/Currently/

Currently I'm in Cebu - been here for about 3 weeks now. There's not really much to do around here, but these are some of the things keeping me preoccupied:

Listening to...

Just finished reading...

50 Shades of Grey
This isn't something I normally read, but I gave it a go and decided to stop at the second book. I didn't feel the story intrigued me long enough to buy the third.

Now reading...

Persuasion

Went to the movies to watch...

Old movies I revisited...

Clueless - "Says who?! Calvin Klein. Looks like underwear!"
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - Cuz who doesn't like watching Christmas movies in the middle of July?!

Tv shows I'm watching...

Breaking bad
Breaking Bad is just insanely good. I've been watching it for the past 5 seasons and find it incredibly mind blowing how Walt's character has done a complete 180 in comparison to season 1. THE BEST... Sad it's the final season.
Suits
The Newsroom

Lusting over...

shoes collage
Anything Alexander Wang (most especially his bags and shoes) almost always creeps into my daily online-shopping-obsession routine... and in my dreams. His whole Spring and Fall 2012 collection is the epitome of androgynous perfection.

Girl crushing on...

I've also been stumbling upon a bunch of terrific fashion, food, and DIY blogs. Ahh, the wide array of blog choices the internet brings us never fails to excite me.

These photos by Matthew Priestley are nothing short of incredible. The vintage pieces used (Akris, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel) exude class and regality while the shadows on Paige Honeycutt's face portray a bit of darkness and mystery. This, to me, makes for the perfect blend of art in fashion.

The ethereal theme for Christian Dior's fall couture show looks like a scene straight out of a fairy tale. With the wide range of colors to the beautifully color-coordinated flower arrangements, it's hard not to imagine every single person in the audience with sparkly eyes and wide, giddy smiles plastered on their faces the entire time. Imagine being in that room and just being plain intoxicated by the wonderful floral aroma. Note to self: keep pictures for future wedding ideas.

/Baguio Instagrams/

Though the trip was almost 2 weeks ago, I still can't seem to get over how much I truly enjoyed visiting Baguio. The same ecstatic feeling still comes around when I look at pictures from the trip, which just confirms how Baguio and I still have some unfinished business that needs to be taken care of this year.

Wearing a Ralph Lauren top, H&M shorts, Michael Kors bag, Ralph Lauren and H&M bracelets.

Delicious french onion soup + a center piece of oozing Gruyere cheese with a side of extra-sparkling white wine to warm me up.

Wearing an H&M dress and necklace, Zara belt and shoes, and a clutch I got from a boutique in Hong Kong.

The pathway to one of the most relaxing scrubs + massages I've ever had in my entire life... despite the lingering cold in the spa, which was easily soothed by a hand rubbing technique the masseuse fully utilized to create heat.

An intimate moment between the dashing groom and beautiful bride.

Mr. Boyfriend and I decided to take up a little adventure and feel the fog for ourselves. The eerie feeling was well diminished by each other's company, and this walk easily became one that will never be forgotten.
