Michelle My Belle: Romantic Colors

Bonifacio High Street has recently been one of my favorite places since I am able to walk around with fresh air. Whenever I go there, I always feel like I am in another country. Well, at times the sun may be too hot but on a cloudy day, it’s the perfect place to walk. Sometimes, I even bring my dog, Peplum, with me and just walk for around for hours.

My outfit today reminds me of Valentines Day since I wore romantic colors of red and old rose plus my top has lace details with a sweetheart neckline. I match my top with a pair of khaki shorts since I find shorts to be perfect for walking outdoors for manila weather (I have had bad experiences of skirts or dresses flying and pants being too hot).

As I was walking around with my friend, a particular store caught my attention- French Sole. One of the main reasons why I noticed this store is because of its products. Ballet flats are my favorite type of footwear since it’s stylish and comfortable (well some are). French Sole is a luxurious brand by Jane Winkworth. It started in London during 1989 and is now one of the most famous shoe brands around the world, known for its ballet shoes. I used to see this brand in Madison which is why I was quite surprised to see that French Sole has its own brick and mortar store at Bonifacio High Street.

such an adorable shop <3

After some window-shopping, my friend and I ate at Stella which is located at Bonifacio High Street Central. Stella is a wood fire bistro, which I would recommend to family or friends. As we entered, there weren’t any costumers yet but as time went by, people started coming in. The staffs were also friendly and accommodating. My friend and I tried the Truffle pasta, Smoked Salmon and Black Caviar pizza and Pesto and Grilled Vegetables pizza. What I like about their pizzas is that you can mix two flavors of pizza into one to accommodate both persons’ taste. In my opinion, the Truffle pasta was just mediocre since it just had a very light taste of truffle. I would have preferred the truffle sauce to be stronger. However, I really liked the Smoked Salmon and Black Caviar Pizza since there was big chunk of smoked salmon on each slice and the thickness of the crust was just right.
