What I wore to Church today!

This is what I wore to Church this evening! I found one of my old crazy color print skirts and decided to get it out of the closet. I wore a plain yellow top to not be too loud in my outfit (the skirt did that). I also wore a green bracelet and a green lolly necklace ~colorful no?

oh, did you want to see the shoes from Church today?

Church today ~ 30 Jan 2011

Church was especially fun today! I love going up and reading because I get a good look at the congregation and see what they're wearing!

 Above is the pic of all us Pinoy choir girls who were in the 'young' group! I decided to put this picture on my blog because we were the girls with the brightest clothing there. We have the bright colors, dresses and funk! 

28Jan11 ~ concert and Val's goodbye!

 Last night there was a concert at the Casino as a fundraiser for the QLD floods! What a great idea! Hang out with friends, have a show, get food and you're helping people! I had to take some pics of what people wore - Diana was here in a floral mini that had ruffles as trimming. I think that adding the unbuttoned white spotted top was a wise addition to her outfit. Ngan wore the weather-appropriate dress. Short shorts that were torn at the hem~I'm seeing a pattern that the cuffing-of-almost-everything is leaving! And she had a neat sleeved shirt - and she got it right. I do admit that I wear the wrong sleeved shirt, and that is mainly because they consist of old work uniforms, free from sporting events or they were bought by my Nanay. Ngan blows my sleeved shirt collection out of the water!

Today ~ Jessica!

Today as I was doing errands with the family and saw Jess in the street! Look at what she was wearing! This was my highlight of the day ~ seeing her creative and awesome clothing walking down the street! A black corset, tight pants and EPIC  platform boots with laces done up the front! I like her use of black - seriously, not many people can look good wearing all black. The color in my opinion, is not important - if you look closely to what she wore, it gives a much better impression and shows how much she cares about detail.

I think that her umbrella topped the whole outfit off! I have only seen 2 other people in town with umbrellas to cover themselves from the sun. Umbrella's are good! They're not the fashion rage but there are good reasons to have them in the summer - An umbrella helps protect your skin from the sun, and in Jessica's case it can help make you look real elegant.

Now I want to have an umbrella and look cool like her!

Hangin today

 Today Mc and I decided to have a good dinner at Maccas with some of our friends from Korea! So when you go to maccas, you don't need to dress up, just get comfortable. Mc got up in her grey leopard print top with a flare black skirt - that whole outfit made her look so cute!

Australia day~26 Jan 2011

Australia Day is one of the biggest holidays of the year for Aussies! One day where everyone relaxes by the pool and  has a good BBQ. My Australia day was very much like that, and you can see the proof on fb.

I also found some good links to how being an Aussie is great for your health. Have a good read and remember to keep cool on Australia Day!

Out in town ~ 22 Jan 2011

 Saturday night was the night to go out! I bumped into Tina, Dwayne and Karina at the casino and man they looked good! Tina had on a ballerina inspired dress with a bright green belt. I thought that that belt was the highlight of the outfit because it is a sudden plash of color that draws your eyes to look more at the puffy skirt with the soft layers. Dwayne had a neatly ironed black shirt with gray/black knee-length jeans. Karina wore a Little Black Dress, with a beautiful ocean blue belt. I really love the sleeves on her dress because I love the Greek inspired cold shoulder that's back in fashion (finally)! And if you want to see more pics of that night, look on fb.

 Here is a lovely gal that I met last night: Valériane. She's from France and is leaving next weekend! She had to come out with us to experience Alice Springs more! She wore relaxed and casual clothes - Shorts, yellow top with a shorted gray one over the top. She was really showing off her skating skills by skating on one leg and texting while on the ice. 

Car wash fund raiser for QLD floods

Today in Alice Springs, some good hearted gals and boys get together to have a bikini car wash to support the flood victims in QLD! Dad and I went down to support them of course, and we donated some money. I think that they made lots of money because the line was massive to get your car washed! I wanted the boys to clean my car but I had errands to do and couldn't wait in the line.

The boys were in charge of polishing the cars as the gals finished washing. I'm so glad that there were guys who helped out with the car wash; But they opted not to wear the bikini attire (smart move). 

I stopped Ethan from working by taking a picture with him! He was a part of the official car-washer-watchers group of men - Hee hee! The three gals did a lot of the work - and had heaps of fun doing it! A hot day with water and cars - that's a good weekend no?

I made a Jabot!

I went searching on the internet to see if there were any really-easy-to-follow-instructions for some fashion accessories. I came across an article on how to make a Victorian Jabot! The article was from 'What the craft' and it was so easy to do; So I decided to make one myself!

I had some felt at home and green lace and therefore I was going to make a green jabot. I laid it all out just to see what it might look like at the end.

I changed my mind just to stick with the lace with the two colors - because I ran out of the other green lace. But you can change your mind right?

At Church 16 Jan 2011

Here's big pic of the Pinoy gals from the afternoon mass! You can see how we get all a dressed up and live up the old descriptive term: "Sunday best"

Here are all the Pinoy boys from church! But JoieAnne and AnneJomay also jumped into the picture!

And here's the Gunner Gals! Mel wore a black puffed sleeved top with a layered pink skirt and her birthday shoes from big sis Ellen. Ellen had her special black top all decked out with lace and little sleeves. She said that she felt real bad for being in a rush and coming to Church in shorts. I recon that it was alright because, she came. Sure some people don't look their best when they come to Church, but they still come and that's what counts right?

Nails on the weekend

 I have decided to experiment at home how I can make my nails look pretty. I never really used to look after them, but now seeing all the colors you can have, all different designs; I decided to do a little DIY. I thought about doing French nails, but it seems that everyone has them. So instead of having a pale white/peach tips of the nails, I used bright colors. Out of the red and blue I prefer the blue.

I also tried working with the brush to put paw prints on my nails with a bright orange background. It looked real cute  - only I ruined  it by doing the dished right after, and a little too soon...

Caitlin's goodbye 8 Jan 2011

Caitlin is leaving us! What else could happen but have a party? YES! I got this epic snapshot of Georgie dancing in her striped and buttoned up top tucked into her black skirt with more buttons. I have this new theory that Georgie really loved buttons that night.

Catherine's Lunch ~ 8 Jan 2011

Catherine had a sumptuous lunch on Saturday - there was sooo much food! Aside from that all the girls looked good! Mind you, all I did take pictures of was the girls! I wore a sailor-inspired top. It had stripes, buttons on the shoulder with a badge over a pocket with boats and rope embroided onto it. I also wore shorts and sunnies because I biked to this lunch - very hot  and quick ride to the house.

All the other gals looked great! Maria had some shorts on (she was biking earlier on too!) with a loose stripe top and a longer undershirt. Lizbeth and Hollie had dresses on but different color scheme. Lizbeth had a floral dress with pastel colors while Hollie had the bold black and white dress. Catherine wore a floral jumpsuit while rocking her catering skills. I must admit that the jumpsuit looks good hanging off her loosely, it gives off a more relaxed feel to the whole party when the host is just chillin.

Ice Skating ~ 7 Jan 2011

 Ice skating is so much fun and a treat for us desert folk! The Ice Rink was back in the Alice and so M.C. and I gathered some friends and went skating! M.C. wore neat gray leggings with a loose purple top. The scarf I got while I was in Sydney and I was wearing the exact same one in gray! That was to make sure people really knew we were sisters! You can see the whole gallery on fb

What I'm going to wear today!

 This is what I'm going to wear today! I'm staring a new office-type job to day and it's my very first day! I found an earring and necklace set with turtles on them. Thought they'd be good to wear along with a colorful print top and a neatly ironed high waisted skirt.I'm all nervous and exited about starting my new job~Hope it all goes good!

Church today ~ 2 Jan 2010

 Today at Church it was hot and sticky, but that didn't mean people didn't dress up! Look at all the color around! I really loved the one-piece red shirt dress and Joie-Anne's white lace print top. I know we got a head shot of everyone but you can see some shoes at the shoe blog.

Here's Caterina and I. Caterina kept everything simple and had a black top with blue jeans. I had a floral jumpsuit on and just popped an old flare skirt to be more conservative at Church.
Remember to tag yourself on FB!

New Year's!

 Happy New year everyone! It's now 2011 and everyone's recovering from a big night last night! I'm all ready for the new year so here's pics form my New Years. These boys I don't think I'll figure out until they tag themselves on Facebook. They wore unconventional New Years attire but they did put a lot of effort into what they wore which I think was very commendable. I feel bad for them because it must've been swealtering in their suits

 Here's me and Chee. Sunnies and tie makes the whole thing come together. I had some long but light earrings on that I found at a second-hand shop in Glenelg while on holiday. Very elegant and, it's helping the environment by not throwing it in a dump!
