Coco Made Me Do It!

Oh...Another shirt crush!!!  Isn't it cute?  You cannot go wrong with a black shirt: pair it with a pair of jeans; a skirt; jazz it up with a chunky necklace or with a neon bag!  Saw this from Romwe. They do have free international shipping.  Hurry up and check their Flash Sale here. 

Mango Loot

Hola!

What were you up to? 

Come to think of it, we are already halfway the month of February! Whoa!

It was Qatar National Sports Day last Tuesday and we did not even leave the house.

I've got some unfinished household chores so that was the only chance that I got to have them all done - so glad that I had them completed and got a little siesta time still :) 

Last week, I was able to visit Mango Shop at Villaggio to grab some office blouses and I got home with some fab items at very good prices! 

Their sale was still on. 

They had renovated their shop and now have a second level though I had a hard time finding something that would fit me. 

My size is S/XS that's why most of the time I order them online but this time Hubby had been so kind to go with me. 

Anyways, I've gone home with 2 tops. Zara's shop is just opposite Mango's and it's currently under renovation. 

I'll be back next month to grab some office trousers since we have the No Jeans Policy now. Awww. 

Lipstick from Dior, Got it for Qr 60 from the Qatar Airways Duty Free Staff Shop; Lipstick Wallet Mango, Qr 49; Nina Garcia's The One Hundred from Amazon 

Mango Shades, Qr 49

Outfit Inspiration: A Hat And Lace Up Flats

The weather is soaring so high nowadays.

A hat is a must! This hat is actually my Hubby's and I got it from Splash. 

I've always loved this lace up flats from Mango. 

Wear it with a pair of jeans or a Mini/Midi Skirt for a girly look. 

Outfit Inspiration: Burgundy Love

I've been loving this shade. 

It is a very flexible shade and one can easily mix and match these with other colors. 

I am still looking for a bag though :) 

Outfit Inspiration: Bright Flats!

Denim Shift from H&M; Necklace from Citylifestyle; Flats from SM Department Store

A denim shirt is a must in a girl's closet. 

Jazz it up with a statement necklace and a pair of bright flats. 

Make Up And Beauty Capsule

Maybe you have come across my post on Project 333 - a way on decluttering your closet and your life. 

While looking out for some cool new pins on Pinterest, I bumped into this pin on a Makeup Capsule. 

Yes, I am also guilty of having a lot of lipsticks, palettes, etc. - mostly drugstore make up though, but I have a lot. 

Sometimes, I have the urge to buy a lot of body butter, nail polish, a lot of lippies in different shades which had only expired and are barely used. 

Talk about a waste of money! 

A big sigh. 

Nonetheless, I am ready to move on. 

I had given away my barely used make up to my friends when I had gotten home a few months back; thrown all the expired ones and maintain only the basic ones that I think I really need. 

I have started off Project 333, mainly with my closet (I don't have a Carry Bradshaw closet or that of Rebecca Bloomwood, but mine is almost bursting), and will move to the other parts of the house and my life soon, little by little, so I don't get overwhelmed. 

Parting with stuffs that you got attached to is hard at first: tossing out your worn out jeans or the bag that you really liked before, or the make up that you got during the yearend sale, and the list goes on. 

But believe me, it's going to be worth it, I believe so. 

After a few hours of sorting everything out, these are the only ones I had kept: 

- Garnier Facial Scrub 

- Olay Moisturizer - I've been using it for years 

- Clinique Mask - I am using it at least once a week 

- Garnier Micellar Water - a cleanser and makeup remover in one 

- Facial Cleanser 

- The Balm Voyage Palette - I loooveeee this palette. You can rock different looks with only this palette. 

- 3 Lippies: Pink Dior Lipstick, Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me, Loreal Lipstick in Toasted Brown 

- The Body Shop Shea Butter Lipbalm 

- Loreal Eyeliner 

- Loreal Eyebrow Pencil 

- Loreal Powder Foundation 

- Loreal True Match Foundation 

- Maybelline BB Cream 

- Guerlain Blush On and Highlighter 

- Maybelline Mascara 

- a set of Royal Langnickel Make Up Brush 

- 2 Bottles of Lotion (I cannot live without this)

- a jar of Cocoa Vaseline Petroleum Jelly 

- Bench Body Spray and Colonges (am not really a big fan of perfumes)

That's basically it and am hoping that I can still reduce and not add more on this list. 

Am also thinking of using DIY products pretty soon. 

Wish me luck! 

Outfit Inspiration: Jeans! Jeans! Jeans!

Manjo Jeans is LOVE. 

A distressed pair of jeans is great with a simple tee or a girly top. 

Wear it with a pair of Chucks or Stan Smith for that relaxed feel or a nice heeled sandals for a more formal, classy look. 

Outfit Inspiration: Neutral Colors

White + Gray 

For a simple look this week, I had chosen a flowy white Mango Longsleeves and a pair of ankle length Grayish striped trousers from Uniqlo. 

I normally wear it with white flats. 

It may also go with white, gray or black pumps for added height. 

My Friday Shirt

As this shirt states, it's Friday! 

And it's the weekend!

Woke up extra early today and am sitting on the PC watching Phryne Fisher.

Will do the rest of the chores later on.

What are you up to today?

Whatever it is, enjoy!

Outfit Inspiration: Accessorizing Is The Key

Liven up your plain white, black or gray tee with accessories.

Shades are my Hubby's.

Scarf is a gift from Russia.

Bead Bracelet is a gift from Greece.

Smelling Good Eh?!

I have always been a big fan of Bench Colognes.

Naalala ko nung High School pa ko, pinag-iipunan ko pambili ng body spray nila. Asa Php 95 ata un that time. Haha.

Kada umuuwi ako ng Pinas ngayon, madami ako dala pabalik sa Qatar though meron na din Bench dito sa Hyatt Plaza kaya lang medyo matagal tagal na din ako di nagagawi dun.

Nung huli kong uwi nung May, I was surprised na super dami na nila scents!

Pero ung mga fave ko pa din binili ko: Atlantis, Bench 8 tsaka ung mga scents na Maine.

Ung iba pinampasalubong ko, ung iba stocks ko na.

Last time na nagawi ako sa Food Palace meron nitong mga colognes kaya nagstock na din ako.

Sa init ngayon dito eh di kami naglalabas anyways, trabaho bahay lang din naman kami mag-asawa.

Di nakakasawa ang amoy and laging feeling fresh lang ang peg.

Ika nga, Love Local.

Kaya ano fave nyo?

My Essentials In Black + White

Seeing things in Black and White recently...

Oh My! Addicted To Stripes!

It's summer and breathable fabrics are in. 

Last month, I have managed to drop by H&M and was so surprised to see a lot of great items! 

To be honest, I really don't shop much from there as I am always struggling with the size. 

I am a size XS or S and I find their clothes a little big but during my last visit, this has changed. 

They do have a lot of sizes and a lot of items are still on sale. 

I got the light blue and green striped ones for only QR 59 each!

The navy blue one is actually from Zara and is a bit pricey so I think I will be heading to H&M next time (if ever I am going to need something, I am still on a Shopping Ban). 

Do you have any summer finds?
