Style Satyr

Hola! Ok, I'm not going to get into the whole apologizing thing but let's just say I'm spending my summer sulking and just enjoying the couch here in my house which is probably the reason why I lack posts. But we did go to Bacolod awhile back and here's what I wore. 

What I like about this outfit is how the floral bottom balances the edginess of the upper half of my outfit. And if you're wondering that is also the reason behind my title. Well, I don't know how I compared my outfit with a satyr, since a satyr is a half goat and a half human, but I guess I'm just obsessed with greek mythology that I'll find any way to talk about it (wink face).

I accessorized combining gold and silver pieces and sticked to black with my bag and shoes.

This is the outfit I wore when we flew back to Manila so I thought a blazer would be great for warmth while flying. On the otherhand, this outfit would still work with the blazer off.

Upon arriving in Manila we immediately went to MOA and luckily we were a little early so we managed some outfit shots in the aisle thing :)

Top: Baclaran | Leggings: Chic Label | Shoes: Supra Fame | Bag: Thrifted

Seeing these photos made me miss my long hair, oh yes I haven't shown you my new hair yet but you can check it out on my youtube channel, just in case you want to see it. 

Have a nice day!

Is it a DOG or a HORSE?

I'm back! Well, just for now. I'm on a study break and I thought I should do this post now because I might not squeeze this in for next week because of my crazy schedule. There's a lot of pre-final examinations and just schoolwork in general. So sorry if I lack posts this week and will lack posts for next week. 

This is again a very casual outfit that I wore on a family day out. And usually the day was spent on shopping and eating. We actually went to Baclaran and it was pretty amazing to shop there. Everything is so cheap. But on the down side, you have to buy it as wholesale or what we call here in the Philippines as "pakyawan". I did a haul on what I bought at Baclaran so if you want to see that just click here.

Back on the outfit, I was very sure that I will shorts that day beacuse it was so hot out, but I have this one rule that when I show skin in the bottom half of my body, then, I have to cover up in the other half. But once again it was very hot out so I went with a long sleeve sheer top. It covers my skin but it's not too heavy that I'll die because of heat. 

As you can see I kind of went with a color scheme of red, blue and black and I thought the colors work well together. This outfit is preppy and at the same time edgy and I thought that it's very interesting to mix those two style together. It reminds me of something Blair Waldorf would wear when she's a rebel LOL.

Can anybody tell me what's in the print of my shirt, Is it a DOG or a HORSE? I have been very curious about it and I can't seem to decide what it is LOL.

Skull and Cross Bracelets: Divisoria

Shoes: Thrifted

I am very upset about the fact that I can post here as much as I want to because of my schedule. It's just really been so hard regarding schoolwork since I have to step up my game and I can't do that If my time is going to be divided so I hope you'd understand. 

Anyway, to make it up to you, I do make videos more because it's easier to make it and I thought I'd share some here:)

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.

Christmas Hangover

I'll give my self a pat in the back for keeping up with my schedule, oh yeah *pat *pat!

I'm still on the verge of getting over the holiday season, hence my title. I still want those bright and flashing lights and lanterns at night. I miss the ambiance where in everywhere I look and go seems like everyone is singing with happiness. *sigh I guess I'll have to wait for another 12 months, oh well!

Anyway, I actually miss the holiday season because of this outfit that I'm about to explain . And it's because this is what I wore last Christmas. It was a very busy day for our family because it's also the birthday of my little brother. There were a lot of people to accomodate and plenty of kids to entertain. And what's a kids party without parlor games right? So every year it was kind of our job to prepare a bunch of parlor games to keep the kids  amused but it seems like parlor games are more enjotyable for the adults. And of course we always stick to the classics. There is the Stop dance, Pahabaan ng gamit, Trip to jerusalem, Paper dance, and the infamous Pinoy Henyo. With that being said, dressing up is really not an option. You don't want to be having your dress ruined by cute but filthy rascals do you?

If I can't dress up might as well dress comfortably but still pretty. And when I hear comfort I immediately go for my trusty ol' jeans. I paired it with a pullover and for now I only have one which is gray. I took a hint from that two pieces and from there I went monochromatic.  

It seems like this kind of picture is all over the blogging world and I thought I might as well join the bandwagon

To make my outfit more interesting I added my peter pan collar necklace. I added minimal accessories because of the activity that was lined up for that day. And I think having a small amount of accessories in this outfit gave it a more laid back and polished look at once.

Skull and Cross Bracelet: Divisoria

Top: Thrifted | Jeans: Thrifted | Loafers: Suprafame

I love how my outfit is far from everybody else. Majority has pretty dresses and sky high heels and I love that I'm different, it makes me feel special :) 

Baka naman ako lang talaga ang tinamad magayos. LOL

I wish I have the scenery of the province but the accessibilty of the city, that would be the perfect combination. This was taken from a place at our original house and I really want a backyard like this so bad. But unfortunately I can't. This is the time where I doubt the saying Anything is Possible. Can I plant flowers and trees and grow a whole garden here in the city? No I can't. But I do believe that Everything has  a purpose so maybe there's a reason behind this LOL. 

What do you think about my outfit?

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!
