, so I guess today is an achievement. Le Bff debuted her maxi dress turned maxi skirt, the most coveted look was inspired by Gwen S. I've worn mine some days ago at work. By the title, I mean it's not the usual day for us girls. We drove off to the Uni (USC-TC) earlier in the day and decided to get lost in... S&R! Lol! Like what do we do there, other than binge on their ginormous yum pizza and unlimited soda! Well, read on below...

on her: MNG sheer top, SM belt, Sunny Side Up maxi, Topshop sandals , and accessories by Jackie O'My. on moi: Maldita sheer top, SM belt, Terranova skinnies, Matthew's for CMG sandals, and Promod sling purse.

Fat choco chip muffin and fudge striped oatmeal cookies...

Haha and hoarding on sugar to fill Le hubb's stash in his room for those movie nights. I spoil him too you know. It's not all about me... sometimes! *winx*

Wednesdate at S&R, 'not that hard to figure out, eh!

Spoiler!

I've been really lazy lately even if I have collated documentations of stuff to blog about. I did not intend to write tonight, 'til my convo with dad over dinner (mum's on vacay off to her hometown)... subject: MY TWIXO's new car! Too bad it fell short on being a surprise now. If only my dad can take it back! Haha! Yes, he blurted it out unintentionally, about my hunkyhubb's new red car which was supposed to be a surprise for my big day next week! Boys do talk alot, somehow! I must admit however; I find it a bit sweet that dad knew it before I did. Yknow what I mean? The two men of my life. Awwww....

Happy Mother's day Mama, Mum, and Mummy!

This year, I had the pleasure of celebrating mother's day to it's fullest. Le hubb's mum was in town and I was just extremely happy to make all three smile with my little-somethins.

for my mum, who's a big coffee addict!

for le hubb's mum, and dearest mummy (his aunt). Emanuel Ungaro's Diva and a pretty gold-plated brooch that I got from Rustan's, respectively. Thank you Mums for all of the the love and support, especially during the toughest times.=) You three helped me alot when hurricane "D" came and gave me one big, fat, reason to hold on. I love you.

Trippin' Thrifty on a Monday!

Downtime on a Monday. Following a workmate's rave about cheap finds at WGC, I thought why not... and voila here are my impulse buys! Pfft!

White AE cami at 249.00 (an overrun) and the Brown knitted vest at 349.00.

Teal summer scarf only at 99.00!
and my favorite find of all, a black straw cowboy hat for 79.00! Now I'm a happy camper!

the cheap challenge

Void of any stereotypical implications; my wardrobe is pretty safe. If you do an audit, my closet is composed mostly of babies from Topshop, MNG, and Promod. My other faves would have to be my Zara blazer, DVF sheer top, and H&M cropped jacket which I got as gifts from AU and CH. Yes, I have been called fussy about my clothes, but really that is just measly the reason why I go for those brands... convenience. I shop alot, I do, but more often than not, I am lazy, thus my penchant for buying clothes from those shops located on the ground floor. Just before the holy week, a mentor from work challenged me to find something cheap and nice at WGC! WGC, synonymous to grocery! I thought I'd be left empty handed; however, just half an hour and the task was easy peasy! Here is my bohemian-chic flowy top that I got for 449.00Php! Not only did I win G.Go's challenge, I also won a pretty hot top for myself!=)

Sheer top: Promod Braided belt: SM Shorts: Lost (from Chains) Sandals: Diana Ferrari

Again, I have deviated from my allegiance to 'non-trends, stick to classy' style. I did not have the slightest as to what to wear for Sundate; hence, colorblock. It wasn't so bad afterall. How about you, are you bold enough to try it? Le debut to color blocking, I guess I will try to work it again in the coming days.

ah, summer.

A peek at our summerscape this year...

However, just after two days of sporting 'em tan lines and 'almost tanned' skin; I'm back to being pale. Pfft!
