Boracay 2012

Since the start of March, I have been traveling to different places like Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Boracay. (and Hong Kong again next week! haha lucky me!) Yes, I immediately became a jetsetter after my graduation this year and I am still enjoying these free months before I start on deciding my career path. Of course, the first thing I think about when traveling is shopping to revamp my closet with new spring summer things. I love how I put the bright, printed and light-aired ones in front of my wardrobe, and push everything else that are dark, textured and heavy at the back.

I declared April to be my Eat, Pray and Love month. Just last week, I went with some friends to Boracay.

DAY 1:

The original plan was to go with Kim, Kaye and Alex, but unfortunately, my best friend was caught up at work and her mom replaced her! We had to meet at the airport at 4am because we got an early flight. It's crazy at the airport! So many people on the first flight!

For my first day outfit, I went for a boho beach look. I put on this crochet top, a pair of hot bikini, denim shorts, and a fringe bag to top off my look. It was so hot under the Boracay sun that we had to lie down and rest for a few hours until the sun tamed down a bit.

DAY 2:

                                                 

For my second day outfit, I went for a green backless top, red bikini, and denim shorts. Forgot to take a picture of the backless top! Sayang... I love it because the top is perfect for beach wear, and stylish at the same time.

We went island hopping on our second day, but the waves were too strong that we did not get a chance to snorkel. Instead, we went swimming for a long time in one of the beach stops.

 And of course, ibang outfit at night. I used black lace shorts to pair with my red bikini for extra oomph.

Sunset Cocktail

Hot is the best word that describes summer 2012. I recently went to Boracay with some friends to enjoy the summer heat wave, share the sun, sand and the sea. The sun was up all day and since I am not really a fan of hot sweaty afternoons, my friends and I preferred to stay inside our hotel waiting for the sun to tame down a bit for us to swim outside the beach. During sunset hours, I would lounge around the Dedon beds and sunbathing benches, order my favorite cocktail, and read a book or put on my sunnies while enjoying the view beachfront or listening to the sound of the sea waves.

For this outfit, I was inspired by the scorching heat of the sun, giving me bright hues of yellow and orange. It's also inspired by my favorite cocktail, Tequila Sunrise.

 One of my favorite things to do to complete my look is to wear my sunnies as head band. It gives me sophisticated and stylish look at once. This belt fascinated me the moment I saw it from Only. How it works: one slim belt overlapping the other wider belt, with the same composition and texture. I love it! To top off my outfit, I put on two gold cuffs to make it more sophisticated and luxe resort wear like.

These are my favorite wedges as of the moment. They are simple and easy to wear. Perfect for any summer get up.

Pleated mullet skirts are so in right now, I just can't resist wearing it in a perfect summer getaway.
