Sweater Weather

It's been really chilly here in the Philippines lately (especially at night) and nope, I ain't complaining. Are you kidding me? This weather is just extremely wonderful! This is a tropical country so we don't get a fair share of coldness, that's why this is such a big deal to us -- or to me, at least. Lol. Wait, someone didn't take away summer and curse us an eternal winter, right?! (Very "Frozen" lang?! lol) Okay, that's soooo over the top. Who am I joking, we don't have winter here and heck it's not snowing. Haha. But hey, the weather right now is a perfect excuse to wear cardigans, sweaters, and beanies without getting skeptical stares and second looks from anyone. I'm totally a sweater/cardigan kind of girl and a sucker for the cutest and comfiest ones, at that. It's pretty much obvious that when I saw this sweater from New Frog, I instantly knew right then and there that I needed to have it. Can you see how striking the print is? It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Completely eye-catching! It's now my most favorite sweater and I've been wearing it nonstop since I got it! (Don't worry, I always have it laundered haha) The dazzling necklace I'm wearing was also from New Frog. I just love all the items on their website! It's literally your one-stop shop for everything you need -- from gadgets to car accessories to home and office equipments to apparels and accessories to beauty and health products.. and even toys! HOW. COOL. IS. THAT. Did I mention that the prices are very affordable, too? You can already buy something for $5 and below! If you can't tell by now how amazing they are, there's gotta be something wrong with you! 

Aaaahhh I could get used to this cold weather!

Starting 2014 With A Knit Slate

Happy New Year, everyone! :) Here's my first outfit post for this year, and it's my first time to channel a preppy outfit cocooned in thick layers of clothing. You see, this is the thickest and closest I'll ever gussy up for that wintry vibe since we don't really have winter here in the Philippines. It's possible to sport this look here during Ber-month nights when the puff of air is quite cold, but I wouldn't dare to wear this outfit on an extremely sunny day, that is if I don't want to feel like being roasted alive. I would be in so much jeopardy if that happens. Lol. Basically, this is my attempt to give you guys an idea on how to doll up using knitted sweater (a really fluffy one at that) and jeggings for a cold season, while I envy the rest of the world for having winter and being able to put on fur and leather without shedding even a slightest bit of sweat! This is the time when teleportation would have come in handy! Nevertheless, it's entirely wrong to kick off the new year green with envy so I'm just imagining how happy you guys are under the snow with those beautiful smiles on your face, hence it seems like I'm also there. :) Again, happy new year! I hope you guys would stay with me! Let's make 2014 our year! *insert fireworks here*
