Where I talk about fashion. These are either my day-to-day looks or looks from events or from fashion shoots. This is also where I talk about things that interest me like trends, throwbacks or whatever may come to mind in regards to fashion.

How To Style An Off Shoulder Top & Wide Legged Pants

Never in a million years would I ever imagine myself slipping into what I can only call disco pants from my grand mother’s closet but I always forget to never say never and well, when you’ve binged watched Girl Boss in a span of 2 days, certain things grow on you.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about dressing up and giving countless workshops about fashion, it’s that when you’re picking out an outfit, you want to create a good shape, an hour glass, if you may- which is what I tried to create in this look. Take note: Wide shoulders, tight waist, wide bottoms.

I find myself having a love- hate relationship with anything ruffled because 1. I hate the thought of strapless bras & 2. ruffles make my ta-ta’s look noticeably bigger than they somewhat are. I don’t like drawing attention to my baby feeders but ruffled tops seem to do just that. However, with the slow and steady uproar of tops like this, I found myself succumbing to trends and now I have not just 1 but 4 ruffled off shoulder tops. God, help me!

So here I am trying to make use of my unjustifiable expenses:

How would you style an off shoulder top?

Styling A One Piece As Outerwear

Posted on by

Honestly, this isn’t my favorite trend. I thought I would like it but apparently, I am extremely uncomfortable about showing my tata’s, no matter how little, to the world. So will I wear this one piece again? Probably not. The bottom wasn’t to snug either anyways. Well you win some, you lose some. But let these photos show to the world that you CAN wear a bathing suit as outerwear, depending on the occasion, of course.

Sometimes I question my question my fashion choices.

There’s something magical about a pristine white dress. There are no words for that exact moment when you walk in, heads turn and it dawns upon how powerful a piece of fabric can actually be.

Lots of women have that one dress that “makes” them like J.Lo’s Versace dress; Lady Gaga’s meat ensemble, Audrey Hephburn’s timeless Breakfast at Tiffany’s look and the list goes on and on. Truthfully, if anyone’s going to remember me in anything, I honestly wouldn’t mind if it was this one. Sure, it’s not a wedding dress or anything, but it I might as well marry it!

I like to say that, “it’s the person that makes the outfit” but sometimes, it’s also the other way around and this dress has by far got to be my best pick-me-up-dress that I like to keep hidden for extra special days. Despite the off-shoulder trend being a big hit in the markets lately, I do not fear the day that this dress becomes a fashion faux pas especially because unlike other renditions of the shoulder baring look, this dress is timeless. It doesn’t hurt that it cost me less than a thousand pesos either.

Babe Who Brunches

Honestly, I hate breakfasts and brunches. They always seem to have eggs in every single dish. I’m allergic to eggs. I say we boycott all eggs!

I also need to start doing my hair more often.

Eggs are the enemy,

Shopping on the internet can be so much fun especially when shopping for casual clothes & accessories however, I’ve never really shopped for formal dresses online. Airmode is one of my latest discoveries when it comes to online fashion, specifically formal dresses specifically for proms, evening events and even weddings!

If you’re looking for black evening dresses try this link: http://www.airmode.fr/black-evening-dresses-c126672/, I would definitely consider checking our Airmode’s choices as they’ve got a mean collection to go through and enjoy. As for me, as far as little black dresses go, I prefer the polar opposite and am opting for a lighter, brighter and a more romantic hue such as this bohemian styled wedding dress:

Happy Shopping,

On a scale of 1- 10 the level of sucking it in that I had to do in this dress is a definite 10 which is why I chose to pair this gorgeous body con dress with my equally gorgeous suede cover up that I scored at Forever21 during their 3 day sale. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! As of yesterday’s quick visit to SM, they’re still on sale!!

And for pointing out the obvious’ sake, yes, I did gain weight and no, I will not be sporting a bikini body this summer but then again, when have I ever? I’m learning how to cook, guys, the food I make has to go some where.

Will write you guys some good stuff soon, I promise. I’ve just been so consumed in work and cleaning- work and cleaning and cooking, that’s basically what my life has been about recently. I’m sure you all can understand ❤

90’s Fashion

There’s a lot going on with fashion nowadays- my moms impeccable then style is now a thing again which means I could have raided her closet… if she had only kept her clothes from way back when.

High waist + ripped jeans, turtle necks, dark lipstick and boots- I’m almost a hundred percent sure I’ve seen my mom wearing the exact same thing almost 30 years ago which goes to show that you should never dispose clothes because you never know when it’ll be in style again. Jk. I do not promote hoarding!

Seriously, I need to unearth some bomb photos…
