Monochromatic

Just found it interesting that everything in this photo is in cream, black or grey.

Incidentally, here's a closer look at my bag, a photo I took from last summer when Xavi was still in my tummy. Has it been a year? Time flies. Was just talking to friends and we can't believe May is here. That's like almost half way through the year!

This bag is older than Berry, and it still looks great. I remember to use it whenever summer rolls around because it just feels like the perfect hot, sunny day bag. So fresh and vibrant.

How about you? What's your favorite summer bag? Chika tayo!

Sneak Attack

 

So I've been seeing photos of these camo Valentino sneakers here and there on Instagram and I have to admit I was jealous of the fact that it seemed they were only made for guys. So you can just imagine my surprise when I realized there's a version for girls too! Eeeep!

Valentino camouflage sneakers, $795

I first learned about the camouflage collection a month ago, when my friend Naomi bought this shoulder bag in Hong Kong...

It is love. I thought they only made camo bags for us girls, no sneakers. But anyhoo at this time, I can live without a new bag. I really don't see myself buying a new bag this year or any time soon. Although this tote admittedly, is quite a charmer.

But the camo sneakers? O.M.G.

Ano camo? Shopping ban? Did I ever say such a thing?
