i cannot help but share. since school started in june, i have been on the look-out for liquids that i could bring to school to keep me hydrated. our classes fall on merienda-dinner time and if i don't drink, i would eat. and i would rather drink than eat. i have tried bringing water, but i am adhd and i get bored. i drink coffee, instant, most of the times, but it just makes me more dehydrated, and drowsy. i tried fit and right but it's expensive, very small and leaves me a scratchy throat.

good thing there's smartC. this is not an advertisement ha. i just had to share because every time i drink this fruit juice, i get happy and makes me alert and listen well to the teacher. it helps that the bottle comes in pastel colors. for 500ml, i pay only p22 (at 360 pharmacy). i say it's value for my money. smartC comes in three flavors: orange, lemon, and grapefruit. they are all delicious.

haay.. i've no internet connection for almost two weeks now, and globelines is taking long to send their technicians to fix my connection. there's a storm again.

okay...another tassel post. :) sorry, i couldn't help. i found the tassel cute. this time worn as a necklace with vintage fuchsia (i was tempted to just write "red") top, thrifted tulip skirt, and brown flats.

happy weekend!

yesterday, i was just wearing all things i thought were comfortable for walking the streets of downtown cebu for an errand. i also wore, for the first time, the tassels i bought two weeks ago. tassel earrings have been quite a range lately, but i've seen them in magazines some years back. for these tassel earrings, i just hang them in a pair of gold earrings. very quick and inexpensive.

Black & Blue & A Thrifted Shoe

For fear of being called unexpectedly in class, most of us follow the "corporate attire" dress code. for wednesday, i wore these thrifted salvatore ferragamo shoes for the first time. i bought these pair in baguio for p100. very cheap but still very wearable. only they were very dirty and i had to scrub and scrub to clean them.

now i have 1 reason to go back to baguio: thrifted shoes. more pictures of our baguio trips are found here, here, here, and here

top - thrifted

skirt - vintage

shoes - thrifted

another white top and jeans combination. why? because it's just a classic. but this time a pair of wide-legged jeans that reminded me of the 70s (ok, why would that remind me of the 70s when I have not been to the 70s). anyhow, i think wide-legged jeans are classic vintage. mine are not vintage though. i bought them at a thrift store some months back but never got (the courage) to wear them for fear of being "not on trend." but what the heck, trends come and go. and, if you have thick and short legs like me, wide-legged pants are a good way of making you look taller and slimmer. find one that's sits on your natural waist, and not on your hips. and in a dark shade of denim.

One of my friend commented that I was wearing a Filipiniana. I had to laugh hard inside because I did not mean to be wearing a Filipiniana, or a derivation thereof. I meant to be wearing a see-through bohemian cream mini dress tucked inside a pair of jeans. I was really LOL-ing inside. :D I realized fashion/style is subjective. One person's bohemian is another person's Filipiniana.

vintage [clothes], vintage-inspired [glasses], crafty things [for DIY], and new [gifts!]. I hope this rainy July will be A-okay.

Do not wear this outfit when you'll be getting a medical physical exam, it's difficult to remove for X-ray. But wear this outfit when you have time to walk four blocks on a slightly rainy afternoon under your pink umbrella humming your favorites songs and at the end of the road you'll be meeting the love of your life who will treat you to a nutella crepe, it won't matter when he won't understand the white piece of cloth attached to the dress.
