Bohol Bound

I remember during my elementary school days, we used to have this subject called social studies where we learned about Filipino culture, national symbols and tourist spots. Because of this subject, I’ve always associated certain cities with the things I learned in my textbooks. In Bohol’s case, two things come to mind–tarsiers and the Chocolate Hills. So when I finally got the chance to visit the city thanks to Fitflops, I was ecstatic to learn I was going to see the textbook favorites in the flesh. I loved seeing the tarsiers more though. They  are the cutest little animals and have the most peculiar personalities too! FYI, tarsiers were once part of the endangered species list while the Chocolate Hills were damaged due to the recent earthquake that hit 2 years ago, so I count myself fortunate to have seen them sooner rather than later. If you ever find yourself in Bohol, make sure you visit these tourist musts!

    What a cute outfit!!! I’m totally loving her fashion box now. If only they have like an outlet store her in Manila :( anyway, i love how you blend in with the background. This post is such a nature-y vibe: calming, relaxing. The fam is planning to visit Bohol later this year, I can’t wait to witness the beauty of our nature too. :)

    I like.. No, I love your outfit here! #ootd goals because of the leaf print on your top and shorts. And Bohol is one of my #vacationgoal so maybe, I’ll try to go there next Summer. Looks refreshing – your face, outfit and background. All perfect!

    I thought your outfit piece was a romper at first, Miss Camille! I didn’t notice that they were two separate pieces. How fresh is that leaf rubbing design? :-) They look like wax prints of spring!

    Thank you for sharing these glimpses of Bohol. The photos of the tarsiers you included had me laughing. Their facial expressions have that dose of hilarity one needs during the day. The first one looked sleepy, and the second one looked surprised. I can never get enough of how teeny they look!

    I like the hat you used to accessorize. Makes me miss summer! You really have an eye for combination in your photos, because placing it beside your designer bag for a cool shot gives a very music-festival vibe. It looks like a preview take of you on your way to Coachella. :-)

    The animal print on your sandals is a punch of wild. Trek in style with those on your feet! Your serene print on your top and shorts, plus the animal-skin design is an effortless way of mixing and matching! :-)
