I am getting excited that I will be spending my summer in the US and will walk around the streets of New York and LA. To prepare for my up coming escape, I thought of getting my summer travel inspirations outfits as early as now.

What I am actually looking at are casual and comfortable-ready for anything outfits. I was browsing H&M’s FB photos and saw these simple yet trendy ensembles. This are really perfect for those easy summer travels where you just need to pack and go.

I’ve been dreaming and hoping that I will have one of these to accompany me with in one of my travels very very soon.


I posted a poster before about Splash’s fashion show with a running title “Splash Fashion League (see this link). It was indeed a very fashionable event full of a very edgy and sporty spring/ summer collection. 

Me and my photographer friend Zheena were invited to gazed this event and have a look at their new collections. 

The good thing about Splash is that their stuff are not expensive (will fit everyone’s budget), all you have to do is to be creative and and have a bit of imagination, which is what this fashion show is all about——CREATIVE FASHION.

Before Dubai’s Global Village came to a close, we thought of celebrating a friend’s birthday and try “what they say” as the best and authentic tom yum soup in town. Our street food adventure became a bargain spree adventure, and also a chance of doing an outfit blog.

Because it was just an impromptu invitation, I just grabbed what I can from my closet. Global village is located just a bit outside the metro so it was expected that it will be colder compared to city.

Forget about the floral plastic bag, but it complimented what I was wearing.^^

We spent most of the time in the Thailand Court. We got a lot of stuff there and ate a lot as well. We bought some bamboo magic towel also in the Austrian Court (we love it).

What am I wearing: Striped round neck shirt and long sleeves shirt both from TOPMAN, Pants from H&M and Shoes from ALDO.

I’ve been teaching kids for quite some time now, so i thought to do some fashion blogging     for what I wore during our latest class. 

As winter was leaving us already and summer is still on its way—please go slow, I thought of wearing a layered outfit (and still show my kiddie side).

While struggling from my lost luggage when i was in Paris, I bought an anniversary Disney Paris shirt. This is perfect as an undershirt with a brown and orange checkered (open button) shirt I got from a flee market (Ukay-Ukay) in the Philippines.

For pants, I wore my favorite washed light brown denim from H&M.

H&M has become green —- and I am not talking about a color of a blazer (although they have one that I really like—see photo below).

H&M launched its brand new collection called “H&M Conscious”. I have been seeing their poster for quite some time now in the mall and even along the street near our office. At first, I fell in love with the olive-green like blazer, but then I got curious with the term “Conscious Collection”, so I did my little research on it (thank you internet).

What is H&M Conscious Collection? According to their official website, Conscious Collection is part of H&M’s work towards a more sustainable future.

“ Our (H&M) vision is that all our operations should be run in a way that is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable….We want to make sustainable choices in fashion available, affordable and attractive to as many people as possible” - Conscious Actions Sustainability Report 2012.

It is nice to know that even our favorite clothing brand is making a mark in creating a greener future for the generations to come.

As what I have mentioned in my previous travel blog (click here), my luggage was declared missing during my arrival in Paris. After waiting for 3 days, I decided that it was about time for me to move on and buy new clothes to wear ( I still have a lot of days left for my “back packing trip” and I don’t want to spend them wearing the same khaki shorts and souvenir shirts).

I walked along the street of Champs Elysees and found an H&M shop! PERFECT! I love H&M! I love how their clothes perfectly fit my asian built (not to mention very affordable), that is why it was a no brainer that this should be the first shop where I will get my new ensembles for this trip.

The first thing I looked for was a blazer (and a scarf to follow), although it was summer, Paris weather was still very cold for me in the evening.I also grabbed a few colored skinny pants, a couple of T-shirts and checkered slim fit shirts, sets of underwear and lastly I bought a leather bag so I can use it as an alternative to the one I lost in the airport.

I love what I bought and from the looks of it, there was no need for me to look for another shop! I completed my whole outfit for the whole trip! Thanks to H&M! ….NOW I AM REALLY READY TO HIT PARIS!

Thinking of a gift for my cutie godson’s first birthday, I rushed myself to Baby Shop. I decided to make a little fashionista out of this bundle of joy, by getting him an outfit that will fit the upcoming seasonal transition (from winter to spring/summer).

It was so exciting mix matching clothes from the 1yr old rack and I found the perfect ensemble. I chose a multi-colored Disney zip on top and a pale yellow shorts.—I love how all these worked together and created a cutie baby fashionista.

I think I will post more baby fashion photos in my future blogs.

Here’s a sneak peek  of the upcoming Spring/Summer ‘13 trends from TOPMAN.


I am not really sure about this, but I will still check them out. Too bold,too flashy and too leg revealing for my taste, but, as what we can see with the trends today, prints are really on their way as a top “must haves” this season.
What do you think of this collection?
