Cebu is the 2nd largest commercialized city in the Philippines.

We don’t have the fancy stores here like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, etc. The only stores we have that are even close to being store worthy are Topshop, Mango and Promod. How we (or I) lived before these stores arrived, i don’t know! haha :)) But what’s great about a city that’s there but not quite really there yet are the amazing finds from local shops, and more importantly, local dressmakers. I’ve been going to the same atelier since i was in high school and he has never failed to give me chic and amazing outfits from time to time.

Retail shopping is great, but nothing beats an outfit that’s perfectly designed for you :)

hello loves!! :) how are you all? i haven’t posted lately because i’ve been so busy preparing for my job interview for Citibank (Manila). They came here to Cebu to do the interviews and i think i did good! they said they were going to call me, so i’ll be crossing my fingers and hoping i get the job!!

i know that lately my outfits have been mostly of skirts, and i think they’ve gotten a bit boring already. forgive me, i promise to do better next time! there’s a reason anyway. i haven’t shopped for 3 months because my family and I are going to L.A. for our summer vacation!! which means that i will definitely go crazy shopping all day there for 2 weeks!! :)) i’m really excited already ;)

so this is what i wore on Sunday with family. we went to watch Alice in Wonderland, and it did not disappoint. i loved the movie! it’s still that classic fairytale but with an added twist :)

i just finished reading the book “L.A. Candy” by Lauren Conrad, and it was good!! who knew LC could write, huh?

hi guys!! i’ve been sick this past week, thus the lack of updates. still not feeling that well, but i’m getting there :)

i’ve noticed that i’ve been wearing flats lately, maybe because summer’s almost here and it kinda gives me this laid back feeling.

anyhoo, the balloon’s for one of our friends who’s birthday is today! :)

hey everyone! so, this is my outfit for today. i’ve worn this skirt already in my previous entry, but i mixed it up with a corset top and a belt :) today i’m on floral overload. haha. i love flowers, but i love blue roses the best. although there really isn’t a BLUE colored rose and they just spray paint white ones to make them blue, i still love them. :) i guess there’s just something special about a blue rose? ;)

so i can shop every week and not care about the amount i spend! :))
