Colors Follow The Change Of Emotions

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of distressing and heartbreaking events concerning my personal life. I had been dealing with a loss before my midterm exam week came to pass. To say I had the longest and craziest (and I meant that in the worst possible way) two weeks of my life to date would be an utter understatement. My subconscious mind haven't been really that functional, too. But then again, as cliché as it sounds, there's always a rainbow after the rain. In situations like this, you only have two options: either drown yourself in deep sadness and refuse to move forward, or look on the brighter side of life and keep going. The moment I threw on this look, I knew I chose the latter. What I like more is that, even though this is such a lazy outfit at its best, it still screams for happiness -- and what is happiness? It is a habit of looking in the brighter side of everything.

P.S. Because I haven't posted in a while, expect more blog posts in the coming days. Xo

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!

Sporty Vibe

On my previous blog post, I was ranting about how we're still experiencing dire sunny days on a rainy season here in the Philippines. Last week, our country had gone through a rough time as we face yet another calamity.

Tropical storm 'Maring' hit the Philippines and left a huge havoc in every Filipino's home. Flooded and wrecked houses, schools, establishments, streets - which, by the way, seemed like a newly formed ocean! It was indeed quite devastating. Never in my entire life would I want to witness that kind of catastrophe again. I felt guilty about raving last time. I guess it's true what they say, "Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it". I sure did get mine.. the tough way. Lol.

Since cuddle weather is finally here, it's time to bring out 'em sweaters and pullovers! If you don't know yet, I'm such a sucker for these stuffs. I own a lot but hardly wear them because I live in a tropical country.*sniffs* That's why I love the rainy season so much (not the stormy season just to be clear lol)! Though it's already rainy here, it's still not that cold. I suppose I need to hide the thicker ones for now and save them for the Ber months. Don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about the really thick type of clothing usually worn during winter because sadly, we don't have winter here. *sniffs sniffs*

If you still haven't realized (which I'm sure you did lol), I'm wearing a pair of jeans again. I told you guys how much I love wearing jeans! It was a totally lazy day when these photos were taken, therefore, I went for the sporty and unfussy get up. Black top and jeans, such a gloomy mix, right? That's why this cute sweater from Fancy Bumblebee saved the day! The pop of color turned one dark outfit to a bright one! Not to mention the happy vibe these Coach sneakers brought to the whole outfit! Even though this pair of shoes is one size bigger than mine (American size, that is), I still felt comfortable in it! I've never been this sporty! Lol! What do you think?

I love how my accessories added a bit of edge to my sporty look!
