Charles and Keith Wedge Sandals and the Rest of My Birthday Loot

On my birthday weekend, I had a total of three attire changes. Hihihi. Aside from all the malling and walking around we did, we also spent time by the pool on Sunday morning and did other water-related activities so I had to wear something that's easy to take off, hence, this dress from one of my collections before.

The rest of our Sunday, I was dressed in a more stylish getup (puff sleeve blazer, faux fur Twinky boots, Givenchy handbag). As opposed to previous years when I'd buy a dozen pairs of shoes on my birthday, I am actually quite frugalicious this time around. Based on my experience, I never got to wear my lovely shoes (from Charles and Keith, People are People, Crocs, Manel's) as often as I had hoped so I told myself to stop hoarding once and for all and just buy what I need and really, really want.

Last month, I told you about this perfect pair of faux fur boots I got from Twinky and you'd be proud to know that I've already worn it at least 5 times! That's even more than the number of times I got to wear all those other two dozen shoes I bought before. Hehehe. A pat on my back is in order. 

Anyway, I also got myself early birthday presents late last month when I bought 3 pieces of puff sleeve blazers and this gorgeous pair of Charles and Keith strappy ankle wedge sandals.

Not a Reggae Attire

I don't think I ever wore a proper reggae attire whenever I went to see Brownman Revival play and I'm not about to start now. Going out of the house is a huge deal for me (being cooped up at home most of the time if I'm not traveling) so I make the most of it by dressing the way I like or depending on my mood.

Casual Ensemble by Net Bautista

I had my hair, makeup, and getup done by freelance makeup artist Net Bautista last weekend. She's a very good friend of mine and it was only at the start of this year that I discovered how passionate she really is about makeup. She's been doing freelance makeup gigs for half a year now and I was just so lucky to finally book an appointment with her. She did several looks on my face which you can read about here:

My Different Faces by Makeup Artist Net Bautista

On this post, I'd like to share with you the way Net Bautista styled not just my hair (I got to wear big curly ones!), but my attires for that day as well --- two simple and casual ensembles. I am in the process of choosing which ones I really like for framing and stuff. Anyway, below are my favorite shots taken by my hubby, Peter Juan.

Charles and Keith 4-inch Strappy Heels

Remember when I told you that I bought 8 pairs of shoes for my birthday? Last year, I did the same thing but it I think it only cost me 20% or less of what I spent for my shoes this month. I'm normally not like this. But since I only buy shoes once a year now, I guess it's okay to splurge. Plus, I've been working so hard so I believe I deserved a treat, don't you think? ^_^

Anyway, let me share with you one of these fabulous pairs of shoes: my Charles and Keith 4-inch Open-Toed Pumps. They are just sooo comfortable!!!
