Time flies so fast! Attending the 2^nd Strategic Planning became imperceptible. Seriously, I didn’t feel that I have been working there for year now.

I believe that I have worn this cover up and dress a dozen of times already. This LBD is my savior when an affair comes up (nothing beats an LBD), and the cover up is something I use when I need something playful in my outfit. You know me, when I see animal print, I get it. LOL!

Back to the outfit, I just pulled this look from my closet because I woke up LATE. REALLY LATE! I was literally running inside our house and rummaging my closet to find an outfit that will work. Well did it? I hope so.

Noticed my blue flats? I need a striking color just to kill the black and white monotony. Before I forget, the 15 Minutes Title means the preparation time before I jogged outside to hail a cab. I was surprised myself that I managed to finish under 15 minutes— anyway, that doesn’t include the shower time. ;)

So, what is your rush hour story? :)

Aside from bags, I have this strong voracity for watches. I can never leave home without wearing a watch. If I’m not wearing a watch, I feel naked and vulnerable like my life will fall apart in any second. Yes, I can be a very soppy person at times. LOL! Apart from watches, I’m also hooked with Karl Lagerfeld’s creations and his renowned profile. If you’re a follower my blog (I hope so!), then you’ve already seen the Karl shirt that I bought months ago. I was ecstatic when I found one as Karl items are hard to find in the Philippines; unless you ask someone to create the items for you.

I have mentioned in my previous post that I was looking forward to the Karl Lagerfeld watches that will be released this 2013. I almost forgot about it, no, not really. I was actually trying to forget it as my budget is not fit for the watch. To my surprise, I’ve found them through the ads in Rumi Neely’s blog: Fashiontoast.com and found a watch nirvana in the form of Karl watches.

These are just some of my favorites from the collection. Then again, I literally want every single one of them. No kidding. It was the first time I wanted an entire watch collection for myself. Dapper Karl profile on my wrist is just marvelous, yes?

Sunday is Aquino family’s bonding day—a must to visit Lola’s house to catch up with the family after the mass. This was an outfit shot from two (or three) weeks ago. I know, I know. Backlog! Have you noticed that I was wearing long sleeves? It’s because we had a blustery Sunday afternoon. Now, we’re back to the scorching days. Not actually baking yet, but you’ll definitely sweat. (Does that sound gross? I hope not!) Oh I wish the cold weather didn’t end right away. I miss my cold morning travel to work.

I still have my favorite black and white skulls in this post. Want to know where did the skulls go? Quick story: I sold the skull bracelet when a lady saw me wearing them on my way home. She asked where I got them, and I told her I’m selling accessories online. She said she’ll get the one I was wearing. Fast transaction, right then and there! I was surprised that it only took about 2 minutes—lightning fast transaction.

Speaking of accessories, Quintessential Shop Manila just released a new collection. If you are into earcuffs, then you’ll love them. I was searching for earcuffs for the longest time now, so I was glad to find some of them. Here’s a sneak peek of the earcuffs available.
