Full On Leopard

Here's another Christmas party outfit from me. Wore this to one of our family's Christmas luncheons on the 23rd of December. I had two outfit changes on this day actually just like the previous year when I wore this exact same shoes to the same family party. I wore it during the day which you can read all about here and then styled it differently at night. Guess this is my day to night pair! :)

Tonight We Are Young

 Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

I mentioned on my previous post that last Saturday I had at least two outfit changes because in the morning we had a family event and in the afternoon I had to meet up with my grade school friends at Taguig. It was literally a looong day for me. Anyway, here's outfit number two! A very sparkly and loud look for a night out with ze friends! My guy friends wouldn't stop teasing me about this look btw. Kin-Yen, would squint his eyes and pretend to be blinded by the brightness of my sequined top! Boys. *shakes head* Haha!

Ever since our dear friend Pam left the Philippines for Australia, she visits the country at least once a year to bond with us here. Two years ago, she hosted one of the most memorable sleepovers we have ever had at the Holiday Inn which you can read here. Hihi. This year though, no more sleepovers for us because we literally stayed up all night! We stuffed ourselves with yummeh food at Mercato then partied the night away at Amber then Jill's at The Fort Strip. Her stay this time was shorter but it was still fun 'coz Rachelle, another Balikbayan friend of ours, was with us! Somehow, Pam brought out Rachelle's suppressed British accent because she finally had someone to talk to in straight English! Ang asar namin sa kanila: "Oh nag-uusap na naman yung dalawang foreigners" hahaha!

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

Take a "Bow"

Peter pan doily collar, whimsical bow prints on a vintage style dress, dainty bow belt cinched at the waist, neat french plait at the roots of the hair ending in cute ombre-hued curls...but finishing the look off by wearing modern and architectural-looking heel-less platforms and veering away from more girly shoes like preppy brogues or ballet flats. This was one of my outfits (yes, coz I changed in the afternoon but that's for my next post) yesterday when we paid a visit to our relatives then went to the movies to watch Sherlock Holmes! And I must say, Guy Ritchie  really did a fantastic job directing yet again! To those who don't know, he's Madonna's ex-husband haha! Even before the first movie came out, a lot of people were skeptical about his directing skills but ho ho he proved them all wrong 'coz IMHO it turned out great! I'm very pleased with his treatment of the movie(s): he refrained from modernizing it too much, he portrayed Dr. Watson as the very capable and reliable ally that he truly was to Holmes and did not present him as just a meager side-kick who used to slip on banana skins for comic relief ('coz really, they did not know where to place Watson in the old adaptations), and I liked that the movies stayed true to the book. I loved the overall atmosphere of the film, the costumes and set design, the humor of the two main actors, the cinematography, and the bond that Holmes and Watson shared. Heavy bromance yo! Haha! I cannot wait to get it on DVD!!!
