25 Weeks

With the weather getting so much warmer, it makes sense to wear dresses instead.

This is what I wore to my mom's birthday dinner:

silk printed dress from The Addison Story at SM Fashion Forum, Repetto BB flats, accessories from J.Crew, Kenneth Jay Lane and Fenton/Fallon

This is what I wore to brunch with friends:

Silk dress from See by Chloe, gold sandals from Pour la Victoire, accessories from J.Crew and Fenton/Fallon

Yes silk dresses during the summer. Not as high maintenance as I thought. And they feel so cool and soft against the skin. Then again, silk is a 100% natural fabric that breathes, and feels really fresh during hot summer days.

19 Weeks: Play Date then Day to Night

Christopher Kane x Topshop dress, Birkenstocks

Audrey & I organized a play date for Berry, Gia & Georgia last week at their home - they had a "nail polish play date" and had a manicure/pedicure session with Hopscotch Kids, heehee. Even 6 month old Georgia put polish on her toes - it's water based naman! Adorbs! I wore this Christopher Kane x Topshop dress - it's comfy with a pambahay feel, but still cool enough to be worn out. AJ, their daddy aka The Graphic Designer, automatically recognized Christopher Kane's work! Galing! Had to clarify though, "Topshop lang ito!" Hahaha!

That same week, I hied off to Anthem in Rockwell to check out Anthology's new Hudson wedges. Angganda! Pregnancy friendly too ha! It's so light and so comfy! I like the grey ones the best, because it has that  nude effect, doesn't look chunky at all and just blends with the skin.

It comes in these 3 colors, and I would so get this in black too when they have it out. Soon please!

I was actually in Rockwell for a lunch meeting with Oliver of AVA (btw, thanks to everyone who supported the FEED sale on AVA! Almost sold out again as of week 1!) but I also had dinner that same evening with Dada and friends - Karrots, Chico, Jacob and Kaye, so this was my attempt at day to night dressing:

jeweled flats from Miu Miu, a dress from Hong Kong, Kenneth Jay Lane necklace, Fenton/Fallon cuff

day to night flats diba?

1 Top = 3 Ways at Theodore's

1 Miss Sixty Singlet = Triple Looks, from Theodore's!

Look 1 - Casual and comfortable paired with paperbag trousers and flats. An anorak from Opening Ceremony completes the look, and wards off chilly drafts.  

Look 2 - Dress it up for date night. Or just because. Girls shouldn't have to find an occasion to look all nice and pretty right? 

Look 3 - Sporty with shorts and Supergas. Add just the right amount of polish with accessories from Kenneth Jay Lane and Vita.

38 Weeks & Counting The Days...

I've avoided driving in Manhattan for the longest time. Ok, more of since we moved here to the US. I can drive side by side Manila's jeepney and bus drivers and I even give them the bad finger when they really drive me crazy. Yeah, I can be a hustler behind the wheel. But man, driving in Manhattan really intimidates me. So let me come clean, I've never driven in NYC, until last Friday! On my 38th week at that! Talk about Murphy's Law! Hahaha! See, I had to pick up Dear Hubby at work because we had a dinner date with guests (our wedding photographer Nelwin Uy and wife They) from back home. And these days, Dear Hubby insists that we drive around whenever we go out because Berry might come out any day now and he doesn't want to be caught in a situation where we have to take public transportation, hahaha!

So there, here I am in our garage, at 38 weeks. And I can say I survived driving in NYC! Woohoo!



Tuxedo blazer: H&M
Dress: A.P.C.

Tights: Topshop Maternity

Had a pretty exciting/nerve-wracking evening actually. Dear Hubby was so worried, he kept on calling me every five minutes to check on me. But nothing excites us more than meeting Berry soon!!! Double, no, Triple Woohoo!!!
