ON THE ROAD

 Nice weather, breath taking views and an empty road!  What else can I ask for?  surely you will be tempted to have your shot taken too.  These pics were taken at La Cresta community at Murrieta vicinity during my little photowalk session.  Usually, I try to wear flats for photowalk sessions especially when I know it involves a lot of walking.  However, this was an exemption because I was mostly in a car and I just got off it whenever I needed to take a pic.

WHAT I WORE:

cold shoulder from ZARA

black vest from WALMART (I got it for 5 dollars.  It was on clearance sale.)

culottes pants from H&M

black buckled boots from H&M

eyewear from MIUMIU

OCEAN PARK FRILLS

amazed by the roller coaster

I visited Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai (almost Coloane, Macau) which is said to be  the biggest ocean park in the whole world yesterday. It was indeed an interesting trip that I will probably blog about one of these days.  However, it was also a very tiring one-thanks to the sweltering heat and then the sudden thunderstorm in the afternoon.  I knew beforehand that it might be a gruelling hot day because summer is just around the corner here in China.  In times like this, I make sure that what I wear won't get in the way of comfort or else I will end up feeling grumpy the whole day.  My mood changes if I end up sweating a lot under the sun or if I get tired from so much walking; no matter how interesting the place is.

So for this trip, I made sure to wear some cotton top and bottom.  I didn't want to wear a skirt because I want to be able to move around with ease so I chose a pair of culottes.  This bottom is actually a vintage one; a hand me down from my grams a few years before she passed away.  I did not want to wear a tank top primarily because this trip is a part of a company related trip so I still wanted to look quite presentable at some point.  Thus, I chose this cold shoulder top.

WHAT I WORE:

COLD SHOULDER CLASSIC

I love cold shoulder tops because it gives a hint of your shoulders without the commitment of going out without sleeves.  It exudes sexiness without showing too much skin.  Though it has the tendency to be quite a weekend wardrobe rather than an office attire, it can still be a "work appropriate" ensemble if matched with the right stuffs.  Here, I paired the colourful cold shoulder top with a basic black skirt and a pair of tie wrap heels.  My style strategy whenever I wear a trendy piece is to mute down the other parts of my outfit so as to highlight the trend and keep everything else  a tad more classic.  In this way, I am able to wear it to work.

WHAT I WORE:

blue cold shoulder top from FOREVER 21

black skirt from MANGO

medium flap bag from CHANEL

tie wrap heels from JING MEI (And I got this pair for about 200php or 5USD only!)

eyewear from MIU MIU
