Bye Bye Bras




Lips - Reign by Kylie Cosmetics
Sunglasses - Fendi, top - Lululemon, bag- Balenciaga, sandals- Ann Demeulemeester,  sunglasses - Fendi, boyfriend jeans - Abercrombie & Fitch



After seeing a friend from Manila yesterday, I realized that 95% of my outfits are technically no-bra looks. She mentioned that last week was the first time she's ever been bra-less, and that NYC was the perfect place to start since a lot of girls just choose to leave out that extra thick and painful layer especially in the summer. For this look I had a thin 4" tube top to simply cover a bit of my back since this top has a wide opening behind it. I'm a bit nervous about letting my babies fly out when I travel to the Philippines next week because people raise their eyebrows at the sight of boobs (even under your dark top), but a part of me has changed ever since moving to America. I refuse to care about people's opinions when my husband or the rest of my family doesn't even mind.

If you're reading this and you don't have giant jugs like me (ha!), I urge you to let your babies free more often- this strengthens your chest muscles since you're not relying on fake support and it's honestly empowering. If men aren't forced to cover up their nipples, why should we, when EVERYONE has them?!

Accidental Heatless Waves

Sprayed some of my favorite Oribe Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray on my hair today since I love the scent. I had to put my hair up in a bun since it was boiling out and a few hours later I had to undo the bun. 


Had to have my photo taken since my hair finally got some volume thanks to the spray + bun combo! Lasted til night without any other product. 

Officially saving up for a Leica because these photos from Lissa's cam are so creamy and dreamy without any filter... Mmmm...

Meanwhile I forgot my cameras so here are some iPhone photos from Top of the Rock

Ann Demeulemeester lace-up leather sandals 

Finally bit the bullet and got the first-ever shoes I fell in love with when I started reading blogs back in 2009. Even in the summer they are extremely comfortable to walk in once you've broken them in. Took about 11,000 steps in these today and I survived! 



Fendi Eyeshine sunglasses in Ruthenium

I am a fiend for mirrored sunnies. Kryz and Lissa may have persuaded me into getting these while accompanying them in SoHo.

I'm glad that I found one good black dress this summer. Got tired of all the light colors I've had to wear. Also a plus that it came in this season's overplayed off-shoulder cut. 

The most expensive/tallest luxury condo in the city is almost done ! It's actually posing as an eyesore to some. 

Still wondering on how she never breaks a sweat during the summer [BallerinaMime



Just a few more winks til our trip to the Philippines! I had my second dress fitting today at the Monique Lhuillier shop and I am starting to get excited about the reception. I'm honestly liking my stress-free approach about everything. Sorry to my mum, sister and my coordinator for having to carry the burden! Up until now the only thing I've had to stress about was my dress, invite (website), having to approve the decor and signing contracts. I can't relate to any wedding prep shows and dress shopping craziness since mine was extremely... easy. I'm just hoping for a decent get-together. A part of me feels like I haven't done anything to prepare for the reception and I'm scared it'll be a disaster!!!
