floral much?

again, it all started with the shoes...

i wanted to go full-on floral on floral prints but when i looked in the mirror,

i couldn't do it! coward!

so i decided on this tipped collar top, which is still actually floral

but safe enough in solid cream color.

|| appetizers : puso restaurant {quest hotel}

i must admit, i am an appetizer junkie...

and good thing the appetizers at puso did not disappoint.

from sushi, sashimi, quiche to salads, i had 'em all!

followed by half a plate of carbonara and a few pieces of broccoli,

i still had enough room for my next favorite --- desserts!

the buffet at puso restaurant at quest hotel is worth a try.

at php495 +++, it's not bad at all.

especially the appetizers!

~ white off-shoulder shirt : props

~ blue 3/4 pencil skirt : props

~ grey ankle boots : forever 21

~ pink faux alligator skin envelope bag : props

~ assorted bangles : from everywhere {china, bangkok, props, sm accessories}

~ butterfly ring : pink pvssy {platinum mall, bangkok}

i've had this skirt in my closet for the longest time

and it's the first time am able to wear it... i don't even know why.

though now on, i might wear it more often as the fit is really nice

and comfy enough as opposed to how pencil skirts could be constricting.

though, i just need to watch it when getting into the car

as the hem could very well get caught when i fold my knees

and i might just rip the skirt off me if am not careful.

it's october now, how time flies... and it will be christmas soon,

but first comes my birthday! {in a few weeks}

purple love balloon

~ coral long back sleeveless top : props

~ black shorts : props

~ necklace & leather cuffs : props

~ rings : china finds

~ black open-toe wedge booties : rubi {cotton on}

a sun shiny morning so it seems...

and i wanted to wear these open toe booties.

so i wore shorts and the chiffon top with it

to attenuate the heat from our perennial tropical climate 

and the leather of the shoes!

|| nail polish : rubi {cotton on}

i love the color of this polish!

don't you?

{this is what am wearing in the outfit photos above}

if only it doesn't chip so easily...

it only lasts me a day or two and i had to re-apply again.

good thing though, the rubi nail polish dries faster than our local brands

and the brush glides so easily for faster polish application.

one way to make nail polish chip less is applying a clear base before.

but am not really a fan of bases as it could cause nail discoloration.

so i'd rather re-apply nail polish or none at all

rather than get discolored or yellowish nails.

~ extreme mullet top : cotton on

~ dark blue jeans : onyx

~ white vest : SM dept. store

~ sling bag : PROPS

~ wedge peep-toe booties : parisian {SM dept. store}

~ leather cuffs : PROPS

i love this top!

this was one of my mom's pasalubong (travel gift) from her last trip to australia.

she got this at the cotton on store, on sale.

i've worn this top about four times in the past two months,

which proves that i really, really love it.

i wore it twice with shorts, the other time with leggings. 

it's like your most comfortable t-shirt, only more stylish cuz of the mullet.

and these jeans, is one of only two blue jeans that i own.

not that i don't like jeans, just that i get allergies

on contact with denim fabric.

and i'd hate to be scratching the whole time when wearing them.

good thing the fabric of this one don't give me such allergies.

on another note,

i've been waking up each morning since saturday

to a very painful and stiff neck 

which also goes down the muscles of my wing bone.

{called the scapula}

i take pain reliever just to get me through the pain,

but even so, the limited range of motion cuz of the tight muscles

is just so uncomfortable and so annoying.

i really don't know anymore what position is should take when sleeping.

i must have tried all possible relieving positions

only to wake up with the same thing the past few mornings.

i'm really hoping to be waking up tomorrow 

without such pain and discomfort.

let's wait and see.
