Cinderella

Back when I was younger, I only had two Disney VHSs (90's kid here, wattup!). Those were Cinderella and Beauty and The Beast. Between those two, the one that got abused more was my Cinderella VHS. I would watch it everyday ng walang patawad that it eventually broke. Though my favorite Disney Princess would have to be Belle because not only is she pretty but witty as well (and she looooves to read!), my younger self definitely adored Cinderella more. I guess it's also due to the fact that I got frightened watching Beauty and the Beast 'coz of...well, the beast. So where is this post going anyway, you ask? Haha! Well...I don't know if you got it by now but my inspiration for this outfit was Cinderelli-cinderelli-cinderelli! Because we were going to HK Disneyland that day, I decided to come in a somewhat princess-y outfit that reflected my childhood! I personally liked the monochromatic palette of pale icy blue colors in this outfit and the tutu which instantly princess-fied my whole look. :)


And since we're on the subject of my childhood, I just want to share that I just finished re-watching Cardcaptor Sakura online. Oh my goodness. SO much win for this anime. It remains to be one of my fave animes still. Ahh...thank you to CLAMP for creating such a heartwarming and innovative story. :"> *tears* For a late 90's anime, the art style was definitely ahead of its time. And don't you guys think that Sakura and Shaoran make such a cuuuute pair? Eeeh! For the CCS fans out there, if you want to watch it again, here's the link where you can see Sakura-chan's kawaii-ness! 


In other news, Scarlet April is turning two this coming 21st! And because I want to celebrate my blog's 2nd birthday, I will be holding a giveaway so please watch out for it! :)

Friday I'm In Love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

My favorite day of the week. Then again who doesn't like Fridays? Usually, I can't be bothered to dress-up for school because I commute from Q.C. all the way to Taft and I don't wanna attract unnecessary attention that could put me in an uncomfortable situation. But I make an exception on Fridays. Why? It's my non-haggard school day 'coz I get to attend one class only and that's my literature elective (8:00am-9:30am). I also noticed that lately, I've been exerting extra effort to doll up 'coz in that class, (aside from the fact that I love my lit classes) I found a motivation a.k.a. crush who inspires me to get over my laziness in dressing-up for school. Haha! Plus, every Friday I fetch my mom at work and we go on dates and the woman doesn't like me going out not looking decent and pretty. Haha! So 2 weeks ago, we went on another date and she treated me to lunch and I had the yummiest salmon carbonara ever (too bad I didn't bring my cam!) then we met her officemates at UCC for dessert and coffee and while they were chit-chatting about taxes and parenting, I went to Lavish Lashes Studio to get eye-lash extensions. I love the result but the process of putting them on and the adhesive stung and my eyes were red for days I looked like I was on drugs. Haha! After that, my mom accompanied me to look for a dress that I'd wear on my friend's debut (will blog about it soon).

So yeah. This was my outfit 2 Fridays ago (though I wore tights underneath and took 'em off after class haha!). It's basically an outfit remix. But I don't really like wearing new clothes/shoes in school (baka masira due to flood and rain like my fave pair of floral oxfords huhu). I like saving 'em for dates with friends and events. Oh diba. Haha!

Today Was A Fairy-tale

(cropped top-The Ramp | tutu-Just G | chain necklace-The Ramp | shoes)

My outfit from the weekend was inspired by fairies and vibrant hues! I was hell bent on finishing my sketches of Raiza's debut gowns that it somehow affected my sartorial choices that weekend. Or maybe it's just my shorter 'do. Ever since I chopped 5 inches off my hair, I've been inclined to wearing skirts and dresses more whenever the family and I would go out. Anyway, I don't mind. I like how my haircut brought out the color of my hair and it's bouncier when curled (which I try to do now whenever we go out). :)

PS. Hee, my exposed ears remind me of a fairy's pointed ears!:))
P.P.S. Hope Raiza will like my designs! Not too OTT since she's a simple lass. :)

Pink, Girly Things, and Macarons

(lace blouse- Forever21 | shorts- The Second Shop | cameo necklace- Forever21 | shoes- Taiwan)

Late post is late. These photos were taken last weekend. Funny how the week went by with a theme hence this very girly post.

Photos:

*Sweet to look at and sweet to the taste French Macarons (they're not from Laduree though so I guess that doesn't make them French? Haha!). I love them, especially the pink ones (mainly 'coz of the irresistible pink hue and the cake ganache in between).
*My little sister dressed in a pink tutu! So adorable. :">
*My outfit last Saturday. (Forever21 lace blouse, The Second Shop shorts, Forever21 cameo necklace, Brogues from Taiwan)
*Newly acquired Etude House Pink Lippy! Such a steal. Its color is close to MAC's Pink Nouveau.


Hmm, I'm surprisingly not verbose (here on the blog) today.

Much Love,
Scarlet Aprilxx

Life in Technicolor II

The "point at your zit" pose. Haha!

Random shot. Haha! Sadako izzthatchu??? :))

Now this was when things started to get crazy. En and I were actually dancing (to the song Whip My Hair by Willow Smith) while these shots were being taken. I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH...I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH...like a lunatic. Haha!

Here's a "year ender" photo shoot for 'yall! These photos were taken yesterday with En to kill time while I was waiting for Ara and Deb to arrive at RnB (Cams was MIA...again). Another colorful post hence the title. And yes, I have already named a post with the similar title so to make a distinction I added the "II" this time (just like Coldplay's song). About the outfit, just in case you were wondering, I was wearing my neon printed bathing suit as a top/corset and my little sister's really tiny (not to mention very tight) tutu skirt. So yeah, this outfit was excruciating to wear but OH THE THINGS I'D DO FOR FASHION. Hahaha!

Happy Holidays everyone! Hope you're all having a blast! :)

'Til the next post then!
