OotD: 1 Bag, 2 Outfits

After blogging about the bag I got from schu months ago (click here) and putting up my comments regarding its peeling-off skin, schu contacted me right away, saying that they'd be glad to replace the defective bag. HOW KIND AND PROFESSIONAL! One of the many reasons why I love schu bar. :)

 

Left: Camel chiffon polo from Dorothy Perkins; random denim jeans; wedges from Forever21

Right: HnM floral top, nude recycled jelly belt from U Rustan's, bondage skirt (online shop),  
clogs from Forever 21, lavender watch from Swatch

I love this bag! It has a long strap you can attach when you wanna go for a casual look, and detach anytime for a more formal, dressier style. It has a zipper pouch sewn inside it that acts as a divider and two small pockets (for cellphones and keys, or whatever!). I LOVE IT!!! :) I added my mom's LV bag charm to accent its very neutral tone. :)

OotD + Live Interview with DJ Suzy! :)

Mabuhay Plumpies! ;)

The past Monday, we did a live (and random, and fun, and a bit raucous) interview via Ustream with DJ Suzy, one of the hot and awesome radio jocks of the station that offers today's best music--Magic 89.9!

If you missed it, watch below! Although Danah wasn't able to click on the record button right from the beginning (grrrrr), so this video is missing the first ten minutes of the interview. :( Not to worry though, we'll definitely be doing more live interviews/shows so just keep checking out the blog and our Facebook page for future updates on live streams!

This is the first ever live interview we did and we prefer to keep it as real and casual as we could, so it's very informal, and the topics we discussed were all spontaneous and random--which always spells FUN if you ask me! ;)

Most of our readers can't believe that we only met DJ Suzy on the night of the interview, but it's true. She's just extremely friendly and bubbly, it's so hard not to be really comfortable around her instantly! ;)

Outfit of the Day: I'm bringing ponchos back, yeah!

White tank top Esprit Knitted poncho Forever 21 Striped body con skirt Forever 21 Wedges Chocolate Schu Bar Purselet Coach Shades Mango Earrings Greenhills Belt bracelet Hong Kong


Never thought I could pull off ponchos! :D I saw this knitted thing on Forever 21 last weekend, and I wasn't too sure if I liked it or not--until I tried it on. :) I can't wait to mix and match it with all of my other clothes, specifically dresses!

I am also diggin' Esprit tank tops because they're all padded, so I was able to actually chuck my bra back to my drawer and go out of the house braless, with the security that what doesn't need to be seen by the public will remain unseen!!! WHOOHOOOHAPPINESSANDFREEDOM!




My very first Coach from my mom! :) Thank you! :*


Ya'll know this is my current favorite accessory!


I love these wedges! They're so comfy to walk around in, and the style is so chic and classy. If you still don't know by now, Chocolate Schu Bar offers a variety of beautifully designed shoes up to size 10/11! :D (Yep, my feet are plus sized too!) The shoes are Danah's by the way. One of the many things I love about having a twin--my clothes and shoes automatically double in quantity! :D

More outfit posts to come this weekend! ;)

Keep loving your beautiful self,
Stacy

OoTD: Working Girl

It's been too long!!! I missed blogging! And of course I missed sharing my outfits with all of you, plumpies! :)

Forgive the long absence, I've just got a new job and I'm still learning how the system works and how to do what they hired me for! :D

Anyway, here's my working girl outfit, though it's not really mandatory that we always be in a corporate attire in the office. And it's one of the many (many, many many) things I really like about the culture of the company that I work for--we can be smart casual, or just plain casual when it comes to what we wear. In short, we're free to dress up however we want for work--but still maintaining a certain level appropriateness, of course. ;)

Red head, red bag




Current favorite accessory: The Wrist Belt! Edgy AND classy!


Comfy heels are the best, but really hard to find (in my case, that is)!!!


Seams and creases: I love the detail of this trousers and the skinny belt that goes with it!


Jealous? Don't be! :) You can get your very own Cambridge Satchel bag at Chocolate Schu Bar stores!

I love my red Cambridge Satchel! (I had it when I was still a brunette, by the way. I don't know why all of a sudden I'm into the color red. I guess I just really like how it brings spice to any outfit--and look as for my hair!) I got a 15-inch so it can fit all my necessities that I bring to work everyday-- from my laptop, notebook, connector cords and documents to personal essentials like my make up, wipes, and wallet. The leather messenger bag has an adjustable shoulder strap designed like a belt (just like the opening straps), so you can set it to the length of your own choice.

Honestly, I've been using this bag since the very first day of work, and everywhere I go people notice and compliment me on it! :) It's really a great bag that comes in different bright and popping colors that makes it so eye-catching! There are multiple of sizes to choose from too, which means there's a satchel perfect for everyone! And yes, that includes guys too. ;)

Interested in getting your own satchel? Visit Chocolate Schu Bar's Facebook page or read their blog to know the different sizes and colors available! ;)

Oh and before I go, I just wanna show you my new (and ONLY) raincoat! My mom bought it for me during her recent trip to Hong Kong, and when I first saw it, I just chucked it in my drawer in the office, not knowing that it will be my one of my can't-live-without things. Moms really do know best, because it's the wet season again, and this raincoat couldn't have been given to me at a better time! I'm sure it will be very much used in the weeks, or even months, to come (specially during lunch breaks when we hunt for places to eat at)! :) I commend my mom for getting better in choosing styles of the stuff she buys for us. HEEHEE ;D Thanks mom! I love the coat and I love you!

On our way home on a rainy Thursday night

Never undervalue who you are,

Stacy

P.S. I will blog a tutorial about how I went from being a brunette to a red head soon! ;)

Sweet Chocolate Schu Bar!

The past Saturday, we celebrated being college grads *FINALLY!!!* in Rockwell with wine, cheese, tappas, and pasta at Barcino! :)

Mmmm. You could serve me this all day and you won't hear me whine!
I'm gonna have to end the photo montage (if you call one photo a montage) of our dinner at Barcino here. We weren't able to take lotso' photos because we were all too busy chatting, eating, and drinking the evening away! :)

OoTD Time!



I love these sandals! I love the style, the color, everything! Plus, they're so comfy! They're my favorite sandals this summer!

Incidentally... We went SCHU-SHOPPING! :)


If you have big feet, I feel your pain. I know how exasperating it is to see a pair of lovely shoes displayed outside a store, then hurrying inside to ask for it in your size, only to find out that their biggest size is a size 9--which only really fits a size 8. IT IS FRUSTRATING. I should know, I've got size 10 feet (I blame it on my dad)!
Lucky for us girls with big feet, I recently discovered that Chocolate Schu Bar provides trendy and uber stylish shoes that extend up to size 10 (other shoes even extend up to a size 11)!!! Thank God! :)


Behold! All my favorite schus from the latest collection--in MY SIZE!
I just had to get my own pair in purple (the one at the right most is purple, the lighting just makes it look brown)!

I went in wearing flat sandals, and that's me about to leave in heels! :D

Dahil atat ako.

I wore my new favorite heels to a party after leaving Rockwell and I was so surprised how comfortable they are! Usually I can't drive in heels, but this one is an exception. (I remember the first time I insisted on driving in heels, I ended up driving bare foot.) I was able to drive in them! How awesome it that??? I can't wait to wear it again! You'll definitely see more of our favorite schus in our future outfit posts!

Let your heels have a taste of the sweet and fancy Chocolate Schu Bar! Visit them at any of their branches in Rockwell, Trinoma, Glorietta 3, and Mall of Asia.

Enjoy schu shopping girls! ;)

Keep loving your body (and don't forget your feet too!),Stacy

OoTD: School's Out!!!

Today was the last day of hell week. And I have finally escaped. So long school!!! I'm finally free from your confinement!

With that, I deem this song appropriate for my sentiments. B)

Well we got no class
And we got no principals
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not go back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely!!!

Here's my outfit of the day. I thought today was the best day to wear a schoolgirl-inspired outfit since it's the last and final day of classes. (YAAAAAAAY!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO PARTY AND UNWIND THIS WEEKEND!!!)

Top Dorothy Perkins Skirt F21 Shoes Chocolate Schu Bar

My current favorite accessory! Got it from Forever 21.

I love these sandals from Chocolate Schu Bar! It's so comfy and I'm so happy that they actually have shoes up to my size--which is size 10!!! Shoe shopping has always been a problem for me and Danah because most shoes in the market only extend up to a US size 9 (40) which I desperately try to force my feet into. It's such relief to know that one of the most stylish shoe brands in the Metro cater to girls with big feet! ;)

Honestly, I don't really like my hairstyle now, but I don't really hate it either. *straight face* Ya'll know well that I always get my hair done by Azta Urban Salon (Eastwood branch), but since I was in such a rush to get my bangs trimmed for the PFW event, I just headed to a nearby salon somewhere in our neighborhood. The hair cutter chopped my bangs waaaay shorter than I told him to, hence the full bangs. And because I've decided and committed to growing my hair long for a change, having it cut again to fix the damage is not an option (although there are days that I am itching to!!!). Oh well, gotta work with what I've got. ;)

Have a great weekend, plumpies!!! I KNOW I WILL! Awwwyeaaaaaah! B)

Keep loving yourself (whether you like your hair or not),

Stacy
