All Tomatoed Out

This may be a bit behind but I wanted to share my outfit when I hosted @tomatoph's #swapkana event in Glorietta 2 just a few weeks back. I was pretty stoked when they said I get to style myself and pick whatever I wanted in the store. So I chose this dress and if the print wasn't enough, I piled on 2 necklaces and this studded belt. It all seemed to go perfectly with the watch and my heels. What do you think?

I still have a bunch of photos from the event that I have to sort through. Will post more pics soon. ;)

At BU5

Though this day was pretty hectic, I managed to sneak some time to shoot this. It helps to be in a room full of bloggers. Lissa was nowhere in sight but good thing I spotted David Guison to take my outfit shots at last week's Bloggers United 5. Thank you, David!

Check out the awesome print on these MEXX pants...

I saw them in the store and I just had to have them. It was also quite perfect to wear them on this day 'cause I knew there would be a lot of walking, lifting, and moving around as I learned from Bloggers United 4.

I also wanted to give the outfit a little bit more pop of color rather than going for the usual black heels. So I opted to go for these Vero Cuoio sling backs and this Abby Jocson shoulder bag.

It might be the Swede in me, but I really love blue with yellow. It can sometimes look a little childish or too 'summer-y' but these two shades were just right.

I've actually been wanting to sport this baby for quite a while now. It's great 'cause the size allows me to fit just about everything I lug along with me everyday - and that's saying a lot! haha!

You've probably seen these shades before but I usually just keep about 8-10 pairs scattered in my car so I can just grab one and go.

I've found that it works for me. Maybe 8-10 would be too much for you so try 2-3 first. It's a quick change you can do in the car at any time.

To everyone who dropped by my booth at BU5: Thank you! I love you guys. You were all very sweet and I look forward to seeing you again at the next one. ;)

Picnic Polkas

On another day full of errands, I found some time to drop by a friend's place for a quick swim and a picnic.

So this Mumi overnight bag was the perfect size to carry all my stuff (swimmies, wallet, camera etc.).

With a bag as bright & loud as this one, it can be quite difficult to match an outfit that won't clash but compliment it.

I figured this white top & blue plants would be the perfect combo to really make the bag the main accent of the entire look.

Granted, the studs on the collar give it a little more personality.

But notice how the red pops out with the top & jeans as its background.

They also come in a bunch of other colors. Thank you, Mumi, for sending this over.

Check out my other Mumi bag here.
