Pacquiao Sunday + Dior blazer?


Parking lot camwhoring!

(Thrifted Blazer, Dress from Landmark dept store, SM dept store bandage shoes,
Vintage Nina Ricci bag, Folded and Hung sunglasses, Kenneth Cole watch)

my sister/photographer and her silly pose
Woooooohoooooo!!! Did you guys watch??? I'm super happy that Manny Pacquiao won!! He knocked out Ricky Hatton at Round 2, beat that!! I wore this fun dress because I anticipated that Manny will win and we will be in a cheery mood.. =) And damn right he did!!

I borrowed this blazer from my sister (I will slowly steal this..haha=p).. It is again thrifted and it has a Dior tag with serial numbers but I don't know how to authenticate. But I bet it's real because who makes a fake nowadays and intentionally sell it for 60 pesos (less than $2)? I bet the thrift store did not look inside the blazer and just sold it along with other gaudy clothes..hehe.. Oh, and the dress is a recent purchase from Landmark dept store I bought it because the polka dots remind me of Rei Kawakubo x H&M.. The dress is only 300+ pesos (less than $8..) Cheap thrills = <3
Real Dior or not I still think the design is beautiful.. I love it!

Nonito Donaire is the sh*t + failed attempt at sporty dressing

Did you watch how Nonito Donaire box the life out of Martinez? Ok, I'm exaggerating but Martinez got hit HARD!! It was my first time to watch a live boxing match and I super enjoyed it.. Plus both Brian Villoria and Nonito Donaire won!! Yey! Times like these makes me more proud of being Filipino..=)

I'm so glad my dad borrowed my boxing gloves a few months ago (YES THE PINK ONE I posted earlier here!! haha) because he saw Donaire at the boxing gym and yey for me I have a signed Donaire gloves..

(Bayo vest, Forever 21 tank, bayo pants, Crossings heels, Louis Vuitton bag)

Earlier that day I wanted to wear something sporty.. Not hardcore sporty but just some sporty inspired outfit but I didn't manage to find anything in my closet so I settled with a jersey tank and a colorful vest with Red and Blue.. I have always associated Red and blue with boxing because those are the most common color of shorts and gloves I see.. =)

After the match, my whole family went to eat at a Japanese Restaurant named Sachi located around Araneta Coliseum.. If you're from Manila try it they have the BEST SALMON SASHIMI!!! Then my siblings and I went to Cubao X (formerly known as Marikina Shoe Expo).. Cubao X is an old street with thrift stores, Italian restaurant, shoe store, art gallery, dance studio, sari-sari store (smally grocery store) etc..


I will do a post about Cubao X tomorrow because that place is like a chaotic treasure chest, so much to discover. I am not kidding.. I will post lots of pics tomorrow plus our random shopping loot..

DIY Balmain x Everlast Dress

(Black People are People sequined dress; Pink Everlast boxing wraps)

I was looking at my inspiration folder for my graduation ball because I will be meeting with the seamstress later for my gradball gown.. I showed this picture of JRR to my sister and we decided to try it ourselves!! I just want to see what the dress might look like on me and me likeeyyyy!!!


We used a sequined People are People dress and Everlast Boxing wraps.. It was fun! No sewing machine required!!=P

Sporty Spice?

When Spice Girls first came out when I was in sixth grade, I wanted to be Baby Spice. After a few years I switched to Posh spice and I so loooooove her until now.. Just from my choice of Spice Girl you would know that I am not a sporty person. I do not even know how to ride a bike or swim! But today I took up a new sport (actually it's my first sport!) -- BOXING!! I have been planning to try boxing a long time ago but my busy schedule at school did not permit me to do so but now that I'm on vacation I finally tried it and I LOVED IT!! That speed ball is addicting and frustrating at the same time haha..=)
If Baby Spice went boxing she would've picked those gloves too, right?
(Puma gym bag is a gift from BF's parents =) Everlast gloves from my Dad and wraps from Elorde gym)
so nag-fifeeling haha!

haha.. only for the camera =p

After boxing, went to hear mass then had a short camwhore session with my sister at home..


(F21 top; resurrected from the dead Bongo jeans that I bought 6 years ago, SM dept store shoes)

I have been wearing these burned out shirts from Forever 21 because they are very light and I seriously can't wear anything thicker because the summer heat is killing me! I can't even wear my beloved stacks of bangles because it will only add up to the stickiness... hmmmppphh..

I wish I was on some beach with this heat then it would've been perfect!


Yesterday was also burned out day:

(F21 top; bazaar shorts; old blue platforms; LV bag; earrings from Rockwell bazaar; Folded and Hung sunglasses)
