Taters Le Grand 20

Let my lines do the talking with my tailored floral peplum blazer. Taters Le Grand 20 calls for a perfect floral peplum blazer and pair it with neon high waist shorts. I've been a huge fan of Taters ever since. My movie date wouldn't be complete without my nachos cheese flavored popcorn and a large cup of Sprite with cherry syrup. The best thing I've experience from the Taterrific festival is diving into tons of popcorn. I posted a video on my Instagram account to prove how I enjoyed the "Popcorn Dive" booth.

I pulled out these two chic pieces from HIPSTOP shop at 3rd floor Shoppesville, Greenhills. I think floral has sprung up in my taste buds that day. I want something different and versatile that I can wear from day to night.

The key to wearing this print is not to overdo it - choose a floral print and keep the rest of your outfit simple. 

This outfit looks perfect worn with nude SHIQ Justine bag & PRIMADONNA bandage strap heels.

Accessorize this look with DCG FASHION arm candies

and FASHION SPICE MANILA Mise En Dior double pearl earrings.

Thanks to Christian Dior, I have a newfound love for pearls. These pearls may look very simple but these surely make a statement when you wear it.

Thank you Jionor Verona for these awesome shots!

Take a Risk

I felt bold and adventurous so I dared myself wearing this statement piece, I LOVE NL CLOTHING long sleeves crop top with suspenders. With the Philippines' bipolar weather, I can always top this off with a vest if ever it gets cold or to not feel so bare. 

This tomboy-inspired piece looks killer paired with a high-waisted shorts from VINTAGE SHORTS PH.

Whether the crop top is bright or the shorts, make sure that there's a nice balance. You can even play with patterns as well!

My Zara Leather Boots surely elongated my petite frame. 

Don't forget the most important thing, accessorizing.

I chose to wear my FASHION SPICE MANILA  chunky chained necklace, LAROVE SHOP silver flash lenses, VELOCI cruiser watch, NINE WEST cross body bag & TERRANOVA fedora hat.

Keep your eye out for statement pieces while out in shopping, You can do so much with them plus you will stand out from the crowd. ;-P

Just one side not: "Take a Risk."

Top Pick from Clothes Buffet Manila: Nude & Neutral

Perks of being a shopaholic, I got to take home 10 pieces of clothes! I even got some for my little sisters. You better not miss out the Manila's first ever Clothes Buffet.

For most girls, not including me, the neutral look is a safe bet. But for me who loves colors and prints, the neutral look would be the last thing in my mind. This pair of laser cut-out set proved me wrong. I was supposed to choose the black or the blue one for this design but I took a leap for this. And, I don't have a single regret. 

If you're not into this look or if you want to try this look, an easy way to blend in with this trend is with a matching lipstick, nail polish, matching handbags or shoes. I personally love this SHIQ Dominique clutch. 

Added a pop of color with my MOON STONE JEWELS stackable bracelets in shade of blue and double strand jasper and turquoise necklace. EYE KNOW RIGHT two-toned sunnies complements the outfit perfectly.

SHIQ leather scallop trim shoes adds a dash of luxe to whatever looks you step out in.

DADAfied x Francis Libiran

I was really excited to share this outfit to everyone because I'm wearing a wearable art by DADA in collaboration with Francis Libiran, an innovator in the fashion industry. These art tanks can we worn either way. There is no front and back. This #DadaRevese shows you how life always has two stories.

I personally love wearing something I could be proud of. DADA clothing line is owned by graphic ninjas who envision a community of people who can learn and be inspired by artworks through wearable Artanks. Their collaboration with Francis Libiran, an internationally renowned fashion designer caught my attention and my praise.

A printed tank top paired with CERTAIN THINGS leather shorts will never fail.

You can always toughen up your edgy pieces with something leathery.

I can't help to jump the bandwagon of the Origami shorts, skorts, and skirts trend. This edgy trend will not go away anytime soon.

For a sporty-chick like me, my Nike sky-hi wedges I got from ITSSHOEMURA punctuates my sporty-look very well.

For my printed top, I wore my EYE KNOW RIGHT blue/purple flash lenses. I love how my sunnies reflects out the colors of my top and make more of a statement than just a normal pair of shades. Let the accessories do the talking, gold chain necklace and VELOCI gold cruiser watch.

Go get your own state-of-the-art and designer tank tank top soon and be proud of having a wearable art!

Bluer than Blue

So, anyway the title doesn't do anything about my emotions for this day, it's just that is there anything bluer than blue than this lovely SPIFFY blue dress? 

SPIFFY white kimono vest is a good idea to keep you ready to run out the door on errand or to meet your friend who randomly called you for a cup of coffee.

Blue beads and silver charms sound like a good combo for arm candies. I personally chose the wing, cross, and the letter M & G. I love how GOLD SMITHS GRANDDAUGHTER personalized these sweet things for me.

This spaghetti strap dress is sure to be a hit on a sunny day when paired with BELLA MANILA silver flats. 

Would you believe that this is a 3-way bag? Just fold this THE PINK DRESSER bag and snap and you're good to go!

Couldn't be any happier with how my hair looks like but I am really the type of person who changes her hair drastically. I hope not too soon though. 

Do you have any suggestions of hairstyles that might look good on me? 

If yes, hit me up on my Insagram and/ twitter. ;-P

All White Everything

Embracing the all-white look this year. This outfit is refreshing, timeless & chic. I have noticed that I have so much black and white clothes in my closet but I always pick out the black ones but now it's a whole different story. I decided to go from dark's to white's. I ended up in the white section of my closet and pulled out this two classic pieces that I love.

Going all out with a breezy head-to-toe all-white look this season & embracing my feminine side in a  FASHIONAPPLE Maja crop top & GLITZY GLAM SHOP mesh midi skirt.

Color coordinating your closet might save you more time if you're going for an all-white outfit. In my experience, I went home from training and when I opened my closet I saw all of clothes color coordinated already. At first I always get confused but it's just a matter of getting used to. 

Picking out a white-on-white outfit is actually fun. Pull out all your white shoes, top, skirts, pants and even jewelry and try to mix and match. Once you get going, you can never stop!

You can change the vibe of your all-white outfit just by the accesories. I wanted to achieve a classy look so I picked out my MOONSTONE JEWELS set. These are handmade jewelry made of aluminum wire and precious stone.

I love these heels for its edgy and strappy look. And one thing is for sure, these PRIMADONNA nude bandage strap heels are comfortable and made my feet feel like the "wow" factor.

Don't be afraid to experiment and make a statement! ;-P

Rediscover Reeses

Last August 2, I went to a peanut-butter-chocolate filled event at SM Mall of Asia, Music Hall. My Saturday afternoon was sweet & fun with all the chocolate treats and games.  I was all hyper in some of the games (Must be the chocolates). Measuring the effect of chocolates on me, it gives me a happy high & I couldn't explain why. 

(Sorry but I LOVE CHOCOLATES! So bare with me. ;-P) 

The event, "Rediscover Reese's Throwback Fair" is for the Filipinos to get to know more about the brand, its rich history, and the taste of the products. This is a place to go in hedonism-mode and think nothing but chocolate. Reese's has been a brand since 1920's & up until now, its the number 1 brand in the US but unfortunately, it is not that recognized by the Filipino taste. But still, people must can't get over with the nostalgic taste of Reese's once they've experienced it. 

Since the event is a throwback, my outfit is a step back into the 70's with flowing pieces and fringes galore. Dressing like a hippie makes me feel like one. I love how how they dress up to express their free flowing spirit without any restrictions. 

Put on my SHOP THRIFT MARKET Ann dress and hugged my waist with a black wide leather belt. 

Flounced around the fair with this KIKAYS BOUTIQUE fringe bag. Just a tip, if you don't want altering your clothes, just add fringes and you can get away with it.

Stepped into my ZARA black leather wedge with fringe to take the look from day to evening. Oh by the way, I had to run off after the event to catch my boyfriend's game so these babies saved me!

The sun was directly shining down on the event & my Zara panama hat was just perfect for the weather.

A nice dress also needs  FOREVER 21 bangles and EDGE CO arm charms. Lastly, a pair of TERRANOVA beaded drape earrings to complete the look.

So when you got nothing to wear for a fair or festival, go all hippie. PEACE!
