Black and White Tuesday

Today is another day at the office. My day was packed with the loads of things that I have to accomplish before the long holiday starts. My pending tasks have become a truckload, so basically, it was one hellish day again. The only thing that made me excited today was wearing this gorgeous corset that I just bought from  Glam Street , my new 'suki' online shop that's managed by its very accommodating owner. I paired it with this pencil skirt that I already forgot about until last night when I was thinking of what to pair this corset with. And because I can't go to school with this sexy combo, I finished the look with this lovely sheer cover up that I only was able to wear once.  So, here goes my Tuesday look:   Oh, hey! Look at what I found at the thrift shop today - a pair of pants in the most delicious shade of pink! Hurray!!!

Outdoors

Today is the third day of our shoot for the Mr. & Ms. NORSU pageant. We had it at Island Leisures Wellness Spa, a new boutique hotel in Dumaguete. I helped direct the video glamour shoot, and it sucked all the energy in me. Good thing I was wearing this comfortable outfit. That cute little thing that I'm wearing as a dress is actually a long racerback. So, when it got hot, I just took the blazer off. I was wearing a denim shorts underneath, by the way *Everything is thrifted. Those shoes are hand-painted by my dearest Argeylove. ♥

In-between

Today, we had a photo and video shoot for our university's annual pageant. The boyf is the photographer, which gives me the right to be the subject for the test shots in between the real takes. Ha-ha! I know I had to go around a lot since I was helping in the directing of the shoot, so I opted to wear this very comfortable top and pants. Top - local shop Pants - thrifted Belt - local shop

Ok, I get it...

If yesterday I was called and whistled at by some random student because of my 'sexy' outfit, today I was almost barred by this guard from entering the office, because, yes you guessed it right, students are not allowed inside. Arrgghhh!!! I then just gave him a cold, no, more like an I'm-so-tired-of-trying-to-explain-to-everybody-that-I'm-not-a-student stare and said, "I work here." He apologized and let me in that instant. Phew! The price I pay for being a young teacher in a university. Teehee! Black lace blouse - thrifted Necklace -  local shop Jeans - Lee Bag - thrifted

Black and Pink... and a Movie Date

It's been drizzling in Dumaguete, and the wind scares the 'hay' out of us at night. Last night, I tried on various outfits for today, to my mother's irritation and my boyf's amusement. Anyways, after much thinking, I settled for this black and pink combi, which, again, gained quite a handful of compliments and 'appreciative' stares. I even got a 'Hey, sexy! followed by a whistle' from a random student, who later on apologized after his friend nudged him and told him I'm a teacher. Well, I didn't mind really. It kind of felt good being appreciated by people way younger than I am. I had a movie date with the girls, minus Bea, after work today; and it's such a stress-reliever having some good laughs with these wonderful people and watching A Secret Affair. Oh, I so love Anne Curtis! She's soooo pretty all throughout the film even on scenes where she barely has make-up on, and her clothes!!! I wish I can have a...

Head-turners and 'complimenters' - Don't you love them?

This dress is love! When I entered the campus early in the morning yesterday, I was met by some scrutinous stares, but I took those stares as of appreciation and envy. Hah! Well, I got a lot of compliments yesterday, and the best part is that I got most of them from people whom I least expected them, which makes me think of wearing this dress again very soon. Dress - thrifted ♥ Belt - local shop Flats - Natasha Cute, sparkling ring on left hand - haha! THE engagement ring! ♥

Dressing up

and loving every bit of it... When my lazy self decides to hide from the world and give way to my other self, I get all giddy and excited to dress up and do a random stroll around the laid-back town of Dumaguete. Last Friday, I and some friends finally decided to participate in the hubbub that is the Buglasan Festival. I'd say the festival this year is not as festive as the previous years, but still the people were happy to see a variation from the day-to-day Dumaguete life. Dress - peddled in the office :) Blazer - thrifted Belt - local shop Shoes - thrifted

Casual Office Get-up

Being the only twenty something in the office, I am not only careful with my language, but with what I wear as well. We all know how some oldies do not understand how crazy, playful, and experimental the young ones are. This is the reason why I make sure to restrain myself from putting on an attention-grabbing combination that might shock and disgust them. So, with my everyday office look, I try to make it casual but still edgy, making sure that the accessories that I put on will not make noise or make things a bit difficult for me. Here is what I wore today: Top - thrifted Jeans - Levi's Flats - Natasha Bangle - Random shop nearby

A Step is All that it Needs

WARNING: THIS IS MY FIRST AMBISYOSA FASHION-RELATED BLOG POST. I have been a HUGE fan of some of the country’s top bloggers. Ever since I bumped into Laureen Uy ’s fashion blog, and got directed to some of her friend bloggers, Kryz Uy and Camille Co , I just could not stop looking at all their posts. They are all soooo pretty and their outfits are just soooo mouth-watering, I find myself drooling everytime I browse through their outfit pictures. I have kept this blog for almost 5 years now, and I admit, I only make a post whenever I get the chance to – and yep, that means just whenever I have so many things to rant about. Anyway, ever since I saw several of the country’s top fashion blogs, it has already become a crazy dream for me to own one. However, upon looking at my favorite fashion blogs, I just can’t help but get dismayed at how hard it would be for me to get those expensive pieces that they are wearing. And that is when the fashion blog of Bestie Konisis gets in...
