I'd really want to wear this outfit outside, but the oh-so-warm summer temperature here is preventing me to do so. I'm sorry, but I just really wouldn't be able to take the heat haha, not to mention the sensation of sweating! The red Zara sweatshirt I used for layering's a pretty thin piece, actually, but it's the button-down I'm wearing beneath it that's the problem. Maybe during the cooler times of the year, I can sport this one. As for the chinos, they're perfect for summer; they're light and versatile, and they come in great colors!! Hopefully I'll get to invest in some burgundy-colored ones soon. Anyway, as I said in my previous post, I'm now officially on summer vacation!! It feels great to wake up each day knowing that I don't have to do any schoolwork or anything. Though I really hope I savor the freedom that I have, 'cause I've now realized that time moves by pretty quick. Gotta make the most of what we have, right?

To start off, I want to apologize for the hiatuses that I've been taking in-between my recent posts. Just a few days/weeks ago, schoolwork was consuming most of my time, and I couldn't find the time to make updates. But just recently, the school year ended, and I'm now on summer break!! Boy, is it hot here in Manila. Anyway this means that I'll have more time to tend to this blog, and to do more activities in general. I have an ample amount of time to read the books I've been putting off, take loads of photos, and spend time with family and friends. I'll do my best to keep the posts flowing, don't you worry. Lastly, I hope you enjoyed the random photographs that I included in this post haha!!

PROUDRACE S/S 2012








I know this is late, but I just wanted to showcase Proudrace's Spring/Summer 2012 collection here in my blog. I appreciate the monochromatic color palette, and the simplicity and minimalism of the looks and the whole collection. I'm loving the "virgin" sweater featuring the Versace logo!! I really have to get myself one of those. I've also got my eye on the hats!! This collection just proves that there exists here in Manila some fantastic and youthful local brands that we should be taking notice of. Looking forward to seeing more from Proudrace soon!

It’s androgynous without being
contrived, it's coherent and definitely wearable.

GOOD SHOES




I present to you, my latest pair of shoes from Aldo!! I bought them for my prom night actually (which I haven't blogged about). But of course, I also sport these often now, now that their initial purpose has been served haha. I'd love to say that they're the most comfortable of shoes, but as you've most probably guessed, they are not. The first time I wore these babies without any socks, both my ankles got wounded! Though it wasn't anywhere near a serious wound, it still hurt even the slightest bit. I think it's because of the height of the shoes' sides; they reach just below my ankles, so that when I walk, it scrapes against them. Anyway, I'll probably keep wearing these for a long span of time. I'm really happy with these ones; more so now because I think I'm getting the hang of walking in these shoes. Watch out for an outfit post of me sporting these babies soon!

Bag from Rustan's;
I cannot stress how glad I am to have bought the hoody that I'm wearing in this look. It's not something I would normally purchase, because I usually just buy cardigans, but this hoody is fantastic; it's really comfortable and soft! Also, I hope you've noticed the new button-down that I'm sporting. I've really taken an immense liking to prints and I hope to collect more printed pieces soon! As for the bag, it's actually my mum's; I kind of "borrowed" it haha.On another note, I've realized that time passes by quite fast these days. I can't believe that another school year is coming to an end, and that summer vacation is just around the corner. So much things are changing, and sometimes I'm not fully aware of them. I'm sure it's all going to sink in soon though, but it scares me a bit. That's one of the things that's always constant and inevitable in life, change.
