Love month is here and I'm welcoming it with another giveaway! This time, I'll be giving out stuff from Just Chic, iWhite Korea and The Face Shop!

Lately, I've been having a hard time updating my blog. It's either I got home late from work, busy running errands for Just Chic, attended an event/important gathering, or sometimes, sick. Not that I'm complaining (I'm so thankful and happy with what I'm doing right now), but it's gets frustrating when things don't go the way you wanted it to. #controlfreak Blogging is so important to me that I tend to lose my patience even on the smallest things whenever I miss out on my schedule. During these times, my OC-ness will get the better of me that I'll start hating myself coz my backlog of posts are starting to pile up already. Sadly, that's what happened this month. I can't believe it's the last day of January tomorrow and I only had 4 blog posts (this one included) for this month! Huhuhu Wasn't able to reach my target!

Hi guys! Happy New Year! I hope everyone had an awesome start for 2014. Were you able to burn those holiday fats already? Well, I haven't yet that's why I'm going for an early morning jog tomorrow! Wehehehe :P That's one of my New Year's resolutions,okay? Suportahan niyo na ko! Lol Anywaaay, because this is my first post for 2014, I decided to do a giveaway for all of you who want to have a "sexier & prettier 2014". HAHA! Ang kikay lang ng giveaway na to! I've never done a giveaway before (coz I'm lazy like that) so this is really something new for my blog. Another New Year's resolution! :)

I was really saving this outfit post for this year-end blog entry. Not because it's something special or anything, but because December went by so fast, I barely had time to do outfit shots. 

First blog post for December! I am a busy (and sickly) bee! Huhu... Been down with fever and flu for the past few days that's why I haven't been able to blog for almost a week. :/ Anyway, thank you to everyone who dropped by my booth at the Food Meets Fashion Bazaar! I was able to sell a lot! Thank you, thank you, guys. I hope to see you again next time! :) 

Before I start sharing my Blogapalooza experience, let me tell you first what this event is all about. Blogapalooza is a business to blogger networking event. It's a community where in small and big businesses present their product/brand to hundreds of influential bloggers and online social media influencers. It was hosted by Vince Golangco (DJ at Mellow 94.7, TV Show host of Tek Tok TV and Publisher of WhenInManila.com), who's also the one that started this event along with Francis Simisim (CEO of Gang I.T. Ventures Inc., online marketing specialist and blogger on TechFilipino.com) and Anton Diaz (one of the top online personalities in the Philippines and blogger at OurAwesomePlanet.com).

If you have read my blog feature here, you would know that one of my favorite trends is the classic black and white. I've sported this look a couple of times already in this blog and I think a lot of you already know why I'm so in love with it. Aside from the fact that these two colors complement each other so well, they also let you try color blocking in a much safer way (compared to doing it on bold and bright colors). I've said this once but I'll say it again, I will never get tired of this combination! 

If you've been a follower of this blog for quite a while now, you must have read all my previous posts about Philippine Fashion Week. You see, it's been my tradition to attend every season, watching different designer and retail brand shows. However, for this Spring Summer 2014, I had a very limited free time (due to work and other events) which caused me to skip the other shows and just choose those which will fit my schedule. 

I used to think that undergarments are the least important part of your ensemble. I don't even understand why some used to be so expensive when in fact, no one would know what brand of undies you are wearing except you. I rarely go to lingerie stores and I'm actually unaware of my bra size! But it's not until I went to Bangkok last May when I had my first official lingerie shopping when my colleague encouraged me to take advantage of the Wacoal sale that was happening during that time. Since then, I've been a fan of this famous brand. I love the quality of their undergarments, not to mention its perfect fit. Totally worth every penny!

It's been a busy but super fun weekend for me. Philippine Fashion Week Spring Summer 2014 just ended yesterday and I'm once again thrilled to have seen my favorite designers' shows. I will be blogging about that soon but please bear with me for I still have a backlog of things to write about. So to start, today's post is about my birthday outfit! 

Hello hello! I'm backkk! But I'm just gonna make this short and simple. I still have loads to do and my body's still not functioning well. I haven't recovered from my flu yet! Huhu. Anyway, here's an outfit shot I took two weeks ago. I seldom wear dainty and girly pieces coz I'm afraid I won't be able to pull it off. But this dress is just too pretty and it reminds me how much I loved wearing dresses back when I was a kid. Haha. So, what do you think?

And my fascination for crop tops continues! Haha. This look was taken 2 weeks ago when I had a sort of photo shoot with my friend Abi and her siblings. Since then, I've worn crop tops for 4 consecutive times that I went out. I'm not doing it on purpose, but lately, I find myself donning them. I was even surprised to find out I have quite a number of crop tops even before it became a hit trend this S/S '13 season.

I don't know if it's my busy schedule or my time management problem that made it impossible for me to update this blog for almost a week now. I was planning to blog about the "photo shoot" that I had with the Montales siblings (more on that on my next post) last Saturday but then I got home late today and I still have to prepare my outfit for tomorrow's event (oh yeah, excuses). Sooo... for the meantime, here's a sneak peek on what to expect for this week's outfit posts. If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen these looks already. :P So, are you ready? Haha! No judging please! 

A gloomy outfit post for a gloomy weather we are having right now. Though I have so many plans for this week, majority has been cancelled due to Tropical Storm Maring that caused severe flooding around Metro Manila and other nearby provinces. I hope everyone's safe and dry! And while most of us are stuck at home, stressed out with all these sad news that we are hearing, why don't you guys take a break and read some fashion-related things like my latest outfit post? Haha! #keepcalmandvisitmyblog Kidding! That's just me trying to promote! :P

I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift, but I do love and have memorized some of her songs (I remember James making fun of me when I sang Sparks Fly with all my heart.lol). So when I came across this photo of her in an almost the same outfit as mine, I know I just have to post it. Haha Look at our identical skirts and shoes! :))
