Bloggers United 4

ACK! It's time to share my first Bloggers United experience. 

This is very exciting for me since I have been waiting for that time to finally see my favorite filipino fashion bloggers and I'm so happy I finally met them in personal. I think I have been good this year that's why Santa gave me an early christmas gift :)

Let me just describe my feelings that day. So it was a Saturday and annoyingly, we have a class from 11am-3pm so I have to wait anxiously the whole period not even listening to a word my professor is saying, that's how excited I am. 

As soon as we were dismissed(My prof bare with me and dismissed us early), I squeaked and literally were so anxious to get home. We went to the World Trade Center as fast as we can. There's like this little aisle that we have to walk through to get to the Bloggers United area and I was shaking the whole time. I began to see familiar faces and I was like smiling and just wanted to pinch myself just to make sure I'm not dreaming LOL. We decided to spend a good half hour just to take picture with all the bloggers and collect ourselves from the shock that day brought. Anyway too much excitement here, I think I just have to let the pictures speak for themselves. 

Camille Co of Camille tries to Blog

Camille was actually late from work but then as soon as she arrived, she began to entertain all of her fans and took pictures and interacted with them. She was so sweet and very down to earth. Seeing her is definitely the perfect way to end the year 2012.

Laureen uy of Break My Style

Kryz Uy of Thirsty Thought

David Guison

Lissa Kahayon of Scene Stealer

I just have to take a picture with them together. They are so cute !

Patricia Prieto of Paradigma

I really like Patricia's style(Wow close! Kung maka-first name basis naman! LOL). We don't share the same style but I think she is the only blogger that has a really defined style and I adore her for that.

Ashley Dy of Candy Kawaii Lover

Ashley was actually a Japan-based fashion blogger and I'm not very sure but I think at every Bloggers United there is at least one foreign blogger to join the event. 

Kookie Buhain of Death by Platforms

Miss Kookie definitely has the best collection of statement shoes :) I actually bought my only purchase from her. 

Dani Baretto of Style is Eternal

Bjorn Bedayo

I love that our outfits look so cohesive :) He is a very talented blogger and I love his very preppy style. 

Tracy Ayson 

Nicole Santos

Alyssa Lapid

And look who's there to shop! Jeron Teng, a player from the other side LOL

Can you guess which of these two shoes I ended up buying? 

And that's my BU4 experience. At the end it's not about the idea of shopping clothes from bloggers but seeing them in their human form. Wow, that came out wrong. What I'm trying to say is, when I look at their blogs and read their entries I have the feeling that I can't reach them but after this day, I now knew that they are normal people who just loves doing what they do.

P.S. More on my outfit in my next post!

Marshall, your apartment is crooked!

Last Saturday, my brother and I decided to watch the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. It's what everybody has been talking about in our class the day the movie was screened so they have been giving away the best parts and I just didn't take it anymore so we watched it on the second day of showing. I must say, it's great movie, epic ending and amazing plot.   

Before we talk about the outfit, let me explain to you my title first. Seeing the first picture below? Did you notice something regarding the floor? Yes, the parking floor is crooked! Haha, this reminds me about one particular episode in the How I Met Your Mother Series, hence, the title. I really adore that show. But honestly, their latest season is a little disappointing. I was expecting more out of it because  it's their season finale. Well,  I'm not sure of it so don't quote me on that. Some HIMYM fans out there might hate on me LOL. It's just such a bummer. Nonetheless, I am still a fan and I still want to find out who The Mother is.  If you're an avid fan of HIMYM like me, let me know what you think of the first seven episodes of season eight?  

Moving on, this outfit is an example of a subtle mixing of prints, exhibited by  my top and skirt. I think this is a more classic take on the print on print trend. To jazz it up a little bit, I used my gold kinda oxford shoes. These shoes reminds me of something Camille Co would wear, don't you think so too? 

Top: Thrifted | Skirt: Thrifted

My hair looks so healthy here, I wish it's always like this. 

Bag: Divisoria

Necklace: Accessorize

Accessories-wise, I think I always stick to the line Less is More. I'm not saying I'm against accessorizing or for some excessorizing, actually, I adore accessories. Its just that, on days like this, it's just better to keep it simple. And when the need arises, I'll put my accessories on, and bring it! LOL

Oxford shoes: Trunkshow (Divisoria)

And it's a wrap! This outfit is probably one of my favorite.  It's comfortable and classy, just the way I like it. 

P.S. I just did a haul video on my youtube channel, check it out if you want to :)

What do you think of my outfit?

Another entry featuring pants you guys! But this time let's talk about the Oxford Shoes!

I believe this kind of shoes are not for everybody's liking. Me myself didn't immediately adore this trend. When oxfords first went out the market I was definitely not a fan. I thought it was too masculine, hard to wear out and it's a puzzle pairing it with my current wardrobe. But then, as I see a lot of it on magazines, fashion media sites and even on hollywood celebrities I eventually liked it, then loved it and now I'm obsessed with it LOL. I can simply say that if I were a shoe I would be a pair of oxford shoes.

Oxford shoes/brogues whatever you want to call it is a classic piece for all women to have.

Here I featured my beige oxford shoes!

Since we went out at night I thought it would be more appropriate to wear pants, you know to avoid lookers and to be warm as well. The key to wear oxfords with pants is to make sure that your ankle bone is seen. This makes your legs longer because it doesn't cut your body in the leg part. 

Top: Thrifted | Cardi: Thrifted(Uniqlo)

Isn't this top lovely? Look at that detail up there, it's a poodle! I know it's a very minute detail but these is the reason why I bought it in the first place and of course the collar itself. A bonus feature is the pastel color! 

Bag: Thrifted

Oxford Shoes: Forever 21

I decided to collect oxford shoes in all colors coz' I just can't get enough of these!

If you do not have a pair yet, I suggest you should go buy one now LOL.

I mentioned in my previous posts that when I'm at the province, I run every morning. Then I thought why not also do it here.  But then If I were to run everyday, I have to wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning and I think I can't do that. Because first of all I'm not a morning person(for now!) and second is I always sleep late at night because that's the time I do all my businesses in the web. So the solution is.....(drumroll please).. to run at night! I tried it yesterday and it's not so bad. I think it is a perfect way to tire myself so I can sleep earlier to have a good 8 hours of sleep. I want to know your opinion about this. Is more advisable to run in the morning or at night, if were talking health-wise?

10 Must-have Wardrobe Basics

I finally decided to do this post, the 10 Must-have Wardrobe Basics. I know you can see a bunch of lists like this over the internet, but this is my personal opinion on what should be on all women/ girl's closet. 

I think you now know that I have a thing for blazers. I adore them for they give a casual look an *oomph and a polished outfit sophistication. Ideally, the must-have color for a blazer is black, but for me, navy blue is also an essential. 

Jeans have been among us since the 18th century and I think or more likely I believe that it will never go out of style.  A woman should at least have one pair of perfect fitting dark wash jeans. Why dark wash you might ask? Among all the washes of jeans, the dark wash seems to portray different kind of style and is the classic blue jeans.

As I say, you can never have enough white shirts. White top with a bow, a simple buttoned down, peter-pan collared top, normal sleeves, quarter sleeves, long sleeve, you can have it all, and it's never a regret to buy them.

I think everyone will agree with me on this one, the ultimate LBD or the little black dress. Every woman should have an LBD, whether it's a shift dress, a skater dress, a tight-fitting dress it can give you that elegant and class.  I think that the LBD is the living proof of the saying Simplicity is Beauty.

Of course we cannot forget the shoes, right ladies? To go with your little back dress, you should have you little black shoes LOL. It s the mother of all basic shoes and I'll go ahead and call it as the all-purpose shoes.  It can be casual or dressy and can depict different kinds of style. On the other hand, nude shoes I think is worthy enough to be called a must-have. It's for those ladies who prefers its light presence rather than the black one. But either shoes can give you what you want in an outfit. I myself  have been lusting for a nude heels sometime now, and I haven't found the perfect one, even though I know it doesn't exist. 

For those ladies out there who can't stand a day wearing heels, well I also got some basic flats for you. Many say that flats are never a pride of the fashion industry but then fashion should not always be about style/trend, it should also consider comfort, because that's the reason why these clothes are invented anyway. Anyway, stick with the basic colors and you're good to go.

Shorts-wise,  highwaisted is the word. I remember those times that shorts are only used when lounging at home. But now, whether you're going for casual or dressier looks,  shorts can now be there for usage. But for me, I'm not totally over the fact that shorts were used only for your family/housemates to see. But eventually I see that shorts, high-waisted shorts specifically can be decent enough to be worn outside the house. And a few must-have are a black,red. navy blue and khaki high-waisted shorts, and of course a denim high-waisted shorts. 

Basic tees, I think I don't need to explain this. It's a must-have and it's always going to be a must-have.

I think we all have denim jackets we're been hiding inside our cabinets.  Well, it's time to get those babies out because it is now considered as a basic piece, I think it always have been. Anyway, a denim jacket is an essential because it can be worn on all season, in any country, and in any time zone LOL.  

And finally, skirts! Skirts are my recently discovered obsession. Again, you can never go wrong with a simple black skirt but also then again a navy-blue one can be as essential.
