DRESSING UP

Every girl loves dressing up and me and my gal pals are no exception.We have this fashion fantasy for ages of going out together while strutting sky-high heels and garbed in super stylish clothes. Tapos chikka-chikka while walking then a papparazi snaps a photo of us.

THINK: Sex and the City girls

 You know. THAT kind of imagination. Haha.

So one Saturday we gathered our confidence and decided to "dress-up". 

But since we live in a modest city, we have to downplay our fashion fantasies a little. 

We can't exactly don sky-high heels because of transportation matters. 

But then who knows? We might have the courage someday na i-carry mag-heels plus super outfit habang sakay ng tricycle. Haha.

Anyway, here's us:

My friend Akemi (middle) in a beautiful pink sundress and Kristine (right) in a classic LBD (Little Black Dress).

On the other hand, here's what I wore:

 Kept my messy hair in a bun. Pang-nurse ang peg.

LEFT: Black ruffled skirt scored at the bargain section of a local Department Store

RIGHT: Silver top bought for 50 bucks at a thrift store.

 I just love dishing out my cheap fashion finds.
Besides, I wouldn't brand myself Chic Cheapskate for nothing. Chos!
 Lesson: You need not to wear super expensive clothes to feel fabulous.
You only need girlfriends who are willing to play "dress-up" with you and an ounce of confidence. Chos again. Haha.

We actually watched the What Women Want: FASHION SHOW at SM City General Santos later that afternoon.
My friend Kristine blogged about it  HERE.

This is actually a long overdue post. Teehee.

FIRST OF SUMMER

Thanks to my awesome friend, Nise Romero, who just knows exactly when to capture that perfect obligatory jump shots by the beach. Hihi.

Speaking of summer, it's so hot here in General Santos City(mas hot pa kay Angel Locsin). 
Bumili ako ng ice cream sa kanto tapos pag-uwi ko, tunaw na. And I'm not even exaggerating that story. That's how hot here. Just saying.

Meanwhile in real life, I am busy with my internship. It gives me a taste of how life will be post-college.

Still trying to adjust though.

How about you? 

How's summer so far?

THE LITTLE THINGS

Blur lang para maganda haha.

How's it going everybody?  I am not to go into details about the outfit since the whole look is very basic. Just love how thong sandals and a flouncy top could make jeans look girly. Don't you think?

Oh well sabel, since it's my blog I am about to brag endlessly on what's happening in my life. Haha. 

First, I landed a spot for internship on the Accounting firm I've been applying for. It felt good to be "HIRED!". 

Next, I'm one of the highest in our Law 2 exams. I'm blogging this since I want to convince you that you really become what show you watch. I was really inspired with  SUITS that's why. Ha.

Third, I placed second on the Essay Writing Contest I joined in school. It was about Women Equality and Empowerment since March is Women's Month. The cool catch is, I won myself 300 bucks! Not bad. I really felt like I was a millionaire after I received it. :)

And lastly, we had another internship seminar at a local hotel last Saturday and well, my outfit got complimented by the speaker. It was the same outfit I wore HERE only I paired the skirt with a hot pink top and black blazer. I could pass like a banker daw. Hihi.

I know I sound like bragging bitch in this post. But you know, you have to celebrate the little things in life.

 How about you? 

What are the little things you are celebrating for today?

PHOTOSHOOT MOODBOARD

My girl friends and I usually have a conversation on what peg or concept we would like to have if we can have a fashion photo shoot.We really are planning to have one if school will be less busy. 

We all want a fairy-bohemian theme. You know, that photo shoot na nasa may fields of grass, tapos complete with beautiful sun rays. You wear a flowery dress to match the flowery wreath worn on the head. Tapos takbo takbo kunware. I think every girl would like that. Haha.

OR!

 A Glam Shoot would be fine too just like the theme of Binibining Pilipinas this year :

   I like those concepts. But I like it more when it's effortless. 

And I just found the perfect peg!

 Feel at home lang teh? Haha

I really love this new fashion campaign of Alexa Chung for FRAY I.D. It's like you're just hanging out at your friend's place and you decided out-of-the-blue to take photos. You just lay in the couch, wear the simplest of clothes but  you still look very stylish. You also have very minimal make-up on and that perfectly tousled messy hair. 

Effortless but super chic.

Haayyy, a girl can dream. Haha.

 Ikaw? What photoshoot peg would you like? :)
