The recent rainy day spell has taken a break for the past two or three days. So I thought the pattern would continue today, a perfect excuse to wear my light gray shoes from Zara. After all, I've only worn them once , I think. They look like nubuck but they're not since I clean them with a detergent-based cleaner from Aldo. I'm also wearing a long-forgotten tee I picked up at Surplus Shop. The pink details are actually felt that I suppose were ironed over the fabric. I love the Surplus Shop at SM Makati since it's not as crowded as their other stores, and there are always a lot of good finds there. At least to me. The jeans are Topman. And by the way, the weather is still perfectly dry so far. Happy weekend!

It was time to say goodbye. After a last-minute mini-exploration around the island I had to get ready. For the journey back home, I opted for an ensemble that afforded me that nautical feel. So it had to be blue and white. Was supposed to wear blue and white espadrilles as well but we were expecting our feet to get wet while boarding the boat so never mind. I got the shirt from SM, and I actually wear it to the office ( see here ). I don't remember where I got the shorts from but I think Surplus Shop. The shorts aren't all white; it's got red, blue and white stripes on the sides as shown in the photo below, which are also present on the waistline (but I don't have a photo). Till my next vacation (which is about two weeks away - yay!)...

After two nights in Coron town, My Bibe and I spent another two nights at Club Paradise in Dimakya Island, which is still part of Northern Palawan. We checked in on Easter Sunday, and this was what I wore that day: It was stifling (as expected in the summer) so I wore this chest-baring shirt with a really low neckline from Topman. The sleeves are also cut shorter than usual. Got the shorts from Surplus Shop at SM and the straw hat from Bench. I don't own any expensive sunglasses and even if I do, I don't intend to wear them to the beach. Seawater can be very corrosive. So I found an alternative in these wayfarers from i2i for about 300 pesos. Not bad. And after an afternoon of soaking up the sun, I somehow got what I wanted: a darker, sun-licked complexion (if only temporarily). Oh, notice the really short shorts? Also from Folded & Hung. Tank top from Bench. And another oh, I almost forgot about dinner. Paired this collared pullover from Hermes with cheap short...
