Spotlight on Jamie: floral

Off Duty

Thank God for the chilly days here in the Philippines! I get giddy every time the rainy days here in our country is coming because its the only time when you can put up your cozy sweaters and layer clothes. But if you're always in an air-conditioned environment, lucky you! That doesn't apply to you.

Well, thanks to Nick Pahati too for allowing me to bother him for a very quick photo shoot last week when I visited Naga for some errands. This was shot at a park in Naga that I don't know the name of. There was a mini skate park and swings that I enjoyed. Some photos actually looked like I'm in Baguio for some reasons. Mehe~

I always adore it when Nick takes my photos because he uses wide-angled lens in his shoots. I'm also dreaming to buy one because it makes my legs look longer *hihi* and I think the photos it captures are really interesting, like the photo above!

The day decided to bring up the clouds and have the temperature lower than the usual here in the Philippines. So I decided to wear something cozy and comfy.

I've had this rad digi-print sweatshirt from Romwe months ago, and I've finally had a chance to wear it! The bag I'm wearing in this outfit is from Romwe too.

Decided to keep my accessorizing simple. I'm wearing my super stylish EmiJay Hairtie from House of K/Girlfriends Shop too! (Sorry if it's not decently shown in the photo. I'll post more of this on my IG!) Have you always had an experience of losing every single hairtie you have by misplacing it? Well, you can just wear it on your wrist to keep it from disappearing, right? But that doesn't really look that stylish. Well, worry no more because EmiJay hairties are here! Say bye-bye to your ugly hairties and say hello to this snazzy EmiJay Hairtie you can wear anytime, anywhere! You can order your at House of K! Only for P90/set (5pcs)!

Hope you're having a snug cuddle weather out there too! ♡

Hey, BTW! I'll be in the SM Youth loves A-Fash event this coming September 19! Hang out with us and be part of our fashion consultation as we feature the latest shirts of Tee Culture! The SM Youth Bus will be at the SM City Naga from September 12 until September 21. See more details here. Don't forget to drop by if you're in town!

Sweet Disposition

♫ Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap ♫

An avid-reader friend of mine recently told me that she already misses the girly kawaii me. If you're an old reader of Spotlight on Jamie, you would know that I used to wear a lot of pinks, skirts, bows, and all that girly stuff. However, after some mood changes and a little bit of ageing, my style shifted to shades of red and black and edgy stuff.

But don't get me wrong. I still love kawaii stuff, and you would notice that I'd still put a hint of cuteness on my outfits, like kawaii socks and accessories.

So recently, I've decided to wear something girly because honestly, I'm missing it too! And I've got loads of kawaii stuff in my closet just waiting for me to get worn!

I built my outfit with this kawaii slouchy beanie from The Green Tea Enthusiast Shop that I've been obsessing with for weeks now. The GT-E Shop is run by a 17 year-old tea lover from Manila and a Tumblr blogger, Ida Siasoco. All products sold in the shop are crocheted accessories 100% handmade-with-love by Ida!

I got this beanie customized by Ida. I personally picked the design and yarn color (this one's in Artist Print) to be used with my beanie. You can have it with bows or pompoms, but I sticked with a classic type slouchie. Other than beanies, they also sell bows, scarves and cozyheads. Can't find the right design/color for you in their product list? Don't worry! You can order a custom design product by just sending a photo or description you want and have a crochet accessory no one else has!

I super love the color of the beanie because you can easily match it with lots of color that's in it! With this outfit, I chose shades of magenta.

Matched my floral top with floral socks too! Got this floral see-through socks from Japan at Copo socks store. And of course, it should be paired with a kawaii platform sneakers!

So what do you think? Should I wear more kawaii outfits more often? Let me know your thoughts on the comment box below! ♡

WHAT I WORE

When I Met You In The Summer

Let's all take a long, deep breathe for this majestic photo taken by the "astig," Nick Pahati. loljk =))

*sigh* When I first saw this picture, I nearly cried! Hahaha. Can't believe this photo was just taken in my hometown, my favorite Bagasbas beach, to be exact! So breathtaking..

I mean, look at that awesome reflection~!!! *eyes sparkle*

This is what I wore on the first day of our Date in Daet 2014. Have you seen my post about that already? You better do if you want to know more about this beautiful place that I'm in!

Top: DIY | Floral shorts: Forever 21 | Boots: Thrifted

I know that the first day of our Date in Daet would be an adventure. Hopping from one place to another. So I opted to wear something comfortable for me! I know, I know.. You guys would think that this outfit isn't comfortable enough, but to tell you honestly, it actually is! Not comfortable with wearing short shorts? Maybe you can pull it off with a pair of tights! Just pick a thinner one to beat the heat. Wearing tights is much comfier than wearing pants. :)

And for an adventure, a pair of combat boots would be really handy! It just looks uncomfortable and heavy, but it's not! And yes, wearing this pair paid off. Felt totally ready for our Pineapple Picking! Hihi. Imagine those thorny pineapple plants! lol

Wasn't able to neatly finish my DIY midriff top! Sorry. Hihi. Do you want me to post a DIY tutorial of how to transform your normal tee to a midriff top? Comment if you want! ;)

Summer all over my shorts~ Got this at Forever 21 in Japan in a much cheaper price! (Gosh, Forever 21 in Japan is really cheaper than in the Ph!)

For summer adventure days, like a Date in Daet with blogger friends, you can actually wear anything you want, as long as you're comfortable with it! You must also check your itinerary first to match your outfit with the adventures you're going to do. And of course, it's summer time! Don't forget to wear your florals or even just a hint of summer bright colors for a picture-perfect adventure! ;)
