A New Home

I apologize for breaking my word--that I would be gracing this little site with more looks. Certain life events refrained me from doing what I should be doing... unfortunately. Albeit it's Sunday and you know, Sunday is usually "my outfit post day", I won't be able to post one or two today. So please, bear with me and let me just share something about my blog shop instead.

If you are following me on Twitter, I bet you read about the change in my shop. Well, it's not really "as in" change. I just had it moved to another site--a much much cleaner, organized and accessible blog shop.

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! :)

I definitely love it. It makes shopping a whole lot easier!! So, I am inviting you all to visit and look around this tiny space even for just a moment. I am currently having this Free Shipping promo! But wait, I also modified the prices of some items because I am already at the clearing stage! If you love fashion and affordable-yet-branded pieces, remember to drop buy and take a look at my blog shop!! :)

Shop Gemnikka On The Go: Navy Blue Grunge Dress

Are you looking for an online shop catering branded and stylish yet affordable pieces? Fret not! And browse my blog's shop!

As you all know, I am really a lover of fashion--everything about it. Having said that, I am OC when it comes to my things especially, clothes, bags, and shoes. I always see to it that they are well taken care of. Knowing the need for me to cleanup my closet (to make room for new ones), just breaks my heart. What more the moment I sell them?!

One of my all-time favorite dresses in my closet is this grunge dress!! I love its rugged design. Stylish, right? And yes, I am already selling this piece on my blog's shop. You can purchase this there! Hurry up before someone would be able to steal this dress in a great great deal! Head on here and fill up the order form!!! :)

Shop other fashionable items on my blog's shop now... before it's too late!!! :)

In Need Of Attention

I was so inspired that I tweaked my blog layout a bit; hence, the new banner. I love the simplicity and cuteness of it!! I went for pastels since I am really going crazy over them especially lilac! Hopefully, I would be able to tweak my side bar too.

Oh, have I told you that I am running a blog shop also? I named it Shop Gemnikka On The Go. Please do visit it for fashionable items at reasonable prices!! I also tweaked it a bit but its design is just the same as my blog's.

Please, please, please do pay a visit and email me what you like to buy, okay? On a side note, I am welcoming blog layout projects or artworks!! Just reach me out through my email address (gemnikka22@yahoo.com) if you have questions, inquiries, or the like. I would be grateful to be working with you! :)

My ZALORA Wishlist

Nowadays, online shopping continuously makes a gargantuan break in the business and fashion scene. Many online shopping havens are showing up like mushrooms. And I am a self-confessed online buyer since forever. I view online buying more convenient than shopping in malls because it is not that hard to browse the things you need and your order/s will arrive right at your doorstep. But, I am just having problems with the payment. I still need to go to the nearest designated bank just to secure the fees.

To my surprise, there is this one unbelievable online shopping destination which offers (by far) the most innovative and accessible operation. Have you heard or read about ZALORA? Yes, you are right... I am pertaining to ZALORA. "Online shopping made easy" is their core dedication. Navigation is so simple and you can ensure your safety without any doubt. Did you know that you can have the payment option of COD or cash on delivery? Indeed, it is just like food deliveries. Other payment options are direct debit, over the counter, credit card and PayPal. Wait, their great service doesn't just end there! How about the shipping and returns, you ask? They do offer free shipping nationwide. Not yet convinced? I am pretty sure you would be very happy if I tell you that the delivery time could be reduced to just 3 hours and same-day delivery. You read them right. And as for the returns, there is still no fee. Now, are you convinced? I assure you are cause I really am!! :)

Now let me show you what are on my ZALORA Wishlist:

Sanuk Get Lei'd Womens | 2,790 php

This footwear is just too hard to resist. This undeniably caught my attention with its details. Florals are very trendy these days. They obviously scream "summer"! I am also a sucker for comfortable yet stylish closed shoes just like this one! I am really dying to have my first ever pair from Sanuk!!

Ray-Ban Aviator Round | 10,990 php

Sunglasses are the bestfriends of lazy girls. Lazy to do make-up or just want to add an interesting statement on your look? Then, put on the most stylish sunglasses in town! I chose the round glasses from Ray-Ban because I have been looking for these since I am deeply in love with anything vintage-y.

Sorry, but let me just cut the excitement! The following pieces are not for me, but for my loved ones. I also want to share blessings to them (that is, if I would be one of the five lucky winners to be chosen). So here they are:

Ray-Ban Classic Aviator | 12,990 php

This Ray-Ban aviator would be perfect for my brother dear. I know he is always dreaming of having sunglasses from the famous Ray-Ban. Its construction is just so versatile and will never go out of style. I want him to have such because he has been a good brother to me (there are misunderstandings sometimes though). Nevertheless, I love him and I want him to be happy!

Timex Classic Male Chick | 2,990 php

This watch from Timex is just so classic (as what the name suggests) and I want my dad to have this luxury watch. I think he really deserves a treat after all the hard works he had been doing. The watch itself defines simplicity (but with an oomph factor). This accessory will definitely complete his everyday overall look!

Bonita Shoulder Bag | 1,916.42 php

Aside from shoes, accessories, and clothes, what are the other obsessions of women? Bags, of course! I personally chose this for my mom because I remember her seeing this very bag. The bag itself embodies beauty and elegance just like my mom. Once combined, perfection sums up.

So there you go! Did I just make your eyes feast over these glamorous pieces which ZALORA carry? Well, what are you waiting for?! Head on now to ZALORA and make your own wishlist or might as well buy your favorite item/s!! They have limited stocks so... let's shop away! :)

*This is my official ZALORA wishlist entry (thank you ZALORA and Nuffnang Philippines for holding such an awesome giveaway!).*

Hang Ten Socks | Bayo Brogues

This was my look yesterday. I opted for a casual style again. I just love how the DIY shirt creates an oomph in my outfit! Love the design I did!!! If you want personalized shirts, check out my shop (Facebook or Multiply) or email me at gemnikka22@yahoo.com with your preferred design and we'll talk about the price there. Hihi. I didn't do excessorizing since I am emphasizing my DIY top. Don't you love how rainbow-colored the bag is? Very chic! Oh, and it has a "secret pocket" on the side! Cool, eh?

So, guys, what do you think of my look? :)

What's In The Mail?

Nyx Round Lipstick

Guess what shade? :)

Power Shade!

Just got this lately. After receiving this, I can't wait to open and try it on my lips!!! I have been eyeing this for months now. And I am so happy having this bought. I got this from GWY Shop for only 120php (plus the shipping fee). It is much cheaper here compare to other beauty shops! Great steal, eh? In addition to that, we had a smooth transaction! Of course, thank you to Multiply for making shopping easier! I am thinking of buying Nyx Lipsticks again from GWY Shop. Well, I'll be thinking on that. ;)

Readers, what do you think? How did your rainy Tuesday turn out?

Red Herring Embelished Top | The Ukay Pink Trousers

Aldo Bag | Debenhams Scarf | Bayo Brogues

Aldo Bracelets | Free Violet Bracelet | Orange Bracelet (gift) | Aldo Heart Ring | SM Department Store Orange Ring

These were my outfit shots last night. Okay, sorry for the low quality photos. I hate it when it gets dark. Poor me, I wasn't able to arrive at UST when the sun's still up (blame the traffic in Araneta!). By the way, I love the blurry effects of the last two photos.

P.S. I really want to replace my old Sony Cam  with a brand new Canon DSLR. I am dying to have one! I need it, obviously! :(

Through all struggles, stand tall.

It's Up To G Nude Blazer | White Sleeveless Top | Mango Belt | Banana Republic Flared Pants

Oasis Pearl Bracelet | Aldo Rings

Red Herring Wedges

This is one of my favorite get-ups! So simple yet elegant. Agree? :) Well, I didn't put tons of accessories since I want to go simple. I love the whole outfit especially the blazer! It really is a must-have! It unleashes that "fab" side in you. And to add up, I am actually re-selling (bought from Vintage Diaries) this blazer in my shop, It's Up To G (Facebook or Multiply). I wore long flared pants paired up with wedges to make me look tall. I always want to be tall, but unfortunately I am not blessed to have such legs. Anyhow, I still do love my body and contented of what God has given.

So, what's up with you guys? What do you think of my outfit? :)
