An outfit from a year ago which you'll never know if I haven't told you that. hehe. I went to Makati with a friend for the creatives closet sale which I always make sure to go to every time it's happening (it is a bi-annual event). After shopping, we went to this park to hang out and take photos.
And she's finally back in the blog-o-sphere!!
I also finally got my original domain back, raellarina.net! You guys don't know how happy I am that I finally got it back. The (dot)com was only temporary but I was using it for 3 years. I was however, very inactive last year, and was enjoying microblogging on instagram and sometimes vlogging on tiktok.
A lot has happened in my life over the course of a year. I'll try to blog some of my favorite and important moments. For now, enjoy this outfit I wore when I went to Art Fair Philippines 2026 last month.
One of my closest friends got married last 2021 and this is what I wore when I attended it. Guests were asked to wear gray, hence, I opted for this long gown with a high slit. I paired it with black gladiator heels and a black purse.
Hi! :) Long time no outfit post! I wore this outfit sometime in 2021 when we had a road trip to Tagaytay. Yes, if you've been here on my blog for quite some time, by now you're pretty much aware that my family often visits Tagaytay.
You can tell that this was from long ago as I still have my long hair and face masks were still required to wear.
Hello, birth month! :)
Last July 2, 2022, I went to the ticket pre-selling for Cha Eunwoo's Starry Caravan in Manila Fanmeeting and this is what I wore. It's been so long since I last unleashed my fangirl self since the pandemic happened and it's only this year that my country is bringing back concerts and fanmeetings again.
If you can't tell, pink is my favorite color but the pink clothing pieces, bags, and shoes that I own are not that many compared to the other colors in my closet. However, I'm happy with whatever I have and I am trying to add more pinks in my closet.
By the way, I am decluttering and selling some of my clothes and stuff on carousell. Selling a lot in very very low prices (almost pamigay) because I badly need space in my room. I hope you can check it out! :)
Here is another Instagram saw it first outfit of mine in the construction site of one of our projects last year. This pair of Fila Shoes is actually one of my comfiest shoes so it somehow became my site shoes (which I'm really not happy about because I don't want it to be. haha). I'm very careful though because I want it to last long! I probably need to buy an "official" site shoes soon.
Okay, hi everyone! So my blog posts and my Instagram posts are still not yet in sync. I'm trying my very best. haha. So here I am with another outfit post that my other social media accounts had seen first. Instagram post here and here. Please follow me elsewhere (see my sidebar). hehe.
I honestly hate volleyball. Never liked it as a kid, dreaded it in college as my PE, and up to now I still don’t like playing it. BUT I DO LOVE WATCHING HAIKYUU!! and I love watching them play volleyball that I started to love the sport. Ganda ng anime, super! However, I will still not play it though 😂
Also, we got this shirt even before I started watching the anime. The shirt made me watch it! 🏐💕
Last Christmas, Dec. 25, 2021, I was finally able to wear my "All I want for Christmas is David Archuleta" Shirt and I was so happy. I ordered this last October or November of 2020 but I received it around first quarter of the following year. I mean that's understandable because of the pandemic but I was tracking it and I strongly believe that my country's post office was the major cause of the delay on why I didn't receive it before Christmas of 2020. So I had to wait for next year's Christmas to finally wear it. Hence, it's already sold out on David's website. hehe.
Here's another "Instagram saw it first" outfit of mine. Almost there though. My IG and blog will be in sync really soon. haha. Micro-blogging on Instagram is a lot faster and easier in documenting my outfits but I just really can't not update here on my blog. It's still different. So here I am trying to blog as much. :")
This was my birthday outfit last July 29, 2021. Every year, I have a double-birthday celebration because it's my brother's birthday the day after mine so it's a simple dinner on my birth date and then we celebrate together on his birth date.
This year, I am so grateful because I am blessed, loved, and happy 🙏🏻
I probably need to do a proper birthday post like what I did (almost) every year:
Twenty // Twenty Two // Twenty Three // Twenty Four // Twenty Six
I'll try to make time to reflect and think about my life so I have something to read back on in the future. I'm still trying to catch up with my backlogs until now. hehe.
I wore an all-white outfit during one of my construction site visits. It's really hot here in the Philippines and I try to lessen the heat by wearing fresh and comfy clothes when I do site visits. This was one of those moments.
My craze for anime back in elementary and high school is finally prospering again during this pandemic since I rarely go out. I was able to watch new anime and re-watch my favorite ones. I also started getting hooked with K-dramas and J-dramas. Anyway, my brothers made me watch Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) months ago and now, I'm patiently waiting for the last arc to be released because it is so good! Hajime Isayama is an amazing mangaka! Also, I am a Levi fangirl that I even celebrated my birthday with a Levi cake. haha.
I have shopped a lot (online) during this pandemic more than before the lock downs and sometimes, I reflect on it so I try to control myself and not buy anymore. I've also been decluttering my stuff because I badly need space in my closet and in my room in general. Having said that, I put up a closet sale so you can check it out if you're interested. Random stuff for sale are up in my carousell account.
Anyway, here's an outfit I want to wear outside when this is all over. Wearing @shairaluna.closetsale melon off-shoulder dress and vintage checked moss green blazer with pearly buttons 💕 I just love shopping at Shaira Luna's closet sale because she has so many beautiful and unique finds! And each piece has their own story.
Here's another Billie Eilish Outfit. This is very casual and laid back, perfect for chilling on a tropical weather. :) I paired this button down with a tank top, skorts, and slippers.
I am a Billie Eilish fan since I heard Ocean Eyes back in 2016 and I was supposed to see her live last September 2019 here in Manila. I already bought my concert ticket but then the pandemic happened and it got cancelled.
Anyway, I've been collecting a lot of Billie Eilish merch since she's been having quite a number of collabs with different brands. And this red sweatshirt is one of her collabs with H&M. However, I ordered mine online on Zalora PH when they had a sale so I ended up buying a handful.
As usual, Zalora's delivery is quick and I love that! The moment I received my order, I wore this sweatshirt to sleep the night I got it. I honestly love this so much! Can't wait to actually wear it outside of the house. hehe.
By the way, check out my post on Instagram wearing this. I did a full row of Billie Eilish there. :)
Hello everyone! Since the only places I go to during this pandemic are construction project sites only plus Wilcon Depot, CW Home depot, Hardwares, and other depots and suppliers, I've decided to just document my site outfits. I am maarte talaga so usually, I really dress up and not just wear shirt and pants even with the scorching heat of the country.
Ask me to profess something and in a snap I'd admit that I love and support David Archuleta for more than a decade now. I literally grew up with him --- from his American Idol journey to his acting career from the US to the PH, to his fulfilling a 2-year mission, and up to sharing his faith though his music now --- I am endlessly supporting him. I even grew up with some of his fans here in the Philippines and every time he comes here and do a concert, it's like a reunion for us. I literally run up to him when it's not going so well with my life and his music saved me each time. I mean, have you seen the best day of my life back in 2012? If that post doesn't prove anything, then I don't know what else.
Anyhoo, I've been so vocal about my fangirling life over David Archuleta and I'm grateful that I have something to look forward to and make me forget about how scary the world is right now. David's been doing a lot of virtual concerts and aside from attending them all, I've been doing some shopping over his shop on his website and I ended up getting a bunch of shirts! This is one of them.
Love this shirt so much! Love how the lyrics of David's songs formed into his face, it's so cute! I ordered a huge size (I think this was Large or an XL) so I can wear it in different ways, like wearing it as a one-shoulder top as what I did here. But I can also wear it as a pambahay or house clothes since it's big, soft, and comfy so I can wear it as a dress shirt.
Since this was shipped from the US to the Philippines and we're on a pandemic, I waited around 3 months to receive my package. It took long but understandable. And I was so happy to finally get it.
Anyway, I paired this with a red leopard skirt (very y2k vibes) and with my black cat creepers as well. I then topped it off with a red wool beret. Oh how I miss the times when it was all normal and face masks and face shields aren't required when going out of the house. And interacting with people is safe. I just wish this will all be over soon. Keep safe everyone and always wash your hands and sanitize!
