My Pinterest Pins

It was last year when Pinterest started , I think, here in the Philippines. Creating an account is so easy, as well as sharing photos too!  The photos I adore most are all about fashion.  I get combination and trend tips from this site and I pin my office day look here too. I also get inspiration from this site on what to wear, etc.

Sharing with you some of my favorite PINS recently.

Enjoy!

Classy, boots, shades

#ALMbisyosa Series: The #ALMbisyosa daughter

“The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.” 

― Elliott Erwitt

My mom loves taking pictures, she wants to capture every moment especially during occasions.  I remember when I was a kid, she would let me change outfits, do some make up, hold the telephone and pretend that I am talking to someone and she will take pictures of me.  So don't wonder why I love posting pictures, with or without occasion, because mana ako sa nanay ko.   But of course, the "heritage" of taking photos will also be passed on...to my lovely daughter..I 'm posting some of her "ARTE photos" here so you will see and just make the judgment!

#ALMbisyosa Series: Gray and Gray

I love that I bought a lot of wardrobe last year that I can still use now.  I stick to have almost 50% classics in my closet, 30% prints and 20% trendy.  For shoes - I always have the basics but I have plenty - as in more than 20 pairs!

This is the season of attending Christmas parties and staying late night.  The agony of waking up early in the morning to report for work is a pain in the ________, don't you agree.  if I could just sleep all day and party at night - that would be awesome . 

Today, we'll have another Christmas party with the Sales Team and for sure, it's gonna be so fun and we will all get boozed!  Since I need to recharge , I decided not to wear heels and skirt - and dress comfortably and wear safe colors. Here you go!

and the #ALMbisyosa is back!

Almost two months had passed.  I left the job I enjoyed for 9 1/2 years, and I pushed myself to move on to take a new leap.  The leap was more than I expected, a lot of great opportunities came:) a lot of people were surprised and happy.

I stopped posting for awhile because of Instagram and also, I focused on doing other things.

Since it's been awhile that I haven't posted here, I am sharing some of what I 've been doing for the past few weeks.. Ciao!

 Weekend attire

#ALMbisyosa Series: Hip Friday

It's been stormy-windy-rainy this week.  Time to show off your boots and pair it with your favorite jacket or top.

Here's what we wear today, boots, boots, boots!

#ALMbisyosa Series: Rainy Boots Monday

It's been raining since Saturday, classes were suspended this morning but private companies have work today.

This is the best time to have DVD marathon at home while eating your favorite Cheetos with Coke Zero.

And since we are obliged to go to work, besides it's payday, we have the reason to wear our boots today!!

Who says you cant be fashionable on a stormy day?
