Summer is in full swing in […]

Sasha’s Roxy Bikini

Photos by Yuga
It’s a one year and a few month-old bikini. I bought it back in 2005 in a local surf/beach wear shop (gawd. I forget the name of the shop!) in Rundle Mall in Adelaide. One of the things I knew I had to buy before I head back home (I was heading back […]

Last Hurrah On Swimwear

I know that summer is ending soon but I just can’t NOT feature this utterly cute bikini, Beach Terry Shirred Bandeau Bikini, from Juicy Couture that I found at Bloomingdale.com!
White is a weakness of mine. I can’t help but love anything white plus it’s a bikini. Hahaha.
This feeds my excitement on my upcoming trip to […]

T2B A-List: Nautica’s Cool, Clean Look

I know it’s a bit silly thinking of the beach when it’s been constantly raining here. But I miss the beach. I wish I can be there right now and let the waves soothe away the stress in my bones.
/sighs
So, I’m limited to shopping — window shopping — ONLINE! Heh. Pathetic, eh? I really […]

Outfit # 1

I love this one. I love the colours. They look so cool and refreshing. I like the stripes. It’s so casual and even if it’s printed, it’s simple. It’s a fun thing to wear.

La Blanca Swimwear Combo. Again.

I can’t help it. I love bikinis.
Let’s just say I’m sooo frustrated that I haven’t hit the sands since I got back. Bleh. Beach plans are still in the works for this upcoming long weekend. The country’s celebrating it’s nth year of independence. I guess with all this thinking made me fantasize about actually already […]

Summer’s almost over..

… in my part of the world. Sucks, huh?
One indication is the arrival of the country’s first storm for 2006, fondly called Caloy. It’s a nick for the name Carlo. Anyway, the past week has been filled with rain and gray skies. And they’ve started talking about school starting in a couple of weeks, some, […]
