Every Cloud has a Silver Lining

And yes! Every cloud has a silver lining. If we take the literal meaning, then yes even the darkest cloud has a silver lining & nature can prove it. I really don't like it when its gloomy and rainy, it's just depressing. This time of the year, the weather's kind of bipolar so it's really hard to decide what to wear. In my experience, I went off in the morning with a bright sunny day and just wearing a tank top and shorts then all of a sudden, the rain poured in the afternoon. Bugger!

I'm sharing this proverb because it contains a very deep wisdom that helps people get through with the difficulties they are facing. After the bad days, good days follows. We may face failures but it's the only ladder to success. Channeling optimism through my blog.

Dark & gloomy days place me in a dark mood while sunny days make me feel bright & happy. And so I thought of a better way to brighten up my wardrobe on a gloomy day with a flash of metallic. You can definitely shine on in a metallic frock or even from head-to-toe and you'll surely look bedazzling. 

When I saw this THE URBAN HOUR silver skater skirt, I told myself it has to be mine. I thought this skirt is a statement piece. Metallic color & skater skirt style, two of my favorite things in one. I think I have an unconscious thing for metallic stuff especially silver and gold.

Pair the silver skirt with a top appropriate enough for work & festive enough for a cocktail party afterwards. I chose to wear one piece that I love from my corset collection and covered some skin with I LOVE KIMONOS white kimono. I got this lovely corset from THE BRAND TRUNK.

Since I'm wearing pearl earrings, I paired it with this impressive EIGHT 8 AVENUE Onyx Necklace that enchants the whole outfit with its beautiful facets.

These comfortable MONICA LEE wedges will take you from a busy day at work to a casual night without ease.

Again, every cloud has a silver lining. I certainly agree to this proverb. Have you seen the Silver Lining? Literally & Metamorphically? Remember, there is darkness in your life but the sunshine is all behind you.

Say Goodbye to Dull, Dry, & Dark skin!

I have to admit, whenever I see the word "organic" attached to anything, I immediately see Peso signs. Organic skin care products have been all the rage for awhile now but I highly recommend it than chemical products that contain harmful toxins. Organic skin care products are much gentler than traditional products. It makes your skin looks better without the use of harsh irritants. No wonder, people are going green these days.

So when it comes to your skin, it is important that we are proactive in choosing products that are good for us. Better be prepared because there are a bunch of reasons why organic skin care products are the way to go.

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? ;-)

Laid Black

Some people make color choices a big deal each day. Do you feel like wearing bright colors or dark colors on different days? The color choices some make have meanings behind it. I guess I'm one of those "mood dressers" as what they call it. 

For this day, black is the color to wear but don't get me wrong. I wore black not because I'm depressed but because of the weather. It was gloomy outside when I peeked from the window so I assumed its going to rain and my forecast was right. I'm glad I wore all black going to the event. I don't like the idea wearing bright colors when its raining so hard outside. Do you feel me?

Black is a fashion staple and pretty much go with 
everything and that can be worn to a different occasions. This THE URBAN HOUR black jogger pants are a perfect mix of both lazy day comfort and runway ready style.  Just perfect to go to an event on a rainy & lazy day.

Paired the jogger pants with a basic tee from BANANA REPUBLIC. 

Adding a pair of block heel sandals made me feel dressed up.

Spiced up my all black outfit with gold accessories. My choices to go with this outfit are FASHION SPICE MANILA chunky chain necklace, THE KIKAY ETC arm candies & VELOCI TIME cruiser watch. 

Mixing gold and black is a wardrobe makeover.

Don't get me wrong, I may feel lazy but when I put on clothes like this  but I feel strong, confident & comfortable. It's better to wear my clothes, and not have them wear me.

3 out of 18

Dance Diva Regine Tolentino has just recently launched RT INFINITY SHAWLS, which can be bought at REGINE'S BOUTIQUE. Check out their Facebook & Instagram account if you are interested or you can go to Unit 6 & 7 Valencia St. Corner N. Domingo St. Valencia Hills, Condo. Commercial Complex, Brgy. Valencia, Quezon City. 

I am not really a fan of scarves or shawls but who would have thought 

you can wear a shawl in 18 different ways?

For those of you that don't know, an infinity shawl is just a giant loop of fabric but it can be styled from being a simple shawl to a halter dress.

So I thought I'd show you the 3 out of the 18 ways I would wear the infinity shawl.

1.) BEACH WRAP SKIRT

This way is easy to pop after a day at the beach without dragging those sandy feet through your skirt. Paired it up with a cute STYLE N SHINE bandeau. Slipped on my Forever 21 body chain & BELLA MANILA cute gold sandals that matches my LAROVE SHOP  sunglasses and I'm good to go.

2.) HALTER DRESS

Turned the infinity shawl into a halter dress baring enough to turn head around. It's just easy. You need to step inside the scarf, pull the ends at the right and left sides, then tie or pin those ends together over your neck. Fasten with a gold plated belt to accentuate your curves.

3.) KNEE LENGTH SKIRT

This lightweight infinity shawl falls lightly over your curves and offer casual comfort for a day of errands or work. I like the sporty/casual dressy vibe of this outfit. Slipped on my Bensimon pair to complete the casual look. I usually opt to just wear a watch like from BENCH TIME on a day of errands to track time. If you are unsure about showing 

 So there you have it! 3 out of 18 ways to wear your RT infinity shawl!

So what's your fave way of styling the Infinity Shawl? Go try it yourself!

Here Comes the Sun

The sun has finally come out after the dreadful storm, Glenda. I pray for the families who lost their loved ones from the typhoon. The weather is amazing now so I took advantage of it and decided to wear my aztec print cropped top from CERE COUTURE. 

Wearing Aztec prints demonstrates that you know how to keep up with trends. You can pair this amazing print with solid color or leather. The top looks fantastic with the leather shorts from MAUDE CLOTHING.

More importantly, style up your outfit with accessories. These prints are bold so its better to keep your accessories minimum. You don't want to look like a tribal print gone wrong.

Aztec prints go really well with gold accessories. Wore my Forever 21 gold bangles & gold coin hoop earrings. 

Since the sun is out, it's a perfect day to wear my Forever 21 Panama Hat and SUNNIES HUB Sunnies.  

Fringes really give your outfit that little pop of bohemian so KIKAYS BOUTIQUE fringe shoulder bag is perfect.

An easy choice  of footwear for this outfit is my Zara ankle boots because its great when you're on the go. I can wear this comfortable pair all day.

Don't shy away from bold prints! 

I hope this has given you some style inspiration.

Dare with a Twist

Here's a serious question, "Have you ever felt that you're holding back from wearing something?". My answer would be a big YES! I've been seeing a lot of these dresses on the internet and also when Emma Watson wore it although I was hesitant to give it a try. But it's time to conquer my fear and put on a checkmark on my wish lists.

One thing I love about a dress is it can be transformed and styled for different occasions. I wore my INDIEGO-GO BOUTIQUE twist front maxi dress in hippie style. It's not only comfortable but it's equally wearable for day as it is for night. 

For a day look, I wore it with my GEORGINA SASHA round-framed #Gsunnies & Forever 21 Panama hat.

Don't forget to put a fringe accent to get the indie bohemian look. I got this nice fringe bag from KIKAYS BOUTIQUE.

Slipped on to these edgy gold plated sandals.

 THE KIKAY ETC Arm Candies & rings.

DCG FASHION's statement necklace to finish the look.

If you have fear and it's holding you back from something, don't let it swallow you and approach it with confidence. You'll feel damn good when you finally break through.

You'll only find out if you take that one extra step off your comfortable edge.
