Bohemian Spirit

Dress colored in red and blue bohemian prints paired with a floral crochet shrug and a red beaded bracelet gives off that sweet modern day vintage look. I felt the gypsy vibes while wearing this outfit. It isn't a bad thing to be in a hippie outfit as long as you don't over do it. 

Before, I only enjoy looking at Bohemian fashion on the magazines and runways but I haven't had the courage to wear one until I found this above-the-knee dress in Forever 21. At first, I thought that the boho-look isn't something to wear in public then I said to myself "Why not gear up a new suit?"  So, I tried it on and to my surprise, I liked it.

Even though this boho-look isn't really my favorite style, it was nice to wear something you never imagined you'd try on for. After all, trying out new things could give you the feeling of delight. 

Being that boho-chic during summer is absolutely daring, fun and awesome. 

Oh and another thing, while it's summer, going out in bold colors isn't a problem at all. 

Here in the Philipppines, summer will end in 2 weeks and school will start again. This might be my last summer outfit post but I will be back with back-to-school outfits. Stay tuned! :)

Red Sandals

Hello there! :D 

The pictures posted below were taken inside Serendra 2 condominiums. We once lived there and we might live there again after 'asdfghjkl' years. I don't know exactly when. 

Scroll down to know more about my outfit! :) 

I'm having one of those lazy days again. That's why I just paired up my simple floral printed tee with black shorts and red sandals. My footwear emphasized my silver polished nails! 

I had no accessories on, I didn't even brought a clip with me. I am aware that this is a very simple outfit but I just realized that being simple is also attractive. It's nice to be simple once in a while. Also, you could be very comfortable with yourself which leads to easily expressing who you really are. 

It's summer! So you are free to expose your toenails by wearing sandals! This season won't last long, so I recommend that you should polish your nails with daring colors like aqua or tangerine orange. You could even go for glitters or sophisticated nail arts! When summer ends, you might feel a little embarrassed wearing such nail-polish. 

Are you familiar with Marilyn Monroe's quote about shoes? She said "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world." By the way, Marilyn is one of my inspirations. She's confident, intelligent which adds to the fact that she's perfect in my eyes and I really want to be like her. Going back to my point, the sandals is the main attraction of my outfit, not my top. Its' strap is very easy to see because red is a popping color. It consists of both a dark and bright complexion which makes it an interesting color for the eye. In conclusion, wearing a red top could make you the center of attraction in a large crowd. 

I really like wearing sandals because I could easily walk or run swiftly on it. I guess this is the right shoes for me because I felt explicit and at the same time relaxed. I didn't get that annoying ouch-y feeling whenever I wear closed wedges or heels. I was really able to smile and be myself. I think that's what Marilyn Monroe is trying to say. 

OH NO! I was caught smiling by myself :)) HAHA! :D

Thank you very much for reading! I hope that you could find the right shoes for you! Also remember that the most beautiful make-up of a woman is her smile and simplicity. :)

Purple Overload

Bonjour! Paris, France is the place where I want to go but unfortunately, I cant :( 

That's why I just bought a crop tee with the Eiffel Tower on it. 

On the other hand, I have my review classes in Academic gateway at Torre Lorenzo from 8 am to 12:30 pm.  Usually we are exhausted and tired after classes, that's why my friend and I decided to go to Noriter, near La Salle, Taft and we had our lunch there last May 25, 2013. We ordered banana split and sandwich. After eating it, we were delighted because it was absolutely delicious. By the way, they don't offer a lot of pastries or snacks.  

Noriter is a Korean themed coffee shop and it has a cozy aura. You could sit or even lie down on the matted wooden floor while drinking your coffee.A lot of students in Taft  especially young couples would chill there after a tiring class.

Have you ever felt the heat caused by the blistering sun? It's making me sweat to death! Summer is one of my favorite seasons because this is the time where you could travel, go out with your friends or family and nights get longer but the intense temperature is bothering me. That's why I wore a very thin cotton crop tee and I felt very refreshed because I could easily feel the wind's breeze.

 For me, it's a summer must have to own a top with a dream destination on it because summer is all about vacations and getaways but you couldn't travel the whole world in just two months, right? Keeping such top  would  make me remember my this year's summer dream  destination . It's  a good remembrance. So that when I grow up I'll reminisce about it, strive hard to earn then I could finally explore the beautiful city of Paris. I just hope it works that way. Enough about that, let me proceed to my outfit. 

A crop tee and denim shorts is one of the outfits your wardrobe needs for summer. It's suitable for the beach, mall, park or wherever you want to chill out. It's also recommendable for the adventurous girls. If  you want to go for a zipline ride/horseback riding or any exciting activity, this outfit  makes you look chic while being relaxed and without trying hard. 

I picked purple because it has a warm and cool aura which is perfect for summer. Purple used to be a color for the elites only which represents luxury, wealth and royalty, that is the reason why purple expresses sophistication. It also has a feminine and romantic appeal. Another thing, during summer, you could wear any pastel or neon color that you want, you could even wear orange without hesitation. Therefore, colorful clothes are occupying my closet and I adore it so much because it's not boring to look at anymore. That's why I love summer. 

I matched my outfit with flats so that I could walk easily. 

I added a purple gem bracelet to give it a more girly look.

White meets brown

Aloha everybody!

I know that I haven't posted for a while due to my hectic schedule but let's look on the bright side, here's another summer outfit post.

As I've mentioned from my previous post, my family and I had a quick summer getaway. Here are photos taken from our vacation in Tagaytay. The splendid and stunning backgrounds were from People's Park in the Sky. 

 Neat, tidy, and slightly pure describes the whole of this outfit. My high-tied ponytail just adds a tinge more neatness to the outfit. The color white makes the tan-colored skin tones brighter, in a sense that it looks much more lighter and glowing. A white floral crochet top gives off a retro taste, giving off a much more curious look to the outfit. It isn't as pure as white due to my brown shoulder bag, shades and wedge because sticking to one color is boring. I also wanted to give my outfit a pop. Actually when your clothing consists of a very neutral color (like white for example) it's easy pair it with another neutral color (like brown). Though it is best recommended if you it is not paired with a variety of colors or it would look very silly on your part. Two colors combined is enough. I remembered before, one of my Science teachers used to say that white reflects heat while black absorbs it. That is the reason why black or any other dark colors disappear when summer arrives. 

(I know that I repeated my wedge from my previous post but I guess there's no harm in doing that.) 

(Rear view of the outfit; right next to me is my cousin!) 

I hope you liked this outfit! Thank you very much for reading.

Three in one polo

It seems so hot here in Manila so we decided to go out of town, to a much cooler place. Last May 5, 2013, my family and I went to a rest house in Tagaytay to relax and bond. This is the outfit I wore while we were on the road. Tagaytay is a very relaxing place. So if you're stressed out, Tagaytay is one of the destinations you should go to. Even though it's summer, the cool temperature in Tagaytay would make you think less of the hot atmosphere. Alright, enough about Tagaytay and let's proceed to the outfit.

(This is not part of the rest house, okay? This is part of our house in Makati. By the way, I'm sorry for my ugly feet which is full of veins. That's just one of the effects of dancing.)

If you are a petite, like me, this could be the outfit for you. My little secret to look a little taller is to show off your legs and pair them up with nude heels, wedge, stilletos or pumps. In this way, you could trick people by making them think that you've grown taller! It's a great illusion.

In this outfit, I experimented a little. I took out my mom's white patterned long sleeved polo and made it look like a cardigan. I just rolled up the sleeves, left it unbuttoned, and wore it to pair my sleeveless dress. My outfit is now finally complete, thanks to the polo!
 Be creative and artistic, let your imaginations take you to create something new. Don't ever think that a specific piece of clothing is only limited to that category.
Another plus of this easy outfit is that it's a great fit for summer. The polo is made out of cotton, so it's thin, soft, and easy to wear. The top part of dress' floral and orange design adds to the season's look.

When traveling, I make it a point to wear a watch in order to keep track of the time. It doesn't only add to the outfit but it is also useful. It's one of my must-haves whenever I visit a place because I keep on exploring every area on that destination. I made it a habit to see every beautiful spot before I leave.  

Your polo doesn't only stop at being a cardigan but you could also make it look like a blazer by simply tying both ends. It's amazing that you can reuse your polo into both a cardigan and a blazer, maybe even much more than that. Always remember that your polo isn't only a polo; that goes with your other clothes as well. As you experiment, you'll realize that you're not only saving money but you're also saving up space in your wardrobe.

Thank you very much for reading! I hope you like it! I'll make a post about our trip in Tagaytay and the beautiful spots we went to especially the part where we were sight seeing Taal Volcano.

Rompers to save your lazy day!

As promised from my previous post, I will upload summer outfit ideas and this is the first one. I am so sorry for the low quality. I just used a regular digital camera for this, so forgive me. 

Rompers, it's a life saver for a lazy day! If you have no idea what outfit to wear and your time is running out while you're staring in the closet, don't freak out because rompers were specially made to help you out. It's versatile and absolutely stunning to wear. My is probably perfect wear for the beach but it could also be worn to the mall, park or other places to chill out and beat the heat. Obviously, this outfit is not usually very appropriate for formal events but don't worry because there are also rompers designed for such occasions. 

It's simple, easy to wear and very fashionable. The simple clothing could be paired up with any type of accessories (like jewelries and such) and then finished with any type of shoe you desire. You're already good to go!

I matched my blue abstract cotton rompers with a light weight beaded bracelet and a pair of sandals. I chose ocean blue because it's a much easier and cooler color.  

I bought this bracelet from a boutique in Vigan, Illocos and it only costs fifty pesos (P50)! 

It's very cheap but the material and product is very rich.

That's when I realized that you don't have to spend huge amounts of cash for a signature outfit or an accessory. 

The black flower of my sandals adds the slightly girly touch. 

Artistic, girly, and simple, that seems to be the personality of my outfit for today. 

Thank you very much for reading! I hope you liked it too!

Happy summer to everybody!

A Day in Enchanted (A Throwback Post)

"Adventure awaits in Enchanted ."

One of the most visited places in Santa Rosa, Laguna is the amusement park called "Enchanted Kingdom".   The pictures posted below were taken years ago, dated December 20, 2010  

  Some people would wonder if you could be sporty and adventurous yet maintaining that chic and pretty look all at the same time. I'd  definitely say yes, that could happen. Even if you don't have any accessories on, you could still look fab!

 A pair of customized sandals could do the trick to make you look chic. In my case, I was using a black gladiator sandals to match my Kipling shoulder bag and my black top. A plain white collared t-shirt together with a black sleeveless top makes you look ready for an adventure ahead. The colors black and white create such an amazing color combo. Plus, the collared shirt and the shoulder bag I'm carrying creates such a sporty and adventurous look. (Take note that not all shoulder bags could give you that sporty look, some could give you a very sophisticated look.) The last piece of clothing to top off this outfit is the denim shorts. Denim shorts could be matched with anything, be it printed or graphic tees, cardigans, blouses, or just a plain tank top. It's a definite must-have in your wardrobe.

As you can see, the outfit I'm wearing is very comfortable yet I was able to maintain an adventurous and sporty look without being too boyish. So who says you can't achieve that three-in-one look?

(My little sister also wearing her three-in-one look.)

This is my first ever blog post and I hope you liked it too as much as I had fun writing it. It's really nice to reminisce the Christmas season because right now, the Philippines is suffering from the hot atmosphere caused by summer. I'll be back with new summer outfit posts! Stay tuned.

Love,
