skirts I wish I had.

I just gravitate on you.

So this is a random fashion/shopping post. Just a few random things that I tried on over the past few weeks. Enjoy the randomness! Haha. But it's fashion-filled anyway. 

Patterned mini-skirt from Topshop

 Friends! <3 Went on a short shopping trip with them during our grad rehearsal week. :)

Patterned leggings. Woo. 

 Shopping trip with Kath. Our guy friends who were with us this time picked out those insane outfits. We look like we were taken back thirty years. Or more. HAHA.

I really liked this shirt. Too bad I couldn't get it huhuh

Light peach pleated dress from Forever21, SM Megamall

Fortunately, I got this dress! I believe it is a very important staple, because of the simple style and the easy-to-pair-with color. You can match almost any color with this, and it is so easy to make a whole bunch of different outfits by accessorizing this dress. So amazing.

British flag knit crop top from Forever21, SM Megamall

Loose light brown tee from Forever21, SM Megamall

Almost got this dress. Story is, I got light-wash distressed denim shorts and a pale lavender one-sleeve dress (which I will feature later on) during this shopping trip. I thought it had already reached my budget. When really, the lavender dress was on sale--half the price. So, I had a chance to get this top. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to go back to it because I was rushing to catch a movie that day with friends. :( Oh well, I can get something close to this elsewhere. :)

blue floral dress from Just G, SM Megamall

I AM IN LOVE WITH THE DRESS. No kidding. I love it so so so much. The floral print is absolutely amazing. And I love how the cotton upper top makes the dress feel and look more casual and more comfortable as well. My only pet peeve: IT'S TOO SHORT. :( It actually doesn't look super short in the picture, but it is WAAY short. Like, just a little bend and hello! Not good. :( But still, the dress is amazing. <3

White tie-waist vest from People Are People, SM Megamall

I'd love to have this vest for summer. It is so summery! Haha. I love how comfortable it is, and how cool it is, and how I can wear it with almost anything. :)

Purple glitter nail polish from Caronia, Rose nail polish from Sassy, both from Watson's, SM Megamall

That's pretty much it. HAHA. The next post will not be this disorganized and random, I swear. Sorry! About the random posts and not being able to keep this blog alive more often. </3 Summer has actually been busy! But the good kind. :)
Will post again later tonight, promise!

just try, just try a little harder.

I know I haven't posted in a while. These past two weeks have been absolutely crazy. Like, I'm actually surprised I haven't gotten sick yet. (I'm about too, though.)

I was never able to blog about my most recent shopping trip, so here goes.

Dark military green button skirt @ Cache Cache, Robinsons Galleria

I absolutely loved the fit of this skirt. Although the hook was destroyed, so I couldn't wear it properly, but nevertheless, it was a good one. The length was nice too. It reminds me of the navy blue skirt I have from Forever21, except this one is a softer kind of material. 

Brown speckled skirt with dark brown ribboned belt @ Cache Cache, Robinsons Gallery

This skirt was a little harder to put on because there's no opening. I mean like, there's no button or zipper, just the top, so it's a little hard. But it makes an outfit look so classy. I mean, I was actually just wearing a class T-shirt with it and it made it look so much better! Haha. 

I didn't get them, obviously. I mean, my shopping trips never really mean I buy anything lol

Another post coming early this week! 

save me from myself, you can.

Sorry, it's been so long!
I hate school for keeping me busy kaljsdkfsdskjf

Anywaaaaaaay.
I went on (yet again) another shopping trip last week! And this time, I actually bought something!!

*I just want to clarify that I don't buy everything I try on in my shopping trips. All the clothes I feature I simply try on. In fact, chances are of me actually buying something will probably be 30% or so. Haha.

Creme and brown long-sleeve knit top @ Forever21, SM Megamall ;; P1,175

I don't remember if that was the price, but it was around that number, I guess. 

YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW HOW IN LOVE I AM WITH THIS TOP. I swear. I was thiiiiis close to getting it. But I didn't bring the right "play" of money. I had enough, but for some reason, something just told me that something that expensive wasn't right to get at the moment. Although this was on my list (and I'm thinking of letting the rents get it for me instead bahaha). 

I love it so so so much. It is so soft, so comfortable, so chic, so everything. Ugh.

Loose grey long-sleeve top @ Forever21, SM Megamall

This top was really comfortable too! And I barely have anything grey, so that's a piece to remember on my shopping list. Although the cut is horrible. For me, anyway. There are days when I really don't want to show my thighs because to me they're quite big, so I like my tops long and loose without looking drabby or weighed on me.

Me and my good friend, Karyn, in Forever21. We went on a Friday, `cause we had no school. And daym, it is the best. There was barely any people. (And when I say barely in Forever, I mean, there are still a number of people, but really really small compared to their regular amount of customers.) The dressing rooms were nearly empty so we decided to take our time and goof-off a little. Haha. 

Mint green tank with lace detail (back) @ Forever21, SM Megamall

This was a really cool tank. I liked it mostly for the back. Haha! Although I wasn't wearing a tank top under, so I'll just show you a small preview: 

Haha. Sorry for that. Anyway. 

Brown pleated-detail skirt @Forever21, SM Megamall

Not exactly detailed, but I really don't know how to explain it's style. It's cool. Kind of pleated in a way, but in a way where it effortlessly flows down, kind of like a curtain with it's curves and folds and pleats. I paired it with an olive green long-sleeve top that I featured in one of my past shopping trips. It looked really cool. It had this woodsy effect to it because of the green and the brown and the brown gladiators that I was wearing that day. Love it so much.

Purple graphic tank top @ Cache Cache, SM Megamall ;; P 799

Okay, I have to say that this was a little splurge/impulse-buy for me. I do regret it a little, especially because of the price. But at that moment, I just really wanted to get it. Also, a graphic tank was on my list. And the fit was perfect, it doesn't make me look obese, and I don't need to wear anything under which is perfect. Although the price hits me. Haha. I know, I'm sorry. But it is a good piece on it's own!

Aside from the tank from Cache, cache, I also got a white v-neck from Forever21. A little confession: it's from 21Men. Yeah, and I regret nothing.
I have absolutely no problem at all with wearing guys' clothes, especially when it doesn't even look like it's meant for a guy. I mean, a whole lot of girls wear loose white v-necks. It's just that mine happens to be from 21Men. Haha! But the fit is great, it's comfortable, it's perfect! Got it for 295, I think. Happy happy joy joy! Honestly, it's the first on my list and I've been looking for the perfect one for moooooonths now. Finally, I got it.

So yeah that's pretty much it. Just a quick shopping trip update to keep this blog alive. Haha.
Another post coming up soon so look out! :)

mirror, lie to me.

Hey guys! Long time, no update, yeah?
So I went on yet another shopping trip with Kath! And I think we were quite successful!
<3
First, we went to Payless in Galleria. There was this pair of black wedge ankle booties that we saw the last time we went there. I really wanted to get them but I had no money (and no permission either! haha).
But this time, I got it.

Black wedge ankle booties @ Payless, Galleria ;; P1,650

They're only slightly hard to walk in, because they don't have a front platform, just the three-inch heels (I think?). But I love them to pieces omg. I looooooooooove them. First pair of boots!! 

Purple tank top @ the Platform, Galleria
lol don't mind that white spot on the mirror

This was actually a really good fit, but it had this really awkward flower and chain thing on the side. You can't see it in the picture cause I covered it. :))

Old rose dress @ (Chill) Department Store, SM Megamall

Chill is one of my favorite brands!! And I found this dress with a white top and old rose skirt and it is amazayn. I loved it. Too bad I couldn't get it. I would have, actually.

Black and white graphic tank top with elastic bow waist @ Department Store, SM  Megamall

Kath tried on this skirt along with her white tank and tucked in her black vest. I looked so cool. Almost like a dress!

Loose brown knit top @ Forever21, SM Megamall

So this knit top was on one of the mannequins that were really well-dressed. Except for some reason, the sleeves on this one are much, much looser. Also, the cut isn't so good either. It's a little short, so it is necessary to wear a tank under the thickness of the material.

Dark grey v-neck top @ Forever21, SM Megamall

I love this top so much. It's very cool, and easy to pair things with. You can style a whole lot with it. And I don't have a top like this, so.

Loose long knit top @ Forever21, SM Megamall ;; P1,125

This was the best piece out of all the six items!! I love it so much. The fit is amazayn and so is the cut. You don't exactly need to wear a tank under it because it's long enough, but not long enough to cover my shorts entirely! This one was the one I really considered getting, actually. But it was way to expensive, and I had already spent most of what I had on the boots.

White garter-waist dress @ Forever21

Old rose pleated velour trim dress @ Forever21, SM Megamall

Graphic design body con skirt @ Forever21, SM Megamall

This looked cool on the rack, but the fit was waaaay too tight, and I actually ended up having a butt while wearing it, which I am sooo not comfortable with. The graphic design was nice, though. If it were a mini-type, it would look much more amazayn.
