Summer state of mind

Yesterday I woke up at 6am (to prepare hubby's breakfast) and noticed that the sky was still dark. This signals the end of summer and the onset of autumn. I was quite sad to see summer go=( This morning and up until afternoon, it just rained.

So today I decided to do a tribute for summer.

I used the same maxi dress during my preps for our wedding, so this has got to be one of the few dresses that I will never forget (aside from the fact that it was only $5! What a bargain!) Since Canberra has very erratic weather (you can have all 4 seasons in a day!), it is only but practical that I learn how to layer my clothes.

I topped the halter maxi dress with a knitted black cardigan which was ukay-bought (P50). The details on the cardi reminds me of the "bola-bola" (sticky/glutinous balls)  in Ginataan. Isn't it cute? Like you have to resist the urge to pluck them out or something.

Summer my friend, most of the time you had been harsh but I will surely miss and long for you especially when winter sets in. Until next time...

Where the wild things are

To tell you honestly I am not a big fan of mixing print on print. But today, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and be a little adventurous.

I paired the batik black and white printed jumpsuit (or onesies as I would call it- very similar to what infants wear) with black-plum-and-gray cardigan, both from Tightrope (each costs $3-$5 only!)

It turned out quite well. I topped the whole look with Harlow-inspired necklace from Jean and Rosz-- who by the way has a very strong ang cohesive collection without bleeding your wallet dry (check out their blog, http://jeanandrosz.blogspot.com/)

And to soften the whole look a bit, a studded-lavender sandals from Mario D' Boro (SM):

Onset of Autumn

I woke up today, reached on my bedside and checked the following:

1) Email Notifications
2) Pulse
3) Friend Stream for HTC
4) Weather Forecast.

Autumn is coming soon because it's starting to get cold especially in the mornings. I do not want to part with my shorts and sleeveless yet, so here's a compromise.

Headband: Bayo; Top from a bazaar: Cardigan gifted by my husband (Hong Kong night market); Yellow Shorts from Greenhills; Pink Tights from SM; Yellow Lace shoes from Shoebox
