LAST OF THEM

Yup, it's the last of my Japan outfits finally! This last day was a total last minute outfit plan - just my mom's coat. I was supposed to wear something else but it was too cold already, I just couldn't. But still, that didn't stop me from baring skin hehehe! 

What I love about out of the country trips is being able to dress up differently from your usual. I can't wear this in the Philippines - I'll surely die of heat stroke from the inside of my coat! I love how simple the pieces are but together, it's a powerful boom!!! Dark colors always convey strength in the eyes of the beholder hahaha!

What do you think of my look? 

RED

PLAYFUL. The best word to describe such ensemble. Don't you just love it?? Cause I'm completely head over heels! Probably my favorite out of all my Japan outfits! The red socks from Closet Projx is to die for! It was the cherry on top - I didn't even know I'd actually be able to work out something. This was my focal point cause I bought it especially for Japan. I was actually scared of what the outcome might be, cause that piece of clothing is really not something to mess with. It is easy to go wrong with those bold socks. Whew! Cheers to the stylist in me. Haha! Also, I have to thank my sister for the white sneakers from Bershka I didn't think she'd let me borrow cause it was just sooooo... white. (I never allow her to use any white thing from me btw)  So thanks sistaaar, Tricia Atienza! You can find her on instagram @triciaatienza. 

You can follow me too! @lykaatienzaaa Hihi! 

Btw, maybe you noticed the minimal number of pictures? It's because my dad was taking them. Love my dad for having to kneel down on one knee and follow my every demand for outfit photos. Hahaha! He was tired by the end of the trip cause of this. Thanks dad!!!

COME AND PLAY

This was what I wore when I went to Tokyo Disney Sea on our 3rd day in Japaaaan!!! I just love how the shirt speaks what my mind was screaming the whole time I was in this magical place!!! It was the perfect dress to wear but I tell you I was freezing!!! We went to Disney Sea while a storm was in Tokyo (I know, brave souls right?) and gosh, I wasn't prepared! Good thing my mom had an extra coat I could wear to keep me warm! Buuut! Since it didn't really suit the whole outfit, hence, it was removed. And again, because of the storm, outfit photos were taken indoors. The background is a door in one of the restaurants in the Arabian Coast (you can say it's Aladdin and Jasmine's territory) Yes, that is why it's gold and has that geometric aesthetic. I tell you Disney Sea is a beauty!!! It's similar to Disney land but it's also different in many ways. I don't exactly know how to describe it but the fact is both attractions gave me chills! In Filipino, sooooo kilig!!! 

Anyhoo, as you can see, the knee socks and black booties combo are back!!! You can't blame me, I only do it out of the country since we have a different aesthetic in the Philippines, so whisk away! I'm warning you, it will be back again. Hehe! The collar is just something I added to keep the ensemble looking smart amidst the playfulness of it all. And finally, a ponytail... which was actually due to the requirements of the weather. Stormy or sunny, I tell you, the experience is totally worth it!!! Can't wait to blog about the trip soooooon!!!

HELLO SKIES OF BLUE

Goodbye clouds of grey, hello skies of blue.

A dip in the pool, a trip to the spa.

Endless days in my chaise

The whole world according to moi!!!

Excuse me, thank you. ;)

Well, hello hello to my fabulous ACTIVE blog!

I'm so sorry for being the MIA blogger for the past 3 months (ehem college)... at least now, it's safe to say I can move on, with flying colors, to FOURTH YEAR COLLEGE! Wooohoo!!!  

And since there are no more school work that can block my way, I am back on this blog baby! ...and back from the hospital. No worries, just had my appendix removed. Hihi! 

And since it's the start of summer, I just thought of starting this post with one of my favorite songs from the summer movie High School Musical 2!!! The song is just perfect for summer and, well, it's the perfect fabulosity song! I'm sure all the girly girls out there have dreamed, at least once, of living a life like Sharpay Evans - I know I have. (Hey, you better love HSM!) 

You have to admit, even if she's the mean girl, she's the mean girl you love. (Like Regina George from the Mean Girls) Hahaha!

ANYWAY!!! On to the outfit, it's not really summer-y but instead it's a last day of school outfit, I guess. So I should have placed here "What time is it? Summertime!" (okay, okay, enough with HSM)

Seeeeee! It's perfect for school right! Preppy & fun!!! It's not too loud but it can definitely get you on the school's lookbook. It has just the right mix of neutrals and greens, and has the cutest silhouette; but what makes this special is those little details: like the fluorescent yellow heels, the gray and blue socks, and the red "clubmaster" sunglasses which gives this a bit of an edge.

Whew! Feels good to write again! Till the next post, which I promise will come soon! Hehe. :) 

URBANIZED

You might be wondering why "Urbanized"? 

It's because I feel like this outfit tells the story of a country girl who lived in the city for quite some time and was able to adapt the urban fashion... Are you getting what I'm trying to say? Hehe! 

The denim shorts, the checkered polo, the floral necklace, the socks and the bag that's shaped like a basket exude the breezy and relaxing atmosphere of the country side; while the white shirt that's buttoned up to the collar, the pumps, and the rings and watch are the representations of the busy streets of the city.  

See how fashion can express so much? 

Oh, that's just one of the many things we love about it. 

So the next coming photos are just products of my vanity. I wanted to pose like a sweet country girl. :)

Yes, that is my awkward self. :)
