Hello there, here's a quick back log to the time my hair still had life, i really need to do something with my ugly hair now. I love this floral dress, it's loud but it's not over the top. Paired it with my Wine red boots for a simple yet put together look.

Greenhills Dress, Linea Italia Boots, Gifted Necklace (thanks Andrea!)

I'm back from a long hiatus! I can't promise I won't be gone again though. Andrea and I ventured into coordinating weddings and debuts, quite a different kind of event organizing but it was still fun non-the-less; we call our company ACE Coordinates. I've been busy with event organizing but especially school; my last event this year just took place and I can now focus more on thesis and other school work. We're not accepting clients again 'til next year so we can work on passing this course. haha!

Classic (looking) pieces that are still very "in" today:> Peplum Top, Khaki and Leather bags.

Very minimal accessories, it looks like corporate sheek! :> My jeans are actually a bit short on me but when paired with heels it is not a problem! (I fold it when wearing flats/shoes though)

Adina Peplum Top, Bazaar Pants, M+Y Heels, Dooney & Bourke Sling Bag (get it here), South Shores Necklace, CMG Ring

Been busy with school like I predicted--especially majors with deadlines already and Acquaintance Party! Sooo excited and pressured:>

First of all, I wanna say HELLO 2013!!!! 2012 has been awesome, I will be posting some highlights on my next post, but for now, I would just like to emphasize on the thing that most people make on new year--RESOLUTIONS! I, myself made some resolutions before I went to sleep--not about everything though, just a part of my life that I want to change badly. Well, I realized that even though I believe that we should make resolutions all year round for the betterment of ourselves, new years are a good thing to remind us to strive more, to become persons we ourselves, our friends, our parents, and our loved ones can be proud of:)

So write down those realistic resolutions to become the best person you can be and stick them in your mood board, put it in your organizer or keep it in your wallet to make sure it reminds you always:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR and thank so much for reading my little blog, I don't know if I have avid readers or not but I'm happy enough writing for myself anyways:) Cheers and have a great life ahead!!

Festivities call for festive clothes! This holiday season, I have been wearing colorful clothes just because! This is what I wore to church last Sunday, it was also our Christmas Cantata, there were song and dance numbers, and some of my friends danced this really upbeat Christmas song. I was taking a video of them being the stage friend that I am, and I was a little shy to go to the front wearing the bright pants that I have on, haha! I was like a rainbow exploded on me :P But hey, Fashion is fashion, don't judge:)

Shop Wise Blouse and Pants 

WAGW Necklace

South Shores Wedges

I'm not a really big fan of wedges, I just think stilettos look sexier. But when I had on these babies, I was like wow! how did I miss these?! They still look sexy and adds height, plus they're super comfortable!! it just goes to show that you have to give it a chance, try things before you judge them, you might end up loving them instead (am I still talking about shoes? haha :D).

In Fashion, do not be afraid to try things because you don't think it would suit you, you'll never know if you can pull it off or not until you try them! Go ahead, buy that top you've been eyeing, or those pair of shorts that your fave blogger is wearing, you might rock 'em better!:)

For this year's---BIRTHDAY, since I still had a plate deadline on the 17th, I had a  very simple dinner out with family and relatives. We ate at Captain As, Capitol (boodle-boodle ftw!) and went back to making my plates again after:/

What made me officially 19 years old:)

On to my outfit: This day was originally planned for swimming at Imperial Palace and an overnight stay at Pacific Cebu, but because of our unfinished plate, we had to reschedule that and had dinner instead.I have been dying to wear this outfit for so long and I finally decided to wear it to the beach, but even though that got cancelled, I did not let it get in the way of me wearing this!:)

Pardon my top for bulging out like that, I look like I had a very weirdly shaped sharp tummy! :O

Cute iTouch Case from Ellzbee:)

What I love most about this outfit is that it is all vintage! I mean, hand me downs from my mom and sister, yet it still looks so now with the maxi and the corset top! Oh how I love the fact that fashion is a cycle:) The bag too is my moms, I love good quality stuff that lasts like forever!

How do you usually spend your birthdays? Hope you had fun the last time you turned up an age:) I didn't have as much as I hoped but I'll just celebrate it soon, since it's Christmas break!! <3

Happy birthday to me <3

Hello! I know I haven't posted for a few days and this is due to my very busy schedule! But with events and deadlines over, I can finally blog! So, this just in--South Shores just posted their Holiday Collection, for those of you asking, No, I do not own South Shores. I endorse their brand and market their products (only sounds fancy, HAHA). So as I was saying, their new collection is here~Finally!!!

Best for those Christmas Parties, Balls, etc! For more casual holiday get-ups try the sultry side of this collection, we're lovin' neutrals, pastels, lace, floral, and more!

Photographer: Gen Sagmon MUA: Eunice Enrera Models: Charmaine Tara Chua, Charmaine Ong de Leon, Edryce Edryce Janne Lim and Valerie Tian All Clothes: South Shores Special thanks to: JCentre Mall for the venue

It was a stressful day, call time was 7am at JCentre for Hair and make-up, and we ended at 7PM! never-the-less I know that I am so blessed to part of this team, thanks to the Tan sisters! <3 Guys check out South Shores because it is definitely not a waste of time, effort and money! Love their stuff (if you haven't noticed yet)!!! I will be posting more of my queued pictures here, more soon, plus about my birthday!

Jeans (August), Top (Next), Shades (Hawaiian Sun), Bag (J - STYLING AND ATTACHÉS)

There was a need to wear white for an event at school, but being my atypical self, I went for my over-used bright red jeans!! I also had a shoot that afternoon (thus the make-up!).

For my accents, I say: Spikes and Aztec is love:) Downtown treasures! <3 

Fashion now-a-days is very moody and people tend to treat clothes as disposable things! I, for one try my best not to wear the same outfits or even pieces too often, with this is mind I think it is very practical to buy cheap, on sale, or even (recently as I've mentioned, I tried) thrifting! Such amazing ways to expand your wardrobe. Speaking of which, I am planning to sell some of my stuff (unused or barely used), will update about that soon~ deadlines and events here and there!:/

Thanks Athena Bellotindos of Fashion Institute of the Philippines for my outfit shots!:)

Dress (p1399.00), Blazer (p799.00), Bangles (p199.00 each), Rings, (p99.00 each), Clutch (p1199.00) and Shoes (p899.00)

This outfit is in honor of the Breast Cancer awareness month, a cause near to my heart because my mom went through this, too. October might soon be over but I will always hope that women won't go through this--my mom and my sister alike.

Anyways, Wore an LBD (little black dress) for some diversity but kept the accents in the pink family.

What do you think?
