Things I Love Thursdays, 11
Attempt #1 at really trying to make this a weekly thing! Or, at the very least, not a once a month thing.

Things I Love: Bikini Edition
It’s bikini season! I used to look forward to summer and hitting the beach/es but my Sagada trip last December had me thinking that I might be a mountain and cold weather kind of person after all. It’s getting warmer in the city (but it’s still pleasantly chilly and windy at night… how odd) and to be honest, I would love nothing more than to escape the heat by hieing off to Sagada. Unfortunately, I’ve been told it gets pretty crowded there over the summer so I guess I’ll have to wait until December.
But enough about Sagada. This summer, I have at least two beach trips lined up: one in April with Team Internet! and another in June with my college friends. I am dedicating the whole of March to getting in shape (guess who’s been spending time on coloncleanseresearch.com) and finding the cutest bikinis. The former is a must while the latter a little unnecessary seeing that I have a couple of newish swimsuits from House of Vanita. I have a handful of old bikinis that need replacing, though, so this justifies my acquiring more! Currently, I am adoring/coveting these styles:
Anthropologie Floral Rush Bikini.
I am lusting after high-waist bikinis and this is the cutest I’ve seen so far. The price tag? $98 for the top and another $98 for the bottom. To put it bluntly, $200 for a swimsuit is stupidity (Mle, 2011).
Things I Love: Shoes!
80%20 Adair wedge boots.
In grey/black! I am seriously lusting for these hidden wedge hiking boots. My friend, Klassy, was in the country for a visit recently and just like we did the last time they were here, a bunch of us went over to their place on their last night (before heading back to San Francisco where she and her husband are based) to chat and watch them pack. Klassy has a ton of nice stuff and I couldn’t resist gushing over these.
She says they’re the perfect urban boots; she does a lot of walking in them and doesn’t have to deal with achy feet or blisters. NEED IN MY LIFE.
Things I Love, 8
Needlepoint loafers from By Paige.
Jeka tells me she saw some similar pairs at 168 for ~PHP1600. Not bad, but I really don’t want to waste a trip to Divisoria only to find out that the shoes aren’t exactly like the ones I want/I’m looking for.
2011 Goals and Projects
Happy new year, happy new decade a couple of days late! I had this whole collage of self-portraits from 2010 almost done on Photoshop the night of the 31st ’til I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to finish that AND cobble up a decent blog entry in twenty minutes. Besides, who in their right mind would spend New Year’s eve on the internet, reading my blog, anyway?
So 2010 was pretty uneventful but maybe I’ll save that for my next entry (aka where I post photos from my New Year’s). Today, I write about stuff I hope to do in the next 362 days. These are not resolutions, mind you… and no, I’m not about to blather on about how stupid and useless resolutions are. I think resolutions are fun to write down but I’ve outgrown the whole thing. What I need are goals, not just resolutions (because without the former, the latter is useless… I think?). I’m keeping this list simple so they’d be more doable. I know people say you should shoot for the stars or moon yadda yadda but I want to keep things realistic.
