Riding in cars with boys, kegger-infused relationships or ( in my case ) just plain dancing in your pajamas in your room. Your childhood music stays with you for better or worse. It may evoke certain kinds of pleasant as well as unpleasant memories in you but no matter how unpleasant, it made you who you are today and you're not as screwed-up as you thought you were gonna be. Which is just the way you like it. Not what you had exactly in mind when you were dreaming of a richer more successful you, but those are really subjective terms, and you're still alive, that's always a plus right? All my blabbering aside, this is a great mixtape.
Pining for someone? Here's a pop-rock song for your love life.
Enjoy.
With pieces this easy to put on, you'll look effortless yet put together.Although I do admit having a CK watch and that clutch helps with the "expensive" aura. And less is definitely more with just a cocktail ring and pendant necklace.
As for the shoes, they are classic in shape and color but the thing that stands out for sure is the heel part itself. Hmmm gold.
Now, how to make this work for work? Just add a simple blazer. See my two basic black blazers that I am particularly fond of.
Pick something that adds sleekness to the look and doesn't compete with all the other elements. This is not the focal point of the outfit. You are. When everything works well together, one element just adds to the other and makes the look more complete.
Hope you had fun reading my thoughts.

This post was actually inspired by a friend :) who's going out on a date today, and it got me thinking what usually happens so you don't end up wanting to split the bill and run the f*** home?
Hey Hey Hey! Unsure of how to pull-off a sheer blouse at work? If you're at a conservative office environment, certain clothes are a no-no ( Flip-Flops, Sandals, Slingbacks, Clear shoes, Expadrilles ) and it can be a bit constricting with certain trends that you're only allowed to try at weekends/nightouts/dinners. So here I am with a look that is work appropriate and safe. Read the post after the jump!
There's no amount to how much I love this! Pixie Lott and Korean singers GD & TOP of BIGBANG.
Note: Trust me, this is from experience.
Now as some of you know, usually mascara can only be used for 4-6 months as it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Since mascaras have a liquid consistency and you use it on your eyes then put it back in the tube, certain kinds of bacteria may be thriving in there. And if you find it's kinda smelling a little funky, you better toss it. It's not worth the risk.
But if you find that you still have plenty of mascara , hasn't hit the mark of 6 months and isn't smelling like feet but is getting a little clumpy here's what to do to extend it for a few more uses before you buy a new tube.
What the heck should I wear?! You've heard it and you've said it a lot and I mean a LOT of times in your life. Now these words are usually uttered or on occasion screamed, whenever we're going to an event wherein we want to look nice and still stand out from the throng of body-con/bandage dresses and strapless numbers.
My College graduation is in a weeks time, this coming Friday actually, and I admit I already have a dress. It's nice, flowy and floral. It Offers a little cleavage and leg action without the word "slutty" clinging to the air when you wear it. But seeing as it's an extra-hot summer, and with the slew of whites, off-whites and florals, my dress doesn't exactly stand-out from the crowd not to mention the fabric of my dress is itchy and hot, given this unforgiving hot sun and extra-hot air is probably not the smartest choice to wear.
Good thing I chanced upon the Nuffnang X ZALORA contest, because I can have a chance to make my desires a reality. Here are my choices.
Other than the fact that the material is light and breezy, the cut is demure.
The perfect silhouette for a school function.
I've always wanted to try the hi-low/mullet hem.
I'm in love with the heel detail.
And wedges are comfy, especially since I'll be doing the mandatory
jump-in-the-air-while-throwing-your-toga-hat-to-the-sky.
The hint of color on the side gives it
a young vibe.
Nothing makes entering the "real world" more official
than an elegant, simple and very cool time piece.
The perfect blue for the perfect day.
Even if the pieces I chose, in itself are very simple, together I think these would really make an impact marking my graduation a most memorable one. I mean, c'mon how often do you get to say to people that you won your whole outfit?
Oh that smoldering stare. Please have my babies. |
Ethan Peck . I'm guessing you don't know him by name, nor by face. But dear GOD you should. Let me just refresh your memory a bit as to where you might have seen him.
Summer's Here by csurita featuring vintage handbags
I love anything vintage, especially bags, clothes and sunglasses. And that BAG is soo adorable I can just put ice cream on top of it and eat it. So I figured most people would probably put something floral or anything and everything floral on their summer dress list; I decided to opt for color blocking-mod-havana-circa 1950. I hope I got that right, because I'm just making the words up as I go along.
A little birdy also told me that dainty rings are all the rage and they are right because they are so cute. Small and understated but can still make an outfit complete yaknowhatimean? How about you? What's your summer dress list?

As you can see, I changed the title because a friend of mine told me I should really change it because it might make the readers "think" about something else. {it was originally Big Bad Banana} And I admit, if I ever want to be taken semi-seriously, I shouldn't entitle my site with a very misleading name...even if does roll off the tongue. *cough*
FROM MANILA WITH LOVE
Why this title?
- I thought about the James Bond movie; From Russia with love.
- I am from Manila, that's in the Philippines.
- I give lots of love and care.
So my posts would be about news, tidbits and fashion/style tips all over the world, by a girl (that's me) in Manila. I'll also be writing about movies/tv shows, music, food and my personal thoughts about certain topics Let me know what you think of the name, site and what other stuff you think I can write about?
