👒 Do Not Disturb 👒

Who’s excited for the long holidays? 🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️ Christian or not, this long weekend is an excellent opportunity for us to escape from our daily routine and hopefully have a meaningful break. Since it’s summer, most people flock to the beach resorts to get that much needed undisturbed R&R. And for those doing so, here’s a summer accessory from Gamiss that not only gives you a chic ‘gram but also a stylish way to create a barrier between you and the rest of the world. 👒👒👒

Wide Brim Ribbon Sequins Letter Straw Hat

And as for this skirt, you'll see more of this here soon. Here's the product from Gamiss too!

Striped Off the Shoulder Tulle

Straw

It’s officially the end of summer in the US and that means a wardrobe transition for my favorite bloggers in New York. While I can only be too happy seeing them in their layering pieces (hello coats and boots!), I will still miss seeing inspo for some summer accessories that let’s admit it are still applicable over here at the south east side of the globe. :D Yes, I’m all about more mileage of things. :P

So for this particular post, I’m going to feature this topper that made it big in the last season – straw hats. A quick look at how I styled them in the past revealed one common factor – they look good paired with off-shoulder tops. Oh, did I just bring up the off-shoulder silhouette again? Hahaha. It's as if I haven't talked about here, here and here. :P Let’s see, how it will play out in the chill season. For now, enjoy my compilation below.

During the Cebu trip, to get more wears of the hat and of course to avoid stuffing it in the luggage, it's a must that it should already be part of the departure OOTDs. :P And since I didn't have a chance to blog about our pre-flight dinings, I'm posting it here instead. Hehe. This one's below taken at La Vie Parisienne, one of the beautiful French restaus here at Makati.

Going back to Manila, we included in our itinerary to check out this restau in Cebu City called Circa 1900 - it used to be an ancestral house that is again, worth checking when in Cebu. :)

Wide Brim

Repeat after me, I need a wide-brimmed hat this summer. Lol! Once again apologies for the utter lack of posts lately but as you can see below, the weekend was well-spent somewhere up North doing teambuilding activities with my Retropop instructors family. :)

I hope that from the pics below I’ll be able to convince you that a wide-brimmed hat is the chicest accessory you could ever have on your summer getaways. It doesn’t hurt that it doubles up as an extra protection from the sun too. ;-)
