I’m so digging this whole neon trend. Found the best accessories to add oomph to your look but be ready to get blinded this summer.
Zara messenger bag, Sergio Rossi sandals with laser cut floral detail, Zara neon yellow heels, Kate Spade bib necklace, Portico Bracelet Neon Yellow by CC Skye, Alexander McQueen Blue Tote, Proenza Schouler PS1 tote bag in yellow.
Remember I posted this asymmetric dress last month? Well I got it as a Christmas gift.
Talk about sexy back… floral print
Sheer back
tail skirt
And new in: Sexy Stilletos (Zara S/S 2012 Collection)
It was love at first sight, tried so many pairs yesterday but I can’t possibly think of any reason not to get this one. I specifically like that orange bond that falls on the ankles. It gives my feet a fresh look plus it perfectly matches my Combined Chiffon Zara dress. Don’t you think?
Want a killer look? Try a very defensive style-Spikes!
Christian Louboutin Marquise Clutch
Topshop Cuff
Jeffrey Campbell Spiked Lita
Topshop Earrings
Sam Edelman Spiked T Strap Heels
But before you don this look, check your insurance coverage first coz extra care is much needed.
Special Feature: Joaquin’s 1st month footwear.
Cute eh?
By next week we will be changing his wardrobe and footwear already as he grows pretty fast. So it’s true…breastfeeding is still best for babies 2 years and below. 
P.S. I’ve been wanting to shot my footwear like these…but no time yet due to momma duties. Maybe next month.
I’ve been cheating on fashion with furniture – Carrie Bradshaw.
Since cannot do fashion forward nowadays, I kept myself busy decorating the new apartment. Yes, I “halfly” moved to the new apartment… Halfly, coz most days are still spent in here at my parents unit.
Some of the furniture I ordered arrived already, I really want to share with you here but my Olympus Pen is currently in the hospital. I broke its LCD and it will take one month to get fixed. (The Bf of course has a Canon SLR but he’s mostly out of the town). I will just make a different blog post for the apartment interiors soon.
Last week, I was surprised to receive a virtual card from Banco de Oro (to be used for online purchases only). Even on house arrest situations, these banks give you reason to spend. Virtual card is still unused as of writing. I’m delaying my fashion purchases until after I deliver this boy…safely.
Missing my pre-pregnancy activities, I came up with TOP 10 MUST DO by November. Scroll down….
1. Buy Shoes and Wear High Heels- Been wearing slippers and flats for almost 5 months now. I miss high heels… I want those sky-high wedges and platforms from Jeffrey Campbell too.
2. Color, Cut, Style my Hair- This is way overdue. Since January I want locks, big brown locks.
3. Update my wardrobe – New dresses, shirts, shorts, whatever! I’m starting to get bored with garterized bottoms and maxi dresses.
4. Go back to Yoga Classes – I got to get back in shape ASAP.
5. Drink Coffee- The doctor said I could drink a cup of coffee per day, But this alkaline taste wouldn’t wanna leave me thus losing my craving for coffee.
6. Hit the Spa- aromatherapy, swedish massage, body scrub… I miss self pampering treats.
7. Go out of the City- Either beach or highlands it doesn’t matter, I just wanna see new places.
8. Visit my Dermatologist- I need facial treatment, diamond peel, wart removal and so many more…
9. Organize a Party- For sure I needed to organize the baptism of this little boy.
10. Redecorate the apartment for Christmas- First christmas with the baby, I’m sure the apartment will need a festive look!
For now… I have to order some more furniture and home decors to make the apartment look more… homey and find a perfect name for this baby boy.
My animal print addiction just won’t go away. Last year I was so into zebra print (I have flats, make up case, make up kit, notebook, dress and even wallpaper and screen saver.) and now it got worse.
New additions like leopard, cheetah, giraffe python got me all connected to my animal instincts. Thanks to Rachel Zoe, again she’s the inspiration for this post. Here are my 20 fiercest picks:
20 wild picks by abyvalentos featuring a h&m blazer
Of course these items should not be worn all together. Just pick out key pieces to put more oomph to that outfit! Wild!
The excitement continues, 2 days to go before Valentine. Last installment for the 5 part Valentine dream date ideas.
Style Icon: Rachel Zoe | Theme: Modern Glamorous (Cocktails and Mock-tales-Opera Night)

Get your guy dressed up in his best suit and head to the city to take in a show. For the elegant couple looking for a more extravagant evening, the opera is a very romantic date idea. Throw a dinner before the show and cocktails after.
Happy Valentine!

P.S.
Stay tuned i’m cooking something really exciting.
Staying long hours in the office makes me want to go back in time and be back in college again. College life-the inspiration for my 4th Valentine mood.
Style Star: Selena Gomez | Theme: College Crush (Drive in movie date)
Valentine 2011 fell on a monday. Imagine yourself waking up late, donning comfy clothes and shoes, walking to your next class… rather than rushing through traffic in your usual office attire and classic pumps (which actually makes you look 10 years older).
Get a little breathing space, throw in this university student get up and grab tickets to that movie (or ball game) you’ve been dying to watch.
Click here for the details of this set.
Are you the America’s sweetheart type of girl? Then this set is for you.
Style Star: Katy Perry | Theme: 1950′s fun (Picnic date)
Pin up swimsuits are so hot now, love your curves, grab that vintage style swimsuit and feel like Katy Perry (or Betty Grable) for a day.
Swimsuit: Dolce and Gabbana, Bag: Moschino, Shoes: Christian Louboutin, Falsies: Benefit, Nail Polish: Topshop. Complete details here
Escape from the hustle in the city and head outdoors. It maybe in a secluded beach, by the lake, on a boat, in a ranch or farm or even in your own backyard. Go have fun, just don’t forget to put on your sunblock!
I’m keeping my promise. 5 style sets to guide you on your perfect Valentine Day Look (or probable gifts to your loved ones). This wasn’t a busy weekend for me, so here is my second installment.

Top: H&M, Shirt: Helmut Lang, Denim Shorts: Levi’s, Bag: Proenza Schouler PS2, Necklace: Tiffany & Co., Gel Eyeliner: Bobbi Brown, Lipstick: Mac
This look was a bit easy for me to put together, my personal style is almost the same as this. Casual, laidback, loose, boyish, mixture of old and new, with just a little splash of color. For complete details of this look, click here.
Just stay tuned for the next 3 looks. It’s gonna be all exciting!
