Powder Sands

Ahh the cool breeze, the literally powder sand, the clear waters. Bantayan Island is such a piece of heaven. On our second day at the Island i really didnt bother if i go dark. The water was just glorious.

If id rate all the beaches ive been too. Bantayan really tops the list.

So on our second day at the beach i finally got to use my sailor swimmies from Shopeteer. Its highwaist so it hides all the bulges i pigged out from yesterday. Plus the color scheme of my swimsuit really matches the whole setting. Die Hard Summer Girl here! So happy with this nautical number!

Im not really the type of girl who can walk around in bikini's alone. So i always make it to a point to bring a cover up or a skirt.And for this trip, i packed my SM GTW wrap skirt. Its so perfect because i havent tried bringing a maxi to the beach.  And it worked. So for all girls out there who are conservative. Dont pack light!

Travel Chic!

Romp it up

Summer classes are about to end. And summer is about to end as well. And this is my 2nd time to hit the beach. I feel so awful really but i know it'll be worth it because next summer i'll be classes free. Forever actually. Haha fingers crossed. In god's will.

My boyfriend and i needed some R & R even if it was just a day, just a day to get away from all the stress this city gives us. Aside from the fact that it was the weekend before election, we just wanna get away from everything. And since we are from the queen city, a 20-40min of travel time and you'll get sandy feet. And ocean breeze.

What i wore:

I wore this yellow romper i have for quite some time now. I was just wasnt able to make use because when i got these i wasnt my skinny self. Haha and this yellow in its yummy pastel is just so perfect for summer dont you think?

One of my favorite clothing during summer is cover ups. I love how they're so laid back and breezy.

I got this cover up @ Camisa while it was on sale and this was the first time i really used it. I thought i could make something out of it. Like wear it casually but im still trying to figure out how. Haha

This bow bikini top would be absolutely adorable if it has its pair which is a long story. But anyway, bikini's are also evolving that you can also mix em and match em right?

We had our R&R at the newly opened resort in Cordova Cebu. Best Western Sand Bar Resort. I couldnt really say the place was amazing. But it was good. 

Though they are still developing the place. And dont expect a real sand bar though haha their adult pool is only 3ft or 4ft deep if im not mistaken. But despite all this. it was worth it :)

December AcquisitionsPart Two

Most probably everyone has a lot of acquisitions last month, and since this is my part two, its not very lengthy, i stayed away from malls after i shopped like crazy on December 1. See here.

But the first batch im gonna show you is not really NEW acquisitions, its more like a piece of trash before and i recycled. Haha while looking at a big box inside our room, i noticed that the box holds ALL of the clothes i had thrown away, gave away since i was 17, and now im 22 already, i cant figure out why the box is still there up until now. The box was supposed to be donated for typhoon/flood victims, my sister and i were bored so we sort out all the clothes inside and BOOM! we found ourselves waaayyy stupid for throwing out clothes we thought we didnt need! Its like finding out treasures of our own. The feeling was priceless! hahah

 A paisley top in its brightest lavender. What in the world was i thinking?

 TWEED JACKET! BEST FINDS OF ALL! I got this tweed jacket for the love of Gossip Girl, and figured i wont get the chance to use this, thank god its still in that box! (because tweed is making a comeback)

 A floral teeee

 A cute maxi dress! So summery with two slits on both sides! Im such a kid way back yes?

 A cute top. its a staple top!

So much for that, next batch is the new acquisitions. Please note that i did not put the gifts i received this christmas to avoid a lengthy post! hehe

 The giraffe pants from SM GTW, in its last size for me, and the last stock, plus a slash of 50% off! Though they also have the last size for Medium which my sister got! haha funny how we got identical stuffs but different colors and design for our presents this christmas, so we took the inspiration and we both got a super identical pants for us! Twins ang peg, kaso she's 14 and im 22. Haha but we are the best of friends! <3

 Next is, a fedora hat! In emerald green! Also 50% off! One of our wishlist for christmas is to get a matching fedora (not my sister but me and the boyfriend) he's been very supportive of my fashion choices, style and he always have the best compliments(biased eh), he always have a say on the things i buy, that sometimes i find it hard to shop alone! hahaha And whenever i get to the hat section he always tries on some fedora and amuse me into thinking he looks like Jason Mraz, seriously?? haha but , my boyfriend is the laid back type of person but since i told him he looks good in a fedora which he does, but not like Jason Mraz(haha), so we agreed! Finally, a one big check for this! :)

 A bodycon sparkly knit sweater dres, this dress was like an answer to a prayer, because while looking at the racks of F21, clothes after clothes, i was yapping about how i am not getting more stuffs THAT DAY and that im just gonna look and window shop, and i said the BUT word, like BUT if there's anything i'd really3 like maybe im getting it, and i was holding this piece and it was love at first sight! And when i went to the fitting room! It was true love hahah and my sister was right hahah

 And because sister is addicted to sweaters, i got myself one! hahahah which led me asking myself why i bought it days after i bought it haha

I also got these low heeled pointees. I love them since i can remember, i think pointed shoes were my first love, i remember having them in my highschool days, 3 pairs i think and then fell inlove with peeptoe and the list goes on.

And for some last minute shopping, since we OPENED December with F21 purchases, my sister and i CAPPED off December with F21 purchases. haha i wish they'd have more sales like that. We got this on NYE, like the malls were closed na and we were the last person in the fitting room and the lights were closed na and we were at the cashier and the gates were only half open! ahaha

Stocking up some tanktops in preparation for Summer!

And more tops! Because i NEED them. Like literally. Haha i rarely buy tops.

 and more bandeau's since the number of oversized armhole tanks i have is growing :)

Its a wrap!
 

BTW, F21 just had their sale AGAIN, the 50+50 markdown. Markdown prices are slashed to 50%!

So that explains the F21 buys! This month i am a Forever21 shopper! Teehee

We opened December in this.

and capped it off in this :)

Wish you all had a lovely holidays despite the global economic crisis! 

Lots of Love

 Recently, just this Christmas break, i discovered a small but neat coffee shop just near my place, it was one afternoon where the boyfriend and i decided to check it out. The place is called Amare. This is the mini bar-ish for their coffee.

 Books to read. Take note that even though the place is quite small the interior design is impeccable. I would really love this in my room! haha but my closet is taking all the space. And i dont have the collections as well. Better start stocking up some good books and favorite ones too. Though speaking of, ive had a few collection, the one i randomly buy @ BookSale for as low as 20-80Pesos. Theyre a good read for a very cheap price :)

 Since i was on grocery duties also that day, i put on some cropped top which ive been collecting (oddly) because i swore i never looked good on them. Haha and took this snakeskin shorts for a spin, ive missed this shorts terribly.

 The place was so cozy but we ended up staying outside because we love people watching.
