this is the only time i love the sun — when i’m at the beach. went with old co-workers and harry to a local beach resort last sunday to just unwind and hang out. there were good laughs and good food.
(i had this whole write-up prepared but my mood today just isn’t letting me want to talk too much)
just wanted to show you guys this skirt that we thrifted years back. it’s an original united colors of benetton vintage which still has a “made in italy” tag. most clothes (or stuff even) today are mostly made in china. not that i’m hating it…hehe. i wore this once to a company party 3 years ago and was awarded one of the best dressed for the night. wore the skirt as a dress and belted it. (don’t be shocked with how dark i am… i was still playing flag football then…haha!) damn, i miss my collarbones…and by arms… fast forward to 2010 and look what losing exercise can do to you…

Hi, my name is Gizelle Faye. I am an artist, florist, stylist, calligrapher, letterer, mum, and wife to Harry.
I am a bohemian risk-taker who fell in love with an old soul. Three months before our wedding in 2012, I went cuckoo and left my corporate job to pursue my dreams and founded Cuckoo Cloud Concepts. For about a decade, I was the creative director of Cuckoo Cloud Concepts, dreaming up unforgettable and picture-perfect moments from a tropical island called Cebu. I specialized and honed my skills in photo shoot styling, product styling, floristry, calligraphy, and lettering.
During the pandemic, I rediscovered my love for painting amidst the dark times. The universe proved a lot more cuckoo than me and sent me and my family on a journey that will find us in Camden, New South Wales.
But I vow to always bloom where I am planted. Today, in this new city, I host art workshops and offer social media content styling and creation, and other creative services for small businesses.
Here, you will find an archive of my paintings and other works of art inspired by nature, scenes, architecture, and BTS, as well as art events I run in different venues in Sydney.

Hello Gizelle!
Hello sunshine indeed! Love the pattern on that skirt of yours. I remember getting a pair of similar patterned pants from Benetton (most probable from the same season) years ago and just giving it away to the nearby Elsie Gaches Village because I just wasn't paying attention to it anymore. After seeing your fab skirt … I'm missing it again and kicking myself in the butt like anything!
two thumbs up for this summery look !
thanks for dropping by at my blog !
glisters and blisters 😀

Can I just say, with certainty, that I hate you? You get to see the beach and have a cool vintage skirt, and I'm freezing in a hoodie in the cold!! Ahh, jealousy.
Love the outfit, though for real, such a cute skirt. ANd I love both the ways you wore it. And pshh you look fine now!
i'd love the trade links!
added you already 🙂
Gizelle, can't wait for summer. I want to go to the beach too.
PS… I'll miss Sinulog this year. I go to Cebu every year pag Sinulog festival. I've been doing it for 10 years na. Kaso I have shoots dito sa US until February kaya absent muna ako. Next year, when I go there, let's meet ha.
Beautiful skirt!
Hi Gizelle!

Confession: I saw your comment on another blog and clicked on your profile just because I have always wanted to known someone called Gizelle.
Is that creepy? Ohmygod. I sound like a stalker, don't I? But I'm totally not. I swear. Okay. I'm going to stop.
Thanks! And thanks for visiting!
Posted today a new look, go there to check!
Kisses!
