White Out + Perricone Giveaway Winner

Kinda disappointed that we had to wear white tops and jeans as costume for our dance number because I actually planned on wearing a dress. Kinda a last minute announcement good thing I had a decent white top hiding in my closet here in my apartment. And oh yes, I do not have a flat iron! As you can see, the pleats in my top look like a mess haha..=)

Yay they let us join the Christmas party despite us being on duty. In case you're wondering why I'm sitting on a wheelchair, it's already a tradition for the Surgery Christmas party that the person who is the most drunk gets to be pushed into a wheelchair and brought down from the penthouse of the hotel into his/her car. How embarrassing! And no, I was not that person haha.. The throne/wheelchair is only for Surgery residents, (I am still an intern) just sat on it for photo-op purposes as usual haha. We didn't even get to eat or drink because we thought there weren't food left so we just transferred to a place nearby for some food and drinks.

White top and Jeans: Plains & Prints; Platforms: SM dept store; Mango bag from Le boyf; Chanel earrings
I felt so tall the whole night. Look at how high my platforms are! The shoes are
not exactly new, they're remnants of my birthday shopping loot and I only got to wear them last night.

When we were about to go home, we all agreed to stop by the Pinoy Big Brother's house as it was super near the Christmas party venue. Surprised that they weren't too strict with regards to taking pics and getting near the house. There were 2 guards at the entrance door. Sorry for the crappy pics. I forgot that my camera works well with lowlight. Shouldn't have used the flash. Super fun camwhoring with my co-interns! We love wacky pics..=)

CONGRATULATIONS TO COUTURE CARRIE!
You won my Perricone Cold Plasma Giveaway!
Thank you Perricone MD for this great giveaway.=)

Hi Deer!

With no make-up..=)

The antlers are my favorite part of the necklace

Asymmetric cotton dress: 101 NewYork; Renegade Folk shoes; LV Bag; Folded & Hung necklace

You know the drill. My brother doesn't know the concept of outfit picture so my shoes are cut off in almost all the pics! hehe.. He's still the best diamond peel partner though! The brother and I are diamond peel facial partners-in-crime. Sister 1 is obsessed with tanning so she doesn't want her face constantly scraped while sister 2 has super sensitive skin and her face can't tolerate the procedure.

This was taken during the weekend, it was especially hot and humid that day so I wore something really light and "un-clingy". I like this dress because the fabric is light and design is simple but not boring because the asymmetric hem gives it a little bit of drama!

I'm going on an out-of-town trip on Thursday with these crazies!=)

It is our official interns' outing. All of us are excused from our hospital duties, so fun!! I'm so excited because there'll be some games, watersports and a blue-themed party at night! Aaaaahhhh and I can't wait to play TONG-ITS (card games) with Caps and Nsh!

Camwhoring galore yey!!=)

Chi, my Emergency Room duty partner wearing a "wig"

This top is older than me.

Vintage top; Leggins: topshop; Watch: Kenneth Cole; Bangle: from a little store in Oakland; Shoes: Payless Shoe source
Old pics.. Got this vintage top when I raided my grandmother's closet a few years ago.
I got the shoes on sale for $8 a few years ago but it's broken now..
Too bad, I so loved its simple style.

Lola (grandmother) and I around 22 years ago haha

Back to Basics + White T Revamp

DIY draped shirt with safety pins

Blazer: Plains and Prints; Topshop jeans; Renegade Folk shoes
Accessorize necklace; Diamond necklace a surprise gift from the boy; F&H sunglasses

I'm having DIY fever! I know my draping skills are non-existent but it doesn't stop me from trying..=) This one is super easy and would just take about 10 minutes of your precious time.. There are actually 3 safety pins on the shirt, 1 at the middle and 2 on each side. I need to practice more, draping is so fun! Oh and the shoes are new, so happy.. I got them on sale!=)

Uuggghhh the camera's so weird the shots were taken one after the other and yet they seem to have different lightings and settings. (except the 1st one because I edited it)

Black or White?

Rummaged through my closet for something to wear for our dinner and found these 2 dresses I bought last year. Which do you like more? I wanted to wear the white one because it looks fresh and summery (although Manila weather is getting crazier everyday, there was a typhoon named "Emong" the other day) but the white was kinda see thru and I can't find something to wear underneath so I went with black!!

The only good thing about the crazy Manila weather: I get to wear hooded dresses in the middle of the "supposed to be" summer!

The dress has a zipper in the middle, 2 big pockets at the side and a humongous hood!!
Dress: Refill, Cuff from Archeology at Powerplant, Shoes: Monica Fig, Sunglasses: F21

**Sorry for not smiling! I realized I look grumpy/angry in the pics!!=P**

What's your pick? And why?

My Fashion Police BF

I read fashionaddict's post (so interesting!!) a while ago about STRAIGHT guys having strong opinions about fashion and how we dress and I remembered the BF..

Usually he likes my outfits and compliments it most of the time.. I can not forget this outfit because he said it looked skanky!! Huh?? IT DOES NOT! He said that it looked like I forgot to wear pants.. The boy *never* tells me what not to wear but he kindly told me not to wear it again and I answered, "well sorry for you I have these in 2 more colors!!=P" And I have worn far more uhhmmm revealing outfits than this but I don't know what exactly about this dress that he did not like..

(dress: plains and prints; shoes: renegade folk; bag: Louis Vuitton)
After my sister's bday dinner, Aug '08

He finds the white button down skanky but does not think so about this one..=P

My birthday, Nov'08
clubbing with my med friends .. I miss going out and dancing all night!=)

Oh, the boy is so weird sometimes.. i <3 him =)

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..

Happy Easter Everyone!!

(F21 sunglasses; Ralph Lauren pique shirt)

Hope you have a nice Easter Sunday with your loved ones!=)
