Screaming Neon

Neon colors are one of the rage these days. I'm not really one to dress up loudly, but when I came across this tulip skirt from Liberte at Robinson's department store, that was so cheap, who was I to pass it up? :)

Shirt- Forever 21; skirt- Liberte; heels- People are People; accessories- Mia Casa

I still can't believe I got a great deal for such a wonderful skirt. If you guys are wondering, I got it for only Php 550! I'm now so in love with Robinson's department store. :) I wore this outfit on a day at church. Since I was going neon, I put on my loudest, colored heels.

They went well together, don't you think? For the rest of my outfit, I just wore a simple shirt and matching black accessories to tone down the look a bit. :)

I am in love with these pieces. They are inspired jewelry from famous fashion houses. If you're like me who's on a budget, cheap, fashionable jewelries are the way to go.

My Sister's Graduation

I wanted to share a quick post on my little sister's High School Graduation. :) I'm so proud of her for being able to over come so much trials and hardships at such a young age. Soon, she's off to college. :) I love you, Pam.

It was definitely a looooong day. We didn't graduate in the same high school so it was actually my first time attending a conventional high school graduation. :)

The Pink Bag

Long time noooooo BLOG! I really can't keep this thing going much but still trying. :) For a few weeks now, I've been hunting for a great concealer. I have a Mac Pro Longwear Concealer but I was not satisfied, because, for one, I hate the pump that comes with it. It dispenses too much product which can actually cover up the whole of your face. Anyway, like every cosmetic purchase I make, I did my research. There were a lot of runner-ups and guess who one? :)

Can you guess what's inside the bag?

It's the Boi-ing concealer from Benefit! I was choosing between this and TheBalm Time Balm but this was more accessible for me. Or maybe I just got lazy to locate a Beauty Bar near me. :)) Can you see that little guy on the right side? :))

It's the Nyx Concealer in a Jar. My friend, Abi, from church gave it to me because it didn't match her skin tone. That's a double win. :) I got two new concealers in two days. :)

I chose the Benefit Boi-ing because a lot of people were suggesting it to me. Also, whenever I searched for the best concealers out there, this one or the Benefit Erase Paste always came up in the list. There were a lot more great concealers out there but this is more in my price range. If only some bright mind would bring Sephora to the Philippines...:)

Here are more photos of the two concealers:

My shade is 04 Beige

I also got the 02 for the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer

Lonely Heart's Club

A post Valentine's dinner date with my closest friends. I may not be with a certain HIM, but at least my beautiful friends took his place. I had so much fun dressing up and doing all of their make-up. :) Dinner and drinks at Agave, Bonifacio High Street.

Just wanted to share with you a quick outfit post on what I wore on Christmas day. I celebrated this special day with my dad's side of the family. :) I had so much fun because I got to see my loved ones whom I only see on special occasions. As always, I'm all about comfort. Let's not forget the FLORAL touch to my outfit. ;) I will be posting pictures from our little gathering once I get the photos. :)

Hope you guys had a lovely Christmas day!

Outfit of the Day: The Hi-low Minimalist

shirt-WTC Bazaar; skirt-Forever21; flats-Janilyn

I'm so in love with the hi-low trend. :) I've had this skirt for a little while and I haven't figured out where to wear it yet. I took the challenge and wore it to work yesterday. I got lots of compliments for its "flowiness." :)

Love lots,
Maple

Clad in Plaid

Shirt- Baclaran; Skirt- Forever21; Necklace-Tango

A little outfit of the day post. :) The shirt is a gift from my tita. I've never owned anything plaid so this is something new for me. I paired it with a girly lace skirt and some hardware. :)) I just wore my Parisian nude flats with the whole outfit. It was a busy day at the office. Gah.

Love lots,
Maple

Outfit of the day: The Cheer Leading Doll

I'm back! It's been sooooo long since I posted anything! I can't believe it's been a month! Anyway, I'll try to get back on track and be interesting. :)) Just wanted to share with you what I wore to the office last Friday, Oct. 7. The inspiration of my outfit is sort of like what cheer leaders wear to practice, I guess. It was one of those lazy days at the office so I decided to wear this:

Top and skirt- Forever 21; Flats-Parisian; Necklace- The Bead Shop

My "DOLL" sweater shirt

I can't believe it's almost Christmas! Til the next post!

For the love of MAXI

I was browsing through Nordstrom's website just now. I got the inspiration from Blair Fowler, a Youtube beauty guru who featured this gorgeous maxi dress in a video. I was trying to look for it online (Nordstrom) but found this heaven of a dress instead:

Source: Nordstrom.com

The only problem, I cannot afford it to the life of me. :)) Well, if any of you are interested, Nordstrom is now shipping internationally. This dress is also free of shipping! If only...plugging much? :)) As of now, I'll enjoy the sight of this picture. When I find a similar dress, I'm totally grabbing one.

Love lots,

Maple
