August 2014: HAUL

Stressed?  Yes, but most importantly it's my birthday month so I allowed myself to spend on some things (not all, I have to be practical).  First stop is Forever21.  I almost got a leather jacket and another boots (which is the one that I've been eyeing in F21 US site) but I have to think thrice and weigh every pros and cons and cons won (I don't know how to rock leather in a warm humid weather).


So I pick some tops, just simple and basic ones that can be dress down or up.  I just love how the white shirt camouflages itself as formal with those texture (I remember that my mom has one of these just sitting in her closet only better when I was a kid and now I wish I kept and restore it.
I am always attracted to shirts with stripes...they just look nautical and refreshing and put together so I can't pass on the navy blue stripes shirt.  And when I got home I just realized that the two tops that I got from F21 are way pricier than my pants and was kinda a happy that I got another top (the flowery one) for just 250 pesos (that's less than $5) from a tiangge (hooray for tiannges!).


Still from Forever21, I got two black pants (although in the photo it's like dark blue) because they are on a reduced price and they almost perfectly fit me well (I can't find the perfect pants for my body type...I have weird body structure if you are wondering why).  They also already come with slim belts and I can roll the hem up (for a chic look) or down and they still look good.  They set great on my hips (not too high nor low), they have nice fabric and they are comfortable to wear!

I also bought a pair of Chucks because I miss them (I have 4 pairs before, I think) although I will only wear them on Friday's and maybe Sunday's too.  And another cheap shoes that I can use when walking going to work.


Other stuff that I bought are the plastic storage for my skincare products and makeup and them some other stuff recommended by my sister.  The A Bonne Spa Milk Salt is a cult favorite.  The Black Beauty Hot Oil with Vitamin E is my sister's happiness.  And the The Body Shop's hand cream are so light I got three (gave one to my sister) when I redeemed all my points and voucher from being ever so loyal with The Body Shop Philippines, I only paid 30 pesos, that's happiness for me!


Well, in just a day or two it's already September~"BER" months ,I can already smell christmas (why so fast!!!!).

July 2014: Boots, Signing Off, and a Little More

There are times that I'm just full of energy to blog that I post so much in just a week and then the laziness strikes and I'm like a ghost who disappears and suddenly appears just like now.  I'm just a bit lonely, uninspired, and un-accomplish this month (and even last June) that I can't find the energy to write the right words for product reviews but the good thing is, I have 95% of the photos I need this August and hopefully can put words into them to keep this blog alive and well kicking!  Oh I'm also a bit lazy to find all the videos of my playlist this month, internet kinda sucks (it's so slow, I can't even watch Claire Marshall's vlogs properly).


Aside from trying PNR (what an experience I must say), I'm also trying to incorporate some things that is not typical in my closet like the boots above.  I'm from a tropical country and wearing boots is just....just thinking about wearing them makes my feet sweat!  But hey, it's rainy season now and I got them on sale so why not.  The only problem is the opening is just so wide that my only choice is to tuck my skinny jeans and I'm still not used  to it.  Share any ideas to me on how to wear this boots properly and the "stylish" yet simple way!

And because I'm feeling lonely, I shop! but there's no skincare or makeup products this time.  Just clothes but I deleted all my photos since most of them are just basic, so I will just show you this denim button down shirt which I've been dying to have since last year and finally found a piece in my size!  These are comfortable to wear and quite versatile, love it much!


And lastly, properly saying goodbye to these three thru blog post because they served me well.  As you can see the brushes' hairs are falling like crazy and they gave me "whiskers" whenever I use them now and the blush I think is already expired because I bought and started using it like more than a year ago and cream blushes are only good for a year, I don't want to risk so Goodbye to Artish Studio Powder Brush, Ecotools Mini Kabuki Brush, and ELF Blush--thank you for being a part of my early stage kaartehan!


I hope everyone will have a great August, I'm looking forward to this month.  I'll be a ghost again for some days or weeks but I'll be back, for sure :) so stick around!
