Hair Enchantments

Finally, after 3 long years of digesting the idea of me having this hair comes to an end. I have been sporting long tresses ever since I can remember, and thought that having it this short was waaay far from being possible because of my face shape. But blah on insecurities and hello body (and face shape) appreciation!

And to my haircut peg: Audrey Tautou.

Roses Are

Just got home from a morning for the books with Ji, lazy-lounging, talking and weird-dancing while enjoying sloppy fries and fastfood burgers we'd binge and smell everytime. Oh, we could do this everyday. "Yeah right, Riz, how many calories is that again?" said the fitness voice in my head. This, I'll surely miss. *sigh* At least for now, these tiny peachy things make it worthwhile, not to mention my cat's indulgence of kneading my stomach yet again. 

I've been using this floral treasure for a while now, and realized I've never documented it. It screams versatility when I first saw this on my lola's box of goodies and been using it with almost everything since then.

Lunches and family get-togethers will always be one of my favorites.Sumptuous home cooked meals and merry conversations were exchanged for my Lola's 96th birthday. How cute she is when asked "How old are you" and she joyously (and quickly) responds: "86!"

Search for Your Escape

May 15, 2012

Today we escaped from our realities. Braved stunning waves, cloud-gazed and buried our feet in the sand. But as hardworking women as we are, Af, Centimosa and I snuck time for a Bloodrush shoot.

Summer 2012 will be always be the best one (so far). 

One of the best photos that day.

My Favorite. Ugh stunning    One I could frame and hang in my bedroom.

What we did that day: Frolic, lounge, lounge, and lounge.

Custom-made Leopard print top - Grandmother || Black high waisted shorts - thrifted

Now we work--and play

All we ever wanted--laugh and dance out of beat.

What was your summer like?

Wine and Dine

So what happened that night never really happened. Bloodrush.

Go into the Woods

If you happen to be stumbling upon this blog more than once, you'll know i'm a sucker for anything vintage. I almost always reflect that too with what I wear and people take notice of it (somehow).


Yesterday, my officemate just approached me and showed me her mother-in-law's vintage pictures! Awesomesauce. This was in the 60's



My ultimate favorite:






In their Filipinianas



This is how you stroll. Cat-eyes + midi dresses + vintage cars (behind them) = love



And this is how they take barkada pictures. I wonder if they ever had a wacky shot. heee



Those pouffed hair!

Viva La Manika's New Do

As you know, My Demeanor is already partnering with the eyegasmic vintage blog called Viva La Manika. This is hosted by none other than THE Afianne Cope and we're just so lucky enough to work on something for the VLM Shop, so expect me to blog about it more often. I'm overly psyched to tell you about this that my mind would blow any minute. But I think I would have to prolong the agony dolls. But soon, soon, we'll let you know. I'll leave you with a screenshot of the revamped website.



I just also wanted to congratulate VLM's Birthday Giveaway winner which is posted here.

Stay awesome mademoiselles!
