Ordinary School Girl

School Life is the most memorable time of our life. A time when I always look foward to Japanese uniforms but unfortunately cannot adopt in my place due to the extreme warm weather. Girly school-look seems so cute and one of my outfit idea. 

Up into the high mountains, where a city is located, I've tried doing some experiments with my outfit since that's the place where I can truly express my own ideas. Cool breeze tapping my skin, breathing in the smell of pines and enjoying the glorious scenery of this place. Even the sun is high, the blow of the wind is still cold. Perfect pair for the leather is a denim skirt with a preppy print longsleeves. Both skirt and longsleevs are thrifted but not abused. It's still wearable though. I'm inlove with the place, and let me tell you something: I saw a cute guy that day. He says "Hi." Then I knew that's he's a varsity from the school Mapua.

High in the mountains of Baguio

My last 2 nights of my school tour was spent in Baguio City again. It's my 3rd time being on a school trip and our destination was always in Baguio. I guess they can't deny the fact that it is so chill in Baguio City. Even myself love the city!

I visited my auntie there and see my cousin who's now a grown up teenager. I invited my friends to come and have dinner at the house then take a walk around the town of Baguio. The next day, we didn't go with the itenerary. We do our own Baguio trip: where to go, where heading to. Luckily, we still reach the last week of the Panagbenga Festival. You can still see the wonderful and colorful flower creation of the people there. I really want to pick some flowers but I think it's prohibited since it's still in its competition state. 

Have you tried any tea shop in Baguio? Yes InfiniTea and also ZenTea are my favorite spots of tea in Baguio. Place is really artsy but small. I suggest they find a bigger place because it is really chilling and comfy at the same time. So we ended up our tour in Mines View and Good Shepard to buy souvenirs. Try their Ube Jam! You'll love it!

The LOCATION

City of Pines: Baguio City, Philippines

Tribal Queen

What I Wear:
bikini (corset type): thrifted
black maxi: thrifted
sunnies: SM Accessories

It's so nice to take a break and relax for a day from from the city. By just breathing a nice air from the depths of the forest and seek a fun activity. As you see my previous post, we are back again here in El Kabayo falls. The weather is fiery, but the forest area is chilly with fresh air. I miss my hair color and length during that time since I already cut it short now. I feel like a fairy or mystical creature of the forest that time. I do enjoy posing on that rock and love the lighting of the surrounding. (It makes me look more pale. Lol)

 I decided to wear light clothes so I can easily change it. When going to the beach or falls, I prefer and love to wear maxi skirts. It feels cool and perfect for warm seasons. I also got lucky and grab this two items from thrift stores. I always score some items which is unique and real finds. I'm always into tribal prints. I love the top. It's actually a bikini-like-corset plus the sheer type maxi skirt which enables me to move comfortably around. Added my overused personalize necklace from Mia Casa to create some drama.

Oh how I miss adventures!

Disconnect to Reconnect

WHAT I WEAR:

Fedora: SM Accessories

Round Sunnies: Online Shop

Customized Necklace: Casa Mia

Top and Green Shorts: trifted online

It's another day to reconnect with nature and disconnect with technology. One way to spend a quality time is through an adventure.  So for today's adventure I'm back to El Kabayo Falls. Yep I'm going to swim again and try jumping off the falls. Last time I wore denims and it wasn't comfy enough to move around. Since going out in nature means a lot of activities like walking, running and climbing. So I decided to put light clothes.

Green is nature's tone and it matches my clothes. From shorts-top-vest, it's all thrifted. 

*Lucky those who have patience to search, they are blessed*

The green highwaisted shorts is very soft and light. I like its weird yet unique zigzag design. Pair it with a loose crop top with tribal-like prints. Add a light green denim-like vest to cover up my top. Since we'll be under the sun, I put a hat and a sunnies to prevent my skin from sun damage.

Let's start swimming!
