Plains & Prints

In a nutshell, I want everything below:

Ayayay.

Revived!

Alright, I'm guilty of killing this blog.

En punto: WANT, WANT, WANT!

These are the things I seriously want to stock up on, fashionably speaking.

1. Chinos.
I love how they flatter any body type, especially mine! It hides my big hips and thighs plus it can take you from casual to glam anytime of the day. I already have pairs in black and navy blue. I want khaki and gray pairs next.

Let the search begin.

2. Lightweight button down polo shirts (in floral, plaid, stripes and/or solid prints)

3. Glam flats

Ayayay! Money!!!

Flower Power

Did I mention I'm into florals? They're my must-find print of the moment!

Boot Camp

I have always planned on getting myself a good pair of slouchy, flat boots. You can only guess what happened next when I saw this post in Facebook by Forever 21 Philippines.





Brown Lines

New loot!!! I'm all about neutral tones with my shopping lately.

Loafers from Punkberry

Cuteness!

Br braided belt from some tiangge.

Dreamin' Of A Longchamp Pliage

I'm not a fan of super expensive or designer bags...for a number of practical reasons. Number 1, they are waaaay out of my budget range. Number 2, I'd be too afraid to use them because I know I'll ruin them sooner or later. Close friends of mine will attest to me being one of the clumsiest people on earth. Number 3, they are waaay out of my budget range. Haha. So for now, the few expensive purses I have are care of my generous aunts. 


But lately, the Longchamp bag has been catching my attention. Its simplicity in design won my heart, and its durability won my wallet's heart. (It's supposed to be made out of this super strong nylon which makes the bag last.) My previous boss Tere--AKA the designer bag expert--shared to me that her Longchamp has been with her since she was 18 years old. (She's now in her early 30's.) Amazing eh? 


Since my next project is a durable bag for everyday office use, I'm thinking of getting myself a Longchamp pliage tote in black. Tere said its cheapest version costs around $90 (or PhP 5,000) or so.

This one...

...or this one? Hmmm...

I want! I want! I want!

Take your pick! Hihi.

Cute design!

Gotta have 'em all.

 Fashionistas with their Longchamps!

Le sigh. I hope this project pushes through. *Ehem generous aunts!*

Fashion Cravings

I went on several shopping trips this weekend and was able to score a lot of el cheapo stuff but the following remains on my wishlist:


1. Skinny cargos

2. Floral blazer or cardi

3. Camel flats

4. Brown braided belt - Edit: I bought one last week! Yay! Now I want one in black. Hmmm.

But they all have to wait as I don't have moolah left to spend anymore. :(

Fashion Lusts And Other What-Nots

Since I've been heavily deprived of shopping (due to lack of moolah), all I can do for now is lust. It's a good thing my cousin Jean sent me fashion magazines all the way from California. Since then I've buried my nose into them and here I am about to share some of its contents to you. *I am this close to cutting the pictures out and hang them in my closet.*
 
Actually, just to update you...I now have a job! Yep. Remember that day I was going in for a job offer? I took it. It's a marketing position for an industry that I have quite a grasp on during my advertising days. So it's perfect. Well...kinda. I only started last week so I still have to see how it goes. So far I'm enjoying the challenge it brings. I will tell you more about it on another post. 


Back to the magazines. She sent me Seventeen, Glamour and People Style Watch--all of them September issues. A good thing actually because they all featured fall fashion which is applicable to the weather we have here in the Philippines. Entering the ber months, it's getting quite chilly at night. As I call it, it's cardigan season! Yay!


Looks to keep:

Plaid Shirts

Nicky Hilton (not so sure), Jessica Szohr and Lauren Conrad.

Lookbook cuteness! I love how she completed the look with heels. Hooray for femininity!

So badass.

Love.

Glam! I'll try this look with long pearl strands. Hmm what do you think?

Easy breezy.

Nerdy but oh-so-cute.

Over accessorizing is the key!

Fall Florals

Perfect with cardis!

This can last til summer!

Stars wearing their florals.

In different shapes. Worn with booties. Hmmm I gotta get me a pair soon. :)

Fringe Bags

I love gray!

Other looks to keep are over-the-knee boots, red, ruffles and saddlebags:

I LOVE THEM ALL. Especially no. 2. Le sigh sigh sigh!

I salute the true-blue fashionistas who can pull off over-the-knee boots here in Manila.

Le sigh. Why can't payday come sooner? :(
