Red Carpet Ready

It's always been a challenge for me to dress for a debut or any occassion with the same concept, because 1)I have to see to it that I do not underdress or in other cases overdress 2)These type of occasssions always have themes you have to conform with. But amidst all those dilemmas I always end up with the most unusual pairings for an outfit which is not exactly a bad thing. 

Last October 25 was the debut of one of my bestfriends Leane, and she picked out Hollywood (or something like that, I'm a bit confused) as her theme. Originally I was going to wear a simple red dress, because that's the color that comes to my mind when I hear the word hollywood but unfortunately she excluded the color red for us to wear so I had no choice but to think of another outfit.

Since I do not have enough time to shop for a great dress, I just worked with what I got in my closet and bam! I got an incredible outfit.    

Dress: Thrifted | Top: Forever 21

If you have been watching my videos on youtube for awhile now (thank you!) , you have to know that this the dress is actually a tube top dress but since I don't have courage to wear it on its own I had to layer it with another top and honestly I liked it this more this way the the original dress itself. It made the dress more classy and sophisticated! 

(You can check out the individual pieces featured in my videos here and here) .

Shoes: Chic Label

I left all of my heels back here in Manila then, so there's another dilemma there. Luckily my Mom's boutique is just around the corner (Its literally around the corner of our house, LOL) so I have some pretty nice black heels to choose from, but in the end I settled for this black kitten heels. Again it has that very classy feel to it which goes perfectly with the outfit. 

( For those who want to visit my Mom's boutique, Chic Label,  you can e-mail me for details, that is if you live near me *evil laugh JK) 

Necklace: Claire's

Purse: Mom's Closet

I also took some photos of what my friends wore to give you more ideas on different styles you can also wear. 

You can go bold with cut outs like my friend Claudette! 

The "Little Black Dress" can also be a statement and like my friend Pia, you can also pull off an LBD since it's a very foolproof outfit. 

Hollywood is never complete without sparkles/ glitters, and wearing it is a great idea. You can wear a dress full on covered with sparkles or just do it subtly just like my friend Jen did. 

Classic silhouettes like a peplum dress can also work, and meet my friend Joane rocking one.

It was a very magical night, and I am very glad to hang out with my best friends again!   

Have a nice day. 

Be yourself! 

Fall Lookbook 2013

Philippines is a tropical country so the closest thing we have to cold weather is when it gets cold in December, but if we did have a Fall Season this is a set of outfits I would probably wear. I hope you all enjoy it! 

Have a nice day.

I'm back, for the nth time! I think we all know how this goes, I'll blog today and will be back after a month. I'll say sorry, then do it all over again. Well, can you blame me? Yes you can LOL.  And then I can blame my course(pharmacy) for being sooooo freaking ungenerous with time. 

Moving on! Last week, we celebrated my birthday, well it's a late celebration since my birthday was on July 29. Maybe I''ll talk about my actually happened on my birthday , but for now, let me tell you about what happened on the late celebration of my birthday with my family. We decided to vist the Our Lady of Manaoag to pray and give thanks for all the blessings that we are getting. 

Considering we're going to a sacred place, I opted to wear pants. Plus, I know I'll just be snoozing most of the time of travel since it's a four hour drive,  and I'm more comfortable with some pants on.

I paired my pant's with an equally decent top. I want to sport a very classy look so I went with this peterpan collar top. Then I added a bow to give it a youthful look.

I used a pair of loafers to continue with the classy vibe. And I also like how the print gives the outfit more oomph and character. 

To tie the look altogether, I used this turquoise bag that I absolutely love. Can you see that tassel over there? That's my favorite thing about it, besides it's color.

Then I just grabbed a bunch of bracelets that I think looks good with the outfit. And I came up with these three. I don't know why but I always gravitate towards the pearl bracelet whenever I go out.

Enjoy the long weekend for me because I would be spending my time studying for all the tests lined up for next week. But for now, I'll go out my friends and watch the "Sea of Monsters". Woot woot! 

Be yourself.

College Girl

I thought I'd blog first before diving on to a pile of homework that I have to do tonight, so lets do this!

 I just want to share you what I wore on the Pharma night held last tuesday. It's a variety show and a fashion show featuring different talents from the Faculty of Pharmacy. There are also numbers where our professors have to perform. It's amusing seeing them make a fool of themselves for a change, and I meant that in a good way :) 

I just want to have a good time hanging with my friends to I settled with pants instead of anything else. I went all out preppy and personally this can pass of as a college uniform. I would be so happy if this is going to be our uniform, Sooooo happy! LOL 

I went with my trusty ol' peter pan collar shirt to give it a more 'prim and proper' vibe. And for the final touch I tied a bow with the shirt. Can you imagine the outfit without the bow, it's just going to be a boring and mediocre outfit. Accessories-wise, I wanted to compliment the color navy with another dark color which is obviously, burgundy! I just love how they both look so rich and expensive. For shoes, nothing beats a classic, so I brought out my loafers once and for all. 

Top: Landmark | Trousers: Forever 21 | Shoes: Primadonna

Pearl Bracelet: Thrifted | Braided Bracelet: Simone's Closet

I would just have to say that this ensemble pretty much describes my style.

 So if I will ask you, what's your style?

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.

Have a good day!

That Sailor Moon Girl

An outfit I wore to chaperone my li'l brother to their family day event.  I was channeling my inner montessorian, and thought that if I were given the chance to reinvent the uniform of my alma mater, this outfit would be it, what do you think? Parang pang girl scout ata.

Obviously green was my school color but now, I'm proud to wear yellow, Goooooo tigers! Anyway, I want to use green as a part of my outfit and I am choosing to pair it between bright colors or darker hues. I decided to go dark since the weather that day is kind of gloomy and I made a good decision because it rained latter that day.

To break the black and green combo I added a touch another gem stone color to my outfit through my purse. I like the contrast between my emerald green top and my wine red purse. Personally, I like how this outfit turned out, it's classy, it's chic and it's girly. 

Top, Skirt, Bag, Bow: Thrifted | Shoes: People are People

Tomorrow would be my dad's birthday and I want to let everybody know how for me, he is the best dad in the world. My dad is my mentor and my teacher, and he inspires me so much. I look at him, and how he can lit up a room just by his wisdom, and I say to myself, I want to be like that when I grow up. He continuously amazes me by the things he  do and by the words he say. He is the perfect balance of a teacher, a friend, and being the best dad. 

Happy Birthday Dad! I love you so much:) 

I also want to take this opportunity to greet you all a happy halloween, spooookkky!
