Say Goodbye



When I first saw this sweater, I instantly fell inlove with it. Maybe it was because of the color, or the statement, or maybe both that I've bought it impulsively not thinking if I can wear it here in the Philippines when it's 35 degrees hot. (In my defense the color of this sweater is the color of the year)

Dreaming


I've always wanted to be a model but I've never been the pretty one. I'm just your average girl with her own set of flaws. I'm no different than anyone. For the past few years I've made a fool of myself thinking that I'm not good enough. I've learned to accept somehow by just laughing it off.

Dog days are over


When I was a kid I always dreamed of being a cowgirl and maybe this outfit is a sign. I can just picture it. Me, everyday in checkered shirts and boots. All I need now is a hat and I can be an authentic cowgirl what do you think?

Boots-all-day-month

 
I know it's been a long time since I put up a new blog post but then school has been hectic. A lot has happened but and it's only the first term. So for now that my schedules not so much hectic as before, here's a not so new outfit that's perfect for the ber months or in my case the boots-all-day months!

The Color of Trees


I admit parkas aren't really for Philippine weather but when it rains wearing a parka is bearable I swear! I've been waiting for a time when I can wear these type of jackets but because I am a very impatient woman. I decided to wear it now. It's not as hot as you think when you wear it I promise especially when you wear it at night. I also wanted to wear it because I've been dreaming of a bit of military inspired outfit.

So where can I get a time machine?



When I was checking my closet for what to wear and I realized that I have so much clothes that I haven't even worn half of it, I decided that everytime I go somewhere I would wear something that I haven't worn or I haven't worn in a long time.

Rainy days and raincoats


When you live in a place where it rains even on a sunny day, it's good to be prepared with a good old fashion raincoat. But in this generation where fashion continues to evolve, you got to admit raincoats aren't really fashionable right? Well.....wrong!

Colors of Summer


Technically summer has already ended here in the Philippines because it's already the start of June but since I couldn't get over that in fact summer is ending and I have to start my senior year in high school (it's shocking I know), here's my last hurrah wearing a summer outfit.

What you see is what you get


If I had gone to close up forever summer, I would've worn this but I didn't. Honestly, I'm not the type of girl who likes going to concerts, I'm more of the type to just read a book in a cozy cafe drinking coffee or tea. Before you say something I just want to say that I already know what you're thinking. I'm boring. I'm just the kind of person who doesn't like loud and stuffy events.

This is what I call vintage


After seeing the jumpers that one of my favorite bloggers, Luanna of  www.le-happy.com had been posting, I was pretty determined to find the perfect jumper for myself. Alas I had found it, not in any old clothing stores (because that would be too common) but in my aunt’s attic where she was finding clothes to be sold in a garage sale. I swear to God my mom and my aunt have amazing clothing. When I find one of their clothing I usually keep it for myself (after I ask for their permission of course)

Tie dyes and capris


Here’s a post from a random review day wearing random clothing that when put together they make a great outfit. I wasn't really planning on posting this outfit but when I had an opportunity to do a shoot in an indoor parking lot with great lighting, well what the heck let’s do this thing!

If the shoe fits




I'd like you all to meet one of my two new babies (shoes). Here's how we met: I was searching for the perfect sandals in hong kong but wherever I go, I couldn't seem to find The One. I was actually getting ready to give up on finding one (yes I know it's only a sandal but I really love shoes) but when I went to Topshop and saw a hallway full of shoes, let's just say I went a little crazy after that. Long story short I've met the one with him (yes it's a him) sitting in the middle of all the shoe racks just waiting for me.

Playing princess for a day


Every year my plans on my birthday never really go as I had planned it to be. There's always drama at first but then everything calms and all is well. Honestly.....I'm actually the problem. I've always wanted my birthday to be perfect that I've almost ruin it for me every year. Luckily, my family reminds me that I just have to relax and you know, just have fun.

Retro look


Supposedly this outfit is perfect to be used by the bay area but due to circumstances I had to shoot it here which by the way I think went better than I had imagined. The pictures maybe a little dark but I think it gives that calming vibe that goes well with the outfit.

Colors and blurry pictures



One person had commented on one of my posts and it really made me ponder on what I have been doing. I was too caught up in pleasing everyone that I've decided to do basic outfits when it's not really me. It maybe nice once in a while to wear them but what I really like are colors, lot's of colors, and today's blog is about the beauty of mixing colors in one's outfits.

Polka dots


Coordinates are all the rage right now this summer. Not only because it's very comfortable but it's also perfect for those days when you can't think of an outfit to wear because it's already a set so all you have to do is pair it with sneakers, flats or any type of shoes that you want and you're good to go.

Summers and tutus



I love wearing tutus. I always feel like a princess wearing one. It's actually very easy to style because you can wear it with almost any tops. I chose to wear it with this knitted halter top that I got from my mom and I absolutely adore how the colors match.

Take me with you




Oh how I wished I could go to Coachella....too bad I'm from the other side of the world and I wouldn't afford to go to the US just for it. Maybe I could go to Coachella after like 10 years or so? In the mean time I'll be here wearing Coachella inspired outfits just for the heck of it and maybe just maybe I would magically have a ticket to going the US.

Gradient

I didn't actually think that a gradient outfit would work. It never actually crossed my mind until the day I worn this outfit. It's like love at first sight. Not to exaggerate but I don't know. I can't really explain the feeling, it's like when you first try on an outfit and all you can just say is "wow"? Well...that's the feeling.

In having a gradient outfit, you literally have to have a gradient piece of clothing may it be jeans, skirt or even a dress. I was lucky I found those pants in Cotton On because it's also very comfy! I paired those pants with a denim croptop from Guess which honestly was actually a top of mine when I was a kid (I was actually shocked that it still fits) Good thing I still kept it because I honestly think that kid's clothing can be used as a cute croptop with all its cute and artsy designs! And you know just to make this outfit simple I paired it with my white Cotton On flats.

Till the next post!

Rainy summer day


It's the start of summer but it doesn't really feel like it. Gone are the days of stress eating and sleepless nights (well not really cause who sleeps at night) But with school gone, summer had welcome us with an unusually cold weather. It's weird how mother nature works nowadays. Even if it's so bright and sunny outside, it suddenly rains.

Lost in the city


Have you ever wondered what it feels like to rome around the city wearing a gown? Well I did. 
A few days before prom, I decided to have a photoshoot in Bonifacio High Street. Not just any photoshoots with day to day outfits but I had my gown photoshoot. It was kind of a spur in the moment thing for me when I just thought why not have a photoshoot in the middle of street wearing a gown? 

And that's how this started.....

Those days


Do you have those days when you just want your day to be perfect but it didn't? Well this was one of those days. Prom wasn't what I expected it to be. I guess I just had a lot of expectations for that night that I ended up disappointed. But you know what? I had a realization. I was too busy preparing for that night that I've forgotten what prom is really for. Prom isn't just about dressing up and feeling like a princess. It's about spending time with your friends and experiencing that moment together where you just have fun and let loose on the dance floor.

Pretending


Sometimes I like to pretend I'm someone else like pretending to be Kylie Jenner because it's easier to portray other people than portraying your own self. It's easier to just pretend and not have to face the reality of life. I often wonder what it feels like to be in someone else's shoes. I've thought of that question a lot and I always ended up feeling bad about myself......until an epiphany happened.

Oversized cardigans



Two words. Oversized. Cardigans. It's something I want to wear so badly but I can't because of the weather here in the Philippines. I bought an oversized cardigan from The Greenlane Shop a long time ago and I've never really worn it out except for school. Finally I got to wear it the other weekend in Tagaytay cause trust me if you're planning to go there, you should really bring a thick jacket because of the cold air.

Knee high socks





Almost all my friends have went to Baguio and Tagaytay for the holidays and I'm secretly jealous because in this time of the year it's very cold up there and I've been wanting to wear autumn and winter clothing for so long now. When I heard that we were going to Tagaytay I've immediately started planning on what I'd be wearing. I was that excited.

Let me just start by greeting you all a Happy New Year! It's the start of 2015 and I'm scared yet excited for what's in store for me this year. I hope this year will be awesome.

The late year ender special



Out with the old, in with the new. 2014 had been one hell of a year. Well not really but with all the stress and the problems this year I'm ready to start over. But with all that said, it was also a great year full of realizations and friendships.
