A Boracay Summer

Sharing with you some snaps from our Boracay trip last summer...

Mellow Yellow

Top: F21 / Skirt & Heels: Zara (similar HERE and HERE) / Clutch: Neon Island / Cuff: Pretty Little Blings / Necklace: Mauve

I can't promise you that this skort won't ever appear in this blog again. Obviously, it's a favorite of mine and I'm wringing it for all of its worth (you can say that it's all dried up already). This is actually a backlog post which I forgot to schedule before. Thank goodness I have this post to save me from a probable series of non-existent posts. I'm really having some difficulty packing on outfit posts as the rainy weather is killing my mojo and it's really hard to snap photos in the rain. I'm not a fan of indoor shots (they turn out tacky and grainy) so I need to patiently wait for the right drizzle-less moment to get my outfit shots done. Can you feel my frustration and empathize with my situation (ooh, that rhymed)?

Mo' Marni, Mo' Problems

Skirt: Romwe (black version HERE) / Skirt & Heels: Zara / Top: Sheinside / Earrings: H&M / Wing Cuff: Juicy Couture / Eyewear: Karen Walker / Clutch: Neon Island

My apologies for the sloppy pace in posts. Apart from being preoccupied with work, the rainy season has finally closed in and I've been having difficulty (a.k.a. being lazy) dressing up for the cool, damp weather. I've also immersed myself into reading once again and my free time has been skewed towards devouring the words in the Mortal Instruments series and daydreaming about Jace (I'm a teen trapped in a not-so-womanly body. Haha!). Okay. Now on to the outfit. Yes, it's that infamous white skort again (which you can get at half the price HERE) paired with a resurrected Marni "inspired" shirt and my favorite summer clutch from Neon Island. These photos were actually taken weeks ago, back when the sun was still proudly scowling at us. This might have well been my last summer outfit post. Sigh.

Tropicale

Skirt: The Ramp / Jacket: Mango / Top: Romwe / Shoes: Alexander Wang / Eyewear & Earrings: SM Accessories / Bag: Neon Island

I'm letting the blogger-favorite-Zara skort rest for a while I put the spotlight on this Cameo The Label-inspired printed origami skirt from The Ramp. Love the playful mix of fabrics here and the unique waistband detail. Creativity ditched me as I was fumbling around on how to style this skirt so I had to resort to my tried-and-tested button down polo and leather jacket combo. It hasn't failed me yet. This look was almost slightly devoid of color so I had to punch it up with this adorable bird-print clutch from Neon Island. It's so perfect for summer. :)

Open Wide

Top, Pants, Heels: Zara / Eyewear: Karen Walker / I.D. Necklace: PlusMinusTimesDivide / Clutch: Neon Island

Sharks are one of the fiercest creatures that I fear the most. Blame it on "Jaws" and all of the other films featuring sharks as nasty flesh-tearing beasts. But I have to hand it to Givenchy for opening my eyes to a whole new world of shark-appreciation. While I still won't dare thread on shark-infested water, at least I get to marvel at the sight of a shark's jaws on print...and on clothes. This is not the time first I'm wearing a shark-printed piece though. Already wore a long sleeved one HERE. Again, muscle tees are a personal must-have this summer so spotting this Givenchy-inspired top in Zara and purchasing it in a heartbeat became almost instinctual. For this summer look, I opted for camo pants, added another animal in the mix with my leopard-print lace up sandals (current fave heels) and threw in a sunset print clutch (side note: I've been searching all over for a clutch like this and I'm so stoked that I stumbled upon one from Neon Island. There are other summer-perfect pieces such as tank tops and shirts from this brand so you better check them out!).

Happy Wednesday, everyone!
