The heat is on!

Hey, loves! I'm pretty sure, I'm not the only one who can already feel the summer heat! The holidays are long gone and so is the cool weather (in the Philippines, at least!). That means summer is just a few months away! Who's excited for the beach?! I know I am! ;-) Anyway, the weather now calls for my favorite: shorts! I love wearing shorts 'cause they're too versatile. Now, I went for the laid back-slash-lazy look (again) and wore a pair of high-waisted ones paired with a loose shirt and my favorite, wedge sneakers!

What I love when I am wearing high-waisted shorts is that it gives the illusion that I'm taller that I am. And the wedge sneakers? The real thing: added height! Ha, I really am taller! These two combined is something a 5'2" like me needs! Haha.

Circles and Sequins

Top: Get it here; Shorts: Armani Jeans; Sandals: My friend Tisha's; Necklace: Girl Shoppe

I'm sure you still remember the shoot we had a month ago for my friend's online store. I just realized that there are still a couple of outfit photos left for me to show you guys. Here's one of them. I think this outfit is perfect for those days when you are so lazy to dress up but just have to.

 

The print of this top would do the trick. I love how some of the circles are made of sequins. It added the much needed sparkle to the look, don't you think?

It's the top that counts.

Top: Get it here; Cropped shorts: Armani Jeans; Sandals: My friend Tisha's; Necklace: Girl Shoppe

I don't know why but there is something in this look that made me remember my friends. Maybe because this is something that I would probably wear when I am to spend a day with them to do nothing but talk and catch up over coffee. Very effortless and simple, perfect outfit for one lazy day. Don't you think?

Of course, this look wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the top. I mean imagine if it's just a plain boring one instead of this printed one. I'm sure you loves are already aware that it's for sale. The online shop belongs to my friend Tisha. Go check it out!

Pink Blossoms

Floral top: Buy it here; Cropped shorts: Armani Jeans; Color block heels: Brash 'Jupiter'

Modeled the same top in different colors!

Recently, I've been blogging about the shoot my friends and I had for an upcoming online store. Just yesterday, Tisha opened the store already. If you wanna see the rest of her first collection, click here.

Now let me tell you about the top I'm wearing here. One of the current trends this season is prints and this floral top is just perfect! The print on this top is not your usual florals (if you know what I mean when I said usual!) and that's why I love it so much! Also, the pink on turquoise combination is to die for! It's just so nice to look at, don't you think?

I wanted to dress down the top a bit so I paired it with denim shorts. I also wore those lovely heels which I think are made for the top. They're meant for each other! I mean don't you just love how it matches the prints on the top? I think it made the prints stand out even more. The colors are so bright and happy! Um, someone please remind me again why I didn't buy this top. :/

Anyway, if you're the type of person who is afraid to wear bright colored clothes, don't fret. The top is also available in black. :)

What do you guys think?

Sneakers Kind of Day

Cropped top: DIY from an old Junk Food shirt; Denim cutoffs: Armani Jeans

Yesterday, I went to my friend Tisha's place for a shoot for her upcoming online store. I, together with Weng and Ayie, modeled the clothes. Harhar. I know what you're thinking: A 5'2" model? Um, yeah. Nothing is impossible, you see! Heels were my best friend yesterday! It was so much fun -- modeling for the first time, goofing around with friends, laughing our hearts out, and catching up after not seeing each other for three months.

Anyway, before I get too emotional here, let's move on to my outfit. Since I know that I will be changing my clothes too many times, I decided to wear something really comfy, something that won't give me a difficult time to remove nor wear countless times.

  

Printed bandeau: Forever 21; DIY studs

See that cropped top I'm wearing? I was the only one who cut those! My friends even had their shirts cut by my proud self. :D And remember the three pairs of shorts I mentioned here and here? Here's the third and my favourite pair!

Sneakers: Converse Chuck Taylor

To complete my outfit, I donned on my really old pair of trusty Chucks. It's been years since I last wore these and yesterday, I just felt like wearing 'em. I thought that it looks good with my outfit too, instead of my overused booties that I'm sure you guys are tired of seeing me in.

Skull bracelet: Rebel Gear; Black beaded bracelets: DIY; Friendship bracelet: Girl Shoppe; 'mica' bangle: Had it made from a high school friend!

Lastly, accessories. I kept them to a minimum since I'll be removing them once I start to dress up for the shoot anyway. Just a few bracelets in colors from my top.

Halfway through the shoot, I found time to goof around with the huge mirror that my friend Rowena and I loved so much! Haha. Tomorrow, I just might post behind the scenes photos and photos of my crazy friends! 

My tired self after the shoot!

Yesterday was too tiring but it was all worth it! I'll tell you more about it and Tisha's online store tomorrow!
