The Upper East Side

Went to a fine dining Filipino restaurant near San Miguel Malacanang for a dinner with high school barkada. Casa Roces, formerly a house which turned into this beautiful old style yet highly sophisticated and classic Filipino restaurant.

This is the cleopatra chair available on the 2nd floor. It comes with a mirror beside it, and facing two beautifully designed bathrooms.

This is the sitting area of one of the function rooms above. So classic high society.

This is the beautifully decorated bathroom I was talking about. Can't resist not taking a shot inside it!

Since the restaurant was a bit formal, I opted for a vintage/classy look with a lace halter top and lace mini skirt, with main hues of black and white. I put on a black belt to add more blacks to the almost all-white ensemble. And then, since I was going for a vintage classic look, why not use these amazing silver shoes with glass heels? Love the femme dainty feel of those! 

This is the lace halter top, with a brooch which gives a Victorian feel to the outfit.

And this is the lace mini skirt which matches the top perfectly.

I added some golds to the look to look more accented and defined. These gold cuff and ring adds the Grecian vibe or the goddess feel to my outfit, which adds more sophistication and class.

These are the ah-mazing silver shoes with glass heels. Got them a few years ago from Hong Kong and barely used them. When I prepared this outfit, I just knew that it is time to bring these babies out.

And this is the gang... JACKI!

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.
