Care For Some Tea?

Hello there! So as mentioned in my last post, I was busy Coordinating events. Last month, I had my last event for the year (last, to focus on school), a Debut with an Alice in Wonderland theme. As coordinators, Andrea and I want to put personalized details, otherwise, it'll look too stiff and corporate; so when the debutant wanted Teacup Candles for her 18 candles, then Teacup Candles she shall get. And since I don't know where to find a supplier in time, I made them myself! Here's a short DIY on how I did it.

What you need:

-Teacup and Saucer (They chose a plain one because I used colorful waxes (and its hard to find 18 uniform vintage ones), but an old vintage one with floral details is really cute, too!)

-Candle waxes (usually sold by blocks or flakes) or just Candles and get the wicks.

-Wicks (you may use the ones in the candle like what I did)

Not in the picture:

-Chopsticks

-A Double Boiler and Bowl OR a Pot and a Thick Can or an Ice Bucket.

-A Stove

-To color if you have white waxes, use an Oil-based coloring (not water!) or crayons!

Procedure:

So I'm not gonna do a step by step because I lack too much pistures (haha) but basically, what you is boil water in your pot and put the bowl/ice bucket over it. Wait for it to melt, while waiting, get you wick and chopsticks and place it like so (picture below). Chopsticks are so useful! haha.

Then get the ice bucket (make sure you use mittens! They're hot!) and pour the wax into your teacup. And wait for it to cool down. In case you are wondering what the measuring tape is for, its to get the dimensions of the cup and saucer to know how big the box I was gonna buy. :)

Here are the "Product Shots" once they're all done!

So there you go, Teacup Candles! And if you're following me on Instagram, then you might have seen the a Flipgram of the debut, if not, you can check it out here or here's a couple of pictures for you.

Our #ootd with our Black & White Mesh Dresses and opposite sandals. Comfy enough to run around without sacrificing fashion and the theme. We're Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum!

Some graphic materials Andrea designed for the debutant. Another personalized touch we love doing!

Fashion Resolutions

2014 is just around the corner and I notice that people aren't making resolutions, they say it's too mainstream and people don't really fulfill these resolutions anyway. Well, I want to make a few fashion resolutions.

1. More Maxis! I just looove them! So elegant with such little effort.

2. More White staples for my closet. I have too much black that this Christmas season, all I've been wearing is black *gasp* haha

3. More Gold (definitely)! accessories like bags, shoes, belts, jewelry :)

4. Buy new set of jeans for school, almost all my jeans are loose and baggy :( I lost some weight (like whats left of me, right?) due to stress with organizations (I'm currently the president of the Architecture org in our school), work, business, and studies.

5. Keep my closet organized! :P

Love my new necklace! I call him Sven :) #Frozen

Gifted Necklace (thanks Andrea!), Parisian Flats, Top and Skirt from The Coterie, found at the 2/F One Pavilion Mall, R. Duterte St, Banawa, Cebu City :)

What's your fashion resolution for the upcoming 2014? :)

Stay awesome readers and thanks for supporting my little blog :)

Last Clean T-Shirt

Hello there and sorry for being in hiatus again! I come back with an outfit post, one of the many faves i have this Christmas break, too bad I didn't get to take pictures for the other ones :( I shall!~soon. The camera's with my sister so I have to make do :D

Anyway, on to my outfit, I just looove Christmas Shopping and Christmas gifts! Today, I wanted to take my new stuff out for a walk and I came up with this! Very New York, I think, but fitted for the weather here. I'm not big on the midriff trend cause I'm quite shy showing stomach skin, but with high waist shorts, problem solved!

Metro Dept Top, Soiree Leather Shorts, Forever 21 Boots, Terranova Bonnet

Thanks to Andrea for taking my photos!

B-T-dub, check out Ayala's new wing! It's great!

And P.S. did you notice my new hair? It permanent, done by Chulo's Hair Salon (Korean) in Rosedale. The owner personally did my hair and I was happy with the result--much cheaper there, too! :)

Touchdown, Boracay!

Hello there from Boracay! I arrived here this morning having traveled alone. It was a first time, and it was pretty scary (mostly because of the earthquake I felt before I boarded). Luckily, I had the same flight with someone I know, that taught me a few tricks.  If you ever travel to Boracay, here area a few tips: From the airport, you are to ride a tricycle (usually P80) but if you're travelling light, the port is walkable (800m?). Then your ride a pump boat from Caticlan to Cagban Port (P200) and Ride a tricyle or "single (habal-habal)" to your hotel or resort.

I am staying in my brother's staff house, Isla Azul, near D'Mall (yey!). We ate lunch at The Palms of Boracay and am now resting in Kikko's Boracay Resort. This is the up side of having a brother who lives in Boracay and who works in hotel construction (free accommodation, yey me!).

Divided by H&M Top, Bazaar Kimono Top and Lace Shorts, Solemate Flats, Hawaiian Sun Shades

Country Girl

It's finally sembreak! Been to 4 parties in the last 3 days is definitely a sign that free time is here! To start it off, here's one of my back logs, an outfit I wore to church a few weeks ago that shouts--Country!

Sister's Top, Old pair of leggings, Kirah's Boots, Travelon Bag

I wish our weather would allow more outfits like this, it was okay for me because I was mostly inside an air-conditioned room, but imagine if you're walking around the city in this, stares + sweat haha.

Next post will be a summary of the parties I just went to. Btw, I am so excited for my trip this sembreak, stay tuned!:)

Skirt Trend

Maxi, Midi, Skater, Peplum, Bandage, Pencil and a Whole lot more! Owning an online shop that makes customized items means that I have to do a whole lot of research for new designs, and lately there is a whole lot of skirts going around! I'm so glad Cebuanos are dressing up more, less weirded out stares in the future:) And I love it so much, skirts are just so laid back and easy to style! Just throw on a simple top and you are good to go! Other items that are trending are skater dresses and midriffs! On to my outift:

I know my baller is so off, but I wear this all the time on casual days <3>

Love Eleven Maxi Skirt, One Pavilion Dept Store Sheer Cut out Top, Solemate, SM Dept Store Flate, Travellers Bag

Finals is next week! I can hardly wait, I have so much planned for sembreak! A bit nervous of my grades though but I'm gonna let tomorrow worry for itself:) Seasons fashion show was last night and since I was one of the models, I didn't get to take much photos. I'll wait 'til photos are posted and grab then compile (*evil laugh*, but I'll credit and ask of course, teehee*) That's all for now, just a little update here and there:)
