My Teeny Bopper Getup

First and foremost, I have no illusions of being super young. But sometimes, it's nice to be able to pull off an attire and have younger people believe that I'm the same age as them. Hihihi! Okay, seriously, that wasn't my plan at all. I just wanted to stop wearing my usual A-line and tube dresses that day coz I don't like it when people ask me if I'm pregnant just because those dresses make me look like one (or I'm getting fat). 

Sexy Makeup and Style by Net Bautista

Here are the rest of the photos taken by my husband, Peter Juan, when Net Bautista did my hair and makeup one Saturday afternoon. After the simple and casual look she made, Net wanted to create a sexy / vixen look for me so she had some of my barely used Victoria's Secret lingerie taken out of the closet. She chose two corset pieces I particularly like coz they're also my favorite among all my Victoria's Secret lingerie collection.

The first one I wore was the light pink corset with black lace and ruffles. I paired it with my knee-high Mango boots to complete the sexy / vixen look:

I Wore My Peep Toe Demi Boots

My pair of peep toe demi boots is one of those pairs I bought from People are People. I wore them that Day I went on a movie date with Peter. I wasn't sure how long my feet would last in those super high heels so I figured, why not just wear them on a simple movie date? That way, I won't be walking as much and Peter wouldn't have to carry me in case my feet start feeling like they're killing me. Teehee.

Last Time I Went Out in the City

The last time I went out in the city was when I went to Halfmoon Asian Cafe for their Bibingcrepe launch. It was held on November 23, three days before I went on a 2-week vacation touring the islands of Negros Oriental and Cebu. I was feeling a bit Christmassy that night so I thought of wearing my beautiful red blouse with ruffles in front. It's one of those items in my Sexy Nomad Apparel Collection before and I really liked its style. Because the blouse was a bit huge for me, I figured, why not style it up with a vintage silver chunky belt, pair it up with my black and white psychedelic skirt and silver Janilyn pumps, wear my red beret and voila --- I think the whole getup looked chic and cute!

I was also happy to see my blogger friend, Jennie, wearing one of the Anne Curtis dresses she bought from me. And of course, how can I not include my blogger buddy Jeman? He was our stud that night. Teehee.

Peter Pan Attire?

I was laughing out loud when a high school classmate ofm ine commented on facebook that my getup resembles that of Peter Pan's. Hahahahahahaha!!! OMG! She's so right! The color of my blouse, my tights, even the shoes sans the pointy toes... they all look so elfy. LOL! All I need now is Tinkerbell nearby and a little pointy green hat and indeed, I'd be the female version of this mischievous Disney character. Hahahhahahahahaha!!!!

Sorry, can't help laughing there. It doesn't look so bad though. It was comfy and the fabric of my top felt nice. I actually love it. It's one of those blouses I have on my Sexy Nomad Apparel Favcebook Page. Thank God for this fabulous blouse, I was able to eat all the dishes served at Focaccia that evening without worrying about my figure, and that's all that mattered then, Peter Pan getup or not. ^_^

I Need Vita Plus if I Wanna Be Sexy

I know Vita Plus is all about health and has nothing to do with a fashion blog. But see, I've been out of stock for about a month now due to my very busy schedule, and look how fat I have gotten! I don't look good in my clothes anymore. Look at these photos taken during the Downy Scents to Remember gala launch yesterday. I'm such a fatty. I don't hate myself nor do I feel really bad. I accept that I am overweight right now (thanks to my constant cravings for Selecta's Coffee Crumble ice cream) and I want to do something about it without having to give up some of my favorite food.

Michael Jackson - Are You Really Dead?

This is a repost from The Sexy Nomad:

It's been a year since that fateful day when the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, was announced dead, and I still can't believe it. I rarely, if at all, feel this way about a performer. I'm not even a geek kind of MJ fan who knows all the little trivia about his life. I just love the man that he was and the legacy he left behind. It's just that simple. Yes, I love the Jonas brothers, Zac Efron, Charice Pempengco and I did use to idolize Britney Spears and The Hanson. But should any of them die right now, I won't be as terribly devastated (but please don't).

My heart is just filled with sadness as I write this... tears are now welling from my eyes and I can't see what I'm typing... *where's my tissue?*

Anyway, I'm probably being overly dramatic here. But I know I'm not alone in this feeling. I wish Michael Jackson's soul, his kids, his family and his fans all over the world, peace and happiness; because I know despite all the controversies that surrounded MJ's public life, he was still one of the best people to have lived on this planet.

Long live (in the afterlife) the King of Pop!

I love you, Michael.

Here's a video I taped of myself when Michael died a year ago. I know it's embarrassing but I'm just being true to my feelings.

Adidas Retrek Jogger

We passed by the Adidas factory outlet in Subic and in NLEX yesterday evening after our camping trip in Potipot Island until Peter and I found a nice pair of rubber shoes we like. The cross trainers I got from Ryka last time were superb for my workout but I needed something that's also good for just biking and jogging. So, I got myself a nice pair of Adidas RETREK JOGGER for women.

Beach Wear for Malapascua Island

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

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. :)

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 Getup

On weekends when my hubby and I were not out of town or beach bumming somewhere, I found myself going to the mall and shopping instead. I know, I know... I should really stop this habit soon. It's killing my finances. Teehee. But anyway, since it's already been done, I might as well enjoy the process, right? I usually wear flats these days, but since I bought those Janilyn shoes, I might as well use them. So for two consecutive Saturdays (March 13 and March 19), I wore my black and burgundy JUAN pairs by JANILYN. Here's the rest of my getup:

Haltered frilled top by Details Trading

Tan leggings from Kuala Lumpur

Coach sling bag

Guess watch

Accessories from Boracay and Cebu

~~~oOo~~~

Executive Optical Periwinkle Contact Lenses

For several years now (9 years to be exact), I've been getting my contact lenses from Executive Optical. I usually get the ones that are three-toned. This time around, I tried their two-toned lenses in Periwinkle. They made my iris look bigger, like that of an anime character. I like it!

Beach Wear for Dungaree Beach in Subic

Last March 6, we went to Subic and discovered this serene little beach in Subic... See my travel blog for details...

Since I am saving my new summer beach wear for our Caramoan and Butanding trip this coming April, I wore an old Bohemian type turquoise blouse, a white smock which I turned to skirt, and my white pair of Crocs footwear instead.

Speedo Snorkeling Gear

I miss seeing fishes and other underwater creatures while swimming. It's usually Peter who skin dive and go underwater while I either sunbathe or swim whenever we go to the beach.

I do bring my old snorkel and mask but I never really use them lately. Then one day, for some reason, I just suddenly have this huge inkling to go snorkeling! So out of the blue, we went shopping for some snorkeling gear and bought a SPEEDO set of blue life vest (my old one is already quite overused... been around since 2004), blue masks and snorkels for me and Peter, and black & orange FINIS fins.

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:

Footwear: Nike, Ryka, and Rider

I haven't had the time to have the soles of my Nike Shox rubber shoes (which was given to me in 2006 by Nike) repaired so since we were in Subic last Saturday, we went to Duty Free to look at shoes. Peter and I bought a few pairs we both liked. Who knew that come Sunday, I would again buy shoes from Janilyn? Teehee. ^_^

Peter's Nike shoes

Janilyn Footwear

I bought them last weekend and I can't wait to wear them some time soon! They're just so gorgeous! I can't choose which color to buy so as youcan see, for the two designs, I bought two each!

P.S. I just found out that Juan is a brand name taken after Janily's dad. Coolness! It's my last name too! Woot!

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!!!!!! ^_^
