clothing choices:2

For my second clothing choice in this blog, i've decided to feature this piece of crop top since they are very popular these days and I got this just recently for just 200php and not at online shops who sell it for 350 which is kinda overpriced for a simple crop top.


They also had a black one with the same sunflowers all over but I already have that same fabric on a dress so I just opted for this navy blue one. Another print that they had were small daisies printed all over the top as well and I would've bought that one but the daisies were smaller and weren't that appealing at all. 


The fabric isn't all that thick as you can see but you can still wear it as it is... This top is so ready for the spring time(aka. summer time, since we only have 2 seasons in the PH :(!! but nonetheless i can't wait to wear this with my light washed high waisted jeggings, which i think will make me look taller than i really am!

clothing choices: 1

I will be doing this clothing choices from now on just to have a short post from time to time about the clothing deals and what I have bought recently. :)

Hope it will help some of you searching for great deals!

My post today will be a little late because this sale happened sometime ago. This was when Topshop did their buy 1 get 1 sale along with forever 21 and I was so stoked because as i remember they never did this before! I was suppose to buy a shoe and a velvet shorts when I was in Shangrila but then the shoes' color weren't for me. We then went to SM Aura that night and I found something else!

I found this plaid dress! It was the last piece there was and so I was not letting it go! it's a size 10 but I thought I will just put a belt on the waist or just leave it as a smock dress. It was 50% off pricing at Php1300+ which was a little pricey still for me but it was in with the trend right now and I've been into dresses now. Plus the color is a little different that the usual red plaid that we see.

It's hem is also hi-low which is kind of weird for me but I made it work so we're good with that. 

btw the take one that we got was for my brother, he got an acid washed denim pants which was a great deal because it was only Php800+!

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!

Doing good in school can be rewarding!

Some of you may know I'm studying in DLS-CSB with the course of Fashion Design and Merchandising! I transfered from UST just because the course I got there just isn't for me at all! and I'm just not used to the surroundings there and the people. During my stay in CSB... Im on my 4th term already as i remember correctly. and so far I got to be a deans lister for 2 terms! It feels very rewarding after all your hard work paid off! It was frustrating at first just because people think when you're in CSB you have to be a DL automatically cause its easy to study there. But it really isn't that easy. You still have to really study to get the grade you want. People also think that CSB's students are dumb, They are not. Some of them just isn't focused on studying just yet, but they come around eventually. They have really talented students there that are very good in their respective fields.

For the first term that I had there, I was almost a DL but because of 1 subject that I got a 2.0 I didn't meet the requirements to be a DL... :( the second term, I got mostly 2.5's and so my average this time didn't make the cut. But for the third term since I'm starting on design foundation subjects! I made it through!!! I got exactly a 3.0 average for the term and i was so happy!

here's my grades breakdown:

And finally the recent term that I had, it was a good term taking up my final design foundation subjects and will be off to my majors next term! I got an average of 3.25 this term and was happy!! This term was very stressful because of all the requirements needed but i got through it!



It keeps me motivated to study harder seeing these kinds of results and I think that most people also would be. It isn't about doing it for other people but for yourself as well. Learning is really fun especially when you love what you're learning and what I'm learning here, some Im not really fond of like photoshop and video editing, drawing and stuff but at the end of the term I have learned to love it and also did a good job with it! As my profs point out that I have the talent for art. So I think we should just give everything a chance and also give ourselves a chance to excel! 

Goodluck to everyone for the next term! especially to me! I get to take 4th year classes which is scaring the crap out of me because Im still a sophomore. :/

My Christmas Wishlist!

Christmas is literally just around the corner and I'm so excited for the gifts I'll be receiving! I'm not quite the food person so it doesn't excite me as much to eat some lechon and stuff this holiday season.
As I'm getting older... There has been a decline in gifts that I have been receiving which SUCKS! But none the less, I still make sure I get the things that I've been eyeing on this Christmas season! may it be from myself or my family! I've created this Christmas Wishlist just so I would know what I've been wanting and what I've been getting already! :) I hope you could find some interesting stuff too!

The first one that I've been wanting since the first time i passed by it is a little bit of a splurge but I WILL get my hands on these soon!!! so it's the Kate Spade 2 Park Avenue small Beau Bag!


From Topshop: I'd like the following:

JONI JEANS in this light blue color.

Disco Pants in black, I already have a blue one but it's soooo hard to wear... :( 

My Little Pony Cheeky Pants (which i already have)

LUSH Body wash in Snow Fairy  (this was a gift from my sister) I love the bubblegum scent of it just like Lush's Snow Fairy magic wand!


Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh  ( Since I already have the Daisy Eau de Toilette I want to have another one! )

Marc Jacobs Honey Eau De Parfum 1.0 oz




Pacsun Sunflower Dress (which i already got myself, but it's not really from Pacsun because we don't have that here in our country... I just got mine at an online store at a very good price and quality)
A small bag that i can use in school when I got nothing to bring really.... (because we draw/paint on sketchpads and canvasses not read books and write on notebooks) 
Aaaand I got this one from Terranova because they were having a sale!!! It's such a cool bag just because It says HI on the front and BYE on the back! 

Jeffery Campbells Litas I got this already but mine's from wholesale7.net (which is an online store from China) so it's a knock off but it was such a great deal!!! 



Cable Knit Sweater in White ( i found some in Terranova and they were on sale! the branch in Robinsons Manila has a wide selection)

Plaid Pants that I found in ZARA kids (they can fit adults with the size 13-14)


IPhone (I dont care if its a 4s, 5s or 5c)


CÉLINE Black Leather Luggage Tote Bag (small) 

A knock off will do since I don't think I'll use it all the time...





FINALLY a 2014 planner! (i'm in the hunt of a cute new planner that i can use for the next year!)


I think that would be enough for this year!! :) and i really do hope to get all of these till early next year... aside from the Kate Spade Bag... I'll probably be waiting for 2 more years, just because I dont want to spend my own money for it... :( I don't think they'll still have it by then. how sad..
