Lazy Daisy

Waking up on a monotonous Friday turned me into a lazy daisy dresser. I nonchalantly grabbed the first top and bottom that I laid my eyes on from my closet. In truth, I was giddy that they went well together. Stripes and florals, who would’ve thought?

;)

Fluorescent Adolescent

As I chanced upon this simple sweater in my closet, I assumed it as an agreeable canvas to incorporate with my neon pieces that have been waiting to be worn forever. Monochromatic fabrics are easy peasy to be mixed and matched with vivid colored accessories. This is what I wore to a Wednesday out with my best friends. ;)

Elegant Meets Eclectic

I have always been enamored by the dripping Chanel design. I perceive it as the decorous dose of elegant meets eclectic, something that can be attributed to my own personal style. In this ensemble, I breathed into bohemian chic by donning faddish feathered pieces plus a flowy maxi skirt in a bold brilliance of blue. ;)

P.S. I totes regret not purchasing the dripping Chanel necklace I caught sight of during my trip to Japan. Does anyone know if it’s available anywhere in Manila? :)

Walk, Walk Fashion Baby

Beauteous beings clad in smart casual attires, dainty dresses, preppy leg wear and different colored satchels dominated White Space’s catwalk last October 18th during the momentous Multiply Shopping Party. I could not help but be smitten with the candy colored satchels specially and I am planning to purchase one soon. Thanks to Multiply’s brand new shopping platform, online shopping just got a lot more convenient! ;)

Feathers, Florals and Studs

I mixed the femininity of floral prints with the edginess of gold studs for a movie night out at Rockwell with my siblings. Apple green and tangerine hued accessories infused just the right amount of popping razzle dazzle to the whole ensemble. <3

If the Choo Fits

I had the bliss to make the scene as the celebrated brand, Jimmy Choo, launched its first ever fragrance last October 11th. As I have envisaged, Jimmy Choo’s foremost fragrance is contrived with strong passion and elegance, purely exhibiting an alluring lass who is fearless to steal the spotlight and who is most likely to lay down a lucid whiff of her essence in any time and any place. ;)

image

Merci beaucoup to Marla of Prestige Brands Philippines for having me in this exquisite event. <3

The engagingly eccentric Tessa Prieto-Valdes served as the afternoon’s host.

Easy Come, Easy Go

Here is an easy-going ensemble perfect for a lighthearted Sunday afternoon lounging by the pool. Salmon is such a comely color, plus the scallop structures on my top were too pretty to pass up. Capping off my laid-back look are my favorite sweetheart sunglasses! ;)

Basics and Burberry

Stumbling upon this Burberry polo as I was browsing through random racks in a thrift shop, I fell in love at first sight. Regardless of it being a tad bit pricey, I didn’t want to let it go. I initially reckoned on wearing it alone as a dress and cinching it with a belt but I figured it was sorta revealing for school. Thus, I decided to don it with the basics; a shirt and denim shorts. Orange accents equipped the whole ensemble and I took my cushy wedges out for a spin. ;)

What I wore: Fifi Lapin graphic printed shirt, Denim shorts and Orange H belt [Bangkok], Burberry button down shirt [Thrifted], Vampire fangs connector ring [Random], Gold magician hat and Gold tiger head ring [Chatuchak Weekend Market Bkk], Gray chain bag with padlock detail and Black and gray wedges with zipper details [Hong Kong]

High Heels and Hangovers

As last Saturday night rolled in, it was the perfect point to raise the roof and revel with my three amigas; Absolut, Jose Cuervo and Therese. “Ziz! Distillery g?” read my best friend’s text message and ten minutes later, I perceived myself all primped to paint the town red. I bow down to my younger sister’s speedy and stunning make up moxie! Look-see her beautiful blog here. ;)

Barbie Pink and Sunshine Yellow

I am veritably vivacious about the Color Blocking Trend. As the mischievous mademoiselle that I am, phosphorescently playful pigments run the show inside my closet and creating cheerful color palettes spontaneously sends me good vibes. Topping off my threads in this look, I established to excessorize with coordinately colorful accessories. ;)

Fri Day to Night

I dislike how my college compels an authoritative dress code policy. Now and again, I stress more on what to wear rather than on academic work. Nevertheless, rules are rules and it is a necessity to abide by them. Last Friday, I chanced upon this dainty dress in my closet. Becoming conscious of how short it looked on me, I decided to pair it with pants and voila! A conservative school ensemble. ;)

image

image

image

image

By nighttime, I eliminated my blue jeans and donned the dress for a dinner out at Blue Wave. Perfect day to night outfit, isn’t it?

image

image

What I wore: Pastel floral printed dress [Hong Kong], Denim high waisted pants with bow detail and Off white messenger bag [Bangkok], Cream blazer [Thrifted], Ice cream statement necklace [Accessorize], Pearls flower ring with rhinestones [Forever 21 Singapore], Love connector ring and Owl ring with pink rhinestones [Bought online], Michael Kors Rose Gold watch [Gift], Vintage Rayban sunglasses [Japan], Peach satin platform heels [Japan]

Dress like a Doll, Swear like a Sailor

Denim shorts are quintessential in every girl’s closet, remarkably with Manila’s oven like weather. If you want to stand out in a sea of austere blue jeans, a stylish psyche has concocted an equally stylish solution. Say hello to Emblazon, the brainchild of alluring Andrea Arenas. With a dose of deviation on top of her flair of hand painting, she flinged Anchors Away, her numero uno nautical-inspired collection. Merci beaucoup for the pretty presents, couzin! It sure is lovely to be Emblazoned. ;)

Dress Up, Dress Down

After merrymaking all night and merely getting sufficient shuteye, the snooze button wasn’t an option for my 8 o’clock am alarm last September 24th. Despite feeling and looking like a zombie, I was all vitalized to doll myself up and head to the Fashion 4.0 shoot. It was distinctly delightful to meet such beautiful people who were very easy to get along with. :)
