Good Dress Up In The Tropics. ELENABLOG

Hello Summer!

It's my favorite time of the year! The season where I can hit the beach and go on a vacation! I've perfectly planned my summer vacation this year so I guarantee you that I will be sharing them all here! Oh I've missed writing down on this page. I just figured I have nothing really interesting to share for the past few months but work. I want something really interesting. Something you guys would feel excited about reading. So here it goes...

To start of my comeback post, I'd like to share my recent Holy Week in Bataan, Philippines. It's a 3-4 hour drive from Manila. Since I was a kid, we always spend Holy Week here. We hit the beach, watch the Senakulo , lounge by the pool and do hours and hours of road trip.

I've always loved the beach. Sometimes, I even wish I live there. I want to own a house by the beach, I wanna get married by the beach, I want to own a boat and everything related to this body of water. LOL

Bataan may not be as popular as Boracay or Palawan but this place has its fair share of wonderful beaches. West Nuk beach is our favorite! The white sand, peaceful island and exclusivity makes it really fascinating!

One Piece, NEON ISLAND Sunglasses, FOREVER 21

This beach is more conservative than the usual ones so I opted to wear a one piece. My flamingo printed one piece is perfect for this place! The print is one of a kind because it's hand drawn, made by Neon Island of course. This one piece fits me like a glove! They have a new collection of swimwear! You have to check them out!

You, how was your summer so far?

More photos of my Bataan trip soon! Stay Tuned!:)

XOXO,

NICOLE

I don't have really good photos from my last trip in Boracay because I don't have a camera with me. All of these photos were shot using my phone! Even though I don't have a camera to take shots of how good this trip was, I can attest to you that through these photos, my short stay in Boracay was epic!:)

We arrived at Caticlan Port in the morning of May 2. Nope we didn't ride the plane, we took the 2GO ship instead and I must say, taking 2GO made this trip more exciting and worthwhile. The ship was exquisite! They have beds, a restaurant, bar, lounge, air-condition, cabins and shower rooms inside! I was really surprised! Plus it's 3 times cheaper than riding the plane and no flight delays, just saying. haha! Definitely taking 2GO again for my future trips! :)

Look, it's the Nestea crew! Can you believe that by just buying a 75 pesos worth of Nestea Pitcher, you get one activity stub for free? You can choose from Paraw Sailing, Photo live with free print or a massage! I bet the people in Boracay really gave this one a go! Fun and worth it! Props to Nestea for exciting summer activities and promos! :)

Swimsuit, I LOVE KOI SWIMWEAR

First time to try Hama, it's a japanese restaurant at D Mall, Boracay. Great food!

We dropped by the Meg Boracay Summer Party! Great party, saw a lot of friends and luckily, I won "Outfit Of The Night"! Thank you Meg Magazine!:)

I could lay like this forever. The sun, sand, water and the view? Few of my favorite things in the world!
