Every girl (straight or not) has that “pink” aura in her! It’s just some choose to plainly flaunt it and others opt to keep it low. So, why the word “pink”? I always tend to associate the color with the femininity of an individual. It gives a female an impression of being girly when she’s seen wearing pink in almost any part of her body.

This look proves that I can be too girly! Haha! Basically, the Matiz flats I got from Suelas made me pull this off <3 Everything I’m wearing had the shade of pink. Something new for me! I preferred not to wear lots of accessories because the floral breezy skirt made it multihued already. 

Oh! Did you notice how I match my top+belt with the Matiz flats I got? Sweet! Fold’em! Roll’em! Bring’em! Love’em! Suelas has been offering super cute and affordable flats since 2009. Not only that they produce contemporary-designed flats, Suelas is Proudle Philippine-made!!!

This year’s Valentines celebration was a bit off-the-usual. I spent the day with new persons in my life <3 Every laugh and giggle with them is memorable.

My cousin and I also visited Cake Galerie to buy some V-day treats for my staff and for my cousin’s friends. Also, it was the first time my cousin rode the car with me driving! Haha! 35 HOURS PARKING TIME! LOL. (just exaggerating) –can’t wait for my post featuring Cake Galerie <3

In the afternoon, Valentines with my ever lovable staff! Haha! Then Fam Bam dinner in Bistro Rosario. Then followed my cousin and her friends for a singles night out! — changed to flipflops after dinner :)

 Love love love!

Wearing sunglasses could mean a lot of things. You can protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun that could cause wrinkles! You can use it to protect your eyes from being too exposed to dust.  You can use it as an accessory for an outfit. And most especially!!! You can use it to cover your puffy eyes, haha! Just like what I did :)

The slingbacks I got from So Fab! are the sweetest! I received the package, together with, a pair of yellow flats (which I bought for my sister) last December. I just got to wear it soon!! Because I already received three pairs from So Fab! and I haven’t posted a look wearing them. So, here’s my first! Despite that big appreciation I’m sharing, I really think I would have worn black booties. What do you think? It could have made a cooler outfit statement. BUT I AIN’T FOND OF BOOTS! HAHAH!

Have a sweaty happy day!

A post on a look showing prints on prints! Some people love wearing prints, may it be florals, stripes, polka-dots, abstract cuts or intricate patterns. And some people love wearing “ternos”. But looking good with what you’re wearing depends on how you work it out using the stuff you have. Plus, the attitude!

Mango’s 2011 It Girl and one of the Philippine’s most popular fashion bloggers, Camille Co , always pulls off a great look either with an all-prints image or color-block front. I, personally, think that her height seriously totes up her “It” factor. Cheers, Cams!

About the look, I chose to wear a large striped sando dress under a vintage Chardin printed blazer. Tied up my short hair into a bun to make it more sophisticated :) Black and silver accessories to finish it off. Don’t forget to bring along a pair of flats if you plan to wear heels for work (Let your feet soles rest!)

Hello 2012!!!! It’s almost 3 months since I last posted an entry :( Sorry, my dear readers :) I’ve been very very very busy with all my works. I feel bad when I read some emails from readers asking me if I’ll continue posting in my blog. It’s just that I didn’t have time to open my photo albums and post’em. Or if I had time, my body’s too tired to get up from bed. But I am back (though still stressed)!

                                                                   Brown flats from Soleil

So basically, this will be my first post for 2012 :D Shots were taken last December 2011, before I attended our company’s beach Christmas party (My first ever with them). I thought of doing away with the bright color theme in beach parties and decided on wearing this loose brown long blouse as a dress, heheh! Then brown closed Soleil flats!

       Bring it on, 2012! Looking forward to a great prosperous year of the dragon.

I had this inspiration from Katie Holmes. I love how I try to modify all the inspirations I get and make it my own statement.  Most of the time, I get ideas from international artists, but of course I always alter the look and make it appear appropriate to the setting. :)

Anyway, today I went rushing to a hair salon. I got my hair re-dyed. From medium golden to true ash brown/blonde (I forgot the exact name color) Ms. Ada pampered me well while I was there. She even gave me a discount! Yay! I also had my usual mani-pedi sessions.

How’s the color?

Random thought: I want a foot spa with you, Antonette Kristie Lim!! Where are you dear?!

These pointed shoes (sister’s) got me spellbound when I found the right get-up for it :D However, I wear it rarely because of its embellishments and color.

Yo! It has been weeks since we took these photos :) (sorry for the late post) The skirt was bought months ago and the shirt is already over-used by me since last summer! So I guess the proper title for this entry is “JUST NOW” huh? But it’s never too late! I just didn’t have the chance to wear this outfit for a suitable affair. 

I got so excited by Giuseppe Zanotti! The collection of shoes and bags of the brand are classic but edgy! And the best thing is you can order directly from the official website: Giuseppe Zanotti. The shoes used in my photo were ordered online :)

I wore an all-around branding here; clothes and necklaces from an RTW shop — SM Department Store (men shirt & striped skirt), earrings from a Cebu-original store – Loalde and shoes from GZ-inspired. ♥ SM has been a very good retailer of all sorts of apparel, plus! They offer them at cheap prices! 

Making fun of men’s apparel is super fun! You could look masculine from one part of the get-up but still staying exquisitely feminine!

Okay, this is what I usually look like when I wake up. BWAHAHAH! Messy hair and sleepy eyes :) This was during one lazy Sunday; I grabbed my brown clogs, put on some face powder and smiled to the camera! Click! As you can see my accessories are also a mess! LAZY CRAZY! Pero keribels pa rin!

  I woke up almost lunch time and still acting idle in our veranda –listening to the birds chirping, observing the tree branches as they sway & feeling the warm breeze of the air. FEROSHO BA ANG AKING PAG-EEMOTE? HAHAH!

                       Be happy and carefree with life! HUWAG KANG NEGA! Weber nila!

Red Couture HMD|  Green necklace Bubbles Accessories | Gold necklace Accessorize| Red & Gold watch Lamue| Bag Gucci

This is one of the rare moments where I chose to wear red. I barely wear anything in this hue because it does not match my skin tone :) I don’t look good with it, maybe? Or maybe my personality also doesn’t match the meaning of RED.  I always have second thoughts when someone offers me clothing in red – thoughts like; What will I pair with it? Will I look short wearing this? I don’t want to look bitchy with this! Will I appear darker than my skin tone when I use it? Hahah! Crazy, huh?

  So what made me wear this?! Trial and error! Hahah! At first, I didn’t know what accessories to add but after raiding my stuff, I decided on gold and red shade ones. But I wouldn’t want to look like a gold nugget, hence, spruced it up with a touch of green :) Green and Red are complementary colors according to the color wheel. Why not try out an outfit with both colors, ey?

Good thing, I had this Gucci bag (as a birthday gift last 2009) from my grandma because the bag was perfect with the whole look <3 Oh, and the dress? The cloth is made of natural fiber (which makes it not transparent and slightly heavy to wear).  It was too long and I did not really like the hemline. It would have been more into young adults if it was just an inch above the knee. What do you think? But what I really like was the bib-like design at the top part :) It has this fringe pattern. Hahah

To finish it off, heels with a red bow!

     Gray tank top Giordano| Sequined Vest Zara| Flares From Aunt| Wide Gem band and heels Sister’s

To those I know personally, this may be new because trying to look like a rockstar does not fit me. But I still tried though :) Achieve ko naman?! Hahaha!

Actually the flares I am wearing was a gift from Aunt. She bought it for me from the US because she wants me to wear it during client meetings (And I still never had!) So I decided to wear on a very different outlook — ROCKSTAR! (I can be crazy sometimes) This is also the first time I wore my 8-month old sequined vest from Zara (bought online). It totally rocked the whole look!! Agree?

Today’s a special day for Ate Norme, our ever funny talkative secretary. She celebrated her birthday in the office. I was touched because she told me that she didn’t expect anything special for her b-day EXCEPT my promised b-day gift! (hahahah Ang cute!) Of course, na-pressure ang lola niyo the night before sa paghahanap ng i-gigift :) I was choosing over a dress or a bag. But because she has to wear her company uniform, I opted on buying a bag. (And feeling ko mas useful talaga siya for her)

       It was kinda funny when I got home the night I bought the gift, everyone in the house asked: “Whose wedding are you attending?” HAHAHAHAH! I think it’s because of the gift wrapper. It was a plain silver one. Haha

I really hope she liked the bag! (though it was not in her favorite color)

*All awkward photos were taken before I went to office to surprise Ate Norme :P

Anyway, I was in my usual casual formal look. The gladiators are owned by my mom and I. Thank you, Mossimo USA!  After a long time being stored in her shoe rack, I got it repaired. Yey! FYI, I wore a blazer, dears (so not to look very exposed)

 Sorry for the shots; we were having a hard time looking for good lighting (MEGANON?!).  But this was on a rush because I’m about to be left by my “driver” for work! :)                                  

Hope you had a fun tuesday too!

I may not be a skater, but since my sister got herself an all-pink neon item, IT ROCKED! I mean, the style looked simple but the color was eye-catching. Even if you wear something with dull and dead colors, the shoes pimped up everything. Yes, SHOES DEFINITELY SPEAK A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT YOU!

Shoes Vans OTW| Striped vest Vintage| Denim High-waists Levi’s| Pink watch Guess

Actually, Vans specializes on shoes for casual wear (sneakers, BMX shoes, skateboarding, etc.). Some of their customized designs were named: Era, Old Skool, Chukka, , Escuela, OTW and a lot more. The company began during the 1960’s but they really boomed around 1990’s. :) During their first retailing, they were still doing “made-to-order” footwear. But as time went by, these handcrafted items were much loved by more consumers! So currently, Vans serves today’s wider young generation who are mostly inclined to sports. The brand has also collaborated with Paul Smith, who is known for his multi-striped patterns. If you want to know more about the hundreds of designs of VANS “OFF THE WALL”, visit them online: VANS.COM Or check their facebook page here: Vans FB Page

And oh, they do offer t-shirts, jeans, accessories, hoodies and more! Vans has also celebrated a new collaboration with the cartoon designer for Yo Gabba Gabba and Hello Kitty to extend their exclusive designs to the young-at-heart’s!

What are you waiting for? Rush to your favorite shoe shop and make a style statement with those classic Vans OTW shoe line ♥

I expected this package from Tati of Bubbles Accessories to arrive Wednesday or Thursday, but I guess, the shipping courier’s excited too! Haha! So basically, it arrived today :) Good thing, I went back home around lunch time to sign some papers. Mom just told me that a package was waiting for me ;)

I was like..”WHERE?!!” I rushed the signing and grabbed the package. Opened it and here are the items I received from Tati.

I did not pay for the shipping fee :) HEHE!

I assure my readers that you will be seeing outfit posts with these accessories. I just need a new good photog!!! :(

Btw, Tati has more designs for earrings, necklaces and rings.  She has this store, Bubbles Accessories. Just browse and buy!
