Palm Beach

With P still MIA, last weekend was quite different than my usual. My family and I took a trip to Palm Beach in Laiya, Batangas for the wedding of my cousin. I've never been to a beach wedding before and can I just say, it's one of the loveliest things to witness. The grit of the sand and shore was a beautiful backdrop to all the prettiness happening in the forefront. Also, how cute was it that their wedding march was Amber? Congratulations, Ate Kai and Art!

Check out my little friend for the day!

Lighting of the lanterns

It follows the concept of a hot air balloon. You burn the wax in the center til it fills the lantern up with hot air.

One by one they started rising

What a breathtaking sight!

Summer Swag

We thought we'd do a very self-indulgent post on the clothes and accessories we used in Boracay. Both P and I went for light and breezy pieces to beat the oppressive heat.

D: The outfit toppers were just a hodgepodge of old accessories I had lying around the house. I also nicked this tan leather bracelet P left at my place. Finders keepers! I'm extremely prone to losing things so I had to limit my ring stash to 4 which is usually how many I have on at any given time.

P: My quest for the pefect short-brimmed hat ended at Celio Rockwell with a chambray number. I was debating between this and a straw hat from Rustans but I figured this would be more versatile.
D: Mine was an easy score from trusty old SM. I love the nautical stripes and giant bow!

D: All eyewear is vintage from my grandma, except for the pair in the foreground on the left and on P. Those tortoise shell, cat-eye Ray bans are the love of my life. For this summer, at least. I still want the Alex Wang x Linda Farrows though!
Summer reading was from the P100 bin at Natio. I'm a little bit embarrassed by my selection (Au Pairs: Sun-Kissed) but I was going for an easy read anyway.


P: H&M blue button down, reworked thrifted shorts, Suenos espadrilles
D: acid splattered pocket dress, Suenos espadrilles


P: madras Dean and Trent shirt, Landmark GRAY shorts
D: asymmetrical ruffle top, Old Navy polka dots shorts


P: re-cut swim shorts and chambray hat
D: ruffled monokini from Nothing but Water, denim shorts, amber sunglasses from grandma



P: sky blue Topman shirt, Landmark GRAY shorts, Suenos espadrilles
D: garterized floral dress, rubber slippers with floral detail

Sorry for the barrage of posts! I'm a little gung-ho since I'm a bum for the month of April while P is slaving away in the corporate world.
