Let's go to the beach!

Because the summer season here in the Philippines is scorching hot, I decided to visit the beach to cool myself off! 

Oh! That lovely smell of fresh air! <3

Wearing:

Chiffon Top - Thrifted

Denim Shorts - Bazaar Find

Bikini - What A Girl Wants

Fringe Sandals - GM Footwear

Orange and Blues

Finally! A visit to the beach this summer! 

They say, the color Orange is the perfect color to be paired with the color Blue so I tried wearing such to the beach so see if it's true. When I looked at the photos, they really are correct! :)

The summer season here in the Philippines is scorching hot! Sometimes I forgot to smile on the photos because of the very hot weather! haha!

Would you believe that I only bought this pair of fringe sandals for only 105 pesos (2.5 USD)? Such a good find! :)

So I end this post with a "power hug"! x

Maximizing Happiness

Hype my look on lookbook:

 Maxi Dress - Thrifted; Bikini (worn under) - What A Girl Wants; Flip Flops - Ipanema


I wore this dress during one of my beach visits at the beautiful island of Panglao. The maxi dress' color itself truly match the summer seas and the summer skies. 

Hello Panglao Island Part 1

Hype my look on lookbook:

Panglao Island lies on the southernmost part of the Bohol province (Philippines) connected by two bridges to Tagbilaran City (mainland Bohol) which is the capital of Bohol. This island is my mother's hometown. I used to go here every August when the town is celebrating it's annual fiesta. The island is home to beautiful beaches and amazing dive sites. Lots of foreign and local tourists come here to have their vacation. 

I stayed at my Aunt's house for 4 days, visited the beautiful beaches, swam the sky blue sea, looked for beautiful starfishes and collected some seashells. (I will post soon a Panglao Photo Diary)

"Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make it happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see it - not because you think someone else wants you to be different."

Tangerine Blues

Kindly hype this look on lookbook:

As I looked at a photo of a model wearing a tangerine dress with my favorite color blue on the background, I observed that the two colors looked oh-so-good together! I told to my self that I should post a look inspired from the photo. So here it goes!

I used this asymmetrical tangerine dress as my top. This dress was given to me by my mother. My mother bought the dress for the graduation exercises of the school she's handling but unfortunately, the dress does not fit her well, so the dress went to my hands instead! haha :) 

I paired the tangerine top (dress) with this pair of denim shorts that I bought at a "tiangge" at Colon (downtown Cebu) area. 

Since I'm a bit chubby, I'm wearing this 5 inch something white strapped-wedge from Payless. Wearing "sky high wedges makes you look not just taller but slimmer too! Now, I'm starting to buy good shoes. I wanna have a collection of good, good, good, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and durable shoes - yeah, I must admit, I'm such a shoelady, shoe-addict, shoe-lover, and many more descriptions about shoe obsession with standards of course. I buy a pair of shoes, not only because of its awesome style and design but also because of its quality and durability! :) Quality versus Quantity? QUALITY! 

Back to the photo, I'm glad that I finally have this photo inspired from a photo of a magazine, tangerines and blues being paired on a photo.
