plaid and barefoot (almost)

2009 April 7

I told you from my last post that I went thrift shopping and got some sweet items, one of which was this spring-summery plaid dress. What I did not realize was the neckline was way too low, still I love how comfy it is. 

I went out Sunday night for a movie and dinner date with The Boyfriend. I planned on wearing the dress but I got some problems — one, the weather was a bit warm to wear boots or booties, two, I just did my nails and I’m sure shoes would ruin them, and three, I have no sandals. I know, big problems (sarcastic smile) going on in my life. So what did I do? I went on wearing my planned outfit, did my make-up and wore my slippers. If you’re thinking, that’s not so bad maybe it’s Havaianas or something. No, they are not Havaianas because my pair was in the laboratory, it was my bathroom slippers. The Boyfriend burst out laughing when he saw me so I knew I looked stupid. 

My plan was to go downtown and grab a pair of sandals before heading to dinner.  That shopping experience was the fastest I have ever done and will ever do. I got new sandals in under 5 minutes. Whew!

What do you think of the dress and the shoes? By the way The Boyfriend picked the shoes.

The Boyfriend and I luckily chanced on a thrift store that only opened a day. We got a skirt, dress and top for me and some pants for him in less than 15 minutes. It cost us W20,000 or P1,000. It was an amazing experience! 

Anyway, I will show you the pieces one at a time. First, I will show you a girl straight from Pleasantville.

I look like a 60’s housewife! Everyone is looking at me when I was wearing this. I guess because I was not wearing a typical outfit. I don’t know really. Anyway, I don’t care because I loved this outfit!

sumptuous meal

2009 March 16

I am the meat kind of girl. I take delight on heavy meaty meals. But once in a while when I am trying to lose some a lot of weight, I like to eat more salads and sandwiches. Here in Korea, there are not many restaurants that offer that kind of menu and usually the price range is steep. But I have to have my salad today! I am not a veggie girl so when I crave for greens, you better give me fresh greens or else. Teehee.

What I had for dinner:

I had green salad with a secret dressing, which was divine.

Then I had chicken breast with bacon and egg sandwich.

I think I had an orgasm when I  had a bite of this. Seriously.

I also had fries, which I shared with The Boyfriend.

This is a meal when I am on diet. Just imagine if I were not. LOL

I have a new ring that I love! I know I haven’t been spending wisely and I should. But hey, I’m just a girl who needs a little fun in her boring life. Spare me of the lectures because I’m still not a shopaholic and will never be. 

So, I give you my new ring.

I know my index finger is weird.

Do you like it? What do you think? 

I think The Boyfriend likes it because he plays with it whenever he holds my hand. *hearteyes*

Nina Ricci gone crazy

2009 March 9

Is Nina Ricci fucking me or what? I’m all for creativity and crazy shoe. Hell I even like Victoria’s heel-less boots for a second! Remember those?

But these shoes from Nina Ricci Fall 2009 collection is just crazy! It is not even pretty!

Isn’t it crazy? Some of them have heels yes, but they are hanging! The colors could have been great if the design was a bit better. Who do you picture wearing this atrocious shoe? I think onlydrag queens can pull this off! And that is a compliment.
