CHEESECAKES AND CROSSES

Hey guys! My first week of summer was pretty eventful, and I'm stoked for my upcoming plans for the next 2 weeks. I'm really trying to make the most out of my mini-summer before the official semester starts. By that time, I probably won't have the freedom to indulge in a lot of things that aren't school-related, so I'm trying to fit all the things I want to do with the last few bits of free time that I have.

I decided to wear this outfit for a night out with my friends, and I love how the color palette looks so pleasing to the eyes. Although my beloved black x white combo can never be rivalled, white x blue is probably a close second. I love how fresh and easy it is on the eyes, and it's just really really pretty to look at.

Although I have been wearing printed pants for a while now, I still love how it can bring a lot of oomph to what would have been a boring outfit. I'm also loving this particular top right now because I really love the cut in the neckline and sleeve area. I feel like this kind of sleeveless top flatters my body type the best.

Hi mom, I want this chair for Christmas. I'm only half joking.

I have watched Paper Towns for about 3 times now! Although not a lot of people LOVE it, I certainly do! I can't really put into words as to why I love the movie so much, but I just do haha! Cara was pretty good, but Nat Wolff is slowly growing on me. If you did not like the book, I honestly think the movie would be more enjoyable. I myself did not like the book, but the movie adaptation was A+ for me. So if you haven't watched it yet, I suggest that you do!

All these lovely photos were once again taken by Alicia Antonio! I posted her links in my previous post, but I'll leave them down below again so you can check out more of her works!

I hope you guys had a lovely week, and thank you for reading this post! I hope you guys enjoyed it too! Stay tuned for the next one! :)

Basics

Hey guys! It's been raining like crazy in Manila this week, due to 2 storms entering the country. I absolutely love this weather, because I can wear sweaters and cardigans without melting into a puddle of sweat. The weather makes me feel extremely sleepy though, so it's not exactly ideal for productivity. I love the rain (and suspension of classes), but I really hope that everyone stays warm and dry!

In this post are a few shots of some of my favourite basic items in my closet that I can mix and match with anything.

First up is this black cropped top that is extremely versatile, like it can literally go with anything. Cropped tops in basic colours can be paired with any kind of bottoms, and can be worn on its own or with a cover-up. It can even be layered by putting another top under or over it. The length of the cropped top I'm wearing here is not something I'd wear to school or a formal event, but it's something I'd wear when I'm just chillin' with friends. To make it more school-appropriate, I would layer something under or over it and it would still look stylish in my opinion. I also like cropped tops with tiny details that make quite a difference, like the zipper in the middle.

Next we have this oversized baseball shirt/cover-up. I've had it for quite a while now, and I use it quite a lot! It's easy to pair with any kind of inner blouse or any pair of bottoms. I also love how it lends a casual/street feel to an outfit. The pattern isn't exactly overwhelming that it clashes with other prints or colours, so it's not hard to find an outfit to match it. Plus points for it being extremely comfy!

I'm in love with anything high-waisted, so when I found the perfect pair of boyfriend jeans that were ripped AND high-waisted, I was extremely elated. I can wear this with ANYTHING, especially if I want to add a certain "street style" vibe. I love how you can fold it up and it can completely transform your whole look. The rips are also strategically placed in a way that just looks perfect to me. And I also love how it's in a wash that is quite difficult to find, but not hard to pair with!

Yeah, my phone is basically glued to my hand so I guess it counts as an essential! Haha.

So I've been basically living in these sneakers ever since my summer sem started. I practically wear these EVERYDAY. It just goes with all of my outfits, and it totally ups my style game. Aside from the fact that white is a very basic colour, I love how it brightens up a boring outfit. And they're extremely comfy to walk around in!

The next set of photos are gonna be rooftop shots, and I absolutely love them! Enjoy looking through 'em! :)

Oh and I love this random ~~piece of uhhhh~~ thing (I'm so sorry haha) that we found made for an interesting background.

Yay for this pink wall!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed making it! My summer sem ends next week, so I'm looking forward to trying out new things and going on random adventures before my regular sem starts. Thanks for reading this post and stay tuned for the next one!
