Wanderlust

Desire? Drown me in it anytime.

After all the hell weeks, the sleepless nights devoted to schoolwork, I went shopping and it was fantastic. It feels pretty awesome to know that final exams are cancelled and that schoolwork will be optional. It's my idea of school: all the people sans the tests.

I'm feeling like I'm going through a transition with my style recently. College is making it difficult to care about Fashion Weeks across the globe, and so I'm leaning towards the laid-back, grunge feel. I'm loving crop tops from Topshop and studded vests and blazers. I'm stocking up on statement rings, as I love it in Ateneo when my teachers notice me for them. What can I say? Great conversation starters--plus, you find out which of your professors are gay.

Sembreak is officially in 20 days. Which means, 20 days left to save money and diet. I'm excited to shop 'til I drop and wear all my new purchases but I'm not looking forward to idle time. Someone give me something to do!

ILY, Mommy

Sales are always so frantic and exciting here, but I'm a starving student so I love the long lines, love the frenzy, love the familiar faces, love the mad rush, love the cheap clothes.

So what did you buy today?

The skirt won me over

Eco-friendly

The start of the new schoolyear just calls for fresh, new things: notebooks and pens, for one thing, and for another, clothes and shoes and bags. I like buying new things for the new year--having something new to wear or use is just a good reason to get out of bed for an early class.

And since I want to be of help to the environment, I'm lusting for:

Even Karl Lagerfeld has gotten his hands on a canvas tote.

I want one. Actually, I want a lot. I'd love to have my own words on it, but until I come up with clever one-liners, I'll begin with "Save Whatever" from Plum Sykes' Bergdorf Blondes.

School in two weeks!

It's planner time

The Starbucks planner

I opted for the red one (instead of black/blue)

Toffee Nut frappuccino+shiny, new planner= :)

After two weeks, with the help of Jill and Monique, I finally got enough stickers for a Starbucks planner! And, now that I have one, I think it's time for me to stop buying so much Starbucks coffee and spend my money on this kooky pair of frames instead:

Bowling fan sunglasses, around $4

Ok then, time for school!

/edit: Four hours later, I gave in and bought the shades. Haha!

Shopping List

Back to school technically means back to living with pocket money at last, and money means shopping. Saturday night, I bought a pair of black boots and found myself in the beginning of a Shoe Craze. Sunday afternoon at Duty Free I saw a pair of purple-and-black BCBG heels, brown knee-high Segue boots and black suede Michael Kors heels. I'm going mad, screw comfort, I want them all.

Gotta be practical, though. I'm adding to my shopping list a short dress like Mary-Kate Olsen's, a long cardigan like Rachel Bilson's, denim shorts (when will I ever find the right one? This has been on my list for months already) and a high-waisted skirt like Alexa Chung's. Chop chop shop!
