The Sun Will Shine

collage 1

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey there!!!!!
You might be wondering where on earth I have been….
I can’t even figure where to start. To cut the long story short, I’ve just journeyed through what I can recall as the most treasured and memorable part of my life that I wasn’t able to visit the blogosphere for the longest time. Sorry to keep you hanging for 3 months (What?? Was I gone for 3 long months?) O.o I barely noticed.
Well, worry no more for I am back! *insert a wide grin here*
I’ve got tons of stories to tell you and I’ll try to share them in my blog anytime soon.
For the meantime, let’s talk about what I wore yesterday.

You might have noticed the lovely rays of the sun which kept me wondering how they got into my pictures.
Maybe mother nature was just trying to help. hihi

Red and black may be the first choice for those who are brave enough to conquer the grungy look. Just wanted to outwit that notion. It doesn’t have to be that way all the time. You can go from hip and grungy to classy and girly in striking red and black, see?

 You may opt to add golds and pearls to soften the look. With the right accessories and footwear, you’ll surely pull it off.

The best part of wearing something red or anything striking is that you don’t have to wear too much accessories because the color speaks for itself.

Tricky tip: Notice how the lacy skirt changed the whole look. It would have been a different story if I chose to wear faux leather jeggings, right?

By the way, STYLISTA, INC. recently launched its 18th collection and guess what? Peplum tops like the one I’m featuring are there! Be the first to get one for yourself. ;)

  On a serious note, I know that a lot of Filipinos are facing the most tragic phase of their lives. Recently, typhoon “Pablo” hit the Philippine shores with its raging winds, traveling at 210 kph. Several lives have been lost and families left abandoned. Along with the title of this post comes the call for help and hope that the sun will shine again on the people devastated by the typhoon. We’ll get through this just like how we surpassed the innumerable challenges we’ve had before. Trials like this bring out the best in us as Filipinos and collectively as a nation.

Surely, the sun will shine again. 

Little Miss Sunshine

 

I know it’s been a while since I updated my blog. I just had a whirlwind of errands lately. Hope you understand. :(

Going back to our track…..Tadah! Another outfit post! haha

Peplum tops and dresses have been a crazy trend these days. You can see them anywhere—–from magazines, fashion blogs, shops and the long list goes on. Earlier this year, I had a first glimpse of peplum skirts and I never thought this would hit Philippine shores too soon. Never did I imagine myself wearing one. Yes, believe me when I say that.   ;)

tricky tip: Always remember that not all fashion trends suit one’s body type so might as well scrutinize an item first before you actually purchase it . See if it looks good on you or flatters your body shape. You don’t want to end up being a fashion victim, do you? ;)

Speaking of fashion trendscut-outs made its mark in fashion runways as well.

So I thought, why not mix both in one look? :D

And that’s how I came up with this:

Whoa! Now this is what you call two trends rolled into one! What more can I say? :D

Looks like I ended up loving peplums as well! ;)


I spiced up the look with a candy-colored tribal skirt. This looks more bright and vivid up close! When I saw this skirt, I fell in love with it right away.  Well, fashion love that is. How’s that even possible? I think I’m going cuhrazee again. ;)

A good set of rings deserves a close-up shot.
tricky tip: If you’ve noticed, I’ve piled up two rings in my index finger. Yep, that’s right! You can put rings on top of another just like what most people do with bangles or bracelets.
When we talk about accessories, gold never goes out of style.

For those of you who might be wondering what lip shade I’m wearing, it’s More To Love by MAC.

Hope you’re having a bright and sunny day!

Until my next post! ;)

Preppy Plaid

Hey there!

I woke up early today to run a few errands. As luck would have it, I finished the first on my to-do list earlier than expected. That means one thing—–I can snip off a bit of my time to update my blog. YAAAAAY! :D

It’s me channeling the preppy girl look.

A brown leather bag, plaid dress with puffy sleeves, and a nude-colored oxfords are certainly present in every school girl’s closet. 

You can own a plaid dress from STYLISTA,INC. by clicking this.

If you’re too languid to click the link, oh well I am here to make things easier for you :)

Tadaaah! * just like a fashion fairy godmother*

Ooops! Gotta go, guys! Have a nice day! :D

Paint The Town Pink

This is what I wore a while ago. Since I was running out of time to dress up, I just grabbed this pink floral number and added nothing else. I just wanted to wear something simple and not over-the-top.

Tricky tip: Whenever you’re in a hurry, a cute printed dress always comes in handy.

Never thought it would rhyme that way! hihi I guess that would be my fashion mantra from now on. *wink

If you’ve been reading my blog for quite some time, you probably figured that I love wearing anything classic. As much as possible, I like to stick with what’s basic. Nevertheless, I try to add interesting pieces just to swerve away from being  plain and boring.

Since I wanted to paint the world pink, I decided to go all the way with the said color scheme —-from top to bottom! haha And oh, the two-toned clutch given by my best friend, Chokie, complemented my dress perfectly!

By the way, pleated dresses will be included in STYLISTA,INC.’s 11th Collection which will be released next week.Yep, you heard me right! For updates, like us on facebook by clicking this.

The shoes marched along the pink parade as well! ;)

Add a tinge of blue and gold to your look with the use of accessories like the ones below:

Here’s another tricky tip: Observe how a bag changes the look in just a blink of an eye! You can use a floral satchel during daytime and switch to a two-toned clutch when Mr. Sun says bye-bye. An envelope bag or a clutch instantly glams up every look for any night event you have in mind.

Hope you like it!

PS: I’m planning to update my blog every other day or if time permits, I’d like blogging to be part of my daily routine.  I might try it next month. Well, let’s see if my clock ticks with me. *keeping my fingers (and my toes) crossed* LOLJK

What do you think?;)

Color Duet

Blue and orange may be an unlikely combination but I’d like to prove that wrong! ;)

With the right accessories and pieces to match the top, you’re on the right track.

Tricky tip: Just keep in mind to balance the look with toned down numbers like the one I used : simple white shorts and gladiator sandals. In this way, the lovely colors of the top will still be noticed.

The tribal beads of my dangling earrings and the studded leather bracelets all the more added accents of orange/rustic appeal to the garment.

You see, it isn’t that bad right?

Here’s the good news! STYLISTA, INC. recently launched its 10th Collection! :) And guess what? Two-toned tops and lace shorts are up for grabs! Click this if you want to have one for yourself. ;)

You can choose from a variety of unique color combinations such as:

Salmon Pink and Sky Blue

Hot Pink and Yellow

Sky Blue and Light Brown

Feel free to take your pick! ;)

What unusual color combination would you like to mix and match? ;)

V is for Violet

Warning: photo-heavy entry ahead ;)

Just to make up for the lost time, here’s another long fashion post for you guys! You’ll know why in a bit.

This is what I wore last Sunday during the movie night with the fambam and kuya Jibb. Spiderman was one heck of a movie! Yeah! Coming from someone who watches movies once in a blue moon! haha Guys, it’s a must-watch!!

 Let’s get down to business this time, shall we? :)

Loooookie! the lacy side detail is a sweet surprise, huh?This skirt has been sitting in my closet for months already. Good thing I saw the beauty in it and made this as my focal piece to work with and eventually came up with the lacy                     bat-wing blouse and a pair of two-toned ballet flats to match.

Make it a point to own two-toned pieces which will make pairing a problem no more. In that case, you can choose one or why not make use of both hues to come up with a look?

Neat cheat? Y for YES!! haha!! :D

This post is different from the previous ones I’ve made solely because I didn’t stick with only one look (well, relatively the main garments are the same but I added few side dishes to spice up everything!). Please drop your comments below if you think it’s helpful or not. :)   I’d wholeheartedly appreciate it! teehee

Here, I’ve added another element: a satchel which belongs to the same color scheme I wanted to play with. This one’s perfect for school too! It’s big enough to hold notebooks, standard-sized books or an ipad. You might want to order one for yourself by clicking this. :)

If you’re in the mood for some geekiness, button up your top and put on your hipster glasses! Still works, right?

For those who want to step up their game, adorn your neck with a lovely beaded bib necklace of your choice. It’ll change your look in a jiffy! Trust me! :)
You may also opt to don a beanie hat to ground the whole look down.
Effortlessly chic and shabby that is. 

Yep, that’s pretty much it! Hope you like how I altered the look a wee bit to fit every taste of my beloved stylistas out there! ;) Whatever fashion sense you have, may it be simple, extraordinary or whatnot, hope you found something that pleases you.
I ended up wearing the basic look minus the bag. I used a small navy blue fringe bag instead. Sadly, I wasn’t able to take a quick pic because I swapped bags at the last minute! How fickle-minded! haha

Hope this post was of any interest to you! :)
Please tell me what you think of the looks I came up with. :)

Dress Up

  STYLISTA,INC‘s 5th collection is finally here!

Mullet skirts are back this season!—- but STYLISTA,INC raises the trend few notches higher by offering mullet dresses! These lovelies would spare you from figuring out which top to pair skirts with. Ingenious? Yes, we thought so too! ;)

Have a nice day guys! :)

Put a Ribbon on It

My sister, Shey and I did a bubbly photoshoot last Saturday to launch STYLISTA, INC’s All Dolled Up Collection.

For a change, we decided to shoot indoors this time. 

 The funny thing is, I literally had to grab anything from the shoe rack because we barely had time to prepare. I never knew the x-strapped wedges matched pretty well with my dress until I saw the shots. Whew! *A sigh of relief here*

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I tweaked my hair color a wee bit. If you ask me what color it is exactly, I really can’t figure it out myself. I might just try to post about this next time. ;)

Enough of my random hair story, feel free to check out our All Dolled Up Collection here.  ;)

Have a nice day guys!
