Rock The Turban While Hiding The Black Roots

2012-02-27T11:18:00.012+08:00

Hi loves! It's been a week! I missed doing a new post. Other than work, family and friends, online shopping is one of the things that's keeping me busy these days. I am so new to it and I am loving how convenient it really is! The feeling of having something sent to your doorstep is just so addictive! And oh I'm being featured in the Blogger's picks section in Multiply! Please do check it out here.

I had a meeting with Mutiply last Friday and I am giving away P500 worth of EGC to you guys. it will run for 3 weeks and 1 winner per week will be selected. Watch out for the mechanics. =)

I used to be so hesitant in buying something from online but so far I've never had a bad experience. Multiply offers buyer's protection and they feature trusted sellers too. I am working on showing you how easy Multiply shopping is. Watch out for that in the next few days.

For now here's an OTD taken from yesterday before leaving the house. I went out with Allan and met up with my sister and my nephews.

Please forgive my facial expression here. I'm trying so hard to put on a serious face! lol!

This turban is doing so much to keep my black roots! =) Check them out in http://yhansy.multiply.com

Necklace from Parfois, Camera pendant from Lighter's Galore, Watch: Technomarine

Here's a little secret about the skirt. It's actually a tank top. You know how these things becomes unwearable because after a while it becomes too tight showing every proof of what you ate for the day. lol! I figured I can wear that as a skirt and wear something loose over it. If you want to try it just be sure to choose something with a thicker fabric and something that comes in a darker shade. =)

I had such a busy weekend spending time with friends that I don't get to see much because of our busy schedule and of course I didn't skip hanging out with my nephews and my sisters too. What's special about this week was celebrating my friend's birthday in Anawim last Saturday. A home for the aged and many of them there have Alzheimer's disease. We played games and served food. It's a great feeling knowing that you've made someone happy even if they probably won't remember you next time you visit. It was fun and if there's one thing that they taught me during those 3 hours of being there was to enjoy the moment and live in the NOW. I will share photos very very soon.

Fur Tank Top

2012-02-05T23:40:00.008+08:00

I went out with Allan to run some errands. Spending so much time indoors actually made me miss dressing up.

I didn't want to wear something over the top for errands day so here's what I decided to go with.

Bag: Ralph Lauren, Shoes: Janilyn, Top from Bangkok, Spandex skirt DIY

This necklace was my lola's. She must be really foxy in her days yes? Some of the strands got broken but I kind of like how artsy it turned out. I'm definitely keeping it the way it is.

I'm glad tomorrow is going to be the last stage I have to endure in this horrible wisdom tooth journey. I'll visit the dentist once again tomorrow to have the stitches removed. Eeeep scary! Wish me luck! =s

Boy I miss eating normal food! But I love that this is really doing so much for my diet. Afterall summer is coming so fast! Have you booked a trip yet? Summer 2012 is going to be great for sure. And I'm also excited that my dad is coming home in March! I'm so happy to have so much to look forward to.

Oh and ps:
This just in. Another pair from Urbanog! I'm a happy girl!

Ciao for now loves! I need to get a shuteye before I get tempted to watch another episode of HIMYM!

Long Shorts- yay or nay?

2012-02-03T12:15:00.010+08:00

This is what I wore going to the dentist 2 days ago. I don't always wear shorts this long because it makes my legs look shorter but I felt braver that day. I hope I was able to pull it off.

Sunnies: Rayban Aviator

Distressed Shirt: Burberry

Belt: SM

Necklaces: Anagon

Name Ring: Anagon, Shoes: Syrup, Bracelet from Boracay

I'm still recovering from a minor operation. They had to remove my impacted wisdom tooth. It's painful but I'm still glad it's all over now. I have a slight fever that comes and goes but I'm prepared for all of these. And because I'm stuck at home, I had the time to take photos of some things from my closet that are up for adoption. If you have time please go check it out. I have so much more to upload. You may check them by going to the Shop tab or simply click "Shop in Aie's closet" from the sidebar.

Ciao for now loves. My dinner is ready. I'm having soup once again but will enjoy it like it's wagyu! =)

DIY- Fur Vest

2012-01-31T21:55:00.005+08:00

Here's a quick DIY post showing you how I made the fur vest I sported in Ayala Museum about a week ago.

That fur is actually a part of a skirt that I got from my thrifting expedition. Here's how it looks like.

The skirt is something I know I can't sport but the fur is what caught my eye.

So I cut that part of the skirt. I took a little bit of the moss green fabric because I know it would look awesome on the vest I'm going to attach it to. It also serves as my sewing allowance.

Here's a photo of a plain vest I have stored in my closet for years.

A closer look at the fabric.

After some handstiching...voila!!!

What you'll need:
1. A pair of scissors
2. Thread and needle

It didn't require too much effort but the outcome was exceptional don't you think? So next time you go thrift shopping don't judge those costume looking fur skirts. You might find a use for it. =)

I hope you like DIYs because I plan on posting more soon. Ciao for now loves! I'll do an outfit post sporting this for sure.

Perouvian Wasteland Photo Exhibit

I didn't go to the after party in Robot anymore because Allan and I were too hungry so we opted to have dinner in Greenbelt instead since we're already there.

I'm so happy that I am finally done with the Kick Off party that I helped organize at work. We're crossing our fingers for 100% attendance or at least 90% heeeh.

On a different note Nicole of Soule Phenomenon texted me saying the the cross wedges are ready! I'm a happy girl! Will do an outfit post wearing that for sure! Way to make me feel better because I am currently experiencing so much pain right now. My wisdom tooth turns out to be impacted and it needs to be taken out. Surgeries scare the hell out of me. I didn't know how painful this is until the past two horrible days. Anyway, I don't wanna bore you with so much of this so ciao for now loves! =) Goodnight!

Sorry about the blurry photos. I just wanted to post a quick OTD.

I always try to veer away from the blogger get up when at work co'z I know not many people (from work) get that. I'm sure you kinda know what I'm trying to say. So, proper and strict as it is but still chic I hope. =)

Jacket form Peanut Butter and Jeri, shoes from Iwantmyhoney.multiply.com, Purse c/o Mango, Top from Eastwood bazaar

You might be thinking that these parking lot photos are not even blog worthy. But I hope you can let this pass for now. I'll make it up to you over the weekend I promise! =)

On a totally different note, I'm browsing on some photos in my laptop and look what I saw. I got this for Allan a few weeks back. So cheesy haha! The candle didn't even last a minute but I'm glad he still loved it. =)

Have a great rest of the week loves! Ciao!

PENSHOPPE PRE-SUMMER 2012

2012-01-17T08:19:00.006+08:00

So what can we expect from PENSHOPPE this 2012? Traditional casual wear with clean nautical touches. Color blocking. Light fabrics that are easy to wear. “The latest campaign is more relaxed and approachable. Definitely feel good fashion with a casual edge,” shares Brand Director Alex Mendoza. “Trends to look forward to over the year are more vivid use of colors, clean silhouettes, acid wash jeans and our highly popular varsity jackets.”

Consequently, PENSHOPPE kicks off its Pre-Summer 2012 campaign with a modern take on cheerful wardrobe fundamentals such as jeans, shirts, jackets and other signature style as fronted by the brand’s strongest brand presenters: Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick, Asian superstar Mario Maurer and local “it” girl Solenn Heussaff.

CASUAL COOL: The New Kind of HOT

There are many reasons why a smart, sensible guy’s girlfriend would take one long look at Ed Westwick’s latest campaign for PENSHOPPE and run to the store – boyfriend in tow. After his surreal visit to Manila last year much to the amazement of fans and fashion observers alike, it seems apparent that to create a Chuck Bass out of every guy became every girl’s 2012 resolution.

To start off the new year Ed remains as PENSHOPPE’s biggest level up ammunition and for one very good reason: There is no one out there who can pull it off the way Ed can.

Simply put, there is no other Chuck Bass.

Starting the New Year with a SMILE

If Ed Westwick is considered by many as PENSHOPPE’s marketing ammo, then it is fair to say that Asian heartthrob Mario Maurer is the brand’s sales catalyst. Soon after the 23 year old was signed last August sporting the brand’s now famous varsity jacket, the item immediately went out of stock – early on proving that anything the kid touches turns into gold.

And that was just the beginning. Indeed, anything that Mario wears from his PENSHOPPE collection sells fast: jacket, jeans, shirt, shoes, you name it - even a cap. Proving his incredible cult-like following among teenagers as well as young adults, anything he models are likely to fire up fans to line up and buy across PENSHOPPE stores nationwide.

It’s HIP to be “IT”

Solenn Heussaff is not just a pretty face – she is a powerful female influencer. Prior to her entry into local showbiz, it was PENSHOPPE who discovered her years ago when she was just modeling. Since then, Solenn has fronted some of the brand’s most memorable campaigns.

With more than 440,000 plus followers on Twitter to date, the French-Filipina has sure come a long way since first being discovered by PENSHOPPE. She also possesses a sophisticated personal style that makes her the perfect female lead for what is now considered the Philippines’ fashion powerhouse.

Underground

2012-01-15T23:25:00.005+08:00

I didn't get to take a more decent outfit shot this weekend but it's obvious that I can't stop wearing my Lita's and this necklace.

These photos were taken from the underpass going to Ayala Triangle. We had to walk because we parked the car on the other side. But since these Lita's are surprisingly comfy, the long walk wasn't that bad.

This weekend was great knowing that I have accomplished a lot. But why does it have to end so soon! So much to do so little time ayayay! So how was your weekend?

Biker Feel

2012-01-11T23:55:00.008+08:00

Feeling kinda tough today. The shoes and jacket seemed too edgy so I wore my floral and crochet shorts to soften it up a bit.

Jacket from Topshop, Shirt- Roberto Cavalli, Shorts- SM, Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell, Necklace- Karma

Obi belt from Terranova

Necklace from Karma

Lita's by Jeffrey Campbell

I have been busy coping up to finish the week's work load. I was home sick for 2 days and it sucked. Thanks to this Korean series "The City Hunter" for keeping me entertained while being horizontal 90% of the time. I loved it a lot that I was able to put up with the crappy subtitle.

You should watch it! I think it's airing in AbsCbn next week. The story is really nice and GOSH I fell in love with Lee Min Ho the first time I saw him. Sorry Allan =p My friends think it's weird that I've been watching Korean series lately but how can I not? Lee Min Ho hay kiliggg! Weird na kung weird haha!

So I guess I won't make it to Prive tonight. Are you guys going to the unFURgivable event?

One Sided

2012-01-07T16:30:00.003+08:00

Here's an OTD for today. I know I said something about wearing skirts more often and here's my first take on that. Of course I can't go out wearing a skirt this short. That's actually a pair of skorts (skirt and shorts) heeeh! Baby steps lol!

Top c/o Tomato clothing, Skorts from United colors of benetton, shoes from Iwantmyhoney.multiply.com, necklace from port88 bazaar

These shoes are very comfy! It also comes in diff colors. Check their website or head to rockwell if you want a pair.

After much TV time. I'll be out to meet up with my sisters for dinner. I hope you're having a great weekend so far.

Ciao! =)

To More Skirts!

2012-01-06T02:47:00.005+08:00

I did a little backtracking on my looks last year (ooooh last year! It seems weird referring to 2011 as last year!) and I realized I wore shorts too much! I can't promise to stay away from it but you can probably expect more skirts and dresses this year. =)

Bye 2011!

Weekend is going to be "How I met your mother" marathon. I'm trying to stay indoors to stop myself from spending and make up for what I spent over the holidays heeh!

Ciao for now bellas! Happy weekend!

Heavy Knit

2012-01-03T23:51:00.009+08:00

While it's still cold, I decided to put this heavy knit sweater to use. I love the details of it. I love how chunky sweaters serve as my saving grace when I'm just too lazy to dress up. It's naturally casual looking but with the right accessories and a little bit of mixing and matching you can still achieve the look that you're going for.

You probably won't believe it but this blue dress is actually a midi skirt. I just used a belt to shape the waist area. Belts do so much doesn't it?

Left most c/o Anagon, Love ring: jhajing.multiply.com, Anchor from Eastwood bazaar

Necklace from Karma, Belt from SM Accessories

Shoes from Urbanog.com

Lately, I have been beating myself up for taking my hair for granted for a long time. After much coloring, rebonding and perming I feel like it's screaming for attention now. This year, I actually have "Love your hair" in my list and right now, Lory's Brazilian hair spa is saving me from the fires of extremely dry hair. I am dying to get a permanent blow dry just because I feel that my hair needs more of a cure right now. But P10k-ish for hair is just too much for me. So for now, Lory's is my only option. I have heard a lot of good things about it so let's see what it can do for me. Thank you so much Lory's team for this! It's much much needed!

That's all for now. So how's 2012 treating you so far?

My Last Outfit Post For 2011

2011-12-31T18:29:00.008+08:00

Can you imagine the outfit just by looking at these clues?

2011 has been such a good year for me. I have gained so many friends, work is treating me well, Allan and I are never better and I've grown closer to my family too. Of course it wasn't peaches and perfection but I surely have nothing serious to complain about. I have learned so much and I can only be grateful!

It was last year when I started interacting with other bloggers. And I'm pretty sure it was about this time of the year that I got to meet them in person. I blog because it makes me happy. Knowing that people are reading makes it worth it and gaining friends out of this is just more than what I asked for and I will always be thankful.

Here's my last outfit post for the year!

Top and sweater: My sister's, Rings: various, Necklaces: c/o Anagon and SM Accessories, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Cross necklace c/o Anagon and the spiked ones are from SM Accessories

Thanks to everyone who took their time to visit my blog this year! I will try my very best to post visit worthy blog posts! Happy New year! Let the good times overflow for 2012! =)

The Burger Project

2011-12-30T13:33:00.007+08:00

Here's an OTD before I share my experience in Burger Project.

Top: Eunice's, Wide legged pants: SM, Turban: My own (I had it made and I'm selling some) Necklace: Parfois, Ring: Cosmo, Necklace used as a bracelet: SM Accessories

Being on vacation for a week is just what I needed! It gave me a chance to do things that I usually don't get to do. Just small things though. As small as organizing my closet, my desk, drawers-- throwing stuff. You know, things like that. Nothing really big. I actually came up with a list just to make sure I get it all done before the year ends. I love how I am able to make time for anything and everyone. The only other thing about being on vacation is the SPENDING! My pockets are cursing me right now! lol!

So about Burger Project, I went there together with my blogger friends after participating in the Sendong Relief Drive held in Moonleaf last week.

Have you been to this place before? If you haven't yet please go and try. It was my first time and I loved it. I love the idea of building your own burger. They'll give you a check list and this serves as your order form. You are to select everything that you want in your burger. The kind of bun, burger, kind of cheese, toppings and sauce.

But if you're just not that adventurous you can always pick among their list of designer burgers.

That's Ruben Lanot. He owns the place. Yeheees! Look who's on the cover! =)

The best part is you get to name your burger too! And if you like it that much you can order it again next time by giving out your burger name. How cool is that? I'll bug Allan to go with me and name a burger together. Cheesy!!! haha!

I shared a burger with Pax and we named it Paxie Corpuz -so lame! haha! But we can't think of any at that time so please forgive that. And because her hand writing sucks, the waiter came to serve our burger and said "Paxie Cutie?" What the hell? Corpuz-Cutie? haha ang layo! But if you wana try it by all means use Paxie Cutie. It has mozarella cheese, pesto sauce, jalapeno, angus beef, caramelized onions etc. Their serving is really big too. I might bring my cousins there when they visit from New York. The guys want big burgers! I'm sure they don't want to be disapointed like the last time when they ordered a "small mac" from somewhere. I don't want to mention where but ooops I think I just gave that out lol!

I said "burger" way too much in this post yes? burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger burger hungry yet?

If you're not too busy go to Maginhawa street. Burger Project is near Moonleaf. Enjoy your burger building experience!

Okay I'll stop now. =)

Christmas 2011

2011-12-29T12:42:00.008+08:00

Here's what I wore on Christmas eve.

Top, belt and shorts: all from SM, Bangles and bead necklace c/o Anagon, Shoes: Jessica Simpson Dany's

It is indeed the most wonderful time of the year! Our family had a nice dinner and then had wine and more food at 11pm. We opened our gifts at 12am just like every family does I guess.

It's always fun to spend time with kids on Christmas. I love my nephews so much and they never fail to make my day just seeing them so happy. And yes they loved my gifts! Achieve! I want to be the best tita in the world for them. =)

This cute boy was not in the mood. But guess what cheered him up! =) Kapagod ah!

Okay my turn naman! "faster!!!"

With Eunice. I changed to my ever dependable oxfords c/o Archive clothing. =)

Ken and Enzo look so happy!

Ella is my niece and she's super sungit! I was surprised when she smiled at the camera! Yes, Smile na nya yan! =)

This is my super cute nephew with his mommy, my sister, Anne. Most of the people we know from grade school and high school think we're twins. But that's just because she kept saying "Yes" when people ask if are.

My beautiful sisters with Eunice.

Goofing around with Enzo.

I told him that Santa will talk by 12am. lol! Look at that face!

This Santa is from Dapitan Arcade shopping center! I love that place! I wonder where this is going after Christmas! lol!

This is all for now. Will post an OTD later! And yes! Promise na Burger Project is up next! =)

Ciao bellas!

Bloggers United x Moonleaf for Sendong Victims

2011-12-26T10:04:00.010+08:00

Here's what I wore to the garage sale for a cause held in Moonleaf last Friday.

Bag- Liz Claiborne, scarf c/o Mango, necklace from Karma, shorts and top bazaar finds and belt from SM Accessories

I was watching the news a few days back and I've seen the heartbreaking footage of what happened in Mindanao. I was sitting and I thought- "who the hell am I and what the hell can I do?" and then I got a message from Melai of Style and Soul asking if I would want to participate in the Bloggers United Sendong relief drive. I was amazed by how quick that was. God must really want me to do something. And then I thought. I don't have to be someone so influential to help out. Anyone can do that. I got my answer so quickly and so I did.

Some photos during the event...

Thanks to Melai for letting me use her clothing rack!

That's Ana's fish bowl.

50 pesos nalang ang iphone at lumix camera na yan oh bili bili naaaa! =)

Active seller much!

Moonleaf sold books at 50 pesos each.

I sold stuff that I have left from the BU2. I had such a great time doing this together with Melai and Ana again!

I'm also very happy to meet other bloggers for the 1st time! =)

Met Helga! Love her hair!

And Angel too! She's super pretty!

Other bloggers that made it to the event.

Sarah sooo kyooot!!! I love her new hair!

We went to Burger Project for dinner after the event. I will share my burger building experience on a separate post.

Sadly I need to go to work today to make sure everything's dunzo for the month before I can enjoy my week long vacation. So ciao for now! Merry Christmas loves! =)

My 2011 Wish List

2011-12-20T17:13:00.005+08:00

Apparently it took me a while to come up with my list just because I want so many things haha!

Here's my wish list this Christmas!

1. I really want a nice indoor plant. I want it for that empty corner in my living room.
2. Yes! I want a Spanish learning software just because I had "Learn Spanish" listed in my 2012 goals!
3. I also want my own sewing machine and make lovely things.
4. Who doesn't want a pair of Lita's?
5. I want an ipod touch 4th gen so I can listen to podcasts and Spanish lessons.
6. I've been looking for a perfect and inexpensive nude pumps but until now to no avail so...
7. I always tell people this... "You don't have to but if you really want to give me something, you'll never go wrong with an SM GC!" hahaha! Just because I want to use it for SM accessories!

Oh and I also want this cross wedge from Soule Phenomenon! I actually ordered one and I can't wait to finally get it! Kilig!!! =0

Happy holidays to you guys! Spread the love!

OTD and Bloggers United CDO Initiative

2011-12-20T07:18:00.008+08:00

It's my last week at work and I cannot wait to finally be free from work fuss! Here's an overdue OTD.

Sunnies by Lulu Guiness c/o SM Accessories, Jacket from Peanut Butter and Jerry (multiply store), Shorts from Eastwood bazaar, shoes from iwantmyhoney- Rockwell, necklace from Parfois

And on a totally different note, I'm sure you guys all know about what's happening in CDO. I didn't want to post photos here because its just heartbreaking! I know I cannot just sit and do nothing. Last I heard there are 900+ people gone. This is way more than Ondoy and this is huge.

Bloggers United initiated a garage sale to help out our brothers and sisters in CDO. So please drop by MoonMoonleaf Tea Shop, Maginhawa Q.C. on Friday December 23, 2011 for the Bloggers United Garage Sale. Starts at 10am til 5ish. I'll be selling clothes together with the other bloggers. 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Sendong victims.

You can also drop by to send in your donations. And perhaps have some tea and chat while helping out yes? I really hope more people can come so we can put up funds for them. Let's all help out in our own little way.

Thanks and see you guys there!

All Prints

2011-12-12T07:23:00.006+08:00

When it comes to breakfast, Eggs Ben in CBTL is always a favorite! This is what I wore when I met up with friends for a morning chat last week.

I was in a hurry so I threw in a lazy outfit and used the scarf magic! aka "Anything you wear with scarf suddenly becomes lovely".

This scarf is my current fav! It's got all the prints I love! I got it from a friend during a bazaar at work.

These oxfords are super comfy!

top with detailed collar-thrifted, necklace from 101 new york, headband from Evita Peroni. Oxfords c/o Archive Clothing

And guys, guess where I got my shades from. =)

On a totally different note. I am loving my Ashley's lipgloss! This is also a nice giveaway for your friends. This cute cupcake shaped keychain with lipgloss that contains vitamin E and Petroleum Jelly that protects and moisturizes your lips is not bad for 50 pesos per piece.

I gave it out to my friends yesterday during our get together and at first they said "Thanks you didn't have to!" and then I followed it up with "That's a key chain and a lip gloss." and then I got "Oh really? Wow! Thanks! It's so cute! I wanna open it now yada yada!" I guess the first reaction was merely for the key chain and the second one was for the whole package lol!

Ashley's lipgloss is a cupcake shaped lip gloss in a keychain from International stores like NYK, Claire's, Sasa and many more! This is exclusively available in all Watsons/SM branches nationwide. Go check it out! =)

Ciao for now loves! So have you guessed where I got the shades na?

Bloggers United II

2011-12-05T23:15:00.013+08:00

Here's what I wore to the event...

Kashieca dress, hat from SM accessories, necklace from Karma, rings from Anagon and Jhajing, my Cigar box bag- gift from my lovely sister, shoes from Urbanog

Being a part of bloggers united is really a mix of a lot of feelings for me. From getting super excited and looking forward to it months ahead, getting tired of packing stuff while judging each item weather to let go or not, going gaga over the other blogger's stuff on the day of the event and being thrilled to meet people that actually reads your blog and meeting the ones behind the blogs that you follow yourself.

It is such a happy feeling knowing that while you're selling/ finding a new mom for your babies, while enjoying a great conversation with your readers and other bloggers, you not only make that extra money and make space for your closet but you know that while you get that numb arm from hanging so much clothes (not to mention refilling your rack everytime) you forget how tiring it is and how hungry you are because you see blogger friends and readers supporting eachother. There's just so much love around that you forget you skipped lunch and that you're wearing a five inch heels and that your feet are supposed to hurt. You keep going because you are having so much fun and deep down you are also reminded of the classrooms that are to be built by GMA Kapuso for the kids. It's such a nice feeling. A great way to start Christmas month yeah? I hope you guys had so much fun as I did. It was surreal! I am very much looking forward to the next!

I have and will never stop thanking Aisa, Melai and Ana for putting so much effort to this event. And of course without the sponsors all these are not possible.

I remember when we first did this in Honey's garrage where slowly the ideas poured and now we have BU to look forward to every year, hopefully every season (fashionweek lang lol). I miss you Honey! Sali ka na sabihin mo kay aisa sponsoran ang airfare from Kuwait lol!

That's me trying not to bug the girls checking the clothes...

Say hello to them bloggers =)

Oh hello there busy bee!

These girls can sing! I was blown away! Totally a goosebumps moment!

This should have been a nice photo kainis blurry! soyong!!!

Thanks to Catch, Vern, Ana, Jhoanna and Krissy for some of the photos! =)

BU3 please??? =)
