Last week while searching for this sold out ASOS yellow brushstroke print skirt (which I regrettably didn’t get because I was procrastinating), I came across this teal midi pencil skirt which was quite interesting. At first glance I thought it was some kind of aztec design but upon a closer look, it’s the alphabets cohesively designed with each letter.

I adore these types of long pencil skirts (wore similar here and here) because it’s sexy yet classy. And whenever I wear a form-fitting skirt, I already know what I’m getting myself into — couldn’t eat anything, could only stand in one place all night, and can only walk in small strides (LOL). Kidding, kidding, it’s not that bad. The material is quite soft and is actually nonrestrictive.

I know that famous saying that we sometimes sacrifice comfort for beauty, but when it comes to clothing it’s important to be comfortable because confidence truly shines through when we feel good in our clothes…Hence, I only said clothes, because I will sacrifice pain for amazing heels any day! :)

Ladies: What are your thoughts on midi pencil skirts?

Back to September: Bora Bora

After seeing the movie Couple’s Retreat a couple of years ago, I fell in love with the beautiful lagoons of Bora Bora. The pristine turquoise water and the soft white sand of the movie’s setting was just breath taking. Wishful thinking, I told NR “one day”…I would love to go there. The next thing I knew (well a year later) my wish came true :)

Three flights and 10.5 hours later (SFO>LAX>Pape’ete>Bora), we made it to this little paradise on Earth….looking at these pictures transports me right back to September.

Never seen so many shades of blue

Looking for Kim K.’s diamond earrings lol
