Celestial

Good news! I finally replaced my old dSLR with a new one. So from now on, expect better photos on my blog! YAAAYYY. I swear, I worked really hard to pay for my own camera! I actually got it on the third day of the SuperSale Bazaar and speaking of which, here’s what I wore on that day.

I believe all my fashion prayers were answered when I saw this colorful, versatile and fun high-low dress! Tumblr is choc-a-block with wonderful galaxy prints, right? Hence, I took inspiration from different blog backgrounds and picture overlays. I paired the dress with my H&M blazer, a killer pair of heels, and fierce and fabulous accessories!

By the time this gets published, I’ll probably be shopping at Chatuchak Market in Bangkok.

Dressed in Motley

I wore this to a day full of errands. I wanted to wear something casual – so I could move around easily – but still fashionable. I paired a multi-colored knit top with a pair of red shorts. When I visited Mango’s Rockwell branch, I actually saw a lot of shorts in various styles and colors. Nonetheless, I picked red because apparently, the color equates to being bold and being a risk-taker when it comes to style. So ladies, when in doubt, wear red! As for my accessories, I opted to match my top and shorts with bangles from the same palette, and brown sunglasses and beige suede fringe bag to offset my bright outfit.

From runway to reality, Mango’s collections can be rocked and the Spring/Summer 2012 collection isn’t an exception. I absolutely love the simplicity of their latest pieces and the fact that the possibilities of wearing them are endless! Everything screams laid-back glamour!

Resurgence of Serpentine

Most of you know that I have a strong penchant for leopard prints and other big cat prints, but this time around, I let my head be turned by the python (clearly, it’s faux). This sleek and sexy black-and-cream straight-cut snakeskin print dress from Mango injects a double dose of exotic texture and liveliness. It features a V-neckline and three-quarter sleeves, making it the perfect day-to-evening dress! If you’re having issues (as many do) with how to wear the print without overdoing it, just remember to keep everything in moderation and pair your snakeskin garment or accessory with black or neutrals. This dress couldn’t be more minimal – in terms of silhouette and texture – and yet, the silver cuff, the studded bangle, and the quilted bag with silver chain made my look more exquisite and extravagant!

This dress actually reminds me of one of my fashion icons — Kate Moss! According to various fashion and style sites, she was spotted a couple of times donning a snakeskin print dress while out and about in London. She epitomizes everything I love about laid-back British fashion! I adore how she delivers rock ‘n’ roll in a cool and classy manner. With her effortlessly chic style, she has attitude and edge without even trying!

Safari Excursion

I decided to fit the fiery hot trend into my outfit — The Safari look! I was a bit worried about looking like a zookeeper or an actual safari guide (HAHA!), but the contrasting earth tones, bold animal print, and intricate beads saved my life and gave my look a modern twist! They can definitely take a tailored look from stiff to playful and expressive. The colorful accessories gave my rather simple top and skirt an extra boost. I think that the art of accessorizing is the secret to looking great in even the most basic clothes!

Looking for a stylish way to upgrade your wardrobe for the season ahead? Revamp your wardrobe by stocking up on Mango’s lovely clothes and accessories for a serious sartorial impact. From relaxed and casual pieces to a modest elegance, the brand’s latest collection has you covered!

Get Cozy

It’s been raining here in Manila for the past few days, but I’m not complaining about that. I actually like the cold weather and I have an affinity for cozy clothing that accompanies such chilly temps! I finally got around to taking some snaps of my self-made jacket.

Animal Print Prowls Back

I’ve loved animal prints ever since I was young. Case in point: Check out my baby pictures!

Okay, I was just kidding. The iPhone was a give away; it was invented when I was around 16 years old. But I actually think that this girl is my kid version! Two of my friends shared these photos and told me I look like her. Not to mention, they don’t know each other at all!

Sometimes a trend does grow on me. I’ve been wearing animal prints even before the trend became all the rage. I’m not playing the I-was-one-of-the-people-who-started-the-trend card, instead, I’m saying that I began to appreciate it at an early age. There’s just something irresistible about animal print fabrics! They’re fun, flirty, and stylish! I do take a more subdued approach with my use of the animal print, but it’s a good approach nonetheless. You’ll never see me wearing full-on animal print dresses!

Military Issue

Last Monday was one of the most tiring days I’ve had in a long time. I had to do some pull-outs in the morning, went to a shoot for an international make-up brand and attended a meeting in the afternoon, did some pull-outs again, and pre-styled the clothes and accessories in the evening. I’m not complaining though (well, my body does hahaha). I’m very humbled and grateful for all the opportunities! :)

The assigned look from Monday’s shoot was Military Chic. The pegs that the brand sent me included Temperley, Ralph Lauren, Alexander McQueen, Derek Lam, Collette Dinnigan and Balmain’s runway outfits, with gold buttons, epaulettes, and four front flap pockets, among others. Of course, I unleashed my inner Lara Croft and opted to emulate Balmain’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection. There’s just something about olive green, leather, boots, and military styling that gets me. I can’t disclose all the details about the shoot quite yet, but I can say that I’m really looking forward to seeing the outcome!

Lee olive green jacket, M)Phosis ripped top, and self-made leggings (it has leatherette panels, but they’re not clearly seen in the photos; I’ll show better photos next time!)

I had my eyelash extensions applied a month ago (lash extensions will last up to 4-8 weeks depending on how well you take care of them and also depending on your own lashes natural growth cycle) and recently, I noticed that some of the synthetic lashes were falling out. In order to keep them looking great, I visited Nail It! Salon and had them apply some new extensions to maintain the fullness of my set. I’m satisfied once again!

Thanks to Nail It! Salon for applying the Orly Green with Envy polish so well!
