Sniffles, Coughs and What-Nots.

I know I said I'd blog more frequently now and funny how yet again, I skip out on blogging for 2-ish weeks now. I've been busy...watching this Korean series called City Hunter plus mommy duties don't exactly make me that available. Having a 3 month old baby makes you quite the busy person. Anyways, here's a quick sum-up of my past days. Not too sure if I'll be game to do an actual outfit post soon since I'm sick right now. Fighting off the sniffles and coughs with baby medicine since the usual medicines are a big no-no for a nursing mom like me. Thankful for Instagram at moments like these, it makes it easier to capture, record and post my daily moments. If you haven't followed me yet, feel free to follow me, @velire on Instagram! ;)

Say hello to Lee Min Ho or aka the City Hunter. During feeding times, I'd watch this series and it just got so addictive. Haha!

 

Thrifted top and skirt | Sneakers from Centrepoint (can you believe I got these babies for practically 75% off!)

Dress from secret store | Cardigan borrowed from my mom | Sunglasses borrowed from my brother | Floral sneakers from F&F

Anyways, back to jugging down liters of water right now so that I can get back to being a mommy for my baby without letting him catch my flu. Hoping y'all having a better great start to your October!

Forever New

Armed with a charged camera, tripod and the cats for moral support, I successfully was able to shoot my outfit yesterday. Haha! When you have a 2 month (soon to be 3 months this 13th) baby boy and no one in the family who is tech-savvy or willing to take your pictures, it's hard to take photos for your ootd; but thankfully last night, when Eli feel asleep, I was able to take some photos. Mind you, not the best ones and I honestly preferably like taking photos outside but like last time, this shall suffice. Hehe.

I originally planned on wearing just the maxi dress but considering the fact that it would probably get a bit chilly where I'd go, I ended up wearing a cover-up thus this look. I personally think it gives off a hippie vibe (maybe cause of my crazy amount of long hair too.) All I need is a cute flower crown, a change of more au-natural accessories and I would have achieve a unique Pocahontas look. Haha! Well for yesterday I went for modern hippie.

 Outfit details: dress - Forever New || belt - Urban Behavior || tank top worn inside - thrift shop || necklaces - turqouise beaded necklace from Lulu Supermarket, chain with beads necklace from Accessories from Splash & white one a gift || rings- white ring worn on the right hand from Lushae Jewelry, silver ring a gift

As you all may know I'm not residing in the Philippines anymore ever since my pregnancy and one of the things I dearly miss are the blogger events (Bloggers United, fashion shows, etc.) Well just because I'm here doesn't mean I'm out of the loop (well not completely out of the loop) and for all the interested bloggers/fashionistas out there, here's an event you might be interested in going to.

Trishie of Your Fashion Architect is holding her first ever clothing line launch this September 20. If you are a lover of  anything and everything girly, soft, glittery then her line will most likely tickle your fantasy plus a regular blogger in the blogsphere, she's a wonderful lady with a sense of great style. Expect your favorite bloggers like Verniece Enciso, Dani Barretto, Bea Benedicto, and Jessa Ang to be around at this said event because they'll be judging the best dressed of the night awards. If I were back home, I probably wouldn't miss this! For more information and RSVP head over to Trishie's blog, Your Fashion Architect. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Awkward.

Hello lovelies! I am so happy that I can finally post up an outfit post. I practically had to beg my brother though to take my pictures and I didn't even use my camera since I had no idea I drained out the battery (I left it on since the last time I used it. Boo.) So this isn't exactly my usual standard outfit shot but hey nevertheless still an outfit post. Hehe. 

Anyways it took me a while to figure what to wear considering the fact I have a very minimal wardrobe at the moment. When I found out I was pregnant last December, I pretty much jumped on a plane back home and only had a small (really small) luggage to bring thus only bringing clothes I needed & could use. Not to forget, most of the "clothes" I did buy during my pregnancy are all maxi dresses. Well with the tummy flab finally gone, I wanted to dress up sexy but not too sexy thus this outfit. Now my skirt is actual a maxi skirt and with the heat nowadays, I didn't exactly feel like wearing something constricting or long. So what do you do with your maxi skirt? Fold it up tuck it in along the waist and ta-da! A nice short skirt. In my case, the skirt was fitted so when I folded it up it sorta look like a bandage skirt. Quick tip/idea for those bored with the current clothes in their closet.

You can barely see my earrings in this picture and I forgot to ask my brother to take a close-up of my necklaces. Boohoo! Lesson learnt! Haha.

Fifi decides to make a special appearance on my outfit shot and also my son's diapers. Haha! Oh the joys of having my brother take my photos.

As ecstatic as I am to finally be able to put up an outfit post, the highlight of my day (as always) is my son. He wore his first outfit today! Usually he goes out wearing a onesie and then pajama bottoms to keep his feet covered, well today after buying shorts a couple nights ago (because his dada "grand-daddy" wanted them for him) I decided to dress him up. The whole show: onesie, shorts, socks and shoes! Good thing my lil one was a trooper this morning. This is my lil guy's ootd. Haha! (Can you believe it but his onesie is sized for a 9 month old and his shorts are sized up for 6-12 months. He's only 2 1/2 months old and already wearing clothes meant for older babies! Thank you Lord for a healthy boy.)

To end my post, showing you my lil guy all smiles at the camera. He is like this every morning. No joke! Such a blessing to be a mom and to a kid who is as joyful as he is. Have a great weekend loves!
