OOTD: New York Chill Afternoon

Hey, hey! Another NYC outfit to show you besties. This is probably the last I'll be posting on the New York series. I know, you've had enough of me walking around this city in nothing fancy. I mean, I don't need to. Don't want to attract attention so let's keep it low key.

THE DETAILS

TOP : H&M Oversized Bisous Tee in Gray
BOTTOM : Uniqlo Relaxed Fit Shorts in Black
SHOES : Birkenstock Birko-flor in White
BAG : Coach East/West Pop-in Signature Brown/Black (it's a fave!)
CAP : New York City 1993 -- bought from a Thrift Shop

Since this trip is my second time in New York, the previous year I was right across this building, The Empire State. Now, I just love it because I get to picture is as my background, taken at the Rockefeller Center. Not just any background. it's Empire State and I'm in my Empire State of mind! LOL

Once I find my lost flash drive, might as well post my first trip here to share you my experience.

Thanks for dropping by!

Let me know what you think!

OOTD: New York Summer Chill Evening

So this is just a continuation of my New York trip. As you can notice, this is a little bit Filipino-ish outfit--at least to me.

It's what I usually wear when malling so I guess that makes it more like really me. Oh you know, just an easy outfit on a warm summer night.

THE DETAILS

TOP : H&M White Tank Top

BOTTOM : Uniqlo Navy Relaxed Cotton Linen Shorts

SHOES : Birkenstock Birko-flor in White

BAG : Coach East/West Pop-in Signature Brown/Black

Well, the ever crazy Times Square. Known for its lit Billboards and massive visitors from all over the world. I have been here twice and I can tell you guys, this city never REALLY sleeps at all. I still get overwhelmed with a bunch of people you come across with from this city. But hey, I consider that a good experience though.

Some of the stores near this area would normally close at 2:00AM. Imagine the long hours of shopping you got. Some closes at 11:00PM, some at 1:00AM. You have a lot of choices to go to, actually.

Given another opportunity and chance to visit this city, I still would. Who doesn't love Manhattan, right?

OOTD: New York Easy Summer Day

Statue of Liberty

Hey there, Bestie!

Finally posting my summer OOTD during my last trip in New York. Hope it suits your style.

I actually opted for a girly laid back, a little skin, and some gothic angst with this one.

THE DETAILS

TOP : Floral Sheer Top (Local Brand: Jukaykay)

BOTTOM : H&M Black Skater Skirt

SHOES : Keds Leather Black Triple Decker with Fishnet socks

BAG : Coach East/West Pop In Signature in Brown/Black

Manhattan Skyline

Ellis Island Museum

Even during summer, we all know that NYC can be a little bit unpredictable with the weather. You might notice that I have something clinging on my bag. A cardigan, actually. It just gets really chilly when it showers even for a bit.

Also, this has something to do with me disliking the cold weather--no joke. I'd like to believe that I'm actually born for the hot weather.

This may not be the best combination I wore but hey, I think I slayed the look. Just pair it up with a smile and you're good to go, right?

Thanks for dropping by though. Let me know what you think!

Hey there, Bestie! I know it's been a while but, I'm back! I just had a lot of things going on with my life lately. Anyway, here's a short review of the current Contact Lens that I am using lately. Actually, I have been a fan of this Sandalwood swatch since 2017 (See my past review in 2017).
