La dolce vita

(I was suppose to post this for Nicole's Birthday but internet connection failed me )

So Nicole came back for a short while from Sing Sing land and we took the opportunity to celebrate her birthday at Bellini's, Cubao Expo.

It wasn't our usual since its so far but the ambiance and food made up for the travel! And we are such sappy ones really been wanting to try it out since One More Chance had Popoy and Basha dating there. 

The murals held our interest for the whole duration of of our stay...  Seriously trying to name each character shown haha

Check it out: Araneta coliseum right there haha

Our group with Mr. Bellini !

freeing

It seems it lingers and I cannot escape this feeling so this is yet another continuation of my previous post and outfit. I did tell you that I have always been fascinated by gypsies in stories (see my entry here) of their brews and spells and dangerous allure that entangles you. Their bellowing skirts and jewels from scrap made unique and their own. But more so of their spirit, always fleeting, fleeing, freeing. So with that I again leave you guys with a quote.

Penshoppe-d

I was giddy with delight when I received this text from Reg inviting me to come with at Penshoppe's Store Opening at SM-North Edsa. Fashion Bloggers united to celebrate with them armed with a 3,000 worth gift card valid for the day. Who can resist? I have been in and out of Penshoppe during the summer months as we did the Ayala Mall Style Origins Fashion Show and loved their merchandise.  I was super excited I actually drove myself all the way up North (which I never do given the distance). 

 Scouring the girls section, I was glad to see knits in creams, lilac and green, girly and flirty silhouette on their dresses, shirts with cute phrases, polos in plaids and floral prints and awesome pants! Loved their flats too which I scored and wore home! Super comfy!

made me remember of our photographer friend Mau Aguasin
this is her line!!!

Denims Galore surely bringing sexy baaaack 

got the red one right there!

Loving the Menswear section of Penshoppe!!! Echoing their recent endorser Ed Westwick's fashion sense, they have sharp and cotton blazers, those sexy man shorts and the checkered slip ons!

And for those manly men and boys next door they offer a wide range of greys, khakis and denim pants, shirts with graphic prints and witty sayings and the basic sneakers and slip ons in blue, gray, black and brown.

And as if the shopping spree wasn't enough they even gave away GCs from Penshoppe, The Spa and a new digital camera!!!

Next and last part of the day was the Blogger's Styling challenge wherein we needed to group ourselves into 3 and style a mannequin. No holds barred as to how many and which items we were to use to complete our look!  

ready, set, GO!!!
