Andrei's 1st birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDREI!!! :D

It's my godchild's first birthday!!! 

It was a Sesame Street-themed birthday party held at Quezon City Sports Club. Most of the guests were relatives of the parents; some were friends (us included). Some of the ninangs and ninongs were present, some weren't. But Keith and I were present! :)

Here's the cute little boy!!! (Grabe Cams, parang kelan lang yung baby shower mo! Laki na agad ni Andrei!) And yes, he's curly. He got it from her Mom. He's a very good boy, too. I've never seen him irritable or heard him cry even once on that afternoon!

As for my outfit post:

I wore a soft, thrifted, semi-sheer (if there's such term) white blouse and a coral-colored shorts today. I didn't want to go all out since it's a kid's birthday party so I wore my brown lace-up oxfords/ankle booties instead of heels (although that was the plan).

My blouse has a vintage feel, probably because of the embroidery details on the collar and the part where buttons are placed. I used a pastel-themed necklace which consists of pearls and beads. This necklace is DIY and will be sold in my next collection that will be released anytime this week. :)

This coral-colored shorts (which you have seen in my former post as my recent purchase) that has laser-cut details on its hem is my current favorite. Apart from its details and color, it has an easy, breezy feel to it which I love. This shorts can go from day-to-night if accessorized properly and mixed with other items accordingly. :)

My current alternative to flats: my oxfords-slash-ankle booties. I actually bought this pair for the sole reason that it would look good on the dress that my uncle gave me. Very Taylor Swift-ish. But I realized that this pair can go not just from rugged-ish/casual to semi-formal/formal, depending on how you will dress it up. I was kind of hesitant to wear it with my outfit because I have a feeling they won't look good together because the outfit was giving a chic, feminine vibe. But hey, in dressing up, one should take chances, too! So I did. When I looked at the mirror, voila, they fit together! The shoes gave a more relaxed vibe to the femininity of the whole ensemble.

Umarte some more.

And that's how my Sunday went. Tomorrow is a holiday -- Chinese New Year -- so I'm going to sleep a little late and watch City Hunter with my brother. :) Later, everyone! Kung Hei Fat Choi! :)

Saturday Favorites 001

(In random).

1. My Tumblr account!

Yeah, I eventually gave in to Tumblr. I initially didn't want to but the files I had accumulated through my reflex of right-clicking and saving photos I find on the internet has got to go somewhere more permanent. And to eventually unclog my hard drive. :) I had so much fun reblogging and posting photos though that I didn't realize I stayed up until 1 or 2 AM on the first two nights I have tried it. Haha! Now, I have to limit myself! Hahaha!

2. It's more fun in the Philippines

These are just some of the photos I found. It became so controversial though because they say it is an imitation of what Switzerland had 40-50 years ago. True enough, there were evidences found but who knows, maybe our Tourism department just thought of the exact same thing? The tag line itself is pretty much easy to come up with. Anyway, there are a lot of variations came thereafter. A lot of cute and funny variations.

(Sheer tops) Set 1,  Set 2, Set 3 - printed maxi skirt, sheer white top, sheer dress, navy blue sheer top, more sheer tops

3. Cobalt Blue, Coral and Sheer

MY CURRENT OBSESSION!!! I actually bought two more (see below) sheer fabrics in gray and coral and one more spandex fabric in cobalt blue (In additional to the two sheer fabrics in black and brown animal print and two spandex fabric in mustard and black that I bought early December, I think. You've seen the finished product of the mustard and black sheer fabrics here.). 

Yes, I have a new mantra in purchasing clothes now: Buy fabric and have clothes tailor-made and lessen purchase in malls or stores. With that, I get to design personally my regular, everyday clothing! Yayyyyy! :)

Concept. Clothing items and accessories used. How strong the photography speaks. Art. Creativity. Vision. These are what I liked in these editorials.

5. Random buy: new phone

Mine's black. :) Qwerty keypad. 5MP camera. Good sound quality. Touch screen (Never a fan of touch screen for texting so thanks to the QWERTY keypad but I'm practicing the touch screen texting though. The touch screen texting is easier with this phone because the letters are in a regular phone format, unlike other phones that are in QWERTY which is harder to touch the letters. But you know, that's just me. To each their own. Whatever works for you.). Auto-rotate. Document reader. I haven't tinkered with it much yet so click here to know more. :)
