fall? what fall?

i have to admit, i am growing more and more envious every time i see a picture or read a blog post talking about fall fashion. while autumn is right around the corner for most of you folks, we here in tropical philippines hardly ever get such cold weather. unless of course you count the somewhat elusive ‘christmas chill’ that lasts, oh, about a couple of weeks in december — if we’re lucky. for the rest of the year though, it’s all about the heat. or the rain. or both.

but still, a girl can dream. so if i were to actually experience fall weather anytime soon, i will likely be strutting the streets in this:
