off to the next adventure!


these photos are in continuation with my weekend at my most favorite beach house in Daanbantayan. i think we might have abused the use of this beach house and i'm really thankful for my dad's friends who have allowed us to use this place whenever available. this is the first time i've spent my birthday here and being at such a pivotal point in my life --- turning 26, just having resigned and soon to be taking on a new career, it's only fitting that i be in a place where i can think and just take in the silence because in the next week, i will be diving into a whole different world. more details about my new career next week.  all i can say is that it will involve meeting a lot of new people.

on to what i wore here: i've always loved 80's fashion and i think i can say that the cut-off shoulders are definitely 80's. i've had this for years and have only worn this twice. i usually let go of clothes i have seldom used but i just love the pattern and color of this top. this is of coursed paired with my undying denim shorts and my favorite beach hat.

and by the way, i'd like to announce that the winner of the Cryst Jewelries giveaway is Gessyl of Gessyl Enchanted. Congratulations! I just sent you an e-mail so just reply to that with your contact details.
