I wanted to become one of the best computer programmers back in college but after only a term, I realized that I'm more of a user so I decided to shift courses to study behaviors as my final degree. Almost 4 years since I left university, I am now an experienced banking professional. Life just turned differently for me. :) I'm climbing my way up to become a successful Investment Banker. And while I do that, I'm seeking for fun and different adventures on the side. Not that I have a boring life but work can take the life out of you sometimes. So basically this blog is about documenting everything that interests me. :) Posts are light and fuss-free. :) I'm open to suggestions so if you have any in mind, leave me a note below. :))

Romanticism

Wore my recent purchases to work today. I got this top at Warehouse. I’m drawn to anything with lace simply because it gives a hint of sophistication to an outfit. However, I paired it with my new trousers from Mango because I didn’t feel like wearing a skirt. I’m just not feeling dressy lately. Haha!

Wore this to a date with M and his mom. It’s Tita’s birthday today. We had lunch at Conti’s and watched The Vow. I’m still on leopard high so bear with me. :)

Minty Fresh

I decided to wear a green, beige and white combo for a refreshing look to end the week! Wore a tassel necklace to accentuate my top. I love the vintage design of this belt as it gives a sophisticated look on this semi casual ensemble. Finished it off with a beige Mary Janes.

Bold in Red

Wore a navy turtleneck and a red pencil skirt. I was too lazy to dress up because i’ll just be attending a training. Hope Friday inspires me to dress up to end the week. :)

Lacy Dressing 

I feel somewhat adventurous for wearing an all-lace ensemble to work today. I guess it’s a little unusual for me to see lace worn to work, especially in a corporate setting such as mine, unless it’s an inner top. I was actually wearing a dress and just overlapped it with my lace top and cinched it with a vintage belt. I also wanted to add layers of pearl necklaces but was afraid I’d look OTT. I say, simplicity is key to this look. :)

I wanted a comfortable outfit for my training so I opted for skinny trousers and sheer top.

This Polyvore set was made a few years back and was inspired by Zooey Deschanel’s quirky style.

LEOPARD

I wanted to visit Legaspi Organic Market but I didn’t know it’s not open on Saturdays. So we ended up taking photos at the park before watching a movie. It was a typical lazy day for us corporate slaves. :)

I love the combination of black and brown.

Made of pure leather. 

My favorite leopard flats. :)

HELLO, QUARTER LIFE!

Another realization that I’m maturing, I hardly party anymore. I’m done with getting all dressed up, spending late nights in clubs and getting a hangover the next day. Maybe a little once in a while isn’t so bad. But since my birthday fell on a Thursday and I’m trying to save, I don’t think there’ll be a party/celebration happening. Anyway, M and I had dinner at Papa John’s that night. :)

Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza

Cheese Sticks

One of my favorite beach clothing brands. :)
Yay for cute watch. :)
Thank you so much, hunie! I love you! :)
Happy Girl. :) Top: Amada Clothing | Necklace: Bubbles
