Cropped And Short

Cropped top and shorts are the perfect tandem for that comfy and laid back feel. Paired it with a good strutting flats then you're good to go.

How I love the color and structure combination of this outfit. The cropped top gives my look a fresh feel and a little peek-a-boo that makes this outfit get instant and second glances! Wink!

Then I paired it with a floral shorts to add some printed details into my look and then finished it off with a pair of not so deadly spikey flats. The spikes of my flats are not so pointy so, it's harmless. Lol! :) My outfit got a fresh and edgy feel thanks to my spikey orange flats! :)

He & She

Hello! Sorry this blog has been in a hiatus for a month. I don't know what has gotten me that took me forever  to post a blog again. Hehehe. :) But, hey! hey! hey! I'm back on track! And this new post is about something fresh for a change. Why fresh? Read more! :)

  Since we all know that I am posting my looks here, why not post something new with the outfit look of my everyday buddy, best friend, and lover Lance. I'm sure that Lance will get kilig once he read this. Hahahaha! :D He didn't ask me to do this blog, He doesn't even know about this so.... LAGOT AKO! Choz!  

On Nadine:

Well, my mood that day decided for a white crisp polo to act as the biggest character of my look.

I went for color blocking and played with gray, black, brown, and white colors. 

Gray + Black + White = The safest colors to do a color blocking. Add some brown hint to add a pop of contrast.

The color of my accessories and bag are shouting for class and simplicity, don't you think? :)

Oh, that white oxford shoes! One of my favorites in my oxford shoes collection. So stylish, unique, and comfy!

On Lance:

"High school boy" that's how I describe this look. Hahaha! :D 

Gumaganon na pose! Hahaha! :D  Well, I think the design and style of his chosen wardrobes for this look made him look like a high school boy. Fresh and comfy. And yea, I admit this kind of outfit is really fits him.

Speaking of Superb by Super Sale Bazaar, there will be another Superb Bazaar event happening on October 19-21, 2012 at WTC! Lance and I(or should I say, just "I") are really fond of going to Bazaars like this. Everything is so nice and affordable! Wanna know what happened the last time we went shopping at Superb Bazaar?

This must be an early shopping pre-birthday treat for myself! See you there! :)

That Floral Pants

Hello! It's been uhmmm, almost two months since I posted a look post here. Well, I don't know. Maybe it's because I've been pre-occupied with my bed, movies and food lately. In short, I'm a certified bummer. Haha! :D And because I finally graduated, I am now pressured to hunt for a job. Hihi :) 

Now, let's get down to my look. Shall we?

I don't know what's got into me that day when I grabbed these floral pants and sheer button down from my wardrobe closet. All I know was I need to go to school that day and will head to Urban Bazaar at Rockwell after finishing some errands. So yeah, I think, grabbing these floral pants was the perfect choice.

I want my pants to stand out because my pants are shouting for floral prints. The peach sheer top is just plain and classic that's why when I paired these two pieces it surprisingly worked together.

for my accessories,  I used gold and earth tone colors. My favorite part of this look aside from the floral pants is the belt. It was a pasalubong for me when Lance went to the province of Marinduque. that belt t is actually one of my favorites. Such an eye candy! :)

This pair of oxford heels from Primadonna is just perfect for my style. I can wear this pair of babies in any kinds of laid back or hippie style that I always root for :)

I know, I know. I always use that sling bag. It's one of my favorite and overused bags. But blame me, that sling bag is very versatile and I can actually load stuff inside including my digicam and blackberry plus it always match my outfits. *wink* Thank God, I didn't have second thoughts of buying that bag when I was in Dakak Resort Souvenir shop. *wink wink* Haha! :D

While I was checking my outfit shots, I was a bit surprised that my look here was somewhat similar to Tricia Gosingtian's style. I've been an avid follower of her since early 2011 and she's one of my top fashion icons! And Tricia's style is more on laces, florals, and button-downs. Teehee! ;)

Hope you guys had a great day today!

Yabu: The House of Katsu

Hello! Have you heard this restaurant called Yabu? If not, well, this blog post will introduce to you what most people are raving about. And Lance and I are one of them. :)

Yabu: The House of Katsu. I had heard and read nothing but good reviews about this restaurant. and of course, I should try and dine in this restaurant even if it's quite far from Makati. (Yes, from Makati to Mandaluyong is too far for me already! Anong say ng katamaran ko? Haha!)

 Meet the authentic japanese condiments family. Hahaha! :D

Our food attendant told us that their Katsu should be paired with their katsu sauce. First, grind the black and white sesames that they will give you until it is fine powder then pour in three or four tablespoons of their katsu sauce then of course, dip in your mouth-watering katsudon into your pure-of-effort-grinding-katsudon-sauce. Hahaha! :D

I ordered Creamy Dory Katsudon Set.  All of their katsudon sets consists of  Miso Soup, Japanese Pickles, Sliced Fruits(watermelon and pineapples), Unlimited Cabbage, and Unlimited Rice. The Unlimited Cabbage can be paired with the Japanese Mayo or Vinaigrette or you can mix these both in your cabbage. Nomnom! :D

My Creamy Dory Katsudon. Saraaaappp!

Their authentic japanese rice with black sesame :)

 And Lance ordered Rosu Katsudon Set.

I can say that our set was sulit na sulit! From the taste of katsudon dipped into their katsudon sauce, the unlimited japanese rice, then the unlimited cabbage was totally worth it! 

Two hungry and full kids flock together! Hahaha! Charot!

Tadaaaahh! my finished empty set. A proof that their katsu has the best taste ever!

Can't wait to visit them again and try other katsu sets.

P.S. My tummy is crumbling again while making this post :)
P.P.S Sorry for the blurry pictures. I admit, I'm not a great photographer. Hihi ;p

Yabu: The House of Katsu is located at
2nd Floor, Mega Atrium, SM Megamall

I am on my way now

Pausing the moment. Absorbing...

My days as a college student can be counted in a hand. Internship ended last month, I got my toga last Wednesday, I took the last exit exam last Thursday, will have our Baccalaureate Mass  on Wednesday (August 22) and finally, Graduation Ceremony on Thursday (August 23).

It's ending....and it's bittersweet.

Everything is so fast-paced. Last year, I started to unleash the best version of my studious self. All I wanted was to get over with feasibility and be an intern. Now, internship is through, and when I got my toga last Wednesday, it finally sank in, 

 I am graduating.

It’s exciting and frightening at the same time knowing I am getting what I had my hopes high for.

It’s true, every beginning comes from other beginning’s end. When one door closes, another one opens. Seeing things ending and beginning at the same time makes me emotional.

My view about the future, I realized, was too ideal. but at this moment, I am still holding it, but I am holding it loose. I'll just let things fall into place. For whatever happens, I am on my way now.  And I am happy with that already.

And I will make sure that i will never cut ties to TRUE people who were part of this closing journey. 

Good luck and I wish us all the best, graduates!

P.S. I am having my pre-graduation jitters and nostalgic memories while typing this post. :")

Bulgogi Brothers

 If you know me pretty well, I am a sucker of Korean and Japanese foods. I could eat these kind of foods everyday. For authentic Korean foods, My family and I always go for Kaya Restaurant. But trying out something new isn't a big deal. And since Bulgogi Brothers came into Manila, I know that this restaurant is a really MUST TRY!

 My forever food buddy, Lance was with me to try Bulgogi Brother's dishes. We ate at the Bulgogi Brother's branch at Greenbelt 5.

So for starters, they gave us these complimentary dish that consists of Corn, Sweet Potatoes and Quail Eggs.

Oksusu Cha(Corn Tea) tastes like roasted corn in sticks. This tea is good for diabetes and some illnesses(which I forgot) and it's for free too! 

And another set of order-all-you-can complimentary foods. The salad on the left side was my favorite. It's sweet, soury and spicy. :) You can never have a dull moment munching these complimentary while waiting for your orders.

Our first order was Unyang Style Bulgogi. Well first, I chose this because it is heart-shaped. And our food  attendant recommended it. So yes, Lance and I gave it a try!

Uhhm. Well, it doesn't look a heart-shaped anymore. BUT, it tastes really really good. This set comes with a bowl of sticky rice. The heart-shaped patty paired in their authentic sticky rice....Ahhhh! It tastes really awesome. And I think, it replaced Pepper Lunch in my heart. Hahaha! Kiddin! :)

Look at those two hungry kids! Haha! :D 

And our second and last order, Bulgogi Bibimbap. My all-time favorite korean food aside from Japchae. :D This dish is good for two and you'll definitely run out of words to describe how dang good the taste of dish is!

Look at my plates, Uhm.... :)

The ambiance, the friendly food attendants, the awesome dishes. and the order-all-you-can complimentary dishes are the reasons why would we definitely come back and crave for more. 'til next time, Bulgogi Brothers! :)

Hey, I heard you like the wild ones

Animal prints are too mainstream nowadays, From Magazines, Runways, Fashion Blogs and even a background in a twitter profile! Haha! :D I love animal prints especially leopard prints. These kind of prints makes me a little bit of wild and sexy, Haha! But seriously, these prints makes our garments more fashionable in a snap.

For my look, Turquoise leopard mullet top paired with a violet leggings. (These are my two favorite colors if you will ask me.) I did not have any second thoughts of pairing these two colors because I know it will match together. It's like color blocking but with a hint of print.

for my accessories, I used candy-colored gum drop bracelet that I got from Baguio last year.  and this gold star ring that I got from Superb Sale Bazaar last May :) I kept my accessories simple but bright so that my top will still get the attention.

Then I used my favorite sling bag and brown gladiator heels. The result? Casual but classy. Agree? :)

if you're having trouble of pairing what kind of accessories to pair with this kind of colors, use earth-tone hues to keep it safe but if you're getting extra playful, pair it with neon colors like bright pink or lime green to achieve the playful look that you're rooting for.
