on the stairs

I am not rich but I am blessed, I may not have all the clothes that I want

but I can wear a piece of clothing in a different way or so.

Haha. Okay, I always repeat clothes but who doesn't? 

It's just a matter of how you're going to style it in a different way.

Do you agree??? 

Obviously, this is another outfit post wearing my heart 

print top that I wore  on this post

something in the water

I like staring and taking photos of clouds, there's something about them

that make me feel better and full of hope. 

and the reflection of clouds on this photo is so wonderful.

friday night remix : mustard maxi dress

I can't seem to find old outfit photos since my pc is acting weird for quite a while now

and all my old outfit photos are there. I have to open my pc, get and transfer them

 to a flash drive and save it here on my laptop. whew!!! 

That's the reason why I can't update this segment every friday. Anyway I found 

some  photos on my facebook account so here, another post for  FRN :)

wondering where I bought this maxi dress???...

hearts and bows

A heart print top for a single bee like me. I'm not in a hurry to be in a

 relationship again but I am ready to jump and ready to fall in love once more.

Anyway, about this outfit I love how my pink bow belt pops!!!

a new start

Happy Saturday lovely bees!

This is what I wore for a job interview last Monday

and I got the job! woohoo! I would say that it must have been 

the lucky baby pink cropped blazer! :) 

Monday will be my first day at work and I'll be working from 8am-6pm.

Thank goodness that I don't have to wear any uniforms yet, I just 

hope that I can post my daily outfits here. I'm excited

not for work but for daily outfits. Haha :) 

Oh! Thanks to my 8 year old cousin who took these photos using
my camera. I fixed the settings and just taught her how to properly
 hold my dslr and tadaaah! I think she did great! :)

wired world

This is what I wore for PhFW S/S 2013 Day 6 and
I know most of you guys are tired and got used to mullet skirt but to
be honest this was my first time to try a mullet skirt and I liked it.
I feel a little bit more girly. Thanks tomy sister for allowing me
to wear her skirt. I decided to use my wire headband again cuz
it's been a long time since the last time I used it and it's more than
enough so I opted not to wear any other accessories :)

headband - Anagon Collection

top - thrift shop

skirt - pink manila

shoes - Rajo! for Parisian

bag - thrift shop

Love, Maria 

how i'm longing for this love affair to start

I remember how excited I am to wear this brocade cropped blazer and

 lace skirt together in one outfit someday. I knew that they would be a 

perfect match (well, at least for me perfect match sila hehe) all I have to do 

is wait for the right time and event where it would be acceptable to wear them. 

Luckily I got some invites for Philippine Fashion Week and the long 

wait is over.I got a chance to put 2 of my favorite treasures together 

and I wore them during the Day 2 of PHFW :)

brocade blazer - thrifted

lace skirt - thrifted & altered

shoes - Gold Dot

clutch - vintage from my grandma

bow belt - genevieve gozum

Love, Maria

frequently worn

I found this chambray top 2 years ago and since then
I frequently or I should say, I overused this top.
If only I have the chance to take some outfit shots every time
I wear this top, I'm sure mauumay kayo sa chambray top. haha :)

So far, this is my favorite outfit wearing this top.
I think it really goes well with my lace short and with the wedges.
What do you think lovely bees???

chambray top - thrifted

shorts - thrifted

wedges - Shoe Etiquette

bag - night market

ring - genevieve gozum

Love, Maria

p.s I'll be posting a friday night remix featuring this chambray top :)

friday night remix : chiffon dress & mr. mustard

This chiffon dress is one of my favorite treasures!

I love the material and the crochet details of this dress. 

The first photo was taken last January 2011, when I went to a

 breakfast date, Feeling a bit girly so I decided to wear the dress as

 it is.The second photo was taken last March 2011, I remember some of my 

schoolmates gave me this odd stare as I walk on the corridor with 

these clogs. Si Marimar ang peg ng clogs ko eh, bakit ba? haha :)

The bag is also one of my favorite, I named it Mr. Mustard and I got 

it from Egg. I overused this bag since January 2011 until one day, 

Mr. Mustard gave up on me. I miss using this bag but I understand

 that it's time for Mr. Mustard to take a rest.

dress - thrifted

bag - egg

ballet flats - night market

clogs - so fab

Love, Maria

friday night remix : power shoulder blazer

I bought this blazer in Greenhills for less than Php.500 at the
perk of power shoulder trend here in Manila. Took these photos last
December 2010, after almost 2 years of owning this blazer,
 it doesn't fit me anymore because I gain some extra pounds so I
decided to let it go and sell it for less than Php.200
during our garage sale last June. I hope the girl who bought
this blazer is in love with it as much as I did before.

embellished top - thrifted

bag - random brand

Miss Brown

I know you're sick of this pink and white striped wall of my room (me too) 

but please bear with me lovely bees, I'm currently single so there's no 

"ze boy" to take my outfit photos, I don't want to be a burden to my friends 

whenever they have to take my photos, and my mom doesn't know 

how to use my camera so I'm stuck with my tripod and 

self-timer mode of my camera.

Maybe I should buy a small tripod, gather all the courage that I have, 

and be brave enough to do this "self-timer outfit photos" out side 

or teach my mom how to use my camera. 

I guess the latter one is the best option. haha :)

top - thrifted

shorts - from my sister

bag- greenhills

shoes - parisian

Love, Maria

Ever since, I am very conscious about my big ears and I would do my best just to
hide them until I realize that I've got to accept and  love my big ears,

I decided to slash another item from my 21 before 22 list
