OOTD - Casual Friday, Feelin' Hippie

Finally, my midterm is done! I can finally blog :) Sorry again for the lack of post, I can't do anything when I am stress except for eating and shopping, they go hand in hand. Seriously, every time I am stress 3 things never fail to happen:

1. Break out like crazy - check
2. Eat like crazy. All of a sudden I eat everything, even if I am not hungry. My conclusion is that its a form of procrastination. 
3. Shop!Shop! Shop! Enough said. The shopping urges just come out of nowhere! 

I have been obsessed with the hippie look lately, and you will probably find me wearing this headband thing a lot. I just love it. It gives the perfect touch to an outfit, if you want to give your outfit a hippie touch that is.

Shirt: H&M, 

Shorts: Abercrombie

Bag: Classic Coach, vintage in hunter green

Wedges: Nine West

Shades: GAP

Accessories: Winners, H&M, Clare's for the headband.

Victoria Day Long Weekend + Casa Manila

It's a long weekend in Canada! Here are just some pictures over the weekend. I did nothing special. Fireworks were out of the question due to the weather.

I wore this out on Saturday since the weather was fabulous. Next 5 days includes rain in the forecast which is depressing me already.

Shirt: Zara

Skirt: Forever 21

White leather bag: thrifted

Sunnies: Winners

Anchor Necklace: Winners

Shoes: Unbranded

I bought this "walking shoes" at a really cheap price. It is quite comfy, and good for walking for a long time. I don't wear flats so the little bit of heel is good for me .

My niece who is more obsessed with Hello Kitty than I am. In fact, I think she re-started my HK obsession. 

Sunglasses from GAP. Forever 21 Shirt. 

BF and I decided to check out a new restaurant. Casa Manila We went on a whim so I only brought my iPhone with me. I will definitely be back. though. Amazing authentic Filipino cuisine. Mila, the owner personally asked how the food was, which I believe is a nice touch. Also, I always measure how good a restaurant is by the cleanliness of their washroom, but not the only measure of course. This was one of the cleanest washroom I have ever been, not to mention very nice decor (for those people who likes taking pics in the washroom ;) 

Pancit Canton. Generous portion. We didn't finish it, but happily took the leftover to go.

Really crispy calamari. 

Their spring rolls is a must!

And of course, you can't visit a Filipino restaurant without having halo-halo. My bf is obsess with this. Can't you tell?

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Casual Friday - Mission for Halo Halo

The sun finally decided to grace us with its presence yesterday after a very wet month and apparently more coming. My boyfriend was craving some halo- halo at the newly opened Max's of Manila. Halo-halo is an amazing Filipino dessert compose of shaved ice and evaporated milk in which various ingredients are added (so according to Wiki :D) Halo halo literally means mix mix in English. After driving to the restaurant, it was jammed pack with a long waiting time. We decided to take the halo halo to go and enjoy it in the car. LOL. It was amazing.

Tank top: Old Navy

Sweater-ish: Winners

Jeggings: Winners

Shoes from Nine West, which I absolutely love. Unfortunately, it is not the most comfortable of my sandals.

Wearing the purplish-bluish nailpolish from California Colors. I love it!

Left: Silver bracelet from H&M. Right silver bracelet given by my cousin from the Philippines.

The wooded bangle is my go to summer bracelet. I purchased this at a Philippine stand at the CNE. I either wear it with this silver combo or some gold ones. 

Halo halo with various toppings topped with ice cream. Delicious.

Fabulous Find - California Colors

Even though I promise myself not to buy anymore nail polish for awhile, the pastel shades just screamed summer to me! Summer is what I am longing for right now given the awful Toronto weather we have been experiencing lately (with the exception of today) I walked away only to walk back for a closer inspection. It was only $6.99! For five great polishes it was a steal! Of course I had to have it. I have never heard of California Colors before and given the price I was not expecting much out of it. I was pleasantly surprise when I tried them and they go on fabulously. Minimal streaking, a bit liquid-y but after about 2-3 coats it looks fab. I love all of the shades with the exception of the glitter since I am not a glitter gal. You can find this great find at Winners of course :) Pictures of my nails to follow.

Have a great weekend!

Fabulous Find - Coach Wedge Sandal

                                                         

Shopping at Winners (similar to TJ Maxx/Marshalls) can be overwhelming for some people. Some people doesn't include me :) I absolutely love the thrill of the find. I love sorting through the racks of garments in the hopes of finding a treasure. One Monday afternoon, I found this fabulous wooden, T-strap sandal from Coach. There was no hesitation, I had to buy it. My shoe size (sz 5) is very hard to shop for. Often times, shoes that I love simply don't come in my size, and sometimes when they do the size is still a bit too big and not a perfect fit. It's frustrating to say the least. This one however, was made for me! It was absolute perfection, my feet were in shoe heaven. They are very comfortable and light. I cannot wait to wear these in the summer time. Please come soon. 

Also pictured is an orange statement piece necklace I found at a flea market. 

What are your fabulous finds?
