My 2012 Summer Apparel - A Look Back

at the Sandbar in Iloilo

When I first set up this blog, it was just for documenting the kinds of looks I could come up with by mixing and matching the clothes I already have. I'm not just an emotional person, I'm pretty visual too and I tend to remember my experiences not just on how I felt about them (like that PAL inaugural flight to Bali or how I'm falling in love with my new guy best friend) but based on the clothes I've worn as well. (^_^)

My Windsurfing Ensemble

Going out of town can be quite exciting for me as I get to wear some of my clothes that I don't get to wear every day. One of these pieces is my  crocheted haltered top which I paired with a knitted cardigan sweater since it was a bit chilly that morning. I also wore my layered skirt and my super comfy Cushe slippers. 

When we reached Surf Kamp, I changed into my windsurfing ensemble. Aside from my old Fluidsurf rash guard, I also got to wear my new pair of board shorts and AXA aqua shoes which I bought sometime ago. Teehee. Happiness!

Magalawa Island Beach Wear

When we went to Magalawa island last weekend, I brought two pairs if bikinis with me. The rest of my beach apparel were just comfortable and skin-bearing outfits like this lingerie on the photo above which I paired with pekpek shorts (super skimpy shorts) for maximum exposure. LOL.

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.

Casual Purple

Purple is one of my most favorite colors, being an Aquarian and all despite the fact that it just sometimes look too dark for my skin tone but I do wear the color whenever I can. So one afternoon, that's what I did when my hubby and I went for a movie date at Festival Mall. Oh, this was my attire when we watched THOR!

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. ^_^

Marc Jacobs Sunglasses

I first wore my new pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses during my visit to Nuvali last week. I was with my fellow bloggers touring the whole place and doing all sorts of fun activities.

I like this new pair of shades that I have. Aside from the shape, the glasses itself are very comfortable to my eyes. the sun's glare is definitely lessened, and even if I was wearing them indoors, like let's say, while dining in a restaurant, it's not dark as it looks.

Here are some more photos of my new Marc Jacobs sunglasses. ^_^

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. ^_^

Cool Getups For Quezon Island Getaway

Last Holy Week, my hubby and I visited Quezon and explored some of the beaches in Padre Burgos. Here's sharing with you the summer getups I wore during that vacation...

Bikini Wear from factory 2-U

When we went shopping last weekend, Peter and I passed by factory 2-U locatedin Alabang Town Center and found this bikini I liked:

Tankini Wear at The Factory Outlets

In Alabang Town Center, The Factory Outlets was having a sale when I chanced upon these gorgeous tankinis! They are buy-one-take-one for Php599. Feeling indulgent, I bought myself 4 pairs of tankinis. Yahoo! The tankinis I bought are perfect for my upcoming beach escapades. I may need more coz I'll be beach hopping all summer. :)

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!!!!!! ^_^

Fashionable Summer Outfits 2009 Part II

I know, I know. The weather these days can be very unpredictable but still, I believe that our days in the sun are not yet over. No, no, no, no, no. So before the skies totally rain on our parade, I just wanna share the second installment of my summer attire collection based on what I wore when I went to Jakarta and Bali last March 20-26, 2009. If you want to see the rest of my blog posts pertaining to this trip, you may do so here. Otherwise, here are my simple, semi-bohemian, and cool summer outfits:

Fashionable Bikini Wear

I've been busying myself today doing last minute shopping and packing for my trip to Indonesia tomorrow, March 2oth. To make sure that I won't have any problems sashaying down the beaches of Bali, I bought three new swimsuits. Teehee.

Fashionable Summer Outfits 2009 Part I

Believe it or not, this was the costume I donned in one of my recent job interviews. I was asked to wear something that best captures my essence. Since I am The Sexy Nomad and I love going to the beach and traveling to exotic places more than anything in the world, I figured, a nice "touristy" beach wear would be perfect.
