Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🙂

I hope everyone had a really good Christmas surrounded by loved ones, presents and lots and lots of food!!

I decided to whip out my trench coat again since it was a bit chilly outside but of course, it was more for aesthetic purposes than it was for functionality. As much as I would love for it to snow in the Philippines, I’m glad it doesn’t. Can you just imagine how many of our homeless brothers and sisters would suffer if we actually did have snow here? #foodforthought

As for my other weapons of choice for the holiday, I’m proud to say that I got away with wearing something a bit revealing without getting my head chopped off by my family and of course, boyfriend. I’ve been dying to try out the whole cropped top trend and I was lucky enough to snap one at Forever 21’s sale. It only cost P269.00 and as compared to the items sold online, this is one made from cotton instead of spandex which is exactly how I like it.

Hope you have a blast! ❤

I really do feel like I’ve been growing up a lot more this year. Contrary to my Doc’s phase (which I do not regret), my wardrobe has slowly been filled up with more feminine pieces whether they be heels or dresses or even flouncy tops I promised as a kid that I would never be caught dead in. (I was a tomboy)

As I’ve gotten older and my lifestyle has changed, I’m really starting to appreciate staple and classic articles of clothing that are good to wear on any occasion and if there is anything piece of clothing (aside from a crisp white polo shirt) that is on my to-go list, it would definitely have to be lace.

There’s just something about it that is so pristine and regal especially if you know how to choose the right kind. And you never have to worry about “losing yourself” with all the femininity because there’s always a way to play it up or down depending on your style.

Need a little boyish “umf”, just throw on that leather jacket of yours and you’re good to go!

Plan to go all out girly? Deck yourself in pearl earrings some sky high heels and you’re set!

For my look, I wanted to be a mix of both by wearing my favorite heels and the leather bib necklace that Justinne got me for my birthday. Leather, lace and heels… sounds just about right!

Yeah… I’m not so grown up, after all.

I was *this* close to not posting these pictures. I wore this outfit on the day of the super typhoon Yolanda since we were bored while waiting for the electricity to come back on and I went out to have dinner with Paolo. I didn’t want to be insensitive about the whole topic but… how else am I supposed to explain why I wore this trench coat without making Yolanda my excuse? #committedblogger

 This is the last you’ll probably see of my trench coat… unless I finally get a passport and take myself somewhere far away, cold and weather appropriate.

Ang init dito, mehn!
