Tropical Lime

While mints and pastels are so in this season, I don't remember a fashion report that says limes cannot be a major fashion statement this season. Sure neons are all around, but they are mostly bright hues of orange and yellow. This time, I wanted to make lime as my color of the day. 

I was feeling so sweet and flirty that day that I decided to wear something that represents my mood. I went for a simple sheer polo top and floral shorts to show my spontaneity and the fun quirky side of me. 

I did not want to be too girly or too lazy that day because I had to go do errands and work, so I chose a sheer long sleeves top to tone down the casualness in my look.

I chose this necklace because it matches the color of my floral shorts. It's elegant and gives an oomph to my top and shorts outfit. I love this necklace, currently my favorite neck piece because it's two-toned!

I still stuck to my regular accessory - a watch. I really cannot live without wearing a watch because I am a control freak when it comes to time management, and so I need a watch to constantly remind me and monitor the time. Especially that day was not a rest day to me, I could not go out of the house without it.

I wore this cute checkered wedges instead of flats to avoid looking so "weekend"-y. And it's still fun and quirky with the checkered print.

What do you think of my look?

TOPSHOP sheer polo top. ZARA floral shorts. C&A sunnies. Ever New neck piece. From Bazaar bangle. Tissot watch. ZARA wedges.

Plain Jane

Decided to go all out and all femme in the flesh yesterday with a white lace number. It's so dainty, young and fresh. This outfit gives me the feeling of "grace under pressure" because it's so simple, literally just a plain white dress, some brown accessories and shoes, and I'm good to go. When in doubt, I go for a simple dress in a solid color, and just add accessories that match. Then, tada, I'm ready.

I love this dress because it's naughty and nice with a cut-out back.

I matched this brown belt and 2 brown rings, which gave accents to my look. One is victorian style (left), and the other one is vintage looking (right), giving the feeling of Old Noir to the outfit.

And this is how I looked yesterday. A Plain Jane.   =)

Ever New lace dress. Vero Moda belt. Forever21 rings. ZARA wedges.

By the way, it was also the first anniversary of me and my baby. To celebrate this special occasion, we had dinner at a very good Italian restaurant in Makati, named Masseto. Because I like Italian cuisine, and he surprised me with this resto.

The interiors of Masseto were inspired by Euro-Continental architecture with dim lighting, velvet seats, leather couches, and tall wine glasses.

We especially love their wine glasses, the dark colors of the interior, and the romantic relaxed mood of the restaurant.

First up is Pecorino Ravioli, Mushrooms, and Truffle Sauce as appetizer. If you think this dish is not that appealing because of this photo, then think twice. We both can't get enough of this.

Tagliolini pasta (home-made pasta) in crab concoctions. I especially love this dish! Tagliolili pasta is their in-house pasta, which is thinner than Fetuccini.

And this is us, about to blow our anniversary cake from The Cake Club of Diamond Hotel. 

Mont Blanc, made in fresh chestnut paste, Chantilly cream, prunes soaked in dark rum on almond tart. Sounds delicious? Yes it is!

Royal Blue at Hamilo Coast

Pico de Loro means "beak of the parrot", while Hamilo of Hamilo Coast means "many to see." True enough there were many sites to see inside the first cove of SM Residences' Hamilo Coast. The first cove is named as Pico de Loro because of the presence of many parrots around the area. The condos are each named after a bird specie, where a lagoon surrounds the area and gives a beautiful scenery of the country club and the beach club.

Pico de Loro is known for these asian modern structures. 

This is the view of the beach club, perfect sun, sand and sea. Well not really, because it was raining hard that day. Start of June = Start of rainy season.

A shuttle was kind enough to drive guests back and forth the country club, beach club, condos, and the hotel.

The lounge area of the country club.

Wore this outfit, thinking that it was supposed to be a sunny day riding the ferry to pico de loro. My outfit was themed blue and white, sailor inspired. Instead, my ferry has sailed away because the rain and storm have come. Haha!

The view of the country club.

We ate a buffet lunch at Lagoa restaurant. Lagoa means "lagoon", because the restaurant is facing the lagoon.

It was a Filipino-Spanish buffet, with some delicacies like roast pork, beef, garlic pasta, fish fillet, and potato chicken.

Some of the yummy desserts from the buffet selection.

Halo-halo for the lunch buffet finale.

Playing with my cam because we can't go out during the rain.

A supposedly outing-friendly summer outfit, made just for cruising and sailing into the seas. But instead, I still wore it on a rainy day out. 

This is how I planned my last minute outing before summer ends:

Blue and white? Check!

Accessories? Check!

Flats? Check!

Resort? Check!

ZARA white t shirt. River Island shorts. Ever New necklace. ZARA flats.
