{ OFF DUTY G.I. JANE }

You may have noticed by now my erratic style of dressing. One day I'm all dressed up in a corporate attire and the other dressed down and edgy. My work entails dealing with various government agencies and because of that I have to conform with the normally "normal" way of dressing up. Hence, boots are a no-no. Only  pumps and normal-looking heels. Classic dresses and blazers are the way to go too. 
But come weekends, I can be whatever I wanna be. I can dress up according to my mood. It's not that I don't like my choice of clothes during work days, but I just hate the rules that goes with it. 
For this outfit, I was inspired by the model off-duty streetstyle look. I've always been partial to military pieces so I added this jacket to toughen up the basic short-shirt combo. And to veer away from the normal shoes, I opted for this leopard booties. 
I'm sure the conservative people from work who sees me in this kind outfit would surely get shocked but what the heck, my world does not revolve around my work. I am entitled to be "me".

Saturday mornings are usually spent shooting weddings. Today was an exception. The boyfriend and I had a sumptuous brunch together before he headed off to his project. He told me to get the day-off. So I'm gonna go prepare the DVD and have a City Hunter (this Korean series I'm currently addicted to!) marathon until he finishes the shoot.  Then we'll have  dinner and sundae at Cafe Maru later in the day.

Life is simple but beautiful.

Happy Saturday, everyone! :)

Survived a health scare this week. I think stress was a big factor. It has been one hell of a busy week and my body sort of warned me to slow down and relax. But how can I relax when next week and the whole month of December and January is already planned out. But all these work are blessings from the heavens so I will just have to embrace everything and maybe listened to the doctor's advice to drink a lot of water and avoid salty food. Eeeek! The first one I can probably do but the second one? I don't know I think I'm not yet ready to give up on junk food. So help me God.


P.S. It may have looked like I was relaxing at the beautiful  Shangri-la but I was actually working on a shoot here. This even conflicted with the bloggers photoshoot for a newspaper feature in which i was supposedly part of :( But hey there's always next time.

It was 11.11.11 and my officemates and I wanna do something out of the ordinary. We are never the party animal kind and I think the last time we were out together for this kind of fun was like 2 years ago. HAHA Yes, it's just not our thing although we can really party if we want to although at least after the help of beer when we are tipsy enough to let out our groove. 

It was past 3 am when we were sweating like hell already and the alcohol must have faded out on us coz we suddenly hated all the smoke and blinding light. So we headed out for pizza across the street then had coffee and pancakes at McDonald's till 5:00 am. I had sore throat later in the morning when I woke up but hey I had tons of fun last night that I really can't complain. :)

How about you guys, how did you spend your 11.11.11? :)

{DENIM + COLOR + DENIM}

Went home at 4am the following day after the BenMore event. I stole 5 hours of sleep then prepped for another client shoot. I love Sundays so much but sometimes the idea that Monday is only a day away makes me cringe and say a little prayer hoping the day will go by slowly. So many things to do, so little time. 


Tried the denim on denim look. They said the two shouldn't be worn at the same time but who cares about rules. I chose to balance the whole thing with color coz I know the boyfriend will tease me about lacking a hat to complete the cowgirl look. haha
