inside carrie's closet

Just when I thought I had figured out a style I could maintain for awhile, Carrie Bradshaw has come by storm and completely changed my mind. I've decided to completely revamp my closet with color sweaters, banana shaped earrings and a whole lot of tulle. 

It's never too late to achieve your inner ballerina dreams. 

Think of all the D.I.Ys I can do! Cheap costume jewelry with neon nail polishes, one of a kind buttons made into rings and earrings, and even stenciled sweaters. Oh, the possibilities are endless. 

I can even overindulge on prints (polka-dots paired with stripes and LOT of  hounds-tooth).

Whenever I buy a Carrie worthy piece (or hopefully an entire outfit) I'll update you all. 

Fingers crossed my search for neon-sweaters-with-bunnies-and-paint-splats will not be in vain. 

i loved it sew much!

It's official! The Little Serenade has had their first ever mall show-ish. Elle, Hannah and I were asked to sing at the Sew Easy event in Town Center last Satuday!

Sew Easy is the really cute sewing camp for kids. They made and modeled off their own clothes. How rad is that? 

Unfortunately, I don't have actual pictures of the event because I was too busy being nervous but you can always enter the Instagram hashtag #seweasyforkids to check out photos from that day. 

I do however have pre-event photos of us walking around. 

Sister Style

Sam being too cool for us.

The Little Serenade rehearsing.

Waiting for the event to start. Oh, my hair is blue again. 

Getting crazy together with a little Charades. 

I think we're pretty cute. 

Also, thanks to Luis for kidnapping my camera so that I have photos. Haha. 

you're just my type

It's been a busy week of submitting Midterms and finding out what Finals is going to be, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna deprive you guys of pictures from a great event!

Last March 15-16 there was an exhibit called Type Kita held at No. 10 Alabama in Quezon City.

The place itself was this old house that sold resurrected furniture (I have never wanted side tables so much in my life.)

Vintage typewriters from Qwerty Manila.

Pieces for sale whose profits go to Typhoon Yolanda victims.  

And a bunch of other great stuff that made my wallet freak out a tad bit. 

Elle, hand painted and these awesome Chalkboard Cookies. Contact Pink Teacup Shoppe if you're interested in ordering! 

Sam and I walked around a lot, bought awesome stuff and enjoyed some Sorbetes.

Overall, a day well spent. Can't wait for the next one. 

As per usual  photos taken by the very wonderful:

i'm craving apple pie

Midterms for English II was just my cup of tea. As a kid making "fake" ads was one of my favorite things to do. I still remember the countless chocolate bars I drew with slogans such as "Going Loco for Coco". 

We were told to create an ad (billboards or commercials) of any product we wanted. It didn't matter when said product would come out. 15-20 years from now, anything was possible.

The Candy Crate-or is a tablet that absorbs the flavor of whatever food you pick. It 's as big as an Altoid, has only 20 calories each and is well within one's budget. About a 2 dollas fifty for a pack of 20 pieces. 

It comes inside a special crate that helps seal flavor  so that your candy won't loose its freshly baked apple pie flavor. 

best buys & good tunes

I consider most of my best buys to be magazines for cheap. Especially magazines you can cut up and make into something else (after reading each one thoroughly of course). 

Two copies of Surfer for only P10 each! Think of all the envelopes I can make.  

I'm currently making a playlist of my favorite songs for the month of March. I'll put them up within the month. But so far, this is what I've got.

meal time: filipino food

The other day my dad and I took a drive to Bulacan. Now, I've always been iffy about trying Filipino food, I'm more of an American and Italian food kind of girl, but deep fried pork is something you just can't say no to.

This small food shop on some corner in Bulacan has the best Lechon Kawali. It's like bitting into butter. Three pieces later and I think my arteries swimming in it. 

Best P70 meal I've stumbled upon in a while.
