Getting Ready for Summer (Topshop & ASOS Haul)

My most recent purchases will show how ready and excited I am for summer! Everything I’ve bought has been from the Petite category of Asos and Topshop and I don’t know why I haven’t been buying from that category because the fit is just perfect on me. Regular sized items usually fit me well and the only issues I have are with the length of jeans, hence my old username idreamofperfectjeans. I wish all stores would be more considerate to us vertically challenged humans and have a Petite Section. Shall we start a petite-tion? lol! 

Story behind this beautiful Asos Dropwaist Floral Dress was that I have been eyeing this piece since I saw Zoella wearing it in another colour. I waited awhile before purchasing it as it was quite expensive and when I decided I really wanted it, it was gone BUT they had it in another colour. I kept going back to the site for about a month deciding whether I should get it and when I checked a few weeks back it was 50% off and without thinking twice, I clicked away ’til I got my invoice from ASOS! Good things come to those who wait lol! So proud of myself for waiting and I think i deserve, not a pat on the back, but another dress…kidding! Unfortunately, it’s back to its original price but it is a lovely dress with good quality material. Discounted or not, you will not regret getting this!

This Topshop Slip dress comes in so many colours and even in printed ones. It reminds me of the scene in Clueless where Cher had a white Calvin Klein dress on and her dad said it looked like underwear lol. This dress is so easy to wear. Fuss free, Would look great with layering too.

Breton Cropped Top from Topshop. Also comes in Red.

Topshop Leigh Jeans

Topshop Highlighter in Sunbeam and cream blush in Head Over Heels (both sold out on the website). My photo doesn’t do justice to how great the colours are of these two products. I’ve owned a Sunbeam highlighter before and it just gives you a glowing fresh look. I reckon it would look even better on tanned skin.

Round framed Sunglasses from ASOS. I got them in both black and white. The white ones are also sold out though 

Lazzzy Monday

I spent the entire weekend catching up with friends and now I need to catch up on some sleep. I was feeling a bit lazy today but I had to help my boyfriend do some clothes shopping for his conference. He tried on so much clothes and I was running around the store getting him sizes so thank goodness I had comfy shoes on. Here's what I wore today:

Denim Jacket -Dotti

Tank top, Beanie, Jeans - Glassons

Astrix Boots - Topshop

Bag - Jeffrey Campbell

Tweed and Traipsing in the Park

The sun has finally decided to come out of hiding after weeks of yucky rainfall…and hail! On good winter days like these, I just want to enjoy the weather and stay outdoors until the sun sets. It gets pretty depressing being cooped up in an apartment where all I see is the facade of adjacent buildings and no natural light coming in. Also, I’ve recently been reading up about fashion during the 1940′s and so for today, I have put together an outfit that is just a wee bit reminiscent of that decade. Lots of browns and red or coral lips were worn by the ladies during that time.

Hope you’ve all had a lovely day! xx

Manila Haul!

We don’t really have a variety of clothing brands here in Auckland, so every time I come home to Manila, I sort of go crazy…well, okay I begin to spaz at the mere sight of a mall and then go totally crazy and shop until I’ve literally entered the shops twice in one day to make sure I haven’t missed out on anything worth buying lol! Manila has become such a shopping haven already with so many clothing stores opening here and there. One that just recently opened when I was there was a Spanish brand called Suite Blanco at the SM Aura Mall and I loved all their stuff, plus the prices were pretty reasonable too. Everyone that loves a carefree urban chic outfit must go and check it out! I went to my usual stops, Topshop and Zara, and there was never a time that I left both stores empty handed. There is always something to buy in Topshop and Zara haha! I also went on a little splurge and treated myself to a neat pair of Celine sunglasses which I have been wanting for such a long time and my oh so fabulous mom got me a cute Kate Spade satchel which I adore so much! I can’t wait to share ootd posts again!

Gonna start saving up again now.

‘Til next time!

See ya! xx

Ripped Jeans and Chunky Boots

I was in my lovely homeland, the Philippines, and the weather was pretty warm but it was typhoon season there again. I decided to wear my chunky Spice Girls inspired lace-up boots which I got from Topshop. It’s perfect for winter here in Auckland and it was quite handy for walking the streets of Manila where rain pours like there’s no tomorrow. My ripped-knee Jamie jeans from Topshop are my current obsession, plus it gave my knees a breather in the warm weather there lol!
