First Day High!

 Top, Siren, Necklace, DIY

 I'm in love with tying blouses :) 

 Shoes, TOMS

I'm officially a student! :) 

Last Thursday was my first day of class. I was giddy with excitement because I love the smell of fresh notebooks, books and pens! It's not really school school with all the everyday classes and hectic schedules but the mere thought of being in class... new classmates... learning - I miss it! 

And so I 'm back from blogging... Im not really aiming for hits but the feeling of blogging and writing again makes me fulfilled.

Outfit of the Year, Lol. I haven't posted an outfit in ages and I thought I might update my blog. It was very warm the whole day and I wanted to pull off a cool and breezy ensemble. Summer is almost over and I should make the most out of it before I store all my summer clothes. I kinda like to experiment on the print on print and textures in a subtle way. I hope it looked well!  

I'm going to school tomorrow and I'm excited about new things and of course an update on my career. I'll try to post an outfit for my first day.

Zoe's 2nd Birthday!

Pictures tell you all.. :)

My daughter's birthday was a blast. I made all the pastries which were such a hit for the guests. I hardly slept the night before because I was busy baking and fixing all the goodies. Everything were Filipino food and we're glad that everyone enjoyed them. I was channelling with all the minnie and mickey motif since Zoe loves them to bits. 

I'll cut my entry short... need to sleep...

Emma Stone

  

I so love her style, I'm actually considering that she can be Anastasia Steele of the Trilogy 50 Shades of Grey. Have you read the book? 

It is not the typical knight-in-shining-armor meets the damsel-in-distress type of story. It has a dark side and it will keep you intrigued from start to finish. Aside from the kinky, erotic, sexual content, lies a great love story of love, acceptance and change. It was a matter of compromise for each other. Christian Grey, whoever will portray him (but I like Ryan Gosling than Ian Somerhalder), is sure sexy and hot. I got inspired with Ryan and Emma's team up in the movie, Crazy, Stupid Love. He's not all romantic but his being dominant makes him extra sexy and him falling in love, creates all the more that prince-like fantasy for the readers. 

The story will leave you breathless, wanting and naughty. Christian Grey just changed the image of a leading man into something more fierce and masculine. 

New In: Sling Bag

I just fell in love instantly! It's very basic - neutral, roomy and functional and not to mention it's leather. A great bag for my errands and for my day job. Yes! I do have a job!!!

For the past month, work was always on my way and that is why I am too lazy to blog. I'm kinda busy preparing for Zoe's birthday. I hope it will turn out well. I'll blog about them soon :) 

I am now contemplating on buying or saving... which should I prioritize? Solestruck is making me dizzy and I'm really hooked on balenciaga.com..... temptations go away! lol Anyway,  have you noticed my photos are much better? Hubby bought a cam (finally) I'll have more gusto in posting outfits. 

Bye for now! :) 

Wish list...

x Michael Kors

x Ray Ban

x Jeffrey Campbell

Which should I pick first? 

Mother's Day

Divine!

This is my 3rd Mother's Day but my first time celebrating it. I was really overwhelmed with how my husband prepared and surprised me. It was nothing fancy but it was priceless. The food, the place and the people around me were just perfect.  

Being a mom is not an easy task because it can't call on a leave or a vacation and no pay all. The only reward are the warm hugs and kisses that gives a silent message of  'Thanks and I love you, Mom'. I don't think there is still something that would ever replace the happiness my daughter has given me. It is the toughest job I've ever had and I would never get tired of it.

I also thank my Mom for raising me well and now, I am passing all the things I've learned from her to my child. Ever since when my Dad worked overseas, my Mom raised us on her own and I owe it to her. She didn't wish anything but to secure our future. I'm really really hoping to get things done so that I can repay her for all the things she sacrificed just to give us all the comfort. A Louis Vuitton's Never Full would do, right Mom? Lol

And to end the night.....

A long stemmed red rose <3



S.I.N.

Experimenting on a 'bronze effect' on my skin. I'm using Smashbox's Contour Pop for my cheeks, Mac's Pink Nouveau on my lips and Stila's eyeliner.

Striped cowneck top, F21/ Black knitted Shawl, Ardene

ear and bracelet candies for Chinatown, Davao City

Goofing around my princess!

What we had for dinner, Shrimp in oystersauce and dumplings :)

Today was laidback day. I'm still waiting for my assessment so that I can persue my nursing career here. We just went to downtown to get our almost forgotten/past dued S.I.N. but anyhow, we got them already at last!

This week is nothing really special.. how about you?

Orange

I realized that most of my clothes are boring and basic. Since I moved here in Winnipeg, I invested more on earth colors and I was thinking on how to make it more spring-ish without overdoing it so I put on my orange beaded necklace that my mom gave me and TADAH! This is actually handmade by the natives in my hometown. It brings out a pop of color to your outfit. Who says they can't make fashion statements?  Lol 

Anyhow, I got our PR cards already... at least I can breath from the delays it has caused.

How's your Friday Loveys?

xoxo,

Joyce

Lust Bags

Celine

McQueen

Prada

Balenciaga

YSL

I can't get over these babies! I'm sensing 24/7 overtime work here.. but it will come. Which one is your favorite?

Anyway, I passed my driving written exam test today. Woohoo. Sad thing is... I lost all my outfit photos for the day.. :( All wiped according to the blackberry. Boohoo.

Gotta make this short and have to catch more sleep.
