You Only Live Once

I am currently fixated with these YOLO wallpapers. It does have this vintage and contemporary feel that came together so well.  It is so stylish too like me. haha. When I stare at my desktop(because it is my desktop wallpaper), it has this flair that takes me in a relaxed state and of exuberance.

You only live once so seize the day.

P.S. I don't intend to own the rights to these wallpapers.

The Congressman

Yesterday, I attended my cousin's wedding at Bulacan. I must say I enjoyed the whole event but the weather was just so unforgiving. Super hot! And to add more I needed to wear "Barong Tagalog" which is our National Costume and the dress code for the nuptials. It is a little uncomfortable wearing it because it has a fairly rough surface which creates friction against your skin. But as the saying goes fake it 'til you make it! I looked like a politician or a congressman in it. Here in the Philippines, politicians traditionally wear this to events and the like so yes you can say that.

To the newlyweds Nikki and Bryan, I wish them patience and understanding. They will need that. Haha.

I Dream A Dream

Digging this look. This button down from Penshoppe is my favorite haul from my Christmas shopping. Honestly, I have been hunting for this but because it's quite pricey I kind off took it off from my list. But when I randomly checked it at a store it was just only for 499 bucks from 1,199. Talking about luck.

You can dress this down or up. Dress this down by pairing it with a khaki shorts and a top sider. Or go preppy by putting a tie and tuck it in your tailored pants with a slim belt paired with black brogue shoes.

Hype this on LookBook HERE.

We try to make it on our own. Decisions need to be made. Focusing ourselves to self improvement and growth is one of the many things we want to accomplish as we go along. Sometimes, we compare our current situations with others but I think we shouldn't. Makes us unhappy and miserable. Only should we compare our current status to our past.

The past days I have been in a dark cloud, of all the pressure and the imperceptible future. I’m so serious eh?

I know I can get through. Yes, that's the spirit!

I just put this note to myself: If your dreams don’t scare you they’re not big enough.

Good Fashion Read

I bought this book for only 30 pesos from National Bookstore's book sale! I immediately picked this up because I thought the name was utterly familiar. Though not sure where I heard that name, but I certainly know that it has something to do with fashion.

Right, I tried to recall Nina Garcia mentioning her name from a back episode of Project Runway. Happy for this find!

Make me dream Catherine Malandrino.
