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.

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.

Marshall, your apartment is crooked!

Last Saturday, my brother and I decided to watch the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. It's what everybody has been talking about in our class the day the movie was screened so they have been giving away the best parts and I just didn't take it anymore so we watched it on the second day of showing. I must say, it's great movie, epic ending and amazing plot.   

Before we talk about the outfit, let me explain to you my title first. Seeing the first picture below? Did you notice something regarding the floor? Yes, the parking floor is crooked! Haha, this reminds me about one particular episode in the How I Met Your Mother Series, hence, the title. I really adore that show. But honestly, their latest season is a little disappointing. I was expecting more out of it because  it's their season finale. Well,  I'm not sure of it so don't quote me on that. Some HIMYM fans out there might hate on me LOL. It's just such a bummer. Nonetheless, I am still a fan and I still want to find out who The Mother is.  If you're an avid fan of HIMYM like me, let me know what you think of the first seven episodes of season eight?  

Moving on, this outfit is an example of a subtle mixing of prints, exhibited by  my top and skirt. I think this is a more classic take on the print on print trend. To jazz it up a little bit, I used my gold kinda oxford shoes. These shoes reminds me of something Camille Co would wear, don't you think so too? 

Top: Thrifted | Skirt: Thrifted

My hair looks so healthy here, I wish it's always like this. 

Bag: Divisoria

Necklace: Accessorize

Accessories-wise, I think I always stick to the line Less is More. I'm not saying I'm against accessorizing or for some excessorizing, actually, I adore accessories. Its just that, on days like this, it's just better to keep it simple. And when the need arises, I'll put my accessories on, and bring it! LOL

Oxford shoes: Trunkshow (Divisoria)

And it's a wrap! This outfit is probably one of my favorite.  It's comfortable and classy, just the way I like it. 

P.S. I just did a haul video on my youtube channel, check it out if you want to :)

Daddy's Little Girl

Holy Macaroni! Reality is coming to eat me again.  The most dreaded time for students is here. The start of the 2nd semester, spooky!

I know what you're thinking right now, doesn't she have a class? Well as a matter of fact I have a class later, I'm just trying to maximize my vacant time as early as now for blogging because on busy days I might not be able to squeeze it in. 

Moving on, as I have mentioned in my previous post, my Dad's birthday was last week and we celebrated it in his work place. I want to dress up appropriately but still having fun so here's what I came up with.

I stocked up some blazers waiting to use it when it gets cold here in the Philippines, and no, it's not cold enough for me to wear a blazer but I just can't wait anymore so I decided to just wear them nonetheless. I always adored the dress-blazer combo and I was urged to try it that day. I accessorized with fun and girly colors to avoid the too-serious look brought by the blazer. 

Necklace: Divisoria

I really into floral prints right now, the concentrated ones are one of my favorites

Love the details on the buttons 

Blazer: Thrifted | Dress: Thrifted | Belt: Thifted | Bag: Thrifted

For the past few months, I am using broadband, computer shops, and even the internet section offered by my university to connect to the internet to blog. But then just yesterday we finally got our connection arranged, so yehey!!! Finally, my problems with regards to blogging is now coming down to one thing, school work, and that good enough for me. 

But then again, I am trying to focus on my studies this sem, and now it's for real. So I can only do my businesses in the internet when I really have a leisure.

A Gaze at the Past

I mentioned a few times in my previous posts the incoming program/activities for the foundation month of my alma mater. Traditionally, a parade will took place to open a five or four day event. And as a sister that I am, I attended it to support my brother for he is a part of the drum and lyre team of the school. I was photographing every part of the day and it goes just the way I remembered it. And remember how I said someday I'm going to let go of my high school days? well, this day is not gonna be that day because I'm going to dedicate this post to it. Let's take a break from  the fashion world for awhile and come with me and lets take a gaze from my past (Who'd be interested in it right? well maybe through these you'll remember your past and might help you be cheered up from all your stress, or if not, Pagbiyan nalang ako LOL).

I made a list of the things I miss the most from my high school days and maybe you could do the same and share it with me in the comments, I would love to read all of it.

1. Programs and Activities

One of the thing IJMS is known for are its programs held every month. There are different contests such as Mass demo in July as the Nutrition month, Math Jingle and interpretative dance in September as the Math and Science month, Foundation dance in October as the foundation month and the list goes on. 

These events contributed a lot in us. There are relationships formed and  friendships crumbled. Simple practicing creates bonding moments that can be treasured forever. I miss all these so much because in college, even if  there are also activities we could attend to, everything starts all over again and it is not the same as high school.

I snap a photo of this because Faith was my section when I was a 1st year student, which is by the way my second name.

2. Organizations and Clubs

CAT officers of Infant Jesus Montessori School , S.Y. 2012-2013

I'm not bragging but, I'm in a lot of orgs and clubs back then and I learned a lot being in them. I learned how to lead( Atleast I think I do LOL), I learned to mingle and to work with people, and I also learned to commit to something and work hard to achieve a goal. I must say that experience really is the best teacher.

3. My beloved teachers

Two advisers of the four year classes and a fourth year student

Who doesn't love their teacher, right? Well maybe some of you don't but I sure do. They helped me so much and contributed in who I am today. They are my friend, adviser, and guide. 

4. Relationships

No comment

Take the next thing that I'll say  positively :) Back then in high school, there are a lot of relationships; friendships, boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, etc. In the  girlfriend-boyfriend relationship, I always have been the third wheel and it might be weird but I long for the scene when all the girlfriends and boyfriends meet at breaks and lunch breaks to be with each other LOL

5. Friends

Me and one of my best friends

(L-R Me, Pia, Mei, Glydelyne, Mitzy, Loren, Chel, Alyssa, Rizza)

Yes, I made some friends in college but the connection I have with my high school friends cannot be replaced so easily. We've been together in ups and downs, we have been through break ups but still, we stand as one( And drama lang haha).

Let me stop there for it's getting a little depressing LOL. But there is one thing that is not going to stop, it is me rambling about my alma matter and my past.

About my outfit, I decided to just be simple since I would be photographing a parade, hence it's going to be hot. But why is she wearing a blazer you might ask? Well, I want to protect my skin from the sun and still looking so chic( Oh, the things a blazer could do, that's why I adore them so much).

What's your list of the things you miss from your high school days?
