"Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet"

I remember back when I was young, whenever I hear the song Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison over the radio I always strut along to its beat and act like the woman being pertained to in the song. Crazy. Reminiscing those times literally makes me laugh out loud but back then I'd take it as a serious thing. I'll rummage my Mom's closet and look for an outfit that fancies me even if its twice my size and match it with 2-3 inch heels. Look at the mirror and pretend to be in a music video and whatnot. Those were the days... I can't believe its been so long! 

I've mentioned earlier that I used to ransack my Mom's closet and quite frankly, I still do now! Anyway, the brown polka dot dress I'm wearing is from her. It was a gift from my Dad back when they're still dating. They told me that this dress was an "in" thing in the 90s and I'm glad my Mom was able to preserve it after so many years. I sure am going to do the same, maybe I can pass it down to the future generation as well.


Ironically, this is (almost) the same dress Julia Roberts wore in her movie Pretty Woman. If you haven't watched or clearly understood the message of the movie; it's a story about social standing, respect to others and change. It's a must watch for everyone!

I'm wearing:

Belt: Gap || Shades: Sunnies by Charlie || Shoes: Parisian || Dress: Mom's closet

The bottom line of this post is, everyone should take time and appreciate vintage fashion. Some people might find it "baduy" and too old fashioned but if you come to think about it, that's where real fashion comes from. The Attic Bazaar: Where Decades Collide an event organized by The Business Management Society is the perfect place to reminisce the good old days. Little by little the past is making a comeback. We see how old inspires new. The ingenuity of people drives them to recreate something from the past and make it entirely their own. Old fads are continually being revamped to suit the needs and tastes of society today. Iconic elements in fashion, food, and entertainment from various eras are being revived and reworked with modern touches to produce something original, yet still reminiscent of the past. Through this bazaar, we bring you the throwback of the century. 

With its modern vintage theme, the Attic Bazaar is a place where people can revisit the past. With over a hundred concessionaires, one will truly be able to have a unique shopping experience. It’s definitely a treasure trove where you’ll be able to buy great finds. There will also be a series of events such as fashion shows, live performances, and many more that are in line with the “old meets new" concept.

The Attic Bazaar will be coming your way only at the SMX Convention Center Hall 3, this February 22 to 23, from 12nn to 10pm. Tickets are priced at low price of Php 50! So what are you waiting for? Join us as we rewrite history!

I really can't stay

Baby, it's cold outside

I've got to go 'way

I'll say this for the first time ever... totes loving the weather here in the Philippines. I really hope it stays like this all year long so I can finally wear my trench coats and boots outdoor without getting weird stares from strangers.

 I decided to take advantage of the cold weather and pulled out my best "chill" outfit in the closet and ended up with this look: cream-colored long sleeves, trendy skirt matched with a brown Ugg boots. Then I topped it off with a pearl necklace and fringe bag. Some people thinks that wearing skirts, shorts or dresses in a cold weather is inappropriate, well, I think not. Just because it's getting cold outside means that you can't wear skirts or dresses anymore. Always remember; it's just a matter of balancing and styling. If you think your bottoms is too short and scared of how cold your legs are going to get, wear a thicker top or boots to avoid freezing. Believe me, it works!

 What do you think of my look? 

Hey everyone! I'm baaaack! I apologize for being on blog hiatus AGAIN. I'm guessing all of you are already used (or maybe even sick) of my inconsistencies but hopefully it won't stop you from visiting the blog. Apparently, I'm still in the process of getting used to juggle both blogging and schooling at the same time and quite frankly, it's not easy. However, like what I've mentioned in my earlier posts 'there's no room for giving up!' blogging is my first love and I'll never leave this for anything. Believe me, TST is never nearing the end of the line, well, it's just getting started... ;)

I just want to say thank you to those who continue on supporting my blog and visits it daily. I appreciate it so much! and to those who keeps tweeting and messaging me for a blog update... here it is! Expect that I'll update this once or twice a week. Also, a huge shout-out to Fashion Blooms & Mart of China for the packages I received this year. I'll blog about them as soon as possible. 

Anyway, I have a lot in store for everyone this 2014 and I can't wait to unravel them one by one very soon. By the way, to those who joined my DRESSALE GIVEAWAY or planning to join, I'm going to hold it for a while... someone tweeted me a link directing to Dressale reviews and most of them, if not all comments was negative. I did my own investigation and frankly, I was stunned at what I discovered. Honestly, as I'm writing this I just want to delete the giveaway post and forget about it. But of course, I can't do that since it's partly my fault. I already contacted the person who approached me to host the giveaway and I'm still waiting for her reply. I just really want to confirm the issue before making the move. No worries though! I still have A LOT of giveaways coming up ;) just wait.

Stay Sassy! ♥

We ate a wholesome breakfast before we started our day, it kicks our metabolism into high gear, fueling our bodies and our minds for the long day of adventure ahead of us. One of the things I want to experience in Ilocos is to taste the local dishes like bagnet, longganisa and poki-poki.

Sitting atop this hill with the commanding view of the West Philippine Sea is the essential Lighthouse of Cape Bojeador. These majestic creation of man has served countless sailors from the days of the Galleons and currently the mega oil tankers. They serve as the beacon of light that seafarers use as a guide to avoid the dangerous shoals of the Cape in Burgos, Ilocos Norte.

Say hello to my new kicks! Well, what can I say "Secret Santa" definitely knows my taste. Thank you whoever you are :) 

Before I end this post, here's a candid shot of my gang and I at the shoreline fronting Cape Bojeador. Comments?

Happy New Year & Stay Sassy! ♥
