It's just plain Black and White

Lately I've been noticing myself magnetized to wearing black and white a lot lately. I don't know exactly where I'm drawing the need from but I tend to dress in black and white. From a black and white wool herringbone shorts, a plain white t-shirts, tank tops, black jeans, black flats, wedges, and sandals, they would be either, black and white, just black, or just white. And I'm finding it a little disturbing not in a bad way just been really trying to get color into my wardrobe and I just ultimately take the black tank top, white shorts, or the black and white zebra alegrias sandals that are most comfortable btw.  

Another thing the Philippines hasn't the most comfortable weather or atmosphere to be wearing black as it is too hot and black would just roast me alive or white cause of the smog that I feel like if i walked out in white I would return in a completely brown outfit but I guess that would be an exaggeration, it is however my opinion for the most part. 

But then again as I think long and hard about it what could possibly be wrong with wearing black and white, it's a timeless classic combination, I am, as I read up on my blog list that I am in good company. Take for instance Sandra from 5inchandup.blogspot.com, and Rowan from redreidinghood.blogspot.com. With that in mind, it has not stopped me from doing so and loving every minute that I do. I just get really OC about where I go when I do go out in the said colors or the lack thereof. Check out these two ladies in their blogs for more inspiration as I look to them for my black and white inspirations.

waiting for April Shower

For reals... April is nearly over and we haven't had much rain. I guess it's okay rather than getting too much of it and that would mean a flood for me. So I thank GOD just the same.  While i sit here steaming cause it is rather HOT, I thought I'd share my outfit of the day.

I'm wearing a couple of DIYs. My crochet and yoyo flower necklace and my zipper bracelets. I haven't actually done a DIY on my necklace cause it is somewhat more complicated but I do have one for my zipper bracelets that you can checck out. ;D They are great alone or stacked with other bracelets. 

So the sun has been ruling the skies lately and under the shades of a tree is always the best way to stay cool. So this in our mini mango tree that's yet to bear fruits but I can wait. It is what I'm good at.

I'm also wearing two of my favorite go to items. My Gap white scooped neck T-shirt and sailor pants inspired shorts. Lastly, my alegria sandals in zebra print just to let the animal out in me and may I add that it is as good as walking on barefoot. :D

Thanks for dropping by and please leave a comment cause it's always a nice surprise and I will most definitely reply back. 

Hoping everyone a spectacular week!

Welcome Little Eli

April 13, 2012, a Friday, we took home a cute little chihuahua! Please welcome the new addition to our family...

LITTLE ELI!!!

We tried out a DIY sock turned chihuahua wear with a Halloween inspired design. It was a lost sole, ( we seemed to have lost the other pair) so it was destined for chihuahua fashion. Looks like someone is ready for Halloween right? 

Thank you for stopping by. Have a nice weekend everyone!
