DIY bag

Hi, everyone! As you may know from my Instagram (here) account, I posted a picture of my DIY project a couple days ago. Here today on my blog I'm now showing you the final results.

Here it is, my DIY tote bag!  It's a faux leather material (I got from Joann's fabric store when I was still back in the states). When I bought this material, I had no intention to make it into a bag.  At the time, it was a project that I never got a chance to go through it. I can't remember what project I originally intended, but I'm happy with this project.  I'm very satisfied about how it turned out as a bag.  who wouldn't be happy with this? I mean, created something that I can actually use everyday, right?

I'm hoping I can find more time to make more DIY projects like this!  It's hard because it's very time consuming. Oh well, at least I finished something I can be proud of and inspired by :).

Have an awesome weekend everyone!

3 ways to wear (Shift Dress)

Hi, loves! I am back! First of all I wanted to thank all of you who wished me luck on my last post. Just a little update about my mom, she's doing fine now. Hopefully her papers will be complete before the end of the year. If all goes well, she will be staying with me for as long as she wants.

Any how, back to the focus of this blog! Since I was absent for a long time, I decided to make it up to you guys. Here's my 3 ways (I know it's been a while since the last one). To recap, the 3 ways is about how to take a single clothing item and maximize it into 3 different outfits. This post is for some of you planning to go vacation (like me). Since I'll be going to a city, I chose a shift dress that I can layer to accommodate different types of activities I am planning to do. 

Outfit 1: Dress (out of stock) similar here Promod Skirt (Philippine brand) similar here Mango Sunnies Topshop Purse LV Sandals: Zara

First, I will probably check the local attractions. This mean lots of walking and pair of flat sandals is essential. And of course, you've got to protect those beautiful eyes from sun rays while checking out the local souvenir stores.

Outfit 2: Dress Promod Demin Vest & Purse Target Wedges similar here Mango Touch

Second, shopping, shopping and shopping did I say shopping yet? Yup, checking out the shopping places is a must :). On this one, because the dress is tiny bit body hugging, I added a denim vest and a pair of wedges to make the look casual and not too "sexy" for day time.

Outfit 3: Dress Promod Jacket (old) similar F21 Necklace flea market from Philippines Clutch DIY Shoes (old) similar here Zara

Third, of course if you're travelling with loved ones, a group of friends or, in my case, with Hubby, you have got to have a night out. To try the local restaurant, night club or whatever is the "night out" means for you. I added black jacket, black heels and because the rest of my outfit is simple I let the necklace do the statement.

There you go, one dress, 3 outfits. Remember, packing and outfit planning ahead of time is the key to making the trip easy and simple. How about you guys, how do you plan your outfits when traveling?

Thanks for visiting!

Hello lovelies! If you're in the US, how was your 3 day weekend? My family and I spent our weekend going places. We had fun exploring, learning about the places we went to and of course eating out! (my favorite part of all :)). This is what I wore the other day. The top is actually a romper but because we also went to church that day I made it appropriate by adding a skirt. Before we left the house my husband asked me if the top was new. I said no, it's actually two years old. Right away I thought to myself... this is a cute romper and pretty comfortable too, how come I never wear it?  When were in the restaurant, I had to use the bathroom, that's when I found out the answer to my question. I almost peed on myself before I could take off all the layers of clothes and plus the complicated romper. Lesson learned don't drink lots of fluid when you're wearing a romper, lol.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day! Xoxo

Hello, everyone! Sorry for the looong silent here on my blog. My Husband graduated from University of Phoenix on his Masters last weekend. I was really happy that the whole family was there to support especially his parents who flew all the way from Guam to celebrate the special occasion with us.
Anyways, this is what I wore on my Hubby's graduation day. Ladies, let me tell you.. this skirt is my new ultimate favorite staple this summer! :) I think you're going to see more of this skirt in my next outfit post :D. I like how the skirt has a "flirty" flow :). Because I was wearing two patterns I add a solid color jacket and a neutral shoes to allow the visual space of my outfit to be broken up. How did you like my mixing patterns style? ;D

Thanks for visiting! Have a great weekend, everyone! Xoxo
