{ THE TOURIST }

We've been to Bohol on various occasions either for a wedding or engagement session but the place holds a beauty so dear that I still can't stop myself from abusing the shutter button of my camera.

One of the perks of out of town shoots is you get to discover really awesome places and meet really wonderful people who stuff you with really delicious and gastronomic meals. Really. Andaming really. haha

Thank you Melai and Ruel for showing us around and for making our job a million times easier. You're both fun to work with and the camera just loves you. :)

The Outfit:

Wore something light and breezy because it was specially hot that day. This skirt was of the perfect length; it's comfortably long enough to cover the knickers when I have to get down for a shot.

Plus the print was a no-brainer, I just had to wear it. 

Graphic skirt: thrifted , Gingham blouse: thrifted, Denim vest: thrifted, Boater hat: SM, Sunglasses: BTC, Camel sandals: Primadonna, Bag: Vintage

Looking at these photos from our short Moalboal trip makes me wish every week is a long weekend. August is blessed with four holidays all of which were luckily added to three of the four weekends. I guess I was just spoiled a  bit. Now it makes me sad that this weekend will be the last of that holiday. I will miss  this luxury of chill out time. :(

This was what I wore en route to Moalboal. Comfort and functionality should always be one's utmost priority when traveling. And with the surge of hot weather in Cebu, denim cut-offs is the way to go.  

Biggest bang for my buck: Kimono cover-up which I thrifted in Carbon a few months back.

Cute and fun accessories to keep up with the colorful and laidback vibe of the outfit. 

I used to have skinny legs back in college and wearing shorts was my biggest fashion frustration. Chicken legs leave an awkward gap in between legs and I hated that. So when I started to develop "healthy ones", I remember this is the first pair of shorts I used and abused. And yey they still fit me up to now although they're a little tight already on the midsection part. Someone needs to burn those excess calories asap. haha

I think Moalboal is the most accessible white sand beach outside of Metro Cebu. So it's our go-to place whenever we want a taste of the sand and sea. There are also a lot of interesting pit stops along the way (another reason why we love going back to this place :)) and one of this is the Molave Milk Station. Their homemade ice cream with goat's milk is so hard to resist we always make it a point to drop by.

{ TROPICAL PUNCH }

Currently on vacation mode because of the long weekend holiday. We drove down south for a beach trip; something we haven't done in a long time. :)

To keep up with the cherry mood, I made it a point to pack in all the colors for this outfit. Because color correlates to fun and happiness. :)

Remember Touch the color game in grade school?  It was my inspiration for this outfit. haha

Did my nails the night before our trip. I was scouring for a colorful nail polish and decided to try this one. When I woke up the next day, my sister was sporting the same nail color. Yes, both  mani and pedi. hahaha Twins ang peg.

Decided to go for neutral shoes, bag, and straw hat to balance out the blinding color. 

Thrifted bag. Such a classic. :)

I have to hold my breath here coz my top is so body hugging it's outright unforgiving! haha 

More of my beach weekend trip on my next post! 

P.S. I've decided to increase the size of my photos for clearer details. And because I'm just so vain. Duh! haha

I hope you guys liked them. :)

BLOGGERS UNITED 3: PHOTO RUNDOWN

Enough with all this toxic schedule for now. Let me take a break first from my work and business commitments to bring to you guys the photo rundown from the recently concluded mother of all bazaars, the Bloggers United Three. 


First things first, the outfit. Decided to go all lady-like  coz I wanna post photos from this event on my scrapbook for all my future grandchildren to see. So I went for the classic and timeless look. haha


Wearing a salmon backless dress (yes, that was supposed to be backless) but worn with a black lace inner to desexify the dress. 

Paired with shoes which I snatched from Patricia Prieto's closet. Bought before the bazaar opened. Yikes, Andaya! lol

Accessorized with pearl necklace and ring from SM, turquoise skull bracelet and orange earrings from 168, gold bracelet from Lushae jewelry, and Cat Eye sunglasses from Fly 




SO ON TO THE MAIN EVENT!!!
