Choose Happiness

image

Well, look who’s overjoyed! Some time ago, I took notice of the saying that “The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes their way.”

Too often, we live a life filled with discontent. We constantly yearn for more than what we possess, even if what we have in our hands is already enough. To live wonderfully, one does not need to own all the material things present in this world. One simply has to make the most out of every circumstance that life has to offer. Know and be grateful for what you have. Choose happiness.

On to my ensemble, I wore this to another day of wandering around the lovely city of LA. Can you recall the top that I wore the other way around from this post? ♫ Oops, I did it again. That bow detail was too cute not to flaunt up front. What’s more, I adored how I was able to don my ear flap beanie without feeling weird the entire day.

P.S. Please put up with with me as I continue to deal with my blog backlogs. It seems never-ending pero keribels ko ito! ;)

Runway to Ranch

♫ I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan. Welcome to the land of fame, excess, am I gonna fit in?

Yeehaw! Looking at this set of photographs makes me miss the City of Angels. Their wonderful weather is completely conducive to playing dress up. This day, I channeled my inner cowgirl by taking cue from this pretty pair of boots. If truth be told, inspirational fashion comes from the most unexpected odds and ends. All that’s missing is a good ol’ cowboy hat and I’ll be ready to ride a horse!

I wore this Western-inspired ensemble to a delightful day of shopping at Citadel Outlets. My stylish and snug leather jacket plus boots with the fur got me feeling warm in spite of the chilly weather conditions.

Hail! Hail! Hail!

Win or lose, it’s the school we choose. Here goes a getup inspired by none other than my alma mater. Examining this ensemble, the base was a simple shirt and shorts combination. Nevertheless, just by adding fun frillings of fringe, layered necklaces and lace up booties, the look suddenly wasn’t so lackluster in sight!

Legacy.], Black silk shorts [Bangkok], Black lenseless frames [Random], Black Inverted Triangle necklaces [Personalized Accessories], Wooden bangle with silver studs [Claire’s USA], White Kidada wrap bracelet [Bought online], Blogger bracelet [The Bead Shop], Black octopus ring and Black fringe sling bag with studs [Hong Kong], Black lace up booties [Local department store]

Fifi Lapin and Floral Prints

Currently, a crop top plus a maxi skirt has been my no fail combination of an effortlessly chic ensemble. Just like always, I loved the ease that these threads gave me as I faced a dragging school day at Taft. Minimal accessories did the trick and my hair up in a bun showed off my cool ear cuff just right.

What I wore: Fifi Lapin graphic printed crop top, Green Keep Calm and Carry On ring and Coral satchel [Bangkok], Salmon pink maxi skirt [Local department store], Vintage large frame sunglasses [Ray-Ban], Gold spike ear cuff [Young Wild Free], House of Harlow inspired necklace [Hailey and Five], Light Pink beaded bracelet [Orange Soda], Ditsy Rose Slingback Heels [Forever 21]

Genie in a Bottle

Donning harem pants makes me think that I’m a genie. I think I’ll never grow weary of the unrestricted sentiment it gives me. Undeniably, I am craving for more colors and prints of these babies that it actually came across my mind to have them custom-made as I type this. Recommend me a good seamstress? :)

Another comfortable item that I adore is a pair of wedges. How these babies come in stunning styles and shades is just a delightful bonus!

What I wore: Black tube top, White blazer and Gunmetal spikes necklace [Bangkok], Printed harem pants and Black chain bag [Hong Kong], Black Chanel sunglasses [Mom’s closet], Arrow connector ring [Bought online], Hot pink chiffon tie studded wedges [Janylin]
