D's 24th

D: We can't seem to keep up with our blog updates as of late and since our last one, a lot has gone down. First up is my quiet little 24th birthday celebration.

Wore this out to a dinner with high school friends in Mad Mark's, a sandwich joint in Kapitolyo, where we chatted over Half-Baked Cookie Dough in Madagascar Vanilla ice cream (a must try)!

 CDG chambray button down, Zara corduroy trousers, Vince Camuto heels

 I've had these pants for the longest time but I haven't gotten around to wearing them. I know they've made all the rounds on fashion blogs everywhere but I still love them. The pattern is so fun to look at and the corduroy material isn't too thin for the Manila weather.

 Been obsessed with these hand-crafted copper wire and coral/turquoise necklaces lately! I love how vibrant the colors are and how they dress up even the plainest of tops. I ended up hoarding a few designs of rings and necklaces.

 Continuing to veer towards more understated shoe choices as evidenced by these taupe and black Vince Camuto heels, a gift from P for my birthday! They're pretty nondescript with just a hint of edge hidden in the heel. Thank you, Pao!

P: This was one of the thrifted shirts D found for me during one of our shopping trips. This was a lucky find because I don't usually get good-fitting clothes from thrift stores. Plus the pattern was really too cool to pass up.

 thrifted top, Topman pants, Primark belt, Office shoes, H&M sunglasses

 Spiffy sail boats + topsider belt details

 Love how the orange buttons pop against the crisp white and navy!

Been friends with these girls for more than a decade and I'm glad to mark so many milestones with them. A special shout-out to Rosanna and Monique in London, and Tala in the States!
