Meet the Mullet
I wanted to be sophisticated in style for the EMO Jewelry Event that I reserved my Friday night for. Stuck between a maxi and a mini, I thought my mullet dress would be the perfect option. Business in the front and party in the back!
What I wore: Sheer animal printed mullet dress [Platinum Fashion Mall Bkk], Love connector ring [Bought online], White stone ring [Chatuchak Weekend Market Bkk],...

Real Steel + Style
An enjoyable evening of good food and great wine transpired last January 27th as EMO Jewelry primed an intimate get-together for Manila’s fashionphiles. The happening was held at Café 1771, an especially endearing and picturesque place at Ortigas. It had a great ambiance along with the cutest interior, down to its teeny tiny decorations.
Adorable comfort room door signs!

Love for Leo
Leopard printed scarves are considered to be a great fashion investment due to its timeless appearance. It’s amazing how this ferocious fabric can transform any basic garb! I wore this to a lengthy Friday in school hence the flats, which I opted for convenience.
P.S. I just saw The Vow so my title somewhat has a double meaning. Such a sweet, sweet man Leo was! <3 If I woke up from a coma and...

Catching Dreams
Besides feather earrings, another kind of tribal trinket that I adore would be dream catcher necklaces. I find it lovely that they not only dangle on top of beds these days but also dangle charmingly on bohemian chicks’ necks! Elaborately eye-catching, this beautiful baby goes with almost anything and everything inside my hippie closet.
What I wore: Mustard yellow cropped top [Bangkok],...

Gong Xi Fa Cai
As my witty siblings and I welcomed the Year of the Dragon, our itty bitty drops of Chinese blood recommended us to wear red and gold; colors signifying happiness and wealth for the brand new year. This was the only red dress that I could find in my closet and it was extremely body hugging, I had to control my Chinese chow consumption during dinner. Sayang buffet! Lololol.

Metallica
This bib necklace captured my attention the instant I came into a street shop in Bangkok. Its bejeweled details were too sweet to shun and so I stepped out of the shop with a smile, carrying this baby in a plastic bag. What I adore about pieces like this is that whether it’s chunky, stacked or full of bling, it can make even the most ordinary outfit effortlessly eye-catching.
What I wore: Cream...

All American
For one noteworthy evening, I temporarily bid adieu to my favorite Union Jack Flag and said hello to The Star-Spangled Banner. I just realized it upon glancing at my photographs now that my fancy Fourth of July hat ring makes the perfect cherry on top of this getup!
What I wore: American flag crop top [Sister’s closet], Dark blue blazer [Bangkok], Fourth of July hat ring [Chatuchak...

Tulle Skirt and Tousled Hair
The lovely Je of Hurricane Kitty called the shots for a photo shoot featuring Tumblr Fashion Bloggers. I thought the theme “Personal Style” was effortless but it was unpredictably mind-boggling to come up with an ensemble that would define no one else but me. If you have been following my blog, you may have noticed how I am addicted to anything with the Union Jack. Thus, I seized my...

Strutting on Sunshine x Thrift Chic
Purely punctual on the sunup of January 7th at the grounds of UP, Kayra and I had too much time to spare. After chilling like villains and chit-chatting for hours, boredom struck. Thus, we decided to take a stroll outdoors, prancing around in heels whilst posing for the camera in each spot we thought looked pretty. Not at all a monotonous moment took place with this cheerful and charming girl...

Thai Holiday
The sunup after Christmas Day, my family and I set off to our most loved getaway destination. This country just has its way of drawing us in at the most unexpected times. Here are spontaneous snapshots from my spree to Bangkok, Thailand last December 26th. Not a single outfit snap as I was too engaged in shopping and threw on the comfiest threads for our whole holiday. :D

Once Upon a Stylish Day
Here are some outtakes from the stylish day I had last January 7th at the prominent University of the Philippines. I had a wonderful time getting to know these lovely ladies who share the same passion as I do. There’s just always something new to learn from different people with their different perceptions towards fashion. Merci beaucoup to Adly and Chai for some of the photos! :)

Classically Chic
The sultriness of a see through top may be toned down by layering it with a bulky bib necklace. Contemporary fabrics of delicate lace and embroidered denim thrown with timeless pieces such as a pair of classic black pumps along with a charming Chanel tote make up for an ensemble that is classically chic.
What I wore: Neon pink brassiere [Sister’s gift], White lace top, Turquoise cardigan...

Watermelon Hues
I decided to go for blissful color blocking on Christmas day, with vibrant hues inspired from the astounding Anastasia of Lookbook.nu. I added the violet tinted clutch for an additional pop of color and kept everything else simple and subtle, from my white lace top to my nude colored heels.
What I wore: Lace top with frills, Green trousers, Hot pink military blazer and Violet croc-stamped...

All Grown Up
My elder sisters have pointed out as to how I appear like a grown up girl in this set of photographs. Perhaps it is the unusual instance of me wearing jeans or perhaps it is the look of my tousled tresses that I have come to adore. Either way, donning full length bottoms was a breath of fresh air for me. Thus, this will positively be converted into a more frequent occurrence.

'Tis the Season to Sparkle
It’s basically about turning heads these times by bringing audacious hues, unique embellishments or stylish textures into play. Sequins have made a considerable comeback as a fashion in-thing which jogged my memory of this shiny baby that has been rotting in my closet. The cheerful occurrence that was Christmas was my ideal time to rock a silver sequin blazer that added a great deal of glitz and...

Four Seasons
A shirt and shorts getup is nothing but stereotyped. In spite of this, one may spruce it up by breathing into quintessential elements such as lace threads, gold glitzy shoes and a fab fedora hat. And just because I couldn’t get enough of the faux leaf earring that MARiS sent me, I used it as the finishing touch to my chic and casual ensemble. Merci beaucoup once again, Mika! :)

Risky Business
I’ve had fickle ruminations on hopping onto the dip dye bandwagon but I was always too afraid to try. The thought of any striking shade on the tips of my tresses were both exciting and reckless at the same time so I always ended up shrugging it off… Until one night when I found a can of hot pink hairspray lying around the house. Thank goodness it was washable.
What I wore: Black...

Penguin Made of Sequins
♫ It’s the most beautiful time of the year. Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer.
I’ve had the longest last song syndrome over Justin Bieber’s song, Mistletoe and so it has influenced my mood whilst dressing up last December 5th. The shiny, shimmering flecks on my top along with my festival red beanie positively brought everybody around me some much needed Christmas...

Sweet Like Candy
Here goes another casual getup that is just about apparent of how devoted I am to dressing daintily. After all, what’s more charming than shades of coral, patterns of lace and floral?
P.S. Ain’t my backdrop sweet looking? To tell the truth, it is! Completely made up of real candies, Palms Country Club’s gingerbread castle was too endearing for words.
