BOY MEETS GIRL

If ever I'm working in an office, generally of my outfits would definitely look like this! But I'm not an office girl! I'm a BSBA degree holder and it's my dream since childhood to be an office girl. But as much as I'd love to so I'll have an excuse in sporting this look or able to play dressing up most of the time, I just wish I could. But I'm a hands-on mom and I think a job in the office would take a lot of my time. My children are too young and still need full attention that's it.☺

But of course even I'm not an office girl, I can still dressed like one! In some instances, you should need to go out of the box. Try new things and be unexpected.  In this look, I've tried something new. I used to think that long skirts would make me look like a midget. But I was wrong! Or maybe, I just found the right length and cut that suit my figure. What do you think? Well, hope you guys like my look as I do.☺

I always love wearing clothes that I feel comfortable in. Furthermore, I love mixing manly clothes with feminine pieces to come up with a boy-meets-girl ensemble. I kept everything simple and polished the look with platform pumps as I think my outfit would look great with them than with flats.

I'm beginning to love make-up! Well, just the basic stuffs lang nman. I'm still considered myself lousy in applying make-up especially with the eyeshadow. Sigh! However, here are some of my beauty essentials that I'm currently loving. All from my skin trusted cosmetic brand - Maybelline.

 This lipstick is my favorite at this point. I'm crazy over the shade! Super love it! I almost wearing it everyday! It has been a statement of my outfit here, here and here. I actually wouldn't get it if only didn't the saleslady insisted me to. I told her that the shade might not suits to morenas. But she insisted me to have it a try. Besides, she also said that even Beyonce's capable of wearing fuschia lipstick! So I gave in and I'm really glad that I did! She proved me wrong! It's really nice to try something new and found out things you can't even imagine that would suit your liking. Kudos for the saleslady who helped me find the right make up essentials. I'll absolutely look for her assistance when my beauty kit needs more!

BONDING WITH MY COUSINS

As what I've promised, here's my post about my shopping experience together with my cousins. First stop was the Plains & Prints store of course! Whenever I intend to shop, it's definitely the number one in my list. Always! See items I picked out and tried on..

(Someone's peeping from behind! Haha!)

I actually first saw this top when I bought my all time fave lace shorts from the same brand you can see in my post HERE. This top captured my heart at the first time, look at the lovely prints! I really love it's brand logo sooo much! But unluckily, it ran out of my size in Rob Galleria. I feel sorry that the only store nearest at my place is the one in SM Bacoor. I've wished they'll open a branch in SM Dasma.

 Anyhow, now I think it was a lucky day for me as I get to have the items I've been lusting over from their last year's collections. The top and this dress are from the Preppy Paris Collection.

This top's from their Watercolor Collection. Another one I've been eyeing at their Facebook account, since we rarely go to SM Bacoor due to traffic. I was glad I even get the chance to have it at a fraction of the cost! Although it didn't come with the sash anymore, the sales lady said it's lost, I knew I had to get it!☺

And lastly, top and shorts from their DNM Collection. I'm a sucker of tops and dresses with sexy back! The first time my eyes laid onto these basic beauties, I was sold!☺

Instead of the orange dress I threw on in the pictures above, I chose the green one since it's the lucky color of the year. Plus the fact that I just bought orange dress during the holiday. Furthermore, I still have orange dress from Plains & Prints that I got for ages and yet haven't find much appropriate event to wear it out.

Do you know that I only saw this freebie recently when I took pictures. This cutie will surely completes my Plains & Prints outfit.♥

Next stop was the Kamiseta and Bayo stores. I learned that Kamiseta moved to smaller place. I found the former place too big anyway. I haven't take pictures of my Kamiseta purchases yet. I got 9 items from the store. Truth be told, I only get to shop massively during sale. On regular priced items, I can only afford one to two items.☺

After a major shopping, our stomachs were rumbling and growling! Haha!   When I asked my cousins about the time, it's half past 1:00 pm! Oh my!  Oh my! So that's the reason why we're all hungry. I brought them in The Sizzlin' Pepper Steak so my cousins get to taste it! Or should I say it's because I really wanna try their Beef Pepper Steak?! Partially!☺

Jezu and I grinning from ear to ear! Showcasing his gum! Haha! Sooo cute!

And our orders arrived!

Me getting to taste the Beef Pepper Steak.☺ And when I did, it's delicious! I think I'll try it once more - or perhaps over and over again! Haha!

Meet my blooming soon-to-be a mother cousin - Tiffany. She had the Pork Curry Pepper Rice. And because she finished her food, I think she liked it!  I had it tasted and it was just good enough though I'm not a curry lover.

My cousin Rizchielle over a Pork BBQ Pepper Rice. She ate like a cockroaches! Haha! Peace my dear cousin! Maybe she didn't like the food. She poured a lot of sauce I guess. When I tried her dish, it didn't wowed me as well. I don't like my BBQ to be sweet as it nearly tasted like tocino for me. I prefer the curry over this BBQ menu. It's only my opinion anyway, if ever you want sweet tasting BBQ - then you can go on in this.☺

After finishing our rice meal, whilst Rizchielle never did, presenting the star of the show...

Turtle Cheesecake

Cheesecake on tiramisu layer with caramel and almond toppings, sprinkled with cocoa.

Cousin Rizchielle picked this out from the dessert menu. We all laughed in astonishment when the waiter place it on the table. Asking each other "Eto na yun?!" We find it a little pricey at 196.00 for the tad bit serving. After I had a taste, it's too sweet for my liking. I love sweets but definitely not too sweet enough for me to get a diabetes! LOL! Don't get me wrong, the cheesecake with caramel and almond toppings was luscious. And if you ask me if I'm going to have it again? Maybe, but it should be with someone to share with, because I couldn't finish it by myself for sure.

We then went to the seaside and just hang around a little and took some shots - including my outfit shots of course!☺ Then, we went back inside because we couldn't bear the heat.

It feels great when you spent some time with your cousins. I'm missing my sister again because if only she's around, she'll definitely wouldn't miss this moment!

Well, it's Friday again. It's as if the week was just started. Just a few days and it will be February. But before that, my eldest Lehem is turning 6 years old at the end of the month. Time really flies too fast! My kids growing up too fast as well! Next time, binata na sila. Hmmm... Even so, they'll forever be my baby! I think, that's for now. Need to fix something for my sister. Til my next post!☺

MINIMALIST

Had a great time with my cousins couple of weeks ago in Mall of Asia. Yes! Again! Haha! It's an end of season's sale so why not grab the opportunity to satisfy my shopping needs?!☺ Will be posting our shopping experience anytime soon. As for now, here's my minimalist look on that day which is very "me". Hope you like it!☺

I really am a fan of button down shirts! A classic pieces that you can wear over and over again! Button down shirts are easy to wear and style up, and one more thing I really love the most is the comfortable feel it provides.

Aside from LBD, a white shirt is essential to women's wardrobe! And this one's my favorite to date! I sooo love the casual chic appeal I get in it. Like an LBD, this is such a versatile item anyone could wear anytime, anywhere and at any occasions! Genius!

Plains & Prints hi-lo top / Von Dutch jeans / Cosmopolitan bag / Twinsisters spiked bracelet / Diva ring / Parisian Comfy flats

Have you noticed almost stuffs I was wearing here were gifted from last Xmas?!☺

I guess, the top made my entire outfit. Exuding a classy yet simple look. You think so? Well, be mindful lovely ladies that Plains & Prints is still on going sale nationwide! Go ahead and fill your wardrobe with their classy and trendy clothes! Duration of sale is until 30th of January only! You still have one week to treat yourselves! Have a happy shopping!
