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.

Style Satyr

Hola! Ok, I'm not going to get into the whole apologizing thing but let's just say I'm spending my summer sulking and just enjoying the couch here in my house which is probably the reason why I lack posts. But we did go to Bacolod awhile back and here's what I wore. 

What I like about this outfit is how the floral bottom balances the edginess of the upper half of my outfit. And if you're wondering that is also the reason behind my title. Well, I don't know how I compared my outfit with a satyr, since a satyr is a half goat and a half human, but I guess I'm just obsessed with greek mythology that I'll find any way to talk about it (wink face).

I accessorized combining gold and silver pieces and sticked to black with my bag and shoes.

This is the outfit I wore when we flew back to Manila so I thought a blazer would be great for warmth while flying. On the otherhand, this outfit would still work with the blazer off.

Upon arriving in Manila we immediately went to MOA and luckily we were a little early so we managed some outfit shots in the aisle thing :)

Top: Baclaran | Leggings: Chic Label | Shoes: Supra Fame | Bag: Thrifted

Seeing these photos made me miss my long hair, oh yes I haven't shown you my new hair yet but you can check it out on my youtube channel, just in case you want to see it. 

Have a nice day!

Miss Tapia

Here's another outfit post from last year. Wow! That sounded like it's been so long LOL.

This is what I wore to our block's christmas party and it was last December 21, the same as the day of Paskuhan. 

Let me just tell you a story why I chose this title. So I was preparing for the party not really having an inspiration for my outfit and I just grabbed these pieces and hope they'd go together. I put my hair on a bun because my brother thought it would go with my outfit and I eventually  went to school. And as I entered the room where the party will be held, a few of my block mates were like Miss Tapia! And I thought it was funny because my outfit kind of resembles a teacher uniform *laugh. If you don't know who Miss Tapia is, you can google it because honestly I don't know much about her also. 

Loafers: Supra Fame

 Blazer: BU4( Bestie Konisis) | Dress: Thrifted | Bag: Thrifted

I really like how simple this outfit is, because there are just those days where my laziness get to me and that affects on how I dress. But outfits like this are so convenient. It did not take much of my time and energy since it only composes of two clothing pieces and sometimes minimalistic dressing can be a real statement( I probably mentioned this for the millionth time lol ). 

Now I can see where the teacher thing is coming from but I hope I portrayed that in a good way.  No offense to all the teacher's out there :)

This outfit also shows why I love blazers so much. They do not only cover my man-like arms but they also can really amp up an outfit. What do you think? 

So I decided to post once every other day. In that way I can be a consistent blogger and at the same I can do school stuffs in between days. And I hope that schedule will work if not I can always make a new one :) 

That's about it! As usual I have a ton of things to do. And I just can't seem to start doing them without blogging first. Is that a bad thing? Oh well, that's me! 

I'll end this post by saying, laziness is really the enemy of students like me (Or is it just me? tsk tsk).

Multiple personality

As much as I love dressing preppy, classy and all romantic, there are days that I really want to go out of my box. And that's by way of dressing edgy. Being edgy makes me feel more confident and strong, *iyong bang  lumapit ka sa akin susuntukin kita ang dating LOL. But too much of anything is not pleasant, and it applies the same way in this type of dressing. Too much edginess gives a wrong impression so what to do? Use a dress instead! I always wanted to try the contrast between a dress and an edgy piece. And In my case I paired my LBD with a classic denim jacket.  

Ano lalapit ka pa? LOL

I love how comfortable this pairing is. It's very breezy yet conservative. It's very 90s and I'm a 90s kid so it looks legit. 


It would have been better if I used a pair of combat boots but I don't have it yet so I just settled in these sandals. I'm going to BU4 so I hope I could score some shoes there, sooooo excited! Comment below if you're also going. 


Denim jacket: Thrifted | Dress: Thrifted | Sandals: Faridez | Bag: Thrifted




And to complete the look, of course you don't want to forget to accessorize. I went all out edgy and used a cross necklace and a leather bag. 


Got to try more contrasting pieces in an outfit. I think it looks good and very interesting. Out from the usual and far from mediocrity. 
------------------
My block mates and I were just discussing awhile ago about the judgement day based on the Mayan calendar blah blah blah. And since the PASKUHAN(will explain this on another post) will be held on December 21, the supposed judgement day, what would we do? Is the judgement day really going to happen? Do you believe that the world will end on Dec. 21? Supposed it's true, what would you do before the end of the world?

If you'll ask me? Knowing that the world is going to end, honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do. All I know is it would just be so depressing to know all are going to end soon and yet I haven't lived my life to the fullest and I'm going to die sad. JK LOL.  

Comment below what's your opinion about this. I would love to hear it all :)

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!
