Brick Wall

I'm back, for the nth time! I think we all know how this goes, I'll blog today and will be back after a month. I'll say sorry, then do it all over again. Well, can you blame me? Yes you can LOL.  And then I can blame my course(pharmacy) for being sooooo freaking ungenerous with time. 

Moving on! Last week, we celebrated my birthday, well it's a late celebration since my birthday was on July 29. Maybe I''ll talk about my actually happened on my birthday , but for now, let me tell you about what happened on the late celebration of my birthday with my family. We decided to vist the Our Lady of Manaoag to pray and give thanks for all the blessings that we are getting. 

Considering we're going to a sacred place, I opted to wear pants. Plus, I know I'll just be snoozing most of the time of travel since it's a four hour drive,  and I'm more comfortable with some pants on.

I paired my pant's with an equally decent top. I want to sport a very classy look so I went with this peterpan collar top. Then I added a bow to give it a youthful look.

I used a pair of loafers to continue with the classy vibe. And I also like how the print gives the outfit more oomph and character. 

To tie the look altogether, I used this turquoise bag that I absolutely love. Can you see that tassel over there? That's my favorite thing about it, besides it's color.

Then I just grabbed a bunch of bracelets that I think looks good with the outfit. And I came up with these three. I don't know why but I always gravitate towards the pearl bracelet whenever I go out.

Enjoy the long weekend for me because I would be spending my time studying for all the tests lined up for next week. But for now, I'll go out my friends and watch the "Sea of Monsters". Woot woot! 

Be yourself.

I think I forgot something! Oh yeah, I forgot to blog about my last outfit in Hongkong or to be specific in Macau. What's that they say, better late than never! Let me just go straight to what I wore. 

The most effortless thing to wear are dresses, and I'll 100% vouch for that. They are just so easy and they make you look like a lady. Especially dresses like this, don't you just love it's collar? It's so pretty and sweet. I would die for dresses like this, that's why i envy Jess from New Girl, that girl has a lot of cute dresses and I want them all!

Dress: Thrifted | Bag: Coach | Shoes: Suprafame

Oh!one more adorable thing about this dress is it's print, this dress can't get any better :) 

There's nothing more to say about this look, it is just plain adorable. 

But what's not adorable right now is the fact the we don't have any internet connection. It's been a week that we're disconnected from the virtual world and there are pros and cons. Cons, my blog and youtube channel are suffering. I can't post a single entry in any of them. Pros, I am more into my studies. And now that I think of it, it's kinda good that we got disconnected, God does move in mysterious ways. 

Have a good day!

Look who decided to blog, Me!

I know! I know! It's really been awhile since my last post in this blog, it's been two months to be exact. I won't do the apologizing routine that all bloggers do when they had an unannounced hiatus. Instead I would just say, it's a new day and it's time to start my blog running again. 

Before I'll go with my outfit I would like to update you on the things that I've been up to these past few months.  First of all, I've been quite committed to my Youtube Channel, TheThriftyHannako, and now I have 1,900+ subscribers/friends and I couldn't be more thankful and happy. And I guess that is also a minute reason why I haven't been blogging. But if you want more than 1 OOTD or if you want fashion  how tos then my channel is right for you ;) And the second thing would be me having my first internship as a pharmacy student. It's a one month internship which leaves me having only one month vacation. But so far I'm enjoying this internship and am learning a lotttt!

So now shall we go to my outfit? Yes we can! LOL

This is again one of my typical go-to outfits. I wore this when I went to church and knowing I'm going to a holy place and not a fashion event I decided to dress appropriately. And for me the most appropriate attire is composed of pants. This is just to avoid all those blinding and scary glares and stares from elders, they can be really scary sometimes. 

I have seen bracelets like this everywhere and I noticed that  it's one of the favorite pieces people use for their arm candy and I can't blame them because it's so freaking cute. I know these pieces ( those with cross figures) can be a little controversial sometimes but I'm a catholic myself and I'm not offended when someone wears something with a cross on it. 

I bought this bracelet along with two short necklaces in an online store I recently found. It's called Trinkets For Keeps and they sell dainty jewellry pieces which i've been also really liking. 

As usual I went with my favorite color hue, PASTELS. It's just so springy and me! And that's all it takes for me to dress up like a cotton candy. 

Blazer: Forever 21 | Pants and Top: ChicLabel | Necklace: Accessorize

I've been thinking about posting my videos here in this blog but I'm not a 100% sure if you'll be ok with that so I would ask you a favor to comment on what you think about this idea.I would like to thank all of you for the continued support, I now have 100 followers/friends that's is just amazing! 
Have a nice day
Be yourself!

Walking Iceream

At last, I got rid of all my backlog posts for the year 2012. So, may I present to you my first ever outfit for 2013. Wohooo!

When my family and I arrived here in Manila from the province, we decided to dedicate a whole day to enjoy the presence of each other becasue once again classes will start and my family needs to go back to the province and obviously we are going to be left behind:(  So what's the best way to relax and bond? Of course, without a  doubt, go to the mall! As Robin Scherbatsky once sang, "let's go to the mall" LOL (If you're not a HIMYM viewer you probably won't understand what I'm talking about,so go watch it now JK). 

For my outfit I went overdrive with pastels. I went so crazy that I can now be addressed as the WALKING ICECREAM LOL. As you can see there are two colors that I mainly used, pastel pink and mint green and I'm super happy with the result because personally, I think the two colors look perfect together. 

I want to bring out the color of my undershirt so I went on and used a lot of greens for my accessories and to balance the outfit I topped it of with my glittery flats which look like a pastel pink so it works.

You may not notice, but this is not the first time that have blogged about my top, it's first appearance is in this post. I love that it kinda has a little peplum effect on the bottom part of it which makes the outfit more adorable.

Necklace: Divisoria

Bag: Michael Kors

Watch: Coach 

Top: Thrifted | Undershirt: Thrifted | Trousers: Forever 21 | Blazer: Forever21

Today is a great day. The sun is out and I just don't feel like doing anything so I'll just probably enjoy browsing all the social media sites and eating whatever we have in here LOL. I hope you also have  nice day :)

One more thing. It's the 1st year anniversary of my Youtube Channel(TheThriftyHannako) and I'm planning to do a Q&A video later. So, if you have some questions you an put it in the comments below or tweet me @hannakongohayon and I'll surely answer it in the video which I'll also post here once it's up.

Non Repetatur

I do not know where this rule came from, but apparently bloggers/celebrities or people in general can't wear the same clothes when it's already photographed, hence the title. Say whaaaat? 

Well I'll admit at first, I also didn't want to repeat the clothes I posted here on my blog. But reality hit me. A girl not can't have that much of clothes that she can have different items in her outfits for 365 days of the year, can she?  But on the other hand, a girl have clothes that can be mixed and matched to create outfits so she can fill each day of the year. See what I did there? 

Top: Thrifted | Skirt: Thrifted

Yes, I already used both of these items in an outfit post here and here. The reason why I can get away wearing these again is because they are categorized as basic pieces and repeating them is not actually a big deal. And that's why I adore basics so much. 
Well I can say that this pairing is my go-to outfit. It's an effortless look and also very comfortable.

Watch: Coach | Pearl bracelet: Thrifted | Braided Bracelet: Simone's Closet

Flats: People are People

Wow! My pictures are getting fewer each time I edit. Well that I can blame to me being so picky and also because of terrible lighting at night. Well, this is always our problem(me and my brother) when we take pictures at night. Besides from there is no decent light around, there is also no good backdrop to take pictures on. So that's the story why I only have three pictures for today.
Nonetheless, I hope you guys liked the outfit :) 

I'm really trying to keep up with the schedule I came up with and I apologize for the inconsistency of my blog. To make it out to you here's a video that I recently filmed :)

Happy Holidays everybody! One last post before Christmas.

I just want to share to you what I wore to the Bloggers United 4 last week. I was having a hard time coming up with an outfit since I was supposed to meet my idols and I want to look the part. 

I decided to go with this dress that I thrifted awile back. This piece is both classy and trendy and nothing can beat that combo, plus this color is so hot right now *I'm obsessed with it. I just threw on this blazer with irregular polka dots to add some character and of course I  added a  detachable peter pan collar necklace for that additional preppiness. I also decided to wear tights since I think this dress is a tad bit short for me and I don't want to be flashing anyone with my bum LOL.

My inspiration for this pairing is to be up to date with the trends but still having a little bit of me in there. Hence, the blazer and the peter pan collar necklace. 

Bracelet: Simone's Closet

Shoes: Primadonna

Dress: Thrifted | Blazer: Thrifted | Necklace: Divisoria 

And that concludes my last post for 2012 :) 

I know everyone is going to be busy this holiday, including me. My brother's birthday is coming up plus there's a lot of parties(Debut, Christmas Party, etc.) that I need to attend so I guess I'll talk to you probably next year LOL Haha. 

2012 has been a good year for me. It gave me a lot of new things: a blog, a youtube channel, new friends, new school, new life and now that its about to end I am hoping for a new hope and I wish 2013 will give me that.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

And let's be thankful it's not the end of the world only the end of 2012.

Bloggers United 4

ACK! It's time to share my first Bloggers United experience. 

This is very exciting for me since I have been waiting for that time to finally see my favorite filipino fashion bloggers and I'm so happy I finally met them in personal. I think I have been good this year that's why Santa gave me an early christmas gift :)

Let me just describe my feelings that day. So it was a Saturday and annoyingly, we have a class from 11am-3pm so I have to wait anxiously the whole period not even listening to a word my professor is saying, that's how excited I am. 

As soon as we were dismissed(My prof bare with me and dismissed us early), I squeaked and literally were so anxious to get home. We went to the World Trade Center as fast as we can. There's like this little aisle that we have to walk through to get to the Bloggers United area and I was shaking the whole time. I began to see familiar faces and I was like smiling and just wanted to pinch myself just to make sure I'm not dreaming LOL. We decided to spend a good half hour just to take picture with all the bloggers and collect ourselves from the shock that day brought. Anyway too much excitement here, I think I just have to let the pictures speak for themselves. 

Camille Co of Camille tries to Blog

Camille was actually late from work but then as soon as she arrived, she began to entertain all of her fans and took pictures and interacted with them. She was so sweet and very down to earth. Seeing her is definitely the perfect way to end the year 2012.

Laureen uy of Break My Style

Kryz Uy of Thirsty Thought

David Guison

Lissa Kahayon of Scene Stealer

I just have to take a picture with them together. They are so cute !

Patricia Prieto of Paradigma

I really like Patricia's style(Wow close! Kung maka-first name basis naman! LOL). We don't share the same style but I think she is the only blogger that has a really defined style and I adore her for that.  

Vern and Verniece Enciso of Verniece Enciso and A Shoetale

Ashley Dy of Candy Kawaii Lover

Ashley was actually a Japan-based fashion blogger and I'm not very sure but I think at every Bloggers United there is at least one foreign blogger to join the event. 

Kookie Buhain of Death by Platforms

Miss Kookie definitely has the best collection of statement shoes :) I actually bought my only purchase from her. 

Dani Baretto of Style is Eternal

Bjorn Bedayo

I love that our outfits look so cohesive :) He is a very talented blogger and I love his very preppy style. 

Tracy Ayson 

Nicole Santos

Alyssa Lapid

And look who's there to shop! Jeron Teng, a player from the other side LOL

Can you guess which of these two shoes I ended up buying? 

And that's my BU4 experience. At the end it's not about the idea of shopping clothes from bloggers but seeing them in their human form. Wow, that came out wrong. What I'm trying to say is, when I look at their blogs and read their entries I have the feeling that I can't reach them but after this day, I now knew that they are normal people who just loves doing what they do.

P.S. More on my outfit in my next post!
