Shorts but make it Formal!

 

My wardrobe is filled with shorts, if you live in the Philippines or in any tropical country in general, you’ll understand why!

Thankfully, brands like Love, Bonito are making shorts that can pass up with more than a casual vibe.  I got this unique green colored shirt in Leatherette format from Love, Bonito x Coleen collection.  It is probably not available anymore but you can always check their site for some nice comfy shorts that can double up as meeting shorts.

Paired with a dressy white polo top!  I was quite surprised I have a pair of shoes that is the exact same color as my shorts!

I attended an event with this look and I was so comfortable with this I plan to use this shorts again pairing it to maybe with a different top?

Any top suggestions, AMW Friends?

Love, Bonito Opens in Greenbelt 3 (ANNOUNCEMENT!)

 

PSA!
Public Service Announcement!

Love, Bonito officially opens its' doors last July 12th at Greenbelt 3 for Media and their VIP members.  Unfortunately, there were some issues in store (aircon broke down) and they have decided to move the official opening to a latter date.

Truth be told, it was hell shopping inside a humid store but their staffs were so friendly and helpful I forgot I was drenched in perspiration.  After seeing their announcement of not pushing through the Grand Opening for Public this July 13th, it gave me a nice sense of "I am a fan of the right brand!"  A brand that cares for the customers instead of sales because they can just push through opening and rack sales here and there even with discomfort from customers.

And NO, I am not "ass-wiping" or getting paid to write this article, I am really just a fan of this brand in general as they really make good, quality clothes that I personally shopped online through the years for so many times!  (Especially SALE Season!) 

That said, I am one of the many who got super excited to see this brand PHYSICALLY in PH!

So even when I am drenched with sweat, I am still happily shopping in their store!  Thankfully, I knew my size by heart so I did not even get to try them inside their dressing rooms!  I just went for my gut ! 

If unlike me, you still do not have the "gut" to shop without trying, please follow Love, Bonito on their instagram page to know their official opening date!

But just a quick preview, I took some photos of the store so you'll know what to expect when you get to visit!  

There are many key pieces that you can wear and re-wear on many occasions!

 

Also love this section of the store.  I wished I got that white top!  It look so sexy!

Shopping at Love, Bonito won't be complete if you don't try their blazers! I mean the Philippines is so hot but if you work inside an office, this is definitely a staple in the closet!  I own a couple of Blazers from Love, Bonito and I want more!

I love this rack as you can create a number of outfit by just mixing and matching all these.

More pieces to watch out for for that classy look.

With Fashion creators I look up to!

My OOTD is all Love, Bonito of course!

Happy Shopping!

White and Pink Will always be Classy!

 

I love the color combination of Blush pink and White in fashion.  I felt so girlie and youthful.  Whenever I wear such combo, I always get complimented on how fresh I look even if I pair this with a pink a blazer under a 40Degrees Celsius weather!  

Top: Love Bonito

Skort: From Metro Store

I love the square-neck  top showing more skin thus making me look slimmer.

To complete this dainty look, I like to do beach waves curl for my hair.

How do you like this look?

Fashion: All White with a touch of Hot Pink

 I remember seeing my mom in her 40's in pants ALL her life until the time of writing.  She is very conscious of her varicose veins and I wished she would wear more shorts and skirts because she has gorgeous legs!  Perfectly shapes, very flawless --- my sister and I would always tell her that she's got the best pair of legs among us - screw varicose veins but I cannot force my super conservative mom.

Growing up with that in mind, I have told myself I'd wear more shorts, skirts and expose my legs as much as I can before I end up having varicose veins!  I do have some on my feet but who cares right?  I am so grateful to be born in this era where Self-Love and Confidence is the best form of love for oneself.

That is such a long intro for just an outfit post *laughs*  I hope you accept my apology but #sorrynotsorry here :P  I randomly picked this outfit on a cooler weather when me and my husband headed out for a lunch date.  I wanted something comfortable and to protect myself when I tend to get cold inside an air-conditioned restaurant or mall and an outfit where I can easily remove my outer sweater when it gets hot.

Welcome to the Philippines - where our weather has an attitude!

It is very important to invest on cute belts as it can create that old money vibe!

Love, Bonito 11.11 Picks

 

I love dressing up and I love shopping for clothes.  The sheer amount of clothes you can see in my closet will give you an impression of a shopaholic.  But I am not! :P  (That's what I say!) 

I recently just did a spring cleaning and gave away 3 garbage-bag full of clothes for donation and keeping key pieces that I can wear again and again.  I used to purchase by the "fashion" and buy pieces I cannot wear after 10 years!  

So if you are also like that, I am NOT judging you.

One brand I recently get to love is Love, Bonito.  Their pieces are made meticulously, their designs work through the years and the styles are just .. well...my style - meaning, every single person get to find their style in a Love, Bonito store (in my case, Online store)

For Love, Bonito's 11.11 Singles Day Sale, I've picked another round of my favorite pieces that I can mix and match, wear and re-wear multiple times!  

Are you ready?

Outfit 1 

1. Teyla Elastic Paperbag Jeans in Light Denim Wash - size runs big so please downsize!  Size 27 is still big on me considering I am really a size 28
2. Jaelia Crop Camisole Top in Sunflower - go for Large if you want the crop to be not to high, this is not zipped so the bigger the better, I do not have to have a hard time wearing! 
3. Goldie Textured Collared Shirt in Lotus Green - because this design is loose, I got size Small and it was perfect.

Love Bonito First Haul

 

I've been seeing Love Bonito Hauls online for so long.  I've been meaning to shop but I am so lazy to worry about the right size so I pushed the thought aside.

Thankfully, because of their biggest mid-year sale, I've decided to give it a go this month and guess what?  I AM SO HAPPY WITH MY FIRST PURCHASE there are 2 deliveries scheduled to deliver because I was hooked!

:Please forgive my crumpled OOTDs.  I literally wore this when I "unboxed" my newly arrived package!  It took me around a week to get this order but for SALE season, you have to be patient as it will take longer time for them to fulfill your orders!

Back to my OOTD!

Outfit 1: Sandrine Twist Strap 

Size: Medium

Good quality cloth with pockets!  The color is unique and nice and would work for black, brown or even white belts!  Check my next OOTDs!
