~ extra long sweater : cotton on

~ cropped top : props

~ inner top : mango

~ ombre shorts : shorts from props; ombre DIY dyed last summer

~ lime green flip flops : cotton on

~ assorted wooden bangles : bangkok finds

~ leather flower ring : bangkok finds

this is probably the second time i've worn these shorts.

dyed it ombre yellow-pink last summer when ombre became really hot.

too bad my photo don't seem to do the colors some justice due to poor lighting conditions.

my bad, as i only remembered having my outfit shot

right when the sun went down.

shangri-la's mactan island resort and spa has always been 

a favorite of me and warren for a day or two of relaxation.

if only it was affordable!

so we save stays at the resort for special occasions, like my pre-birthday weekend.

on the first day, 

as much as we wanted to get out of the room and lounge by the beach

the weather was nowhere near cooperative with rain showers.

so i succumbed to my reading by the room's balcony

while warren occupied himself with his online stuff.

it was still relaxing as it should be, sans the sun & the beach.

the second day it may not have been as sunny as we wanted it to be

but no-rain was enough, for us to enjoy the beach.

as for the book i started reading,

i would wanna give my little review of it soon.

~ ikat print dress : props

~ wedges : varsavia

~ snakeskin wood/resin bangle : pink pvssy

~ rings : china finds

i was in love with this dress because of the print.

and silently hoping, that it would fit me

as most free size dresses are too short for me.

but incredibly, it was just the right everything!

the right fit, the right coverage, the right length.

am wearing casual wedges to subdue the sexiness of the dress.

but for a night out with friends, i would wear this dress

with black heeled booties or gold stilettos, 

and some big chinky necklace or huge dangling earrings.

tnt!
