What I Wore: Only U parka, New Look boots, Capezio stockings, Forever 21 shorts and bag, shirt from Hollywood.


Finally in Washington. My favorite place out of all the cities we visited!! The weather was perfect.. the architecture was impeccable.. every single thing there seemed to be in their right spot. It was so peaceful. It didnt have as much people as in New York. It was calm and quiet. Definitely my cup of tea.

So on me is the parka I got from Century 21 for like what, 80-90% off? The original price on this was $295 and I got it for only $60. Cool huh! This was supposedly the jacket that I was going to buy for the extremely cold weather in New York. Unfortunately, I bought it on our last day in NY so it didnt serve its purpose much. It's been quite handy for the Philippine weather these days though. Been raining non-stop and I've been running to it for water-proof-lazy-outfit-days. Just this parka and some boots and I'm good to go!

Really loved Washington. We basically went around The Mall which includes monuments such as the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, The Capitol, The Smithsonian Museums (which featured the HOPE diamond --the biggest diamond in the world-- among other things), and of course, The White House. Although there arent much places to visit, (it can be toured in just a day or two) I still love it simply for its ambiance. I dont know, I guess I'm not really drawn to the upbeat cities and the like. Although I love a little party once in a while, I'm still a laid back type of person (which is why LA will alwaaaaaayyss be my favorite!). This post will be the last from the bunch since I barely wore anything nice in Orlando anyway. The theme parks were great though! Maybe one day when I'm bored and I have nothing more to post I will do an update on our Orlando trip but for now, I shall leave you with this. Till then!

Central Park

The day my feet hurt like a bitch. Wish I could turn back time and chose to wear something more comfortable.. but I already had this outfit planned waaaayy long ago and not wearing those shoes would just ruin everything! The shoes were too gorgeous to pass but who knew they could hurt this bad?

What I Wore: Vise Versa coat, Capezio stockings, Mango bag, Forever21 shorts, top, and flats.


I swore off flat shoes after my experience on this day. I realized that the PAIN I get from wearing cheap flat shoes is worse than when I'm wearing cheap high heels. So whatever situation, I think I will just always go for the heels instead. For me, its either heels or rubbershoes. No other option. Haha!

Soo I didnt take much pictures on our last day so I will cram both days on this post instead. We visited Central Park (which was really painful for me to walk :'(), The American Museum of Natural History, and The MET. We also watched Lion King on broadway on the first night (which was SUPERB, btw!!!), and went shopping on the second.

We visited numerous museums on this trip that by the time we got to the MET, we were already tired out of wits thus having not much pictures taken there. I also really wanted to get my picture taken in front of the MET but it unfortunately rained that day. I wish I could have stayed longer in the MET but I was really just too tired already (plus I wanted to go shop) The art works in the museums we visited were amazing but next time I think I'd set a big gap between going to the museums since it gets boring easily.
