DIPLO STYLE ♕ How I’d wear the PASTEL / CANDY trend

DIPLO STYLE ♕ How I’d wear the PASTEL / CANDY trend

Hi guys! So sorry my blog has been so erratic lately! I’ve focused my energy on my new baby, my DIPLOshop. Just trying to get it off the ground is taking a lot of energy and time. I’m actually feeling a relapse of carpal tunnel symptoms because I am not only spending a lot of time on the computer (I’m doing the website myself) but also creating one-of-a-kind jewelry/accessories by hand myself! I’m having so much fun and getting utterly obsessed with new designs and finishing them.

DIPLO STYLE ♕ Here comes the sun!

Hey guys! I’ve discovered another thing I love… POLYVORE! So this is how all those fashionistas are creating their super cool “looks!” And it’s so darn easy! Yey now I’ve a way to create some looks without resorting to low-tech Powerpoint heehee. Occassionally I’ll do a post when I feel inspired.  Best thing about it is that it says where you can shop for the items and how much it costs! SO cool!

NUSA DUA TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ Walking to Bali Collection

When staying in Nusa Dua the outside world (like Seminyak) is not so accessible unless you have a car rental or travel about 30 minutes via taxi so I got to go around on foot a lot. Bali Collection is the nearest place to go for shopping and food. It’s a beautiful leisurely 10-15 minute walk from Marriott Courtyard. Photos of the walk and candlelit dinner at The Frangipani Bali after the jump!

MYANMAR TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ Sabai @ DMZ Thai Restaurant

Before leaving TD did some research on the restaurant to eat in in Yangon and Myanmar so he had a shortlist of options with their addresses with him. The way we decided was to ask our driver which restaurant was the most convenient to go to knowing our itinerary. On the night we arrived we only had time for dinner after the airport transfer. And Sabia @DMZ Thai Restaurant was quite near the hotel.

So just wanna share with you the photos of one of our wonderful meals at Sentro Filipino Restaurant!
