one ihop day

Chilled with my girls yesterday. Thanks, Pet and Jak... and Gio ;p ! As usual, had another sisterhood-of-the-traveling-pants moment! Haha Where better city-spot to chillax but at the ever expanding landscapes of BGC (Bonifacio Global City, Taguig). Well, aside from one of our girlfriends residing in the area, the place has been our constant go-to when we're such couch potatoes to think out-of-the-box. Yeah, one of them days! Haha So, we were drawn to IHop! All our 1st times since it recently opened. Some hearsay circulating on how the place didn't live up to what it offered in the states. Regardless, I still wanted to put my two cents in, and dragged my best gals along! Much to our surprise, we enjoyed it! I heart their cinnamon pancake! And butter pecan syrup! And those french toasts! Yum! The place was packed (as anticipated), but we skidded past the long queue even before our waiting seats warmed up. Service was splendid, didn't take long much, or probably we didn't notice because we were immersed in girl talk!?! Serving portions, more than average. Their meals 'felt' heavy! Haha So, there, our IHop experience. Oh, btw, here's what I wore! Haha (Sorry, this wasn't 'really'  an IHop brief, just got carried away! Or not?..)   

Was in the mood for laidback, it was a Thursday afternoon after all (too many 'afters'). I'm feeling the love of maxi skirts this season. The weather may be parched, but the softness and easiness of long skirts especially when you feel the fabric easily grazing your gams as you skid thru your day, is sartorial comfort. But instead of hoarding these seasonal pieces, I converted 1 of my maxi dresses to a skirt by pairing it over with this breezy tank and tying a knot for that instant shape-shifter (hmm, just dunno if I succeeded on that shape-shifter thing ;p) :) Knots are fun alternatives to donning a belt! Try this maxi dress with any fashion tops- your wardrobe and a pinch of creativity is the limit! Lemme know how it goes!  

Last, but not the least, thanks to Dra. Jackie for these fab photos! Well, wouldn't you know? Your future isn't on those chaotic charts and overly discerning medical chiefs (Peace :) I don't think anyone reads, anyways. Wink! Wink!)! Call me, maybe?! Love, love!

Braids, sheers, embros

The moment I saw Valentino SS 2012 last year, I've been silently wishing to try those romantic crown braids. Just been hanging around for the perfect occasion. Attempted these braids for a summer ad with the brand I was working for back then. Haha Here I am in a white sheer dress with braided locks for a good friend's wedding at Shangrila, Boracay. The lightness and airiness of the dress spelled beach wedding. Thanks to Bangz, who dropped by our hotel to give me a hand. After Bangz effortlessly maneuvered my braids, I tied my loose strands into a no-fuss low bun. Braids, polka dot sheer, not to mention-- white, puzzled in together the quintessential romantic look I was trying to aim for. Stepped into comfy wedge shoes. Wedge shoes are my most trusted armor in parties along shores. We don't want to sink our stilletos into those loose sands. Either wedges or dear slippers, any footwear with full soles. Whala! Capped off with red lips for a tinge of drama-- nah, just really wanted to work some color to this nearly white canvass :p

Delicate embroidery with keyhole chest

Forever 21- fringe earrings (I like to call them robot earrings :p Am I the only one who sees the semblance?!)

Sharing photos of my favorite part of the wedding! Raiding the snack bar!

Snack Bar in scrabble-inspired print. As if we'd miss those candies with all them colors and saccharine glory!

Y- ayo

F- aye

Orange Swits! Nostalgic of good 'ol days.  

Happy newly- couple! Yayo & Faye! By far, best wedding of the year! Love you, guys! 

Going back to some shots of my dress for the event. Haha

New fashion finds! Couldn't help myself when I saw this houndstooth peplum top while window shopping with my best girls. Houndstooth exude a christmas-y feel for me. Dunno why. Probably because of the christmas toy soldiers clad in this print? Whatever it is, this print has entered the fashion stratosphere a few months back, as far as the local scene. Worldwide, the print hailed it's presence a few 'seasons' back. The combination of peplum and novel print did it for me! And it was also on retail below a thousand bucks, so who couldn't resist?! 3 birds in 1 stone!  This print also came in a blazer (which my best gal took) for those who want to take it to a less frill spin. 

Here, enjoying my houndstooth with some black and yellow, LV ss 2013 inspired. Eye candy clear totes are back and are staying for the summer haul!

SM Dept Store- clear tote

Earl Gariando- earrings

F21- belt

i am meg s1 (part 3: perfect red dress)

I Am Meg girls who made it to the final 5: Julz, Elai, Sarah, Michelle, and Winnie (not necessarily arranged in order). For the finale shoot, each of the girls donned exact styling from the dress down to accessories. This further pushed our top 5 to bring out their individuality and outshine each other. Who do you think rocked this Renee Salud divine creation better than the rest?
