Hollywood Celebrities in Casual Attire

Here are some more of my favorite Hollywood celebrities caught donning casual clothes. I know they're all people, like you and me but they're far from regular. So it's just nice when we get to catch a glimpse of them wearing something casual.

Jennifer Lopez - People Magazine's 2011 Most Beautiful is returning to American Idol next season. Even with just simple makeup and a casual dress, this 41 year old performer still look hot.

Tube Top Jump Shorts + Dupe Slippers

I bought a tube jump shorts from one of my Sexy Nomad Apparel collection last January and it's only last Saturday that I got to wear it when my husband and I went windsurfing at Surf Kamp in Lake Caliraya.

I Only Had One Pair of Shoes Last Valentine's Weekend

I really wasn't expecting to have a fabulous Valentine's day, more so a grand Valentine's weekend. We were supposed to just stay in Mandarin Oriental Hotel for one night. But then Peter and Pops wanted to stay another night. I didn't bring any extra clothing for the occasion but I figured, my gladiator boots can go with anything.

At Mandarin Oriental Hotel from Feb. 12-14

Smurfs Backpack from Clipper

I didn't realize that I wasn't able to blog about one of the few things I bought last New Year --- a Smurfs backpack from Clipper!

Peter and I found ourselves at Festival Mall to buy materials for my soap making adventure. After getting everything we needed, we were just supposed to go to Goldilocks to have a hearty lunch when we passed by Clipper and Peter wanted to see some backpacks. He actually bought one for himself, a much bigger version of my Smurfs backpack, but with superhero characters as the design.


Then I thought I would need one too especially since I plan to travel light this summer for my 6-week stay in Boracay. So, I browsed their entire backpack collection until I saw one that screamed "Buy me! Buy me!"


Smurfs and I go a long way back. They're one of my most favorite cartoon characters while growing up. I guess it was because I related a lot to Smurfette in a vain and self-absorbed kind of way to the point that even my college blockmates used to call me Smurfette because I always seemed to be living in my own little bubble (I still do, hehe). No wonder when I saw the smurfs on the bag, I immediately bought it.

So that's the story of my Smurfs backpack. Can't wait to introduce it to Boracay this summer. ^_^

The Parvati Fashion

When my husband and I went to Parvati last Sunday to taste the various home-baked desserts they offer, I couldn't help but notice how stylish some of the guests were. I'd like to share here some of the photos we took in between bites of their delectable goodies.

I wanted to look prim and proper so I donned my Anne Taylor purple dress with a cream crocheted cardigan top, tied up my hair in a bun and wore my purple crocs. The rest of the ladies (with Roch on the right, the one who had me invited to come taste the wonderful goodies of Parvati) were wearing gorgeous heels to match their fab clothes.

My Resorts World Manila Getup

I've had a bad case of "I've got nothing to wear!" that evening Peter and I went to Resorts World Manila for the launch of Grand Fiesta Manila 2010 and Grand Fiesta Run 2010. I have numerous attires in mind but nothing fitted me well! Huhuhu. This calls for more exercise and less intake of carbs, which was why I didn't eat a lot even if there were a lot of delicious Chinese food being served at Passion Restaurant that evening. And like I always tell myself, when I feel fat, just wear black. I have this loose black butterfly blouse, which has been a part of my clothes collection before for the Sexy Nomad Apparel, which I've been saving for occasions like this. It's still a bit loose for my frame but at least, it made me feel not too fat. ^_^ I wore it with my old jeans, silver sandals & pearls and voila --- I may have looked simple but I think I also looked chic & fab. ^_^

My Bubble Tea Attire

It's seldom that I get to plan what to wear on the go. Most of the time, it takes me a whole day to contemplate about what to wear to a certain event. But when I went to Bubble Tea, for some reason, I just happen to pick up the perfect clothes in my closet. Prior to going to Bubble Tea in Tomas Morato, I have been awake then for 24 hours, my work was up til my neck and I had no time to prepare. I just took a quick bath, dried myself and picked the first set of clothes that I saw. Voila --- my whole Bubble Tea getup wasn't so bad after all. Even if I'm going to their farthest branch from where I live (they also have a branch in SM Megamall, SM North Edsa and a new one will open next month in Wilson street, Greenhills), my getup was comfortable enough for commuting.

My Funky Bowling Outfit ... NOT!

I was feeling girly that particular evening that I didn't really play in the funky bowling game hosted by the SM Bowling Center at Mall of Asia. I guess I just didn't want to take off my nice silver pumps or ruin my new ruffled blouse by lying on the floor and doing all sorts of funky bowling stunts. That or I was just really having raging hormones due to my period. Teehee.

Summer Wear at Enchanted Kingdom

Exploring Enchanted Kingdom and enjoying its many attractions can really tire and sweat you out. This is why when my hubby and I spent our Easter Sunday there, I made sure I had some change of clothes with me. But I didn't change my getup until I got myself wet with all the water rides. ^_^

Beach Wear for Malapascua Island

I just want to document my beach getup when we went to Malapascua last time:

Philippine Flag Color Fashion

Red, White, Blue and Yellow... They do look pretty together.I didn't even realize it when I chose to wear such colors on the weekend we went shopping & food tripping in Subic.

Shopping at Cubao Expo

On March 7, 2010, Sunday, I went to Cubao Expo for the 2nd time to see what the fuss is about. It's been ages since I last bought ukay-ukay items (I used to buy in Baguio, Tagyatay and QC). For one, I thought I already stopped buying something that's already been used, and two, I just didn't feel the need to go. But since it's a lazy summer day and the tiangge in Eastwood suddenly disapperaed (Ninette and I were supposed to buy more fur shoes and beach wear), we opted to check out Cubao Expo instead.

This was the same day I bought all my 5 pairs of Janilyn shoes.

Purple Getup

Last Feb. 27, my hubby and I stayed overnight at a Php30 Million Peso house in Antipolo. I wanted to travel light, as always, and so I just prepared one motif for that weekend - PURPLE. Here are what I wore:

Casual Getup on a Weekend

On my birthday weekend last month, I came up with four casual attires perfect for my scheduled activities. For my Momolicious birthday lunch and dinner with family, this was what I came up with: YRYS dress, knitted cardigan and beige tube top from SM, beaded necklace and bracelet which I made myself, Baby G-shock waterproof watch, shades and my reliable Crocs

Summer Wear, Beach Fashion & Party Dresses - My Birthday Loot

I turned 32 last Feb. 18, 2010. But deep inside I still feel like the same Jen I used to be when I was 21 years old --- young, carefree, hopeful, and grateful about life. Maybe I'm just a bit wiser now when it comes to stuff that really matters (like finding my bliss, giving more, paying for a house, car, insurance and other big ticket stuff). So when it comes to money, I don't care much about the brands of stuff I buy especially if it's just clothes and fashion accessories, but as long as I'm comfy & they make me look pretty, as long as the material can withstand the test of time, as long as it's within my budget and means, I go all out for it! So, on my birthday, aside from spending it with my family in Subic doing frightening and life-conquering stunts at TREETOP ADVENTURE, I also spent it with my hubby shopping!!! Here they are:

All these clothes on top say one thing: BEEEEAAAACCCHHHHH!!!!!! ^_^

Jen Gaga Over Leggings

I must have bought around 10 pairs of leggings at Timesquare in Kuala Lumpur when I went there last January 6-8, 2010 so it's all I wear every time I have the chance. They're so comfortable and light and reminds me of my childhood days in the 80's and teendom in the 90's. For me, they have so many uses they could never run out of style. Haylaveeeet!

Black Dress and Yellow Ballerina Shoes

The day before typhoon Ondoy devastated our country, Sept. 25, 2009, I braved the rains in the metropolis and travelled from Alabang to Ortigas to attend N.E.W. (Network of Enterprising Women)'s Networking Party. I didn't have time to think of what to wear so I grabbed the first thing that came to mind--- dress on top of a tube and flat shoes. It's light and it's comfy. In case I get wet, the fabric dries up easily too.

The Fashionable Look of an Insomniac

Here's my look today... look of someone who hasn't had any sleep since yesterday. Hehehe. Find out HERE why I haven't been sleeping much lately...

Casual Getup on A Busy Day

This was my getup when I was running around the Metro taking care of one business after a another, including a blogging event. Thank God for my Crocs, I didn't mind walking several kilometers around Ortigas, from Meralco Ave. to Emerlad Ave. to Robinson's and back. Whew!

Weight Loss For The Fashionista

For a long time, my weight has yoyoed between 105-110 lbs. It would depend on whether I exercised that particular week or binged on my favorite food (pasta, rice, cake and ice cream). But ever since I started drinking Vita Plus vegetable drink, with no exercise at all (I don't have time now) just after a week, I trimmed down to 100lbs! Just this afternoon, I weighed myself again and I'm now 99lbs!
