Summer Shorts

Hello Friends!

It's June, can you believe how fast this year is going. June means summer is here and that means summer clothes, one of them being shorts. In today's post I'm sharing an outfit wearing a new pair of shorts that I got from a haul I made recently (here) and some shorts that I'm eyeing this year.

Pinay Curvies...Pinay Style Idol

Hello Lovelies!!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far.

Well I was asked to join the Pinay Curvies blog link up again this month and I was happy to do it. The theme for this months link up is pinoy style icon and let me tell you, I have a lot of them. So this theme was really hard for me to choose because I adore so many pinay's and there styles from Celebrities to bloggers to Stylists. But I decided to choose the one that I admire the most at the moment. And it's...

Ms. Anne Curtis

"I like black dresses. I like black jumpsuits. I love white, white shirts kasi ang linis!" - Anne Curtis (credit here)

Anne Curtis is a Pinay-Australian actress, tv-host, model and singer. I chose her as my pinay style idol because at the moment she is the one person that I really admire for her style, plus she has an amazing personality that you can see as she host the daily variety show "It's Showtime". I like watching the show "It's Showtime," where she is a host just to see what she's wearing that day. I like how her style can be very casual and then she can be super glamorous at the same time. I love how she sings even though she isn't the greatest singer but she sings anyways and that just shows how confident she is. She's even had her own concerts which were her dream and she worked hard for it to become reality and I think that is just amazing. She can act crazy and silly not care what others think about her, I wish I could be like that. I hope one day to have the same confidence as her because I can't even sing Karaoke in front of people because I feel too self-conscious but I'm learning to be more confident in myself and I think her confidence inspires me to be the same as well. That's why she's not only someone that inspires me through her fashion but she also inspires me as a person!

I chose this outfit because I do have similar pieces but I also really like how it's cute, casual and yet trendy all in the same time. Of coarse my outfit isn't exactly the same. I decided to do black and white because of the quote above Anne like's black and white and I like wearing black and white.

So here is the outfit I came up with and I think it's pretty similar. You can't really see the details of the top but it has a similar detail as the one she's wearing, the only thing is it doesn't have a collar. I only have two pair of wedges and since she's wearing wedges in the pictures. I'm also wearing similar lace shorts, I got these shorts a little white ago. I really wanted these shorts from forever 21+ but they were sold out, but I found them at a store that I go to that has plus sizes. I was really excited when I saw them, the original ones I wanted were a nude brown color but they only had black and white at the store, so I got the black one because who doesn't like black!

Friday Favorites

Hello Everyone, it's Friday again so I decided to do my Friday Favorites again. I think I'm going to make this a normal thing on my blog from now on, will see how long I can keep it up. hehe 

First I want to share this video from Dove, I saw this on The Belated Bloomer blog and was inspired by it. I know I can relate to being very hard on myself sometimes and getting caught up in all my imperfections that I don't realize that sometimes those imperfections are things that people see in a positive way. But besides that we shouldn't think of think negatively about our imperfections and just love ourselves for who we are. Like it says at the end of the video, "You are more beautiful then you think." 

On Another note, the Lakers made it to the finals and their even in 7th place!!! Not many people know this about me, not even some of my closest friends, but I'm a big basketball fan and on top of that I am guilty of being a Lakers fan. haha But yeah i'm really happy they made it to the finals.  :)

Ok, so I'm really in love with these lace shorts from Forever 21+. I've always wanted a pair of lace shorts, I used to see them on chictopia and lookbook all the time but I could never find any in plus sizes. I saw one at Ross in an XL but when I tried them they were too small for me. So I was even thinking of DIYing my own shorts, so when I saw them on Forever 21+ I was in love, you can tell I even featured them in my Festival style mood board. But I think I have to try them on at the store first because sometimes shorts can be a hit or miss for me but I'm really loving these. You can get them from ( here )

Ok and Lastly I wanted to let you all know that I finally joined Instagram and Twitter. I have been anti-both for awhile but my friends have finally convinced me to Join, So if you have an account on either you can follow me on Instagram ( here ) and twitter ( here ) , so lets be friends! hehe I'm also adding a link on the side. :) I know I'm so late on joining the bandwagon, I feel super overwhelmed but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it! :) 

Have a Wonderful weekend ~Nina~
