~ jeffrey campbell litas : blogger's united bazaar {from divine lee's stash}

i may never be able to get over how i got these fabulous jc's.

probably until the next blogger's united bazaar,

if i get another pair or two or even more from divine lee's pre-loved items.

lucky me, we have the same shoe size.

for sure her's will be the first booth i'll go to during bu4.

the only problem with these shoes isn't actually mine,

but warren's, since it adds a good five inches to my height.

making me six feet flat and three inches taller than him,

that he has to walk a few feet ahead of me when we're out.

~ 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.

the last time i wore this exact same ensemble was during lifedance 2012.

sans the heel of course.

its perfect for a hot, humid day {the usual weather in our country}
 yet dapper enough {i think} to wear to the club or a party.
i would wear gold stilletos with this if i was going to the club.
though i wore beige flat sandals to lifedance 2012 as it was an outdoor event.

well, nothing much happened this day
and as i make it a point to write about something else aside from what am wearing
i might as well give my review about urban decay naked palette.
i know i might be way behind in this review 
as their second palette has been released 
and i may even be a tad late if i review that also.

well then, humor me.

this is my favorite eye shadow palette so far.
i bring it with me all the time 
as it easily transforms my day make-up to evening
with shades ranging from the lightest cream {virgin}, 
the beige to brown family {with matte and shimmer finish},
to shadowy greys {creep & gunmetal}.

i've had this shadow early this year so you can say
my trove has really been used and even abused.
hence the photo above i got from temptalia.com.

i'm actually wearing the shadow in my outfit shots above.
sorry that there's no clear shot of it,
but am wearing virgin, sin & buck shades.
it's like having make-up with the no make-up feel.

during the day, and when i can remember,
i wear the shadows over primer, a different brand,
even if the palette comes with a small primer bottle.
succinctly, the extra primer defeats its purpose,
to make the eyeshadows last longer.
let's just say, if on its own and on my dry lids {of course with moisturizer}
they last for a good four hours before i can say i am not wearing any eye shadow.
not bad with two to four hours of clubbing
but not enough for a whole day of what-nots
or a whole evening of partying.

it also comes with a brush which i don't really have any problems with.
though it has had mixed reviews.
not that i have a lot of eyeshadow brushes to compare with.
so just take it from that.
but if you're on the go and don't have much space in your purse
to carry around extra brushes, 
then the palette brush will serve its purpose. 

i am dying to have the naked2 palette.
let me save up for it...

desperately wanting

~ 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.

tnt!
