off shoulder or sleevess? how about both! ;D

Enjoying the Sun while it's out in my asymmetric shoulder mini dress. you'll see one shoulder is exposed while the other isn't and the sleeves well, one side is sleeveless and the other isn't.  Notice I changed shoes and it totally changes the over all look. From a classic look with white wedges to a more casual laid back feel with black ballet flats. I love this dress amongst my collection of dresses. It's loose and away from the body but still manages to exude a sense of sexiness with the off shoulder and mini in length without being too revealing.

worn with a pair of white wedges

Pairing it with a pair of jeans and a classic low ponytail and viola completely a whole new look. I  wore this to a reunion. It was great seeing old friends especially when you haven't seen then in decades.



I actually didn't graduate with this class but i did go to school with them at some point. They were kind  enough to include me in these gatherings as i had some great friendship with them as children. I hope that this reunion isn't the last and that we have manage to rekindle old friendships.

To old and renewed friends. Hope you enjoyed reading.

Christmas Tree 2011










I've been putting this off until today. Thought it was only proper to post our Christmas Tree 2011 after Thanksgiving even thought its been up since three weeks ago. FYI, here in the Philippines, people usually assemble Christmas trees when the months end in ber begin, so usually by September, Christmas trees go up. We were late in putting up our tree considering flood threats but since the weather let up, we were able to set our tree up early November. 

Anyway, we decorate our three different every year. One year it was decorated with silver pink and white decor. Another year, blue and silver, that year my grandmother died, it literally was a blue a Christmas. Then a year with silver and gold. This year though, we decided to decorate it with different colored balls and gold trimmings and set up a mini town underneath like we do every year. It's quite festive.
It's not a very big tree but we love it just the way it is. 

 Wishing all a happy holidays. ;D 

Thank you for dropping by and reading, letting me share with you a little part of my life.

If you don't know what these are, these are collages from POLYVORE. I personally made these, not the best but mind you I'm new at it. POLYVORE is actually a site where you can let your creativity go run wild. It's absolutely addicting. With the collages, you can create mood boards for looks you would like to try out or go through other members collages for ideas and inspiration and the members come up with the most amazing collages. The site also provides a way you can interact with beauty, fashion, design aficionados and get help in any way you need.  I absolutely recommend it to people who are into design, beauty, and fashion professionally and to those like me who just have a secret make-up, fashion designer/stylist  waiting to burst out into the world. 

hope you try out POLYVORE and check out my other collages and finally i hope you've enjoyed today's post too.
