Holiday Chills

I couldn't be more happy to finally welcome the colder days we're about to experience here in Manila! It's about time! In line with this, here's a simple look I put together that anyone can rock on a chillier day in the city.

Hong Kong July 2015: Hipster Spots & Mastering Causeway Bay

A few weeks back, my parents and I went on a spontaneous trip to Hong Kong and I was honestly so ecstatic especially after my trip to Taiwan got cancelled at the very last minute. I took this chance to do every single thing I had planned for my friends and I in Taiwan and poured it all in these brief three days: food, shopping, and art! Read on to see all the new discoveries! :)

Colors & Rain

Because of the awful weather, there have been too many things happening. School has actually been extended and I have literally no other choice than to cancel my upcoming flight to Taiwan. It really sucks when you've been looking forward to something for so long and not have it happen *just* a few days before and I've since then resigned myself to thinking that there are better plans for me.

Before I bum you guys out, here's an outfit post where I'm actually wearing layers again! Literally the only good thing that ever came from the storm. And let's not forget all the colors happening in this outfit as well! That's two things my blog has been missing. :)

Hot-Star Large Fried Chicken

Bluebay Walk is definitely a place to watch out for. It's near, it's commute-friendly, and it attracts consumers of all ages! Since it's still particularly new, there are only quite a few places to visit. I come here to check out Flying Dutchman's store because it holds some of the nicest boat shoes that are locally made and are absolutely awesome! I've yet to choose one but I hope I can drop by again soon!

When I found out that Hot-Star was going to open its very first flagship in the country I was absolutely stoked! And when I read it was opening in Bluebay Walk, I couldn't contain my excitement. You see, Hot-Star is absolutely famous for its humungous fried chicken fillet or Ji Pai (雞排) in Mandarin! When I was still studying in Taiwan, I'd always have it for dinner whenever my friends and I would go out in the city on our free days. It was large enough that someone with my big appetite could get really really full with just the fillet itself and nothing else!

Houndstooth

I’m so happy the week’s over! Can’t believe it was so crazy that I couldn’t blog AT ALL. Other than the fact that my final exams as a high school student are closely coming to an end, our teachers are throwing projects and contests left and right. It’s never been this hectic! (And I can only imagine what it’ll be like in college!) Anyways, let’s get on to the look!

Shirt from Taiwan, Pants from Giordano, Shoes from Converse, Bracelet from Folded and Hung, Silver Bracelet is a gift.

Hello again, Black and White! If you’ve noticed, I’ve been trying my very best to master this style. Though it’s pretty basic, I constantly find myself at a loss for thoughts because I’ve never really done it much, aaaaand I don’t have a lot of black or white clothes. Haha!

Personally, I think the superstar of this outfit is my top. I find it a bit strange that I’ve only got to wear it for my blog now, since I bought it almost 2 years ago during my study tour in Taiwan. Other than being one of the most awesome shirts I have, it bears much sentimental value because my group of friends there made it sort of our “official” group shirt. Long story short, it’s a pretty complicated thing to explain, but this shirt is more than just a pretty top! LOL (BTW I love that it’s in this really lovely teeny tiny houndstooth pattern!)

Simple arm party for me today, this bracelet from F&H was perfect with my silver bracelet because of the matching metals! Can’t thank my friends enough for including this in my birthday gift bag!

I find hooded shirts endearing, I just do. There’s something so cute and youthful about it, don’t you agree? And I love the Asian vibe a lot! (Or as I like to call it, “KPOP” because it pretty much sums up Korean superstars’ awesome sense of style.)

Leave it to my black Chucks to complete a black and white look! Haha! One of these days, I swear I’m going to invest in black sneakers/boots. Pahingahin naman si Chuck Taylors! Hahahaha!

So what do you think about this black and white look?
