Cafe+ Experience
10/6/14
Coffee has become my best friend ever since the college sleepless nights and visiting different coffee shops nowadays is on my bucket list. Surely this Cafe+ was on my list in a long while now, but since the location is out of the way, I wasn't able to come and visit it whenever I like to. One fine evening my cousins asked me to go out with them and as soon as I realized they're going there, I'm good to go (so eager little girl). Actually, we arrived almost closing time, but gladly they still managed to get our order. The one thing that I admired most in this coffee shop is the way they present their products, very tempting and toothsome. I'm telling you that waffle we ordered was good for 2-3 people, (if you guys are really not hungry that much) the serving amount is worth the price you'll pay. They served hot and cold drinks, but I opted for cold that night and I am looking forward to have a taste of their hot drinks. PS: The strawberry cheesecake was heavenly delicious.
I will surely visit them again soon.
XO, SAD.

Sunday Style Inspiration - Forget The Rules
10/5/14
(The photos are all from Tumblr dashboard, credits to their respective owner.)
Sunday has come too fast, but luckily for me, it's a long weekend so Monday and I can chill a little longer. I'm beaming right now not only because of Monday off, but also because I am literally updating my blog this weekend and as well preparing a few drafts for the coming week to keep my blog SAD alive. There'll be a few new segments of post each day, I really do hope that I can always catch up with my plans. So for now I hope that you found those photos inspiring. I was gaga over the basics and black and white style. How about you? What's your current trend? I'd love to read your comment so better leave one down the comment box. And no matter what trend you're going, flaunt it. You own your runway anyway. Agree?
XO, SAD.

Travel Diary: Hello, Bolinao!
10/4/14
Last weekend, my cousins and I visited Bolinao, a little treasure trove with a panoramic view of the West Philippine Sea. Mind you, travelling a long way is worth it just by admiring the view of the beach, calming and relaxing. Well, we should have visited it the weekend before, but due to typhoon Mario we rain checked. And luckily, the weather last weekend was damn good! We really felt like it's summer again and the word fun was understated, it was ecstatic (just look at the overwhelming view of the last photo)! I'll be sharing a few more photos on my impending blog posts. Stay tuned! Oh, Saturday is going too fast. *sigh*
XO, SAD.

A few weeks ago, I decided to turn my second instagram account into an all-black-and-white posts. I was inspired by some amazing IG-ers that post such style. Well, there is another reason why I post this way, and it is to keep the life of those snapshots hidden hence letting my viewers appreciate the beauty of its simplicity. Oh, and I'd love to wonder how they will perceive the vividness of each post. I'm no good in photography but I'm trying my best to capture each photos beautifully. I hope you liked them and would you mind paying a visit on my instagram account, just go here: @styleanddaydreams. Happy long weekend, my loves! Expect that I will be flooding your dashes with my Bolinao Trip posts.

IT'S YOUR HEART, IT'S ALIVE. IT'S PUMPIN' BLOOD.
7/30/14
Whatever negative stuff you are imagining right now ignore them because as long as your heart is beating, you have to live it up to the fullest! In life, each of us came across different conflicts and surprises, some of them emboldened us but few weakened us. Have you ever imagine a life without having a high-risk-kind-of-situation? Oh, that'll be a boring one! We need spices (difficulties, struggles or such) to mold us to become a better person.
But on a daily basis, how can we really handle those stressful situation? Let me share a few tips on how to survive a day with your temper at bay.
LISTEN TO SOFT AND CALMING MUSIC
The consoling power of music is well-grounded. It has a unique link to our emotions, so can be an extremely effective stress management tool. Try giving yourself an hour or so of time alone just listening to good calming music.
GO FOR A WALK
Walking down the street can help you calm your mind and alleviate the stress. It can help you think more clearly. Just choose to walk down a quite street.
LESSEN YOUR CAFFEINE INTAKE
Daily dose of caffeine may not be bad as long as you know your limitations. On a daily basis, I know that it keeps you going (I'm talking about coffee here) esp. after spending almost the whole night wide awake. Just remind yourself that too much intake is really not a good thing.
MAKE A TO-DO LIST
Aaaah! This will save time and keep you away from cramming on few of your tasks. Time management plays a big role in your life, so better handle it justly. Plan things ahead of time and jot down the things you need to accomplish each day. A little notebook with you might help.
SMILE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE
Forcing yourself to smile can boost your mood. (Psychologists have found that even if you’re in bad mood, you can instantly lift your spirits by forcing yourself to smile.) So don't be stingy when it comes to smiling.

Sunday it is and the very first day of June, I've been thinking of a few stuffs lately of how to improve my blog. Reading from different sites helped and inspired me to keep going and pursue all my plans for SAD(uh, my blog acronym). I guess this month will be my starting point, I'm rooting to post articles that will benefit me and of course you (yes you, my dear readers). Now is the time to really kick real hard my laziness away, do you think I can handle that? Of course, I will try my very best to. Deal? ;) Okay now, can you suggest a topic? I'd love to read few of your ideas, besides my blog is a place where you and I can communicate, right? Just leave it on the comment box below and please leave a link of your blog so I can check it.

And You Let Her Go

Part of me is feeling ecstatic right at this very moment because finally I am about to publish one hell of an #ootd post for my blog! How long it is since my last one? I can't barely remember, eh. Anyway, this was taken last Saturday when my mother and I went on a Christmas rush shopping! Believe me when I say it was one tiring day and not to mention it also left me so broke from all the spending!!! Gah! I'm to blame! Haha! I can't help but buy shoes, shoes and shoes!!! I'll be posting them soon on my blog, so please don't forget to check S&D regularly. Talk about my outfit here, I've avoided to wear dress/skirts for some unknown/weird reasons, so I ended up putting denim and leather together. I never thought I can pull it out. A flat silvery-black-&-white sandals to finish my look! What you think of it? I am fully aware that each one of us have different sense of style and it's our choice to go over that usual style and try something else. Spice up your life as what others connotes and go out your comfort zone sometimes. Don't wait for 2014 to start something different but start now. Will that be fine with you? I'm being optimistic lately. Please allow me to end this post with this inspiring song from the Passenger.
Until my next post,

My Mantra: It's a small world.
12/10/13
Holler once you've read the title of this post! I'm not sure if there's still a reader of this blog, it's been on hiatus for more than two months, I can't believe it! Well, I think that sometimes all it takes is a good break and hopefully it'll result to something really interesting. My idle blog is back with vengeance! Feel the spirit, I'm looking forward to posting a lot of stuffs, actually random one in the near future. I really need to catch and write up to at least shy from those shitty things I ran into and will run into (for sure). Hence, I entitled this post "My Mantra: It's a small world" which I quote from the bedside astrologer column of the cosmo magazine under the sign, Aries. There's more about the mantra that lead me to this post, and I quote again "The 10th is the perfect day to update your blog or tweet" how apt stated. I think things are colliding to help me bounce back to my blogging line of fun. So what do you say about it? Did you miss Style & Daydreams? I hope you did! For now, that's all, I've been yawning and yawning over here so I guess I need to hit the sack now and do look forward to my future posts.
Let me leave you with this lyric video of It's All Good Of Neyo & Cher Lloyd. Please appreciate every word of it. This song helps me through the bad times and I hope it'll inspire you too.
Until my next post,

Hello, Friday!
9/27/13
Oh it's Friday again! The week passed by too swift and now September is almost over, should I wake you up now? :D
This is just a quick post to keep my blog alive. I finally used my Michael Kors bag after keeping it in my closet for a couple of weeks. :) I'm definitely in love though I should be more careful because the color easily attracts dirt or whatsoever. Uggh. I think I need a brown or black one next time. What you think? Anyway, I need to run now but I'll be posting more this weekend! Watch out. :) I wish everyone a wonderful day ahead. Be fabulous!
And I'm leaving you with the song, Wake Me Up When Spetember Ends of Green Day :)
Two-Toned Style
9/22/13
It's been so long since my last outfit post, right? And this one I have here is an out of the blue because it wasn't really intentional to took a few shots but since we're waiting quite long that morning we've decided to take a couple shots. Pardon if the photos are pixelated for I am only using my iPad mini. ;)
Since I've got this Women's Pumps With Pointed Toe and Double Buckle Design from SammyDress I've been eager to wear them. I never imagined that this 9.5cm shoesies will be that comfortable to wear, maybe because it's made up of light-weight materials. I love everything about it, don't you?
To balance the two-toned look I opted for my favorite knee length skirt then pair it to my Metal Point Lapel Black Chiffon Shirt. Of course I have a black blazer with me because it's too damn cold at the office. :D
My life lately have been very busy and I even failed to document some of it, It seems that I have much in my head to share but then I always end up with saying nothing. Well, I guess that's just how life suppose to be and the best thing we can do about it is to face it confidently. Chin up and SMILE BROADLY! :)
