Last hoooorah for summer 2012!

Wed, 30 May 2012 00:56:04 +0800

I know some of you loves summer like I do! No school, smoothies, sun, beach, roadtrips, out of town, pool, parties and etc! AHH. I can’t believe summer’s over now.

Anyway here’s my last hoooorah for summer 2012!

Last May 18, some of my friends and I went to White Beach, Puerto Galera for a 3 day getaway. <3

Day 1

We didn’t have a photo during our first day (because we’re too lazy to bring cam at the beach (?!!)). Of course, what we did was we went to Batangas Pier then to PG, organized our stuff at the hotel, eat and just had Cuervo near the beach.

Day 2

Bikini from Sparkle Couture

Snorkeling and Island Hopping
Watched the beautiful sunset
Partied all night! Mindoro Sling, <3

Day 3

No brand tube dress | Earrings from Forever21

Bikini from Topshop | Earring from BU1 | Bracelet c/o Artcessories

Watched the sunrise
Banana boat
Bought souvenirs

There you go, that’s my/our last hoorah for summer 2012. See you next year, summer!<3

Avel Bacudio’s

Chris Diaz’s

Eric Delos Santos’

Raoul Ramirez’s

These are the holiday collection of the said four awesome Philippine designers! Though they have different styles, they’re all alluring and elegant. Aren’t they? I liked Raoul Ramirez’s collection most because of its 20’s style and design.

You, which collection to you liked the most? :)

And for the last photo, TEHEEE. Hi Philippe <3<3<3<3<3. See you next season!

Leopard and Stripes

Mon, 21 May 2012 20:10:00 +0800

Stripes from Sparkle Couture, Leopard Skirt, Hat from Landmark, Footwear from Birkenstock, Leopard Bracelet c/o Artcessories

Here’s what I wore on our second day in White Beach, Puerto Galera! <3

Lovely top isn’t? The stripes top I used is actually a bikini. I just wore the leopard skirt when we had our lunch at the white beach. Here are some photos of the Bikini I bought at Sparkle Couture!

On my way there...

Sun, 20 May 2012 22:40:00 +0800

Top from Forever21, Shorts from New Look, Earrings from BU 1, Bracelet c/o Artcessories, Flip-flops from Havaianas

Here’s what I wore going to Puerto Galera! Not the flip flops though. I immediately changed my footwear when we got there. These was taken when we were about to eat our lunch at the White Beach. I forgot I was just wearing flip-flops but I was too lazy to go back to our hotel and change:P

My plan was to wear maxi dress.. good thing I changed my mind to wear shorts! The heat was so intense plus the boat was so full. Pawis-less!

Ooops! Sorry for the fail shot, this is only photo of my shorts so I don’t have a choice but to upload this. (for the details of my outfit) :|

Anyway, will blog about what happened on our last summer getaway soon!

Pambahay-ish

Thu, 17 May 2012 20:33:00 +0800

Top from Mango, Maong shorts from Next, Detachable collar c/o Bubbles, Rings c/o Alluringlove Onlineshop

Its already third week of May but it seems like the summer isn’t about to end! I can’t stand the heat!! Though I didn’t go out today, my cousins visited us so I wore something fresh pambhay-ish.

I don’t have much to say on this post. I still have to pack my stuff for an out of town tomorrow til Sunday. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Happy flower

Wed, 16 May 2012 19:36:00 +0800

Top from Top and Totes, Bandage Skirt from Greenhills, Hat from Landmark, Footwear from Liliw, Laguna

Hello!

I’ve been happy these past few days! I’m really enjoying my summer. I love the sun, the food overload, going to cafes with Adrian, swimming with friends, out of town, beach, mall, movies, catching up with my favorite TV series and etc! You, how have you been my humble readers? :)

Anyway, I wore something light and a happy flower-y top today! It’s a cropped top so I paired it with a high bandage skirt so it won’t be awkward. I wanted to pair it with my high waisted shorts but it’s in Manila so… bohooo :(

Sorry for the background. I was at my grandparents’ house and I don’t know where to take photos that no one will see me. So there you go, yero kung yero! Hahahaha :)

Let's dance!

Mon, 14 May 2012 20:47:00 +0800

Dress c/o RP Onlineshop, Frenchbraid c/o Bubbles, from Heel less shoes from Heur Sheen

Hello everyone! I finally have someone to take my photos here in Laguna. Meaning, more outfit posts this vacation. Yey!

Anyway, thank you Gia of RP Onlineshop for this lovely dress I wore! I received it yesterday and immediately fell inlove with it so I wore it earlier. *agad agad haha* . The dress is just so pretty puffy, yes? Plus it’s also comfortable! I’m the girl who hates repeating clothes but I would definitely wear this dress again. Its perfect when going to parties, events and even just in malls! :)

I was so happy with my dress and to the fact that I finally have someone to take my photos it made me dance out of joy! Literally! Hahaha.

So…. I’m sharing again a new great find. I bought this earring for only 10php somewhere in Trinoma. I forgot what store is it but its just in the mall’s ground floor.

I paired my dress with this black heel less shoes from Huer Sheen. Believe it or not, wearing these heel less shoes feels like you’re just wearing a wedge.

Anyway, here’s one of my secrets.. I usually bring flats everytime I go out with a killer heels! Or when I’m commute. This Frollics from Shop Dainty is so perfect because it’s foldable and so light!

Something oldie..

Sun, 13 May 2012 20:51:00 +0800

High waisted from Mom’s closet, HNY Satchel Bag, necklace c/o Bubbles, watch from Timex and Anthology Shoes

Hello eveyone! Sorry for not posting outfit posts this past few weeks! I don’t have someone to take my photos here in Laguna and our helper doesn’t know how to manually focus my SLR. My camera won’t auto focus so boohoo :(

Moving on, here’s what I wore on a coffee date with Adrian! I feel like wearing something oldie so I wore this high waisted shorts from my mom’s closet! :)

I’m so inlove with my sunnies! I bought them in Divi for only 50php. Great find, right? I actually bought 3 sunnies when I went shopping there.

Anyway, I’m enjoying the sun too much this summer so hello to darker skin! Honestly, I prefer dark skin tone. I don’t know why but I’m a proud morena.

Adrian and I had a dinner and movie date last May 1! I missed having this kind of date with him. I remember the last time we did this was February. Boohoo. Our relationship went on the rocks but I’m glad it’s okay now. Our love is sweeter <3

We had dinner in Friday’s!

My favorite Chicken Club Sandwich.

His Pacific Grilled Porkchop & Friday’s Pork Adobo for me.

It feels so nice that I can take photos of our food before eating it. He used to hate it when I does that. He even called me instagram-girl! Hahaha

We watched The Avengers! I loved the movie and I super loved Hulk!!!

Plus he surprised me with this gift! Been eyeing Anthology shoes ever since. Thank you so much, Adrian. :-)

Laughed my ass off when I saw this photo! The pink googly character is so me. Some of my friends are literally calling me instagram-ers because I always take photos of foods, places and awesome stuff before doing anything else! Wolowitz tweeted this to me and he said, this is how we looks like whenever we’re on a date! Hahahaha!! How silly, Dianne.

Anyway, follow me on instagram: DIANNEDEQUINA

Hey, Leopard?

Sat, 05 May 2012 15:03:56 +0800

Pink top from Mango, Leopard skirt from a bazaar, Tassel necklace c/o Bubbles, Jeffrey Campbell inspired platforms from Shop Dainty

I know leopard is so overrated but I bought this skirt months ago. I don’t know where to wear it so I just used it on our fun shoot last week!

I’m a simple girl who doesn’t want to over accessorize so I just put a simple tassel necklace that Bubbles gave me.

Plus, heels! You can never go wrong with heels especially with this nude platforms that you can wear in any of your clothes’ style, color and etc!

Went to Enchanted Kingdom with my college friends! I’ve always been in this place since I’m a girl from the south but I still had so much fun with them :-)

Anchor’s Away was our first ride!
