Waiting...

Waiting for a thunderstorm to pass before going out for dinner and drinks. Wearing F21 Cotton Skirt & Burnout Tank, AA Suspenders & Bandeau:

Philippines, Beach & Green Mango Shake

Local green mango shakes are my favorite drinks in the Philippines. Made from unripe mangoes, these refreshing smoothies taste like sour green apples with a hint of fragrant mangoes.

Enjoying a tart, slightly sweet green mango shake at a beach side cafe in Punta Fuego. Wearing : UO Dress, Dior Shades.

Work Wardrobe Chronicle, the Shirt Dress

A combination of work, chilly temperatures, and chronic rain has gotten me down. This usually translates to extra snoozes in the morning. When I'm running late to work, shirt dresses are always my first pick because they save me the trouble of having to put together an outfit.

I realize that my fashion posts have been lackluster and slightly infrequent. I've been wearing a ton of black due to aforementioned reasons, and in pictures they show up as inky blocks and all details are lost. Hope to be out of this funk soon!

Petals & Tights

Weather in NYC has been pure crap for over a week.   I started a new job,  which has kept me very busy.   Went out for drinks for the fifth night in a row (I'm ready for a break).   Here's what I wore :  AA Tee,   F21 Skirt,   AA Tights.   The skirt reminds of elementary school.   

Philippines, Punta Fuego

Three hours, and one buko ( coconut ) pie after leaving Manila, we arrive at Punta Fuego.  This resort of private villas, guest houses, secluded beaches, and dramatic cliffs, is very reasonably priced by US standards.  For a few hundred dollars per weekend, a huge, gorgeous Spanish style house with a small stretch of beach can be rented.  

We stayed in a one bedroom casita ( equipped with a bathroom that had its own garden ) and made trips to hang out at the beautiful houses that F and P rented with their families.   Our first glimpse of sunset at Punta Fuego :

Sparkles & Shimmer
