Happy New Year 2015!

Last week we rang in the new year and declared, "Out with the old!" and, "In with the new!"

I just want to greet everybody a Happy New Year! I hope you guys had a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones and friends. For me, I spent my holiday season well with the people close to my heart especially my boyfriend, Matt who stayed in the Philippines for us to celebrate our first Christmas & New Year together. 2014 was indeed a good year and I'm looking forward for what 2015 has for me. 

How about you? Since it's New Year, everybody's thinking of what's their new year's resolution. What to change from last year? This and that. The new year makes people welcome change. We make resolutions defining what will be better for our lives this 2015. Even if change is hard, just take baby steps and you'll get there.

I decide to go casual but still fash-i-on as Matt and I went to the mall. Some folks are already posting their New Year's preparation while I'm still at the mall scoring some post holiday sales. By the way, credits to Matt Salem for taking these nice photos. I didn't know you have a photography talent in you love! ;-P

So here are the brands that I wore:

Top: THE URBAN HOUR

Bottom: VETUS SHOP

Watch: VELOCI

Footwear: SHOEDDICTION

Moschino Case: ITS GORGEOUS GIRLS

Earrings: Forever 21

For the nth time, Happy New Year!

Coffee Break

How's your Sunday going so far? Nice, I hope. Mine is so far so good because it's a sunny Sunday outside the coffee place. Oh hello sunshine & goodbye storm! Today, I'm praying for the people in all the areas that were hit by the storm Mario.

For today's post, I thought of posting my outfit inspired by one of the most talked family, The Kardashians. I always go for "comfortable dressy" clothes whenever I'll go to events so I picked out my favorite FOREVER 21 jumpsuit from my closet and added minimal accessories for a classy look. Moschino belt, Forever 21 bangle, EYE KNOW RIGHT two-toned sunnies and KIKAYS BOUTIQUE doctors bag for a perfect finish. 

Before I forget, I really have this thing for color GOLD and I want to thank JUST IN CASE MANILA for sending me over a disco gold Macbook Pro Case that comes with matching gold keyboard protector and dust plug ins. <3

Pull out those playsuits or jumpsuit and style them whatever you want. ;-P

Never Coast

Bad weather or not, it's still a good day to post my outfit wearing one of the coolest crop tee of the year with an inspirational message. I love this crop top because it's a complete mash-up of the new mesh trend today. 

So what's NEVER COAST? To my interpretation, it means that you always have to reach higher and be the best YOU that you can be which I apply to my everyday life.

Sharing this quote to you, "Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up. - Dean Karnazes(Ultra Marathon Runner). What I learned from being an athlete is, you can never know what's going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride and each day has enough trouble on its own. We may fail a lot of times but as what Michael Jordan said, "I failed over & over & over again in my life & that is why I succeed."

Oh! By the way, finally I had time to have a hair makeover. It's been months since I planned everything and I want to thank Ren Ren Santos, one of the Asia's multi-awarded stylists for doing a wonderful job with my hair and making my dream come true. If you want to get your hair and/ make up done by him, call (02) 666 1179. :-D

Forget the librarian look and the school girl skirt because the TWENTEEN pleated skort I'm wearing has undergone some serious fashion treatment and paired it with an edgy Never Coast mesh crop top so it came out absolutely great. Wore it with a chunky mesh peep toe shoes, Moschino sling bag, FASHION SPICE MANILA gold chain necklace & VELOCI  cruiser watch for a street look.

That's it for today and don't forget, never coast!

Game on!

Sporting a casual look/sporty look to my boyfriend's game.  I am wearing a Terranova basic track pants paired with a simple white tank top. This is the first time I tried this look and good thing I was able to pull it off. Since these are the most comfortable pair of pants I own for now, I'll look for reasons to wear them often.

If you want to wear a sporty look, it is important to wear pair track pants with a fitted top. It's easy to lose yourself in a huge baggy shirt when you're looking for comfort but your outfit definitely loses its style quality.

So avoid wearing loose shirts. Track pants have a casual vibe that you really need to step up your game in styling or else the style may look a bit sloppy.

Got shady in a stylish way with my EYE KNOW RIGHT sunnies & UNDEFEATED 5 strike snapback.

And the best part of this outfit is my personalized & handmade EDGE CO gold accessories. I had them engraved "Liss & Matt" behind a barcode tag. They also have different charms you can choose from to personalize your bracelet or necklace. I am so in love with mine!

L is for my love for Moschino. This is my favorite on-the-go bag. I can use it on a regular day and at parties.

The must-have footwear to really achieve a sporty look is sneakers. 

Before I end this, I just want to congratulate the Green Archers for winning their game against UE. The game was breathtaking and they had a good bounce back to win the game. 

So for this outfit, I just want to communicate the sense of being comfortable as well as the sense of fashion. Always put comfort over anything else. But... how about both? ;-)
