Kennard Diaries

Logo tees have made a massive come back lately in the fashion industry as you've seen on the mall or worn by your favorite fashion bloggers. Several local brands have issued their own take of the classic logo tee and mine was from Bench from their #BenchHeritage collection. Paired it with my go to high-waist denim pants and I just simply tucked it in like what I always do, like what I always do (sounds like Look what You Made Me do *repeat*). Finishing the look with my favorite Stan Smith's. Wear it loud and proud! How did you style yours?

Ever since it's hyped up opening, Sunnies Cafè, has already established it's name to be every millenials go-to cafe. I have been to Sunnies' countless of times already and it never fail me from the vibe, to the interior down to the food.

The cafè is surely worthy to be called an Instagram Heaven as every corner is "Instagrammable". Inspired by the directors travel around the world, the cafè has that LA vibe once you hear their playlist, it reminded me of Palm Springs sort of.

The menu and foods were perfectly curated and very #foodstagram - worthy hence, being visually exciting. Every combinations in the menu are well thought of I must say. What can you ask for?!

Another blog post labeled as "filed under long overdue post." 

A week before my 19th birthday, I had my friend shoot me to commemorate my last year of being a teen. Though I am just posting it now I think it's just right to share this one for you my dear readers- if there is- before I enter the adulting stage next month. Yes, time did hyperlapse real quick that I'm turning Twen-teen. 

I must say that this was by far one of the most taxing year I've had in my existence and I know a lot of you can relate to that. This era was a whole lot different compared years back. But no matter how hard your situation as of the moment, always look back on how you've survived certain situations you've never thought you can surpass. And here you are now, another step closer to your goal.

Just keep pushing. Push. Push Until Something Happen. There are certain instances this year that I wanted to give up, almost, that for the first time in forever I called my mother one gloomy day and I told her I can't do it anymore. I cried to her that day over the phone. I almost throw my dreams away in the junk. I did not think of the reason why I have come this far, my goal in the first place.

So if there is one valuable lesson that I grasp this year is to keep pushing for what you want, continue creating and putting your plans into action and turning your actions to work until you achieve your goal. You just have to be strong, focus, be inspired and most of all trust in the Lord. 

Let me end this by quoting a line from Pia Wurtzbach's farewell speech before passing her national titile, " A dream is a picture of possibility and we should have a strong heart and a prepared mind to turned that into a reality."

While packing days before my trip to Cebu, I've realized that I was only able to prepare basic outfits, the usual black and white. I'm always on the safe side when it comes to my style. I am really a firm believer of the power of basic dressing. But it's summer anyway, why not just play with prints and be the island-girl-slash-aztec-goddess in this tropical country that we are. 

This outfit post is overdue but I'll be posting all my pending drafts sooner than you think hopefully before the year ends :)
