Ode to Fashionistas: B.E.E. Inspired

It has been a week that I went loco over the amazing daily outfit posts of a blogger calling herself B.E.E. which stands for Blair Elise Eadie. 
"Pictures are louder than words": that simply describes her blog.  She seems to be an expert on mixing and matching, layering and more-is -indeed-still-ok theory (when it comes to apparel and accessories). Her style is echtly fashionable but essentially wearable.  

She simply inspires me to maximize whatever is inside my closet.











She is one true epitome of fashion.

Geez,I got so overwhelmed  with all her pictures from the latest to the very first post so without hesitation I emailed her and asked her some fashion-related questions.  To my dismay, but I do understand very well that she is a very occupied person, she was unable to reply my Q's. But the fact that she took time to reply to my e-mail made me feel elated and flattered. See below her brief and honest e-mail:
"Thank you so much for your e-mail.  Unfortunately I only commit to a small number of interviews a month, since I run my blog as a side hobby and want to ensure that I spend quality time on each interview.  I hope you understand and I am so flattered you like the blog.  I hope you are having a great week!!"
Best,
Blair

I Love Fuchsia and Peach Too

If one would ask me what my favorite color is, I know I will go blank for a few seconds.  I really do not know now what my favorite color is.  I used to be so fanatic with yellow and red and then pink, but those were during my salad days.  I do have now an eye for black and white, pink and its tints - honey suckle, magenta, fuchsia; and orange and its shades - peach, salmon, coral tangerine.

I so like the color of the newly painted walls of our 'home sweet home' in Bohol.

wearing: fuchsia shift dress with "cat" embroideries - G.Fiesta; peach peep-toe flats with glitters - Mags; sunglasses - SM Naga City

What is your favorite color?

Fashion Experiment: Floral Print Overload + Fiesta

Went to Bohol last weekend to visit relatives and enjoy the annual fiesta of San Isidro Labrador in my parents' hometown.

f.y.i. - a FIESTA is defined as a festival or religious holiday especially celebrated for a saint.

We enjoyed a brief tour in the municipality.  

There's a new addition to the long list of tourist spots in Bohol: the Mangorove Monkeys
Entrance Fee is Php 40.00
