Going Loca Over Aztec

It started last year that these aztec designs caught my attention. From a bandage skirt, bags, tops, shoes and accessories. I just can't stop adoring these things that has an aztec print on it. On my previous blog post, I even had the aztec skirt as one of my Christmas wishlist. Too bad I didn't have any of those things in my wishlist due to unsufficient funds! HaHa! Luckily, I got a job and now I'm rewarding myself with these aztec print shoes. Finally I got something that is aztec! I bought these shoes today from Solemate at SM department store in Bacolod City and it's for Php 399 for 2 pairs. Definitely worth it! I so love wearing Solemate shoes because they are affordable and comfortable. It's like I'm not wearing anything! It's also light and your feet won't get tired when you're wearing one of these!

Last night, I was fortunate to witness the Miss Dinagyang 2013 Pageant Night at our television! Haha..too bad I haven't got any tickets for the pageant night. At first I didn't know that there was a live telecast by the Sky cable channel. Luckily, I scanned through the channels and found the live telecast. The swimsuit competition had just ended and the long gown competition is about to start. After the long gown competition, they had the interview.

DIY Studded Shorts

Hi everyone! I just wanna share to you my DIY studded shorts that I'm so happy about. I became a fan of studs, ombre shorts and shorty shorts. I had a lot of unused jeans so I transformed it into shorts. Then I saw a page in Facebook that sells studded shorts. I couldn't afford one so I decided to make my own studded shorts. I just used my cutted shorts and bought some studs. :)
