Whats in My Bag

Hey dolls/bellas! The title basically says it all, but anyways I've always wanted to do an entry like I just had no idea I was gonna do it. I originally wanted to take pictures of the items, but sadly I am bad in taking photos. My friends would probably attest to that too! hehe Anyways I decided to simply polyvore it! ONTO THE ENTRY!

BTW, some of the products on the photo aren't the actual thing, I couldn't find either the specific brand, item and etc. I'll definitely let you guys know though which ones!

BAG: Topshop Dracula Shopper Bag: I've actually had this bag, if I'm not mistaken 2 or 3 years? I forget! I have to say it definitely one of my favorites since it can fit most of my stuff in it. Especially for school! I've been using it since 4th year high school, and surprisingly it is still in good shape! I just love Topshop's line of shopper bag!

What you can find... my chocolate brown Juicy Couture(in another design) wallet, my nokia 5800, Purr by Katy Perry perfume, earphones(have no idea what the brand is and its different compared to the photo above), Lip Smackers in Kool-Aid Tropical Punch flavor, Viva Glam GaGa 2 lipglass, 21men sunglasses, a hairbrush, hand sanitizer, travel sized tissue, wet wipes, my pink notebook with castles and little fairies on it(different design compared to photo), and a ballpen! Basically I only carry what I need to get through a very long day in school, work, outing, lunch dates, dinners or whatever. I also refuse to use bag organizers since it always seems to get magically messed up in my bag. Random. Not as interesting no? What do you guys carry in your bag?

Different Summers Part. 1

My last entry was basically a bore, so I decided to blog again. Let's get to the fun part, I decided to do a two part entry. I'll be doing a must have & essentials for the summer. It may be ending soon and we'll all be packing our bags for school, but summer fashion for me will never go out of style since I live in a country where the heat is killer. Aside from when it rains, though it still gets hot. I've put together two lists/entries to show you guys, in my opinion were this summers greatest. Think of this like my past entries, another alternatives and a where to buy! Kind of like a magazine and style book. Chos! Though whenever I read Lauren Conrad: Style, it never fails to make me wanna write a style book and dress up. Basically, she's my peg for this. Well she's my peg for a lot of other things too! Here we go!

Summer Must-Haves

1. Denim Shorts- A definite must have for anyone! I believe this is the key piece to anyones wardrobe for the summer or actually any time of the year as long as the heat is present. More on this later!

2. Born This Way: Lady GaGa's 2nd Album

3. Viva Glam GaGa 2- Once again Lady GaGa has collaborated with Mac for their Viva Glam campaign. The lipstick/lipglass she designed for the Viva Glam collection is sooo nice! I love how she explained in her Good Morning America that she designed this color to match any man or woman's skin tone. So if you're gay, straight, bi, lesbian, transgender or whatever I suggest you get this! Perfect summer color! 

4. Tote bags- Ditch those satchels for a bit and go for canvas! More on this next entry!

5. Shoes- No to boots for now! Go for a pair of espadrilles or plimsolls! Very lightweight and comfortable for that afternoon stroll! 

Where to go: Topman, SM, Nothing but H20, Forever 21, Topshop

Tip: On a budget? Go to SM, I've seen a ton in different colors!

6. Basic Shirts- When it comes to basic I don't mean the shirt can be one solid color, it can also have a graphic design and etc. I prefer a slightly loose or larger size. It may seem like a boring piece and etc, but just like what Lauren Conrad said "it glues the outfit together." 

Where to go: Forever 21, Topman, Topshop, SM 

Tip: Deconstruct for a much more edgy look!

7. Sunglasses- Kind of self explanatory! Opt for different looking frames!

Where to go: Forever 21, Bazaars, Aldo

8. Hats- Doesn't need an explanation! I Opt for straw though!

Where to go: Rebel Gear @ Pop Culture, SM, Forever 21, Bazaar

9. Accessories- This summer I prefer bangles especially the stretch beads. Chunkier the better! I am totally in love with pouch necklaces too! I kind of hate bringing a wallet, so I put my cash in this sometimes!

Where to go: Forever 21, SM accessories, Accessorize, The beach

Tip:  Never look down on the people who sell beads and necklaces on the beach! I found really great pieces back then in Subic and never used them, but now Forever 21 has them for a whooping 305 pesos! I got mine for only 25. I've been using them like crazy! Mix and match is the key! Start hunting for great pieces!

Note: Some of the pieces in the picture above is to give you and idea on what I'm talking about. Not the exact pieces. 

Hopefully that didn't bore you, but I really hope that helped you in some way! Thats actually my goal for this blog is not only to post my outfits, talk about events etc, but I want to be able to help you readers to find an alternative to some pieces in fashion. Kind of like a guide too, but I know some may react, why I'm writing entries like this, it's irrelevant and who am i to share input, but it doesn't matter though since I enjoy writing these entries! Hopefully you guys pick up a thing or two!

Part. 2 coming next!
