ARTSY FARTSY AVA: February 2015

When TOMS first came here in the Philippines, I immediately got attracted to their footwear design. It was very laid back, yet stylish. It was perfect for almost all the outfits I had in mind or let's just put it as "A match made in heaven for my closet!" :) But there was one thing I didn't really realize about the brand until last year. It's actually a brand that has made it their business to improve the lives of people-- One for One. :)
Last Tuesday, I went to Your Local restaurant and Yardstick Coffee shop to take a look at TOMS' Spring/Summer 2015 collection.

I mentioned in my year ender post last December 2014 that one of the things I was happy that I got to do all throughout the year was do a lot of artsy related things and among that was go on museum trips. :) I can't thank my best friends enough for the never ending interest of going with me on these kinds of adventure. :) Beginning of February 2015, the first thing we did was go on another museum trip and this time it was at one of the most beautiful and stunning one here in Manila-- The Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo. :)

It's kinda tricky when you look at it from the outside; it looks small. But wait till you get inside!:)

I remember back when I was a kid, I was such a TV addict (Now, I'm a social media addict.. lol!). I'd watch it as soon as I woke up, when I came home from school and I'd even stay up on weekends and fall asleep on the chair, just watching. I guess that and reading books contributed a lot to my poor eye sight haha!:)

But I don't regret being so hooked on them, because I grew up with some of the best 90s TV shows and I'm sad that they no longer have airtime on Nickelodeon or Disney Channel. I miss them! Luckily though, I discovered that Youtube can be your best friend when it comes to really old shows!

There are plenty of TV shows that I love back then. But I have two favorites that I also watch on Youtube. You can say that I've done some serious series marathoning there. :) Can you guess which ones I watch a lot?

I remember when I was little, I love swimming. Except for P.E. when we'd be forced to float and do different strokes. I was the sinking type, I couldn't float haha!=P However, I really did enjoy swimming for fun and Mom would always get me a Speedo swimsuit. :) Oh those were the days! Getting nostalgic here!>_<
For all swimmers and beach lovers out there, you will surely look forward to summer all the more as Speedo, the world's leading swim brand, welcomes the season with fun and vibrant summer essentials, offering a full line of swimwear and accessories for swimmers of all types and ages. Speedo combines fashion and function to enable everyone to make the most of their time in and around water.

Speedo's Spring/Summer 2015 collection revolves around its theme, aptly called Intensify, which focuses on graphics, prints, and colors.

Another big blazer outfit and can I just say that if given the chance to wear a huge blazer everyday, I would. If only the weather here in Manila was like Tagaytay's or Laguna's that would allow us to layer all the time. But summer is just a month away and we all have to keep our sweaters, scarves and thick blazers again to make way for the sleeveless, summer dresses and shorts...In short, summer dressing again! The weather may be scorching hot by that time, but I am looking forward to the bright colors!^_^

Typically, when the day of hearts arrives, the Hubby and I spend it going on a date at the mall and sit down dinner and maybe a movie. This year though, we decided to stir it a little by going to Nuvali with my blogger sisters Ana, Christine, Arnie + Joed. :)
Celebrating the love month, Nuvali Night Sky Cinema held its much awaited Romantic Reels outdoor screening last February 14th, gathering lovers and loved ones to a starry movie treat, under the moonlit skies and within the comforts of nature.

Our ride!!!:)

Since Nuvali is situated in Laguna, we had to ride a shuttle and being in the same van as these girls just makes it all the more fun. :)

If you're a frequent visitor at Bonifacio Global City, you would have most likely notice the big Dentiste green and white gift box that has been sitting in their garden area. That Mystery Box has made a lot of people curious and finally, day before Valentine's Day, they revealed it to everyone. :)

Can you guess what's waiting inside? :)

Back again with another cafe trip post!:) As some of you may know, I've been going to quite a few coffee or tea shops lately and most of them are quaint or cute ones. :) I already have my first post about this up and it's a pretty random one - http://www.artsyfartsyava.com/2015/01/coffee-dates.html :) But incase you're interested, just click the link above. :)
For my second post, I'm featuring a coffee shop near my school. :) There are a few nice coffee shops opening there recently and I'm trying to explore each one and blog about them. First up is Cafe Travel.

I, may be a colorful person, but I firmly believe that black and white will never go out of style. :) A lot of fashion bloggers sport these hues and it's a shame that I rarely get to do it, so finally, here's another once in a blue moon, B&W outfit post!

What do you, guys think? Did I manage to pull it off? :)

Simply Pretty is one of the known makeup lines of Avon that many girls like me grew up with. It's amazing to see that until now a lot of ladies are still a fan of it. :)
Yesterday, Avon launched the newest make-up collection from the Simply Pretty line- Eyes on Me. Oh and it is just in time for Valentine's Day!:) So, to the boyfriends out there, you know the drill!

Fall in love this Valentine's Day with this limited edition makeup collection with pretty shades in the most loveable packaging.

But can you guess who is the perfect epitome of a Simply Pretty girl in this time and age?:)

I love quirky and whimsical things and trying out places that involve those two is something I really enjoy doing. I remember middle of last year, my BFF Nickie mentioned a restaurant called Rustic Mornings to me. She showed me her awesome photos of the place and I instantly fell in love. From then on, it was on my list of places or restos to try. :) Finally, before January ended, they took me and the hubby there and we had a double date!

Want to see more of this place?:)

If there was one thing I could bring back from the past... something that was possible, I guess that would be to have another day with my grandfather. To go on a date with him and just spend the whole day talking. It doesn't have to be months, weeks, I just want a day. We never really got the chance to have dates anymore, so it's something I really want to bring back. Unfortunately, that isn't possible anymore. But I'm not giving up. :) I can always wait for him in my dreams.♥
Last Friday, I spent the start of my weekend at Sky Ranch, Tagaytay in a very nostalgic way. It was almost like going back to the good memories and the one responsible for this awesome day is none other than Kenny Rogers. :) And the main question of Kenny Rogers to us during the event was, "What we wanted to bring back from last year?" My answer was simple-- To have adventures and road trips again. :)

So why did they ask us this question? :)
