She said:

Most boys find simplicity in dressing the most attractive. That means a tank and shorts combo is your best bet when it comes to attracting your average Joe, and a lot of us girls know that. So the question in most of their heads was: Why do we still pile on layers and layers of quirky, chic, intimidating, out of this world pieces, or go crazy over fashion choices they don’t understan

d, when really, all you need to get a guy is taking it all out? The answer is simple.

Girls don’t dress up to attract guys, we dress for ourselves. We dress up to feel pretty, to express ourselves through our daily sartorial adventures, to get creative and try something new... Girls like us see fashion as a form of art- textures on prints on colors on silhouettes. The Bottom line is, if the guy is really in to you, he shouldn’t really be looking (or judging you) at what your wearing anyway! He should love every single bit of you, no matter how plain, eccentric or even bipolar your style can be. Right, ladies?

I wore a dark blue Paper Doll top with eyelet details on the edge, my maroon Guess trousers and the brown Primadonna flats with gold details that Jackie gave me.And oh, by the way, the reason I told Donna to take me a picture is not because of my outfit but because of this pink sewing machine that was made into a dining table. It was sooo Shabby Chic.

To start with, my floral top is from Paper Doll, my red orange high waist shorts with blue belt is from Topshop, my royal blue flats is from Artwork, my red-black stoned charm bracelet is from Rubertos Jewellery, gold fancy earrings from Charlotte Russe and my Kate Spade orange tote from my mom and dad.

Anna Katrina Kitchie Nadal

Yes! I am a BIG fan of Kitchie Nadal. She used to be the lead vocalist of the band Mojofly. I first noticed her when my friend Tanya told me to watch the singer who sang Run at Myx. When I saw her, not only was I amazed with her voice, but how she looks! Tanya told me we look a like. Chos! And then she became my idol.

During my college years, which was not so long ago, we went to OIC - Only in Cagayan Restaurant which is now known as Lokal Grill to watch Kitchie Nadal's gig. She wore a plaid long sleeved polo paired with dark jeans and black heels. Too bad, i didn't had a camera with me. pffft. She passed at my back and was starstruck for the first time.

Last August 28, 2011, my friend Mitch called and told me that he could give me and my friend's free passes to watch Cueshe and that Kitchie Nadal would stop by at the Rosario Strip, Lim Ket Kai after her gig at the Night Cafe, Divisoria . So I went with my friend Monica, Uly & Jep at around 10pm. We waited for her until she arrived at 1am. She ate late dinner at East Wok and we went inside like V.I.P's.

               Star struck! Again! She was skinny, morena but flawless -- PRETTY. 

After she ate, she sang a few songs after Cueshe. No one expected that she'd sing that night. Everyone was sitting, and so I stood and watch her near the stage. 

                                               And yes i was that close.

Thanks to my friend Monica she bought her camera. 

Thanks to Mitch for the unlimited food and drinks.

It was indeed an unforgettable night.

'til we meet again Kitchie. ~xoxo, Shabby Chic
