Alexa Chung IT-review

I've always been a fan of fashion coffee table books just because they are light reads. They have interesting pictures that are personal to the writers and for me that's how you really know a person and what they're about. Alexa Chung's book is one of them. It became popular in tumblr posts and that's how i found out about it. I also thought that it was a new release early this year and that it wasn't available in my country yet... but as I frequently see posts of it in the web, I became more and more interested in buying one for myself for inspiration. I went to Fully Booked in greenhills because they have the best service there for me and it's near our house. I asked for the book and it was sold out. -.- so I just reserved one just in case it will be back soon! after a week we again went to greenhills and it's there!! my reserved copy has finally arrived! I was stoked! it was 1044php at fully booked! I don't know how much it will be in other bookstores but National Bookstore doesn't have it yet from the time I asked.

I want to share a little about the book and how it was...

the book itself is hardbound which is pretty obvious and also the cover is like this fabric material and it gets dirty easily so better keep it in plastic.It's also pretty big from what I've imagined it to be and thicker.


I also loved the graphics inside and how colorful everything is. 


Also there would be pictures and drawings from Alexa telling a story about her life and the things she went through.

Overall It as a very interesting book if you're a fan of her because I finished the book in one seating. I suggest you grab a copy or reserve a copy because they're selling out fast!

We all need our staple pants!

It's been quite a while since my last post but this will be a short one just because I'm really happy about this purchase of jeggings! so here it goes!!

I have been wearing pants since forever, but just lately did I found out that they don't really fit me. Nothing fitted me well in the pants section, either they didn't fit my thighs, or they did not fit my waist or butt. So when jeggings came out, they were my life saviors! I never bought pants anymore after that...  never looked back.

I now currently have 7 black jeggings,1 yellow, 1 "reddish", 2 blue and a white! and I have been wanting some light denim ones! and I recently spotted this denim light wash jeggings and I was so thrilled! I just found a similar wash of this in Topshop and Uniqlo but the topshop ones were crazy expensive and the uniqlo ones didn't have a small already, so I just picked these ones up! What I love about them is that they are so skinny till the bottom! and it fits perfectly. What's better is that they offer it in other sizes and not a one size fits all kind of thing. It has a really thick denim feel to it and was so simple and plain that i loved! The price is also very reasonable even cheaper than uniqlo...

here it is!
