Uggs in May

"Uggs in May" or "Belated Mother's day special", whichever, that's what this post is for. 
For our "Belated Mother's day" celebration, we went to Baguio city! Believe me, I never planned to have an OTDS and that's the reason why I look such a minimalist (joke!) here. 
Well, the truth is, I wasn't able to bring accessories because I wanted to dress comfortably and simple for this occasion. 


And yes, It's not easy to pose especially when you're not used to it. I kept on laughing just because I don't usually do this! :))

look at my ever beautiful mom! People don't usually believe but, yeah.


(tank top from Mango, cardigan from Zara, shades from Ray-Ban, shoes from Toms Shoes)

Btw, Happy Mother's Day Mi! Thanks for everything! :D

Bloggers United on its 3rd!


Bloggers United Strikes Three!

Third time’s the charm for the most anticipated fashion bloggers event in the country!

Bloggers United is staging their third bloggers bazaar this June 2 at the Grandview Events Place to gather Manila’s topfashion bloggers once again in one single venue outside of the World Wide Web. After holding two successful events last year, Bloggers United has easily become one of the most anticipated affairs for both fashion bloggers and readers in the metro.  More than just a bazaar, Bloggers United also partners with charitable groups to use and channel their influence in a positive manner.

Through the overwhelming power of social media and blogs in today's generation, the previous Bloggers United events have successfully joined forces with top fashion bloggers like Laureen Uy, Camille Co, Kryz Uy and many more to inspire their followers and to raise funds for various beneficiaries,  namely KIDS Foundation and GMA Kapuso Foundation. This time around, the event will benefit Operation Smile Philippines.

The event gets better and better every time! To make Bloggers United 3 even more momentous, top Indonesian fashion blogger Anastacia Siantar of The Brown Platform will also be selling alongside Cebu fashion bloggers and our very own top celebrities Divine Lee & Sarah Meier.

So, if you love blog-reading and blog-hopping, Bloggers United is sure to be the perfect end-of-summer bazaar for you. Not only will you be able to bump elbows with your favorite bloggers at the event, but you will also be able to snag some of their own stylish statement pieces as they open their closets to sell to the public. Stay-up-to-date with the biggest gathering of bloggers by following us on Twitter (twitter.com/bloggers_unitedand Facebook (facebook.com/bloggersunitedph), and bookmarking our official webpage (bloggersunited.org).

I'm sad though because I don't think I could come but nevertheless, I wish everyone who'll be selling and buying in this bazaar to have a HAPPY SHOPPING! :D 

Boho at times

This is the reason I don't have my face in my post about Zambales, Philippines.
Sorry for the low quality because the sun was already setting the time we took these photos. :(
So, bear with me. :(

Da Vao

Yes, it's "The Vow", hahaha! Forgive my shallow happiness. Anyways, my family celebrated last holy week in Davao city! It was actually a shotgun getaway again. :))
I've never been to Davao before this trip and I've only heard few things about Davao from some of my favorite bloggers like Ms. Kryz Uy and Ms. Cheyser Pedregosa but since "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.", we booked our flights and reservations few days before the actual holy week. 


'nuff said. Photo flood for the summary of the entire trip! :D







Crocodile park! :D

Yes, we are wacky at times.

Just wanna say, I miss Davao so much. :(

Polaris Lovin'

Polaris, mainly because It's our lovely batch's name. :">
Almost 14 years (including nursery), I've been with these people my entire life and they're truly more like my family rather than my friends. Now, we've graduated high school a.k.a. leaving our most comfortable zone, I just want to Congratulate and Good luck all of my batch mates (I know it's a little late but it's better late than never, right?)
So, skipping the drama part, last April 12, 2012, us, seniors, had our grad ball and It was hella' fun! Kudos to the organizers /:> And this is what we ( Marilyn and I) wore.


(Dress from Forever 21, Clutch from Tonic, Shoes from Charles and Keith)
She'll probably kill me if she finds out I featured her here. Btw, miss ya! :))

Sorry for the latter photo. 'nuff said.

Before this post ends, I just want to tell POLARIS how I terribly miss them. :(
