falken pleasure

Spotted these boots on NastyGal. And as much as I'm liking the foxtail keychain by Marcc, I'm LOVING those clog boots with the open heels and ankle cuffs even more. After a slight obsessive few minutes of online surfing, I found out this style is called "FALKEN" by Sam Edelman. And I'm contemplating on getting this pair. Must resist the temptation. My inner voice keeps insisting that they'd be ideal for next fall, AND even summer, considering the open heel bit. And I think the voice is right.

miu miu fur clogs

This Miu Miu baby is perfection for me. I can't shake off my obsession with clogs and chunky wooden soles just yet. Wonder if this is still somewhere out there.

Just touched back in NYC after a glorious little road trip to Harvard University (my smarty pants bf had to take his final exam there). I must say...after a full day touring pretty much the best and brightest campus in theee universe, and scouring the lovely, quaint boutiques (esp their very spacious goody-filled LF store) and restaurants (like yummy Oleana!) through Cambridge, MA, I was so bummed out to jump back on the 4-hour Bolt bus ride and wave good bye.

Although I'll always have a soft spot for NYC, sometimes it's nice to immerse yourself in slower-rhythmed, serene environments. I mean even the mere sight of a little bird perched on a chair next to me as we sipped our lattes put me in a good mood. Seriously loved every second. I'm now thinking about pursuing my Masters degree in journalism at Harvard. Pssshhh...in my friggin dreams!

I was rummaging through some old lookbooks and editorials the other day, which triggered me to dabble with black and white with my bf (at 2am!!). Yes, very random. It's so weird. Whenever I get the urge to do something, I just have to go right then and there (diner runs at dawn, dvds after midnight, photo sessions with my main man at 2am...whoohoo). Screw timing!

Oh, and by the way, I love my Zara clogs! Seriously need to pipe down on my studded clog addictions.

Ok, just to recap a little...this Easter weekend was pretty delightful to say the least. If there's one thing I love more than anything it's spending quality moments with people I love, catching up on old times with the familia, reminiscing on stories when we were scruffy and odd little kids, and scarfing down on loads of Filipino food and ever so sweet Port wine. Can't help but feel a bit sappy these past couple of days.

Also, spent a lovely Friday with my boyfriend Lucas just strolling through SoHo, NYC and addictively ogling the many street vendors that were sprawled throughout Broadway and Prince Streets. If I could get my hands on leather triple roped bracelets in every hue, ornate rock star rings, and a myriad of pendant and charmed necklaces, I'd scoop them up in a HEART BEAT. We concluded our day with a lovely dinner and champagne cocktails at Barmarché. Their grilled shrimp salad and steak frites were out of this world scrumptious.

Took some streetstyle shots of some awesomely stylish people as well...stay tuned for those upcoming posts!


ps: If you guys find yourself debating on those JC clogs...here's a little tip from me, BUY THEM if you still can. They're ridiculously comfortable, quirky, and you'll find yourself walking the entire day not feeling an ounce of pain.

a storied journey through time

Took a spontaneous Sunday "field trip" to NYC's long renowned AMNH with my bf and familia. I felt a bit nostalgic since I remember touring that museum when I was a little scruffy kid, especially when I peeked out of the 81st street station only to find that much-beloved Central Park as the first of my sightings. Ah, memories!

After strolling through the many eyeful historic exhibits from T-Rex to Genghis Khan (which strangely reminded me of Stiller's Night at the Museum this time around), we pretty much concluded our little tour with a must-see seating at the trippy space show, Journey to the Stars. Go Whoopi! If you haven't been, just gooo! I guarantee you'll have a delightful and may I stress again "TRIPPY" experience. My mom cracked me up too, saying that she wished she could turn her bedroom into one of those dome screens and just fall asleep watching artificial shooting stars and auroras all night long. haha!

ps: Thanks guys for the lovely comments on my previous "trinket" post. I'll continue to shop for more little addictive knickknacks to add to my humble abode and keep you updated.
