Girl on the Go

The past few weeks have been quite a whirl that words cannot even explain. Not a single complaint though, I must say that this kind of hustle and bustle is something that I have come to love. How, you may ask? Let me give you several (tried and tested) tips to lessen pressure and increase productivity.

1. Plan and stick to it. Keep a planner or make a to-do list and strictly pursue it, no excuses accepted.

2. Prioritize. Use up your time on essential errands only. Otherwise, you’ll be wasting precious hours and equally precious energy too.

3. Learn how to say no. Oftentimes, it is hard to decline favors from family and friends but it is very important to think of your to-do list first prior to acquiring extra work.

4. Turn down distractions. Facebook and Twitter are my top two evils when I need to concentrate and so SelfControl for Mac is something that I treasure.

5. Kick back and relax when desired. Too much of something is well, too much. It’s okay to take a day off and pick yourself up. My favorite time out treat is Nail It! Salon’s Package 1!

And another treat for a girl on the go like me? This clever emergency kit from MARiS that holds useful paraphernalia, perfect for all kinds of girl crises!

What I wore: White sheer top and Red snakeskin clutch [Hong Kong], Leopard print skirt [Ysh’s Gift], Black sunglasses with floral details [Random], Turquoise stone studded necklace [Bangkok], Crisscross magnetic cuff [Hailey and Five], Black and Turquoise YSL inspired Arty oval ring [Young Wild Free], Colorblock platform pumps [Primadonna], Girl’s Little Emergency Kit [MARiS], Nails by Nail It! Salon

How about you? How do you handle a hectic schedule? :)

La Bella Vita

Do you ever have those priceless moments when you take a pause and think to yourself that life is beautiful? I do. And it is during those instances that I realize how truly blessed I am. When I was younger, I used to believe in the aphorism that “Good things come to those who wait.” Presently, being a couple of years older and wiser, I have come to a realization that sure, good things may come to those who wait but better things come to those who are willing to get up and work hard for it. Luck may turn towards us sometimes but by and by, we should know how to pursue for those good things and exert effort to achieve them.

On to my ensemble, this sparkling outfit was what I wore to Nail It! Salon’s photo and video shoot at the quaint little Cubao X. I am such an aficionada of full-size, flouncy skirts and I despise the fact that I may be outgrowing them some time in the future. Nooo!

Such a picturesque place Cubao X is that my fellow Resident Bloggers; Bea, Melai and I couldn’t help taking photos even if it was “prohibidado” by the security guard. Who could resist touristy shots with this lovable Leaning Tower of Pisa anyway?

What I wore: Turquoise midrib top and White chiffon skirt, Gold skull ring and Gold pumps [Bangkok], Yellow rhinestone studded collar necklace [Hailey and Five], Gold five row spikes bangle and Turquoise YSL inspired Arty oval ring [Young Wild Free], Limited edition mint lace bracelet [GQ by PinkCloset], White and gold studded bracelet [Random], Yellow classic leather clutch [Vivienne Westwood], Cake iPhone case [Hong Kong], Pink heart ear plug [Berry Couture], Hair and Makeup by Dana Decena, Nails by Nail It!

How was your Halloweekend? I’m jumpstarting my Halloween with Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights tomorrow and I couldn’t be more thrilled! I hope my scaredy-cat family doesn’t back out at the last minute. Haha!

Like A Skyscraper
Little Miss Lakers

The gutless girl in me typically pairs two bold hues at most, leaving everything else in the ensemble neutral-colored. This particular day, the daredevil dresser in me had the guts to play with Los Angeles Lakers’ distinctive color mishmash plus a pop of orange. Bright and risky colors mixed from top to bottom surely create a stylish statement!

Glossy garnishes polished the look perfectly, with a common sophistication of gold in each elegant piece.

What I wore: Yellow sheer top [Hong Kong], Violet colored denim shorts and Orange crisscross heels [Bangkok], Orange leather and silver steel belt [Mom’s closet], Gold spike dangling earrings [Young Wild Free], Multicolored silver bracelets [Hailey and Five], Michael Kors Rose Gold watch [Gabby’s Gift], Beaded arm candies [YORK], Vintage owl ring [Churbish Shop], Gold Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma [Mom’s hand me down], Nails by Nail It!

How about you? Do you like bold and bright colors? :)

I Heart You

One can never go off beam with the choice of classic red nails. But ever since I became a resident blogger for Nail It! Salon, I’ve always had anything but plain painted on my digits.

Because love is in the air (I’m so cheesy, I know!), I decided to give the usual red nails a twist by having this adorable heart nail art! Thank you, Nail It! Salon Glorietta 3!

On to my ensemble, this shress (shirt dress) is so perfect for the slothful fashionista in me. Throwing on a leopard printed scarf around my neck and a similarly printed satchel complemented my whole getup flawlessly, making the plain shress not so lazy looking after all.

What I wore: Tiger graphic printed shress, Feather earring, Leopard printed scarf and Gold ring [Bangkok], Red heart shaped sunglasses [Topshop], Black diamond stud earring [Scrimp Manila], Black cross necklace [Young Wild Free], Gray and silver bracelets [Hailey and Five], Modern rock chic leather wrap [GQ Pink Closet], Leopard print satchel [Shoppe Unli], Bertha Booties [Gold Dot], Nails by Nail It! Salon

How about you? What’s your favorite lazy day piece?
