Awake, Alive and Blessed

Three sentiments I felt during the first ever Tumblr Fair last August 4th. It was no easy task to arrange such a highly anticipated event but together with His guidance plus the help, dedication and hard work of my fellow organizers, we happily made it a success.

One thank you isn’t enough for each and every one of you, my lovely readers who dropped by, who made it a point to buy from my booth, talk to me and take photos with me. Your simple statements such as “I love your blog!” and “I actually went here just to see you!” definitely made me smile. :) It was such an overwhelming feeling getting to know all of you!

Btw, please do send our photos to cristina_decena@yahoo.com and I’d love to include them on my next Tumblr Fair post! ;)

On to my ensemble, I knew that it was going to be a hectic, humid day so thank God (and Tati of Bubbles!) that these superb shorts arrived just in time. Channeling Coachella chic, I paired it with my sexy COPPER bralet and layered with a sheer cover up to play down the provocativeness.

Jaq of YORK surprised me with these skull arm candies (and more) one day before the fair. Thank you for the sweet gesture, Jaq! <3

And the best part of my outfit? These head turning babies from Sophisticat Shoes, no less. A shout out to its lovely owners, Janna and Nikko. More power to you guys! :)
