Paisley Sundays + Make-up

*WARNING: EXPECT A LOT OF VANITY* LOL


Yesterday, I went to Church with my family. Just a usual Sunday with the fambam. Went to Church then have late lunch/early dinner. I was just planning to wear something easy because I'm usually so lazy to dress up. However, when I was dressing up, I was undecided on what to wear. So I just picked out my favorite paisley top from Forever 21 and threw on my red Bench jeans which I have cut up to my knees. The accessories I wore were built around the colors of my top.

Arm candies. :)

Now on to my make-up!

Since my outfit already consisted of loud and bright colors, I opted to wear neutrals on my face except for my lips. I think this is my go-to look: Neutral eyes, red lips.

Mary Kay medium coverage foundation in Beige 402 / Brows are filled using BYS brow liner in blonde

Etude House liquid liner in Black/ Pink blush from a Japanese drugstore/ Lipstick from MAC (Mac Red)
/ LA Girl voluminous mascara in Black   

Finished Product! :)

It always surprises me that I can still manage to pull off outfits like this because I'm always so lazy in putting together my outfits. It's always so nice to be creative even in the way you dress because you get to express how you feel. It's an added bonus that it makes you feel good. 

How's your day so far?

Today started really sunny and I didn't expect it to rain in the afternoon, more so to go out of the house and go to the mall with my mom. LOL So as lazy as I always am on a rainy day, I just threw on a long sleeved top my aunt gave me and pair it with comfy shorts because I hate getting my jeans wet. I wore slippers because I also do NOT want my shoes to get wet too. My earrings are extra special because I made them! :)

Nowadays, my mom usually is my constant companion. Apart from the fact that I work for her on the weekends, I'm also her 1st helper in anything and her "driver" whenever she goes grocery shopping or just wants to go to the mall to eat or buy her stuff. It's like our bonding session. We get to talk a lot about diverse topics- something we weren't able to do when I was in my "teens". I am happy though that both of us get to have these dates because it's high time that I need her counsel and advice because I'm entering a stage where I am ready to have my own family, work abroad, etc.

How was your day? ;)

not an ordinary Sunday

Today is not my regular Sunday. Well, most of it is the same but the fun I had wasn't. After church service, we stayed for a long while and I don't know how my mind was so in sync with my sister's that we were very spontaneous the whole afternoon. We spent our time with the kids, a couple of 'em were our nieces.

DOWNTOWN

Today, PJ and I went downtown to look for supplies for my online accessories shop. It was really hot and I loved it. We just parked the car at a mall and made our way to what we call here in Iloilo "downtown", on foot. These days, our couple time is either we're watching a movie, going for a little run/jog or walking the streets of Downtown Iloilo to find supplies for my shop. Unfortunately though, there were no available items of what I specifically need. However, I really enjoy spending my time with him and I love that he's so supportive of what I do. I find it the cutest when we both synchronize our errands, especially bank errands so we could meet at the bank and do other errands while enjoying our time together! :)

Since it was hot during the day, I decided to wear my trusty white breathable blouse and denim shorts. I was actually feeling kind-of lazy so I just put on a nice pair of earrings, a couple of handmade bracelet and watch, wore flats since we walked all day and a mailman bag. :D

The real Father's Day

It's a Sunday once again. Apparently, today's the real father's day and not last Sunday, which I thought was- hence this blog entry. lol My family doesn't usually spend Father's Day with my Dad because he's away most of the time for work. My dad's a seaman so most of the time, he's out there conquering the ocean. :) I love my dad and we always get to have our bonding sessions- just me and him whenever he's home. If you look at it, of the 24 years my mom and dad have been a married couple, their time spent physically together is even less than 10 years! The most vacation my dad gets nowadays is 1-2 months. There were times he was here for just about a month, or less than a month. I don't like for us to be apart most of the time but that's how my dad earns a living for us and soon enough, I'll be able to understand that. (That's a little off topic. LOL)

Anyway, Happy Father's Day to your dads! <3

Here are the pictures of what this day was like for me and my family:

ME! :-)

ME again. hehe

Woven In

I forgot the exact date of when this was taken but I'm pretty sure it was just last week. I think we had a church meeting and went to do a few errands... grocery shopping, i guess. Recently I've been wearing skirts because of the hot weather. I love the top given to me by my mom- she bought it in Davao when she visited my dad there. The belt I'm using is a scarf that has been my fave to use. At the end of this day though, I opted to wear my flip-flops since it's really a hassle driving in heels! LOL

top: gift from my mom/skirt: SM/bag: Cherokee/ wedges: So FAB!

Love this back detail

If you notice though, the bag, shoes and my top have one thing in common: they all have woven-in designs.

Floral Sunday

Last Sunday was just like any other Sunday for me and my family. We went to church then spent the rest of the afternoon at the mall to eat and hang out. I wore my new skirt  I bought after the "Pizzaro Date" at Blacksheep. I kinda like it because it's trendy but I don't get to compromise it's comfort and fit. It was one of those times I traded my jeans (I'm a jeans girl) for a nice looking skirt. ;-)

Hand me down: my dad gave me his watch ;)

Thanks mom, for taking this! :)

Oh, nothing special really happened on this Sunday but the kids in our Church had a memory test on their Bible Verses. ;) Here's a picture of my sister, Dordz, who is the Sunday School teacher with a student who happens to be our niece! lol
