Friends in UK

Apologies for the one week hiatus.  Our last stop, which was in London, was fully packed.  I'm back now, and recuperating from the flu... sigh!

Anyways, this post is to thank all my "UK" friends for taking care of me and my family.  You made our trip extra special :D

NIKKI GO, my childhood friend ;) Thank you for squeezing us into your house, and for driving us around New Castle and York.

JOHN GONZALES, my new found friend :D Thank you to you and Alex for letting us stay at your beautiful home, and for driving us to Bicester Village. We had so much fun!

DOHN YU, my schoolmate from nursery to college (haha... it's been that long!).  We love the restaurants you recommended.  Keep me posted with you-know-what, you hottie ;)

PAUL TIU, my childhood seat mate (fellow bus rider).  Thank you for touring us around London, and bringing us to my mom's requests :D

MARJ AKIL, my colleague back in Chalk magazine.  It's been 8 long years since we've seen each other!  It was so great to catch up with you.

We all had a lovely time, thanks to all of you.

Hope to visit UK and hang out with all of you again soon :D

Nikkibebs, Thank You :D

The past 5 days have been a blast, with us staying at my childhood friend's place at Stockton (U.K.)...  We left her place earlier today for Edinburgh.  This was taken earlier yesterday, and this is the view at the back of her apartment.  Breathtaking, isn't it? :)  

She's been a great trooper, driving us around the area and being so patient with us :)  Here is a shot of us doing some last minute checks, as Nikki gave us her recommendations for the rest of our trips.

Thank you, Nikkibebs, for taking care of me, my mom and my brother :D 

See you soon!

Outfit Post

Apologies for the short posts, as I need to get some sleep.  Plus, my flickr account is full already for the month of May :o  While we await for tomorrow to arrive, here's an outfit post of what I wore the next day: This photo was taken when we arrived at Darlington station, where Nikki picked us up. She lives a few minutes away from here.

Striped maxi dress, leggings (worn inside to keep me warm). Both from Forever 21. Scarf from Hermes.  White long cardigan from Hong Kong, and a cracked silver suede reversible jacket by Jeff Rogador.


The photo below was taken today. This was our last day at Stockton, where we stayed for the past few days:

Floral dress and leggings by Forever 21, white long cardigan from Hong Kong, scarf from Hermes, paired with Jeff Rogador's reversible jacket with floral brocade-esque fabric.

Loving the jacket, because I get to wear it two ways—very photo-op friendly ;)
