Sari try out!

Me and My sister headed over to Mrs Vida's house to learn how to wear a Sari! At church ladies would wear them and look really exotic and elegant. I wanted to know how to wear a Sari! Along with the long fabric, you have to get a choli and a long skirt in order to help the sari skirt hold up.

Party People Part 1

Party people on the weekend wear what? Short dresses! Everyone has been wearing them since the mini rules. Minhee is wearing the black and white mini dress that is super fluffy on the top! Thi is wearing a animal print mini, with a belt and a greek-inspired cold shoulder.

I really adore the cold shoulder sleeves; to me they look so elegant and sexy at the same time!

The birthday girl wore a snappy dress from Mixed Lollies - I adore the black and white extra skirt that is coming out! It's like a big BOOM out of her!

Drovers Ball

Here are my friends posing with orchids at the Drovers fundraiser ball of 2011 - Look at my chikas!

Hollie - in the ruby red dress chose really well - A deep red color dress looks good on anyone, no matter what their skin tone - and I think the colors the girls chose looks great on them!

ke ke ke The one shoulder dress just makes me think about when 300 came out - bring back the Greek garb!

Tara was in the grey blue one shoulder dress in the middle. 

Night Markets

My little sister and Nauvoo know what to wear to the Todd Mall Markets at night. 

My sister kept it casual with cuffed jean shorts, black top and my oversized shirt dress - keeping it casual with MY clothes (anyone got a younger sister? you share my pain )

Nauvoo wore a cute floral dress and black corset top. What I adored about her outfit that night was her Vampire Knight jacket - Its so cool and it shows off her love for the anime and cosplay!

What we wore yesterday

This is what I wore after work today - I had to keep in mind that I was taking my little sister for a driving lesson (super scary!) So I threw on tight black jeans, loose cold shoulder top and flat boots to be fully prepared. I must admit that I think I went overboard with the accessories. Headband, red sunnies, long heart necklace  a ring on each finger and bangles - was that too much?

MC looked super cute in her gear~ She had her new favorite leopard print dance pants and thongs. I helped her with the top of her body. I lent her my long feather earrings and white man shirt. There was a massive sale on at Ed Harrys in town so I grabbed a few men's shirts for $5 each - thy're all XL and above but I fixed the shirt.
I made it to fit better at the bottom of the shirt so that it didn't look like a bag over anyone who wears it. Helps you look super relaxed without looking like you've gone out with your pajamas!

Pose for fun!

One afternoon after work I was cleaning my wardrobe and saw clothes that might look good together but do not fit me - either too big or too small. Thankfully I had my little sister and her friends to help me with my dilemma. It's school holidays now and all they seem to do is lay around the house and watch TV (which is what I did but I can do that). I had MC  throw on her long sleeveless tye-dye dress while I did the rest. I found this long colorful scarf at the Todd Mall Markets on Sunday and thought of other ways to wear a scarf. After mucking around a bit - we found that the scarf could work real good with it on her head! I enjoyed the disco gypsy feel the scarf gave off.

What I wore today!

This is what I decided to wear today! I found a corset given to me from Nauvoo (she said it was too big) and these long flowing pants with heels. 

I like this combo because I'm just showing off my shoulders and arms - the flowing pants cover your legs up but can still make the onlooker take notice of them as they might think "are they pants or a long skirt?"

Ellen and Taps

I went shopping for bags today at Ellen's work and needed to take a picture of her outfit~I thought it was very cute! It's only when I was hanging with her that evening that I found out how she constructed it. She had a small black with spaghetti straps jumpsuit on. And then she threw on a loose, black and white stripe cardigan! I like it!

Pinoy Todd Mall ~ 3 Avril 2011

The Filipino people were dominating the Todd Mall on Sunday with dance and food! It was more looking at the traditional and historical look at the Philippines rather than today - They had many traditional dances from all over! I really liked the dance from Pangasinan - they were dancing on a skinny bench! (sorry didn't get any vids of the dance - too busy biting my nails)

I loved all of the traditional outfits that the kids wore! You can just see all the variety of colors and styles all from a little group of islands! 

Out in Town ~ 2 April 2011

When I went out into town on Saturday night I must admit that I didn't take that many fashion pictures (I did take a lot they're just on fb). I like these earrings ~ they were worn by a friend of a friend. Small earrings are for work! And if you wanted to see the shoes from that night ~ just go to Shots Of Shoes!

Last night~

 Last night I headed over to the PIIX Group meeting and saw this cozy handbag. I remember the lady telling me where she got it from but I have totally forgotten it! I just thought it looked cozy because of the deep brown and white colors used. And the cats~they made the bag! And look at the awesome wooden key-ring that came with the bag!

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!

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?

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

Angela's Christmas work party ~ 3 Dec 2010

 Angela was kind enough to invite me to her work Christmas party! Even though I didn't really know anyone there I still had a lot of fun! Angela went all-out gung-ho for the event wearing a Santa hat, red top, tinsel skirt with bells on her belt. I thought that was cool because she got to jingle everywhere she went! Nauvoo was in the green strapless dress with those killer red hells on! 

Welcome back Caitlin! 3 Dec 2010

 Caitlin's back! Yes and a bunch of us came out to welcome her home! I adore what she wore that evening. Long blonde extensions in her hair, on a canvas of a tight black mini dress and a big red bow in the front!

Sabrina came out in a colorful strapless mini and Ellen had a black mini on with pockets. All of the other gals were also dressed up in heels, dresses and work clothes. But the pics I have of them were after a few drinks-you can see them all here.

Young Guns ~ 20 Nov 2010

 Another Young Guns was happening this Saturday! The weather was hot, plenty of drinks and everybody dressed up! I had some bright dangle yellow earrings~attached were some beads on chains, coins, necklace bits and another loop. 

 Olvia wore a strapless maxi dress with great colorful print all over it! All topped off with her big red fascinator. Lindal had a beautiful bright yellow dress finishing above the knee! I love the color yellow-it's happy and bright (matching her personality)! No more boring color bits!
And if you want to see the shoes from that day, see the Shots of Shoes Blog!

Nanay and Dad's 20th Wedding anniversary! ~19 Nov 2010

 Last night my parents had a party celebrating 20 years of marriage! Here they are; Dad wore the usual beach shirt with his favorite shorts. Nanay wore a blue print dress with an even blue-er under shirt.

MC and I had to help out Nanay the whole night so we dressed so that we were prepared for almost anything. I had a nice black top on; little shoulder pads and plenty of circular sequins stuck on to the front. And some board shorts- all black so if any food or dirt got onto it, you couldn't see it that easily. MC wore a dress that Nanay got her while we were in Sydney; a floral print dress with fabric that flows and bounce when MC walked round the place-Everyone else seems to love it, but I don't think it is that flattering for my little sister

What I wore yesterday at Toastmasters~ 15 Nov 2010

Toastmasters is so much fun! It is fun to me because it gives me a good challenge with friendly people! Last week at Toastmasters, Jose mentioned that everyone used to dress up for Toastmasters meetings. And I must admit, on a Monday night, right after work, I don't feel  like getting dressed up. So this meeting I tried making an effort. In 5 minutes, I grabbed an old blue, black and white print k-mart dress that I have worn many times before. My favorite winter boots this year from Betts. And an old jacket that I had from my time in the UK. For a limited amount of time, the outfit looked good. I am a big fan of mixing and matching tops and bottoms so that I don't have to go shopping that often~I love it!
