BASIC GRAFFITI

I consider SHOES as men's basic need. You know, like food, water, love (cheesy!). ahaha. With that being said, when a friend invited to a place where they make shoes, I immediately said YES!

Marikina City is known as the SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines since 1956. Since then, the shoe making industry in the city have grown tremendously. Soon enough, the place was known, not just in the Philippines, but around the world, producing high quality shoes. To know more about the place, we decided to go to their cute museum. According to my friend, who LOVES shoesssss (for emphasis), this cute museum houses former First lady Imelda Marcos's shoesssss (oh yeah!)

Enough of me blabbing about the place, let's talk about that I wore. 

Since it was a day trip, middle of summer, I went for a clean, breathable and basic clothes.

Basics are a very safe option when going out in an unfamiliar territory. Its the simplest way of looking put together. Add some blings and some comfy shoes... and you're good to go!

In taking outfit shots, since you're wearing basics, you might wanna find a colorful spot to strike a pose, like this graffiti wall i found. If you can't find anything like this, opt to take a garden shot or anywhere where there is color!

DOTS and a BIRD

(Eyewear: RayBan, Navy Polka dotted button down: Rageblue, Jeans: F&H, Blings: Li's Closet)

I know i've promised a lot of times that i shall blog as often as possible...and i know that i've been failing to do that. This may sound too familiar but i've been very busy with school plus the fact that i'll be moving to a new work place (oh diba valid naman?!). Promise talaga... i will keep you guys posted! totoo na to! :)

Anyhow, instead of whining, here's a simple look i made for a busy day. NAVY is one of my favorite colors. Like black, it brings out that sophisticated classy look to a person without the "init" factor. The white polka dots on this button down made this look playful. To match the dots on my shirt, i wore Li's Closet' s latest bling collection. They even made my shot one of their ads! here:

My very own BUSOG smile!

Yummy Macarons!

Creamy Caramel Macchiato!

Shots were taken last November 3, also known as the MOST IMPORTANT DAY of the year for US! It is our anniversary! We decided to not over celebrate it. Seriously. Because we're too busy we decided to have lunch and have a quick HAPPY MOMENT at Chez Karine.

And because we do not want to over celebrate it, I decided not to over-dress for it. I pulled together the simplest pieces i could get from my trunk. However, going simple can be boring too, so I decided to put on my ever dependent Camo Boots and some BLINGS from Li's Closet.

See you guys soon! :)
