December Collaboration with Love & A Bad Hair Day (II)

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Efril and I jumped to Thursday instead of having one for both Wednesday and Thursday and it's sad cause its the last collaboration for the year and I still missed that one day!! :-( haha 

THURSDAY

Black OR Yellow

Efril and I decided to choose from two colors instead of incorporating two into one! Thank God we both didnt show up in the same color! haha Anyway, I had to be in corporate attire this time hence the pointed heels and blazer! :-) 

[dress: H&M

Blazer: Random from Hong Kong 

Necklace: Random from hong Kong

Shoes: Charles and Keith]

I love Efril's top! Looks so comfy!! 

Anyway, I'll be announcing the winner for my first blogger giveaway in a bit so watch out for that! Sorry for the two days delay btw! :-( Been so busy! And cause of that, It'll be my last post till next week! Guhh im having a school crisis right now and I'm so devastated by it :-( And I think cause of that, all my make up gigs will have to be in pause for a short while :-( :-( Anyway, I'm on my last stretch so please please do pray for me and wish me luck!

REVIEW: TND Feature on Leo Cruz

If you were a boy, how would you dress up? That question was asked earlier while having lunch with a friend and I gave the answer of "maybe, someone who is really preppy and trendy but definitely not metro." But TND's feature on Leo Cruz definitely just changed my mind in heartbeat. I know I'm a bit biased because of well, I am part of TND but because features are not as big as the shoots usually do, we do not have to get each other's opinions on whether this is okay or not. Kudos to Boo Umaly who wrote the piece and Leo for giving such great answers to our simple questions, the whole feature blew me off my seat especially because I did not expect this feature to be as inspiring as it is. 

For us fashionphiles, we've always undermined the "ghetto" look as something that only rappers could wear because of the big Nike dunks, big pants and big ass shirts but this guy, takes this kind of style into a whole new level. He definitely changed my perspective on this kind of style with the help of his blog, Goutsdeluxe. So yes, because of him, I would definitely say that if I were a boy, I'd definitely dress like this guy right here. I'm sure you're surprised that I'm saying this but believe me, after reading the feature and go through his blog, bling, rapping and nike might not be so bad after all.

December Collaboration with Love & A Bad Hair Day (I)

A new month, 1 week, another set of pictures, same collaboration! :-)

If you've seen my previous post, I have this ongoing collaboration with Efril of Love & A Bad Hair Day that happens once a month for a whole week :-) We have themes and for this month, its color combination! Thank you Belle for suggesting it to Efril! :-) Here are the first two days! 

Monday

Pink and Grey

[Romper: Hong Kong, Shoes: Kids of Bayo, Cardigan: Terranova, accessory: Indonesia, Bag: Roxy]

I love this because it exudes the girly and classy feel that grey and pink gives. I love how we both styled it in a way where we wore the same grey cardigans! haha Great minds think alike! Right Efril?? :D Haha 

Tuesday

Denim and Brown

Today was supposedly green and blue but we turned out to be wearing the same colors by accident! haha I had such a hard time to put together a green and blue outfit because alot of my blue coverups or blazers are still in the laundry! :-( haha 

[Top: cut out from an old jacket, skirt: Hong Kong, Belt: Folded and Hung, Shoes: Fancy Flats]

*I hate how my skirt makes me waist look really big! :( 

Again we're matching with the belts!! So cute! haha 

Anyway, thats what we had in store for you guys for the first two days! The next two days will be uploaded on Thursday (hopefully)! :-) What do you think of our collaboration?? What do you think should be our next theme for January's collaboration? :-D We cant wait to hear your thoughts! :-)

Most Wonderful Time of the Year

You will definitely know that it's almost when Christmas when there are bazaars every weekend EVERYWHERE! haha This weekend, I went to two!

There's not much to see :-( But the food, big brands discounts and home decor, I suggest you do! Anyway, I went to the one in Nuvo today and I love the pieces I found there. It was a small one but the pieces are really good :-) I finally FINALLY bought new make up brushes!! :-) haha Before that, I went to my tito's house in Blue Ridge and I adore their Christmas tree!
