Frisky in Faux Fur

image

Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall- don’t you wish that the Philippines had four seasons instead of just two? I do. It’s simply more exciting to dress up in line with the weather. Lots of layers in the winter, stripped down to daisy dukes during the summer… but what to wear in between these opposing seasons, you may ask?

It was mid-fall when we arrived in California. Not too chilly and not too humid, the gentle wind was perfect with the welcoming winter atmosphere. But just because it wasn’t winter yet, it didn’t mean that I couldn’t dress myself in faux fur, right? I thought to myself, snatching this tasteful piece of clothing from my mother’s luggage.

There is purely something sophisticated about this fine fabric; something that reminds me of a well-dressed, 1970s mademoiselle. Feeling this refined sentiment, I pulled my hair back into a high ponytail, put on pretty pearl earrings and the chic pair of color blocking heels that I have acquired just the day before. Glancing at my reflection before heading out, I realized; I don’t play favorites but this ensemble has got to be on the list!

Fun fact: Orly’s Nail Lacquer in Frisky is my all-time preferred polish for my toenails. It’s a brilliant shade of teal that I can’t refuse to give in to whenever I go for Package One at my happy place, Nail It! Salon.

Dress Up Doll

If there is one pop icon that I would never outgrow, it would most probably be Barbie. Not only has the dazzling doll taken over the toy stores, but she has also developed into a fashion muse for girls of all ages. Her signature style that is fun and feminine was the peg used to create this girly get up of mine. Now, I can’t wait to wear more looks inspired by Barbie herself!

In Full Bloom

Back when I was still a little kid, I was fond of picking flowers and turning them into crowns. I would prance around feeling like a princess and I would show them off until they wilted. This season’s in-thing definitely brings back memories of my childhood, as floral crowns are having their fashionable fame these days. 

On to my ensemble, I went for floral on floral by donning this beautiful bustier dress thoughtfully sent by Love Humbly Shop. I love how its fit sculpted my positive features faultlessly, therefore producing a striking and slim silhouette.

My phone wonderfully went from Plain to Pizzazz, thanks to Shali’s delightful iPhone decal and Berry Couture’s flower ear plug!

Retro Kaleidoscope

Fearless geometrical lines, bold color combinations and a playful flaunting of shapes and patterns have taken the designer runway by storm. I decided to hop on the Aztec bandwagon by donning this trendy tribal print dress, thoughtfully sent by Naleigh. I adore how it simply shows that I’m having fun with fashion and how it is able to make such an impact on its own. 

Adding on natural accessories such as feathers and leaves put together a beautiful bohemian ensemble. 

Joining the (arm) party is twice as fun with these bright-as-can-be neon bracelets from Young Wild Free, Mademoiselle by TiSh and Bedazzle Accessories! Merci beaucoup to Cat, Shayne and Tin for thoughtfully sending me these. :)
