Mae & Kelly's wedding

This was from last saturday,our family was invited to my brother-in-law's brother's wedding (whew!). These are random photos from my phone. Btw, i really loved what I wore that day. Hee check out my pic with my older sis (in pink) who btw, just gave birth six months ago! Xo! 😊

on the radio

This is how it works..

You're young until you're not

You love until you don't

You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry

You cry until you laugh

And everyone must breathe

until their dying breath

No, this is how it works..

you peer inside yourself

you take the things you like

and try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made

and stick it into some,

someone else's heart

pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm

you hope it don't get harmed

but even if it does

you'll just do it all again.

I HATE UNIFORMS!

December is supposed to be the month at the office where we can wear business casual and not our hideous red and gray uniforms.. but the memo that was supposed to announce this wonderful joyous thing did not arrive.. Not until after Christmas did some of my co-workers start to not wear their uniforms, so I followed suit (pun!) and wore this today. I wish I could’ve done this for the whole month though and not just the last week of it.. Oh well! *))

ps. i love this blazer, the fabric is like the one used in hoodies, but it is not a hoodie, but yes a blazer! I actually just bought this to maximize my shipping fee. Turns out its even better than the jacket I originally bought. a-w-e-s-o-m-e! *))

Fanning fanfare

I've been long since a fan of Dakota Fanning's acting and under-stated but out-there fashion sense.  Now her younger sibling Elle comes out of hiding and steps right into the spotlight.  Here I think we have the makings of another Olsen-esque pair.   If you haven't seen these yet, I just had to share the stunning photos of them taken by Mario Sorrenti, styled by Lori Goldstein for W Magazine's December 2011 issue which they cover.

My favorites are the first (Valentino) which is the cover photo and the last two below especially Elle's Rodarte edgy-modern look paired with those exquisite vintage gloves. Eternal chic!

La Parisienne.

Stumbled upon a photo of this book on Daphne Osena-Paez's blog and I just had to search for it.   Parisienne style is something I am really into, from their homes to their clothing, simplicity infused with a vintage/nostalgic feel.   Now I finally have it!  Went out with my bro for some coffee the other night along Katipunan and saw that the Fully Booked store was still open (at around 11 PM).   I asked him to pull over so I could check if they have a copy.  Lo and behold, this is their very last one (!).  It was somewhat battered, probably due to other fans' browsing but I just could not let the chance pass.  So I bought it.  *)   The staff was nice enough though, and offered to have it plastic-wrapped to preserve it's beautiful deep red cover (free of charge!). *)   This book is a real God-send if one is a chronic fan of the Parisian lifestyle.

Styling practice @ themall.ph

It took me quite a while to really know what I want to do in life.  Now that I do, I kept thinking so How  do I start? Where do I begin? If it's not obvious what it is, well here's a hint.. it's fashion-related! Ha ha! Well, it's "Fashion Styling" to be specific.

So I figured, I need to be putting all my energy into this if I really want this to happen.  I need to start saving up and put my self to fashion school.  In my opinion, you do have to have the "talent"or the feel or the knack for putting together different pieces for that perfect outfit to exhibit a statement or just simply express  your mood for a certain day. (okay, run-on sentence..)  But I also believe that it wouldn't hurt to learn and research and expand your knowledge and talent on something you really love.  It would be a great help for you to climb over your mountain and reach your destination!

Well, so surfing the net, I came across this local site that would help me (or you!) practice your  gift of fabulous styling and showcase it; and what's great about it is that it gets you access to all the awesome clothing, shoes and accessories that you need to create your masterpiece(s)!

So 'nuff said.. 'coz i'm having a blast creating outfits on THEMALL.PH! I should've done this ages ago!  Here are some that I've put together..


Sunday unwind.  Now this is definitely a weekend outfit, just add a chunky necklace and a huge carry-all.
See details of the items and Like this outfit  here.

Chic and chill. I would probably wear this on a casual work day..
See details of the items and Like this outfit here.

Just because.  Now this I would wear.. just because.  (Add a chunky necklace and small shoulder bag.)

 See details of the items and Like this outfit here.

Fashion sites like these are a good way to practice your styling skills.  Go ahead and try it on for size!
Go to http://www.themall.ph/my-closet/ and create your own closet and style your fabulous outfits to death! *)

DKNY Spring 2012

~I've never really been into tight clothing as I have a very slim fig..(lol, pun!) I usually wear something tight then put something loose over it.. So it follows that it makes me very happy to find that men's wear have really been infused in women's wear these days, quite seamlessly and beautifully at that. My fave looks from this collection..

~ For work.. This blazer dress FTW!

~ For day.. This outfit is soo "chill!"

~For night.. Sans the hat, with a tighter, shorter skirt and probably more-a-killer heel! *)
