Schoolchild Daybook: Dots and Rolls

Polka dot top: H&M //

 Dress used as a skirt: Mango //

 Belt: Sm Accessories //

Shoes: Converse //

Bag: Levi's //

Shades: bought in Paris // 

 

That's the most overused bag I own. I have a few other overused bags. haha.  A six year old Levi's bag perfect for school. 

I gained weight too quickly! Notice the folds and my cheeks? But who couldn't resist the delish cuisines in Europe?

 

So summer class has begun and to tell you the truth, I'm  not particularly thrilled. This is my first time enrolling for the summer class program so initially, I didn't know what to expect. Well, 3 weeks have gone by and I have hated every single minute of it. I miss my blockmates! 3- Entrep A :(

Anyway, enough about my rants, I will be posting my Schoolchild Daybook, a day to day (well I'll try to) chronicle of my outfits during summer class. It's quite hard since our school (Ateneo de Davao University)  is pretty strict when it comes to the dress code. But hey, at least I can put on dresses and skirts. Yey!

How's summer doing for ya?

Anyway, a little reminder, our giveaway, The Perfect Summer Giveaway will end tonight at 9 PM so hurry guys, tweet tweet tweet! 

Here's the link to the contest:  http://stylezodiac.blogspot.com/2012/04/perfect-summer-giveaway-style-zodiac.html

That Was Quite A Challenge!

To sum up the outfits, I'd say they pretty much reflect my "style". Chill. Tomboy (with a few hints of girly in there) very casual. Will I ever bring the same stuff again? Hmm maybe some. I really loved the brown jacket - worth every Euro. I also loved the dress. Unfortunately, I only got to use it once. Next time I travel, I know I won't be able to in the next few months, but when I do, I'll try to be girlier and  I'll add a little spice to my looks. My Europe outfits look too blah for me. I didn't bring any accessory! But anyway, there's always a next time.

But still, all of the looks were really manageable and comfy. I think in a hierarchical way, I'd put style first, comfort the second, usability the last. ( I know, I know it sounds off but yes, our helper can attest to that! I have a cabinet full of clothes I have yet to wear) Just because I don't know where and how to wear them! Tribal vests, skirts with the highest hemlines and tube tops. Teach me how to wear these stuffs!

Someday, I will have the body to wear these. HAHA dreams.  So much for that,I have a question for you all, I really want to know! If you would travel, how would you mix and match your clothes? Post your reply please! =)

Finally! I'm done with the Travel Styling Challenge!. Gosh, It took me almost 3 weeks to complete this. It should've been 10 days instead of 21 days. I've been very busy. Sorry. 

Life Lessons from our travel:

1. It's always good to walk. It can take the bad energy away from you plus you'll lose weight.

2. Never hesitate to ask. Don't be shy and speak up.

3. But don't trust too much. Always keep an eye on your belongings. =)

4. You should definitely bring clothes efficient for layering. It can get warmer during noontime and coooold during mid-afternoon.

5. Every corner of the world is magical.You will always have the chance to learn about the most bizarre things in the most unexpected places, so it's really good to explore. =)

I had so much fun in our 10 day stay in Europe. Bitin nga lang. I wish I could go back soon. :( Di na keri ng budget. haha!

I hope you learned many things through my blog posts as well =)

8/10: Going Minty in Madrid

Leather jacket: Ventiuno

Mint Green Polo: Uniqlo

Leggings: The Ramp

Suede Grey Boots: bought in Madrid

You'd guess that I got overdosed wearing this jacket but - NOPE, it kept me warm the whole time. =)

 

They have the prettiest buildings

 Our trip wouldn't be complete without eating Paella - especially in one of the famous restaurants in Plaza Mayor.

 Even their Mcdonald's restos are pretty.

 I want to live here! So beautiful!

 They really love to entertain people. =)

 We found this along Plaza del Sol.

 I love my new boots <3

Perfecto!

As you can see, I posted too late. Sorry guys, I have been really busy with school lately :| - which I unusually hate 'cause I have been getting the hang of studying last sem. I just hate my subjects right now. Grr.

Moving on, this was our 2nd day in Madrid. Too bad it rained the whole time we stayed there but we still had a blast here though. It's a shopping mecca! Please, if you have plans on visiting Europe, shop in Spain. I highly encourage you. They have much cheaper prices than in France but the items don't disappoint - it's a fashion haven after all. =)

Watch out for 9/10: Hola Barcelona!

Oh by the way, I have Instagram now, just search for "patrisciab" and follow me if you want =)

Sadly, no outfit shots for our first day in Madrid. I completely forgot about taking outfit photos 'cause we only had an hour to roam around.We arrived here in the evening. hoohoo

Not so many words in here. On my next blog post, 8/10: 2nd Day in Madrid, I'll definitely post more pictures, and more words. =))
