Birthday Getaway Part 2: Flynns Beach, Port Macquarie

One of the most unexpected birthday celebrations I had in a long time was when we traveled to Port Macquarie with 2 other friends. You can view Part 1 of our travel here. My birthday this year happened to fall during Easter, which I reckon was a blessing. Although my birthday (1st of April) oftentimes fell during the holy week, only on rare occasions it would fall on Easter day. I was truly…

Hair Regrowth with Cocoa Locks

I’ve never had any problems with my hair before back when I was still in the Philippines.  But I have noticed since moving in Australia 2 years ago, change of weather conditions (especially during the winter season) and harsh UV rays to name a few have caused some irregularity and damage to my hair.  I have been occasionally having hair fall a lot more than usual.  My hairline has also started to…

Birthday Getaway Part 1: Koala Hospital, Port Macquarie

Hello everyone! After failing to renew my main blog blushpearls.com which you can no longer view at this point in time, I have been on hiatus for quite some time, for nearly 2 years to be exact.  I am now back here in my very old blog if you may refer to the previous article which is dated back in 2014.  I have been on hiatus for quite some time, and I have finally gotten out of hibernation and…

Back in May, when me and my hubby had our pre-nup shoot, kuya Jiva of Lakshmi Photography, an award-winning photographer in town once mentioned the term “golden hour“.  That was the very first time i heard the term and i was fascinated and blown away, for that moment, the sky was indeed so soft and serene with lighting at its best. These photos were shot on our way back home while i was inside a…

There’s so much to love about this city; it’s not as crazy as Sydney but the atmosphere, the people, the treasury, the musings around and especially the shops still gives me chills. I see it as a place perfect for relaxation and fun.  I personally haven’t roam around the length of Brisbane, I’ve only strolled it’s Central part and I wonder how the other side of Brisbane looks like; hope to…

My take on Fashion Photography

Since the rise of local and renowned photographers in the fashion industry (on magazines and print ads), i have always been fascinated by the genius works of art of each photographer who never miss out on capturing a stunning photo.  I never dreamt about being a photographer as a child, especially while growing up we lived a simple life; with dreams and ambitions more like closer to nil.…

I Posed for Leyte and Bohol: Androgyny

One style I rarely get to flaunt is that of the androgynous side. It’s a style loved by many, a style worth the hype, an effortless style which shows a balance between masculine and feminine dressing.  One androgynous look I have in mind that I still haven’t put together is a boyfriend jeans + loose top + heels combo, I love just the thought of how sexy yet manly it would’ve looked like. But for…

Apart from denim shorts, my weakest when it comes to staple pieces are skirts! I love skirts, no matter the length 🙂 I love my minis, midis, and maxis but there’s something special about this Shorts station vintage floral maxi skirt I have on, and I couldn’t really tell what.. I’m simply drawn to it. I so love it! The feel of the fabric may not be too shabby, but hey it does look good on camera…

How to Wear Floral Denim Shorts in Winter

How do you wear your favourite floral denim shorts in winter? With pure honesty, I don’t know either. 🙂 I guess in fashion and style, there is no definite “how-to” really as long as you feel comfortable and confident.  Mix and match your favourites whichever way you like to pair it with.  You can also go overboard by layering up pieces on top of another, the key is if you’re able to flaunt it, go…

Hello lovelies, how has February been treating you so far? We are still on the love month and it is one of those months where we make extra effort to dress-up for dates with our special someone or dates with our best friends. Whichever way it is flaunt the whole month of February in Style.  I have curated four stylish sets for you featuring fashion pieces from one of my favourite go-to shops,  .

Style inspired by the 60s

Stripes, off-shoulder top and high-waist jeans were amongst the hottest trends back in the 50s and 60s.  Style from the yester-years has been one of my inspirations, so as most of us.  I love vintage fashion, who doesn’t? I feel like most of the trends nowadays have been recycled or drawn inspiration from the ingenuity of vintage designers.

Smelling roses at Milsons Park

I had an awesome time smelling roses at Milsons Park last Tuesday with my husband.  One of my simple fascinations in life is the sight of roses, and any flowers for that matter.  I love flowers; they calm my soul and make me extremely happy when I lay my eyes on them.  Imagine the sparkle in my eyes the moment we turned left from Broughton Street to Mcdougall Street.  I felt like I was in flower…

Hello everyone, I would like to re-welcome you all here in my little space on the web.  This blog is my spectacle of happiness.  A space where I get to share my random spills about fashion, beauty, weddings, and anything that comes of interest.  Just to share some insight, my husband and I are back in Australia.  We have been here since May, which is the main reason why I have gone on hiatus for…

How to Style: Camo

Hello everyone! Sharing with you today a short video, glimpses of the three outfit pairings I did separately for this lovely, unique, floral print Sheincamouflage jacket.  I styled this jacket  with denim culottes, all white and an all black.  These style pieces can be easily found in malls and online shops which makes it so easy to recreate.  I hope you like this clip as much as I had fun making…

Hello everyone! It is the 8th day of April and I’m still on birthday hype.  I cannot believe I’m 31 already, what a blessing.  In my previous post, I shared an all-black birthday outfit and 31 of my most valuable blessings, if you haven’t read that yet click here.  Today’s post somehow is interrelated with my previous post, only today, I am wearing an all-white outfit.  And since I am still on…
