Patriot Party

Here I am taking patriotism to the next level by donning the Union Jack print from head to toe. At present, it has become more than just a flag but a fashion icon as well. You may be fond of this stylish symbol just like I am but do you know the history behind it?

Just a tiny trivia from Google, the flag was produced to commemorate the unification of England and Scotland under James I of England who was King of Scotland until he inherited the throne of England as well. Nerd mode: ON.

This partisan ensemble was inspired by nothing else but my Union Jack nail art. Thanks to Janice of Nail It! Salon Abada!

Midterms week officially starts tomorrow and I’ve been studying all weekend. Best of luck to you, my fellow Lasallians! :)

My birthday week through Instagram (@cristinadecena)♥xx

Apart from the luscious feasts and fancy schmancy presents, it is honestly the presence of my nearest and dearest that mattered the most. Thank you, Lord for another year of countless blessings and to my family and friends who made this occasion extra special!

Feathers, chains, tassels and everything nice at Yhansy Manila.

Tulle Skirt and Tousled Hair

The lovely Je of Hurricane Kitty called the shots for a photo shoot featuring Tumblr Fashion Bloggers. I thought the theme “Personal Style” was effortless but it was unpredictably mind-boggling to come up with an ensemble that would define no one else but me. If you have been following my blog, you may have noticed how I am addicted to anything with the Union Jack. Thus, I seized my recently bought luggage box and decided to work from there. Random as it is, this outfit is now on my list of favorites!

Cristina Decena of Strutting on Sunshine

It was a such a delight to be photographed by a young and talented shutterbug, Luisa Manuel. Despite the limited daylight and the damp afternoon drizzle, she was undoubtedly able to work her magic behind the lens. Merci beaucoup, Luisa and I sure look forward to seeing you again soon! :)
