Tea and Sympathy

It was a beautiful and colorful day and nothing was quite as beautiful as taking photos of my outfit in a place that was just pure perfection for it! I have always loved quaint and beautifully made places and settings and this location was the best place for it! It was like playing tea in my own personal doll house and the interior decor and over-all feel of the place added on a whole new touch to my outfit...don't you think? As for my outfit, despite it being the rainy season, I decided to add some color to my outfit because I missed wearing bright hues and there's nothing like a bright colored outfit to instantly lift your mood. I took a gamble on quite the "unsafe" combination of coral and chartreuse which I must say was a good decision because it worked out in the end and I have my Suiteblanco shoes to be thankful for when it comes to integrating the entire look.

Born to Blush
(Sweater: Forever 21 | Skirt: Forever 21 | Shoes: Topshop | Bag: Marc Jacobs | Accessories: +RUCKUS)


I will forever have my pastel dreams. Provided I do love the frequent burst of color and neon tones, there are just some days a girl feels the need to dress light, breezy and completely feminine. This day was one of those days. I wore a sorbet inspired (doesn't it look like strawberry gelato?) outfit for a Sunday night movie and dinner night with my two most favorite men in the world, my brother Enzo and boyfriend Inigo who was back from Malaysia for my birthday. Dinner was at Mexican resto Achiote followed by a dose of the sentimental as we watched sob story The Vow after.

I love to blush!

Forever21 Holiday 2011: RORY BECA x FOREVER21 Exclusive

I love FOREVER21... always have, always will.
Even before their flagship store opened at SM Megamall, and even before their second branch opened at a much nearer location in Makati, I was shopping online just to get my FOREVER21 fill. Which is why I am happy to share to you that I was handpicked as one of FOREVER21's roster of bloggers straight from the motherland, in their main offices back in California.

Expect a lot of sneak peeks and previews on the latest FOREVER21 has to offer in my blog as I shall be posting a lot more soon. But for the meantime, speaking of that, here's an UNRELEASED VIDEO of what FOREVER21 has in store for you over the Holiday 2011 season. I am very much excited by this RORY BECA x FOREVER21 collaboration and cannot wait for the pieces to hit the shops... because I shall definitely splurge for that. I fell in love with her STUDIO 54 themed collection (I love the '70s) and dresses inspired by Warhol and iconic figures from the decade such as Bianca Jagger who has always been an icon of mine.

Once you watch this behind the scenese video and fall in love with Rory (and you so will, like I did)... wait for these gorgeous pieces to come out at a FOREVER21 store nearest you!

PS: I need that cutout dress in my life so bad!!!!

Jam-packed weekend.
After my Super Sale Saturday, headed on to Member's Only for an exclusive party and the launch of their Forever 21 Gift Card and lovely brand ambassadors who also happen to be my friends/ fellow bloggers, Lissa, Patricia, Domz and Tricia.

The Higher the Better.

SKIRTING THE ISSUE? The skirt is the issue.... Major scene stealer.

I loved the night and I loved it all the more because I got to wear my stunning Vania Romoff skirt which has these gorgeous ruffle frills. I've been saving wearing this skirt since forever and I am so happy I finally got to that night! Since it was a F21 event, I thought it was only fitting to accessorize in Forever 21...which btw are my few fave accessories in my stash right now!
