Astars x BMS Giveaway

 (Mademoiselle necklace, Astars top, Furla bag, Dress Code Project maxi skirt)

When the temperature starts to rise, everyone usually resorts to wearing as little clothing as possible- but how about wearing something elegant and breezy at the same time? Probably the easiest way to look classy on the beach is to wear a maxi skirt. This maxi skirt from the Dress Code Project has a high slit, making you feel like you can be comfortable the entire night. There's just something wonderful about the flow of this skirt- it makes it look extra classy. I love the elegance of a maxi skirt, and if your best feature isn’t your legs, then this is a great way to still get a sexy look without exposing your pins. What I love about it is I can wear it on the beach and even in the city too. Now, what's better than pairing it with this halter black top? A printed maxi skirt is extremely versatile, and this ruching top I got from Astars spiced up the whole outfit. There are a lot of directions you can think of when styling this top. The knot effect on top is superb and the style is really one of a kind. The fabric is so soft and thin too! I just wore this statement necklace to balance everything.

Beachy

(SM Accessories hat, Rayban sunnies, Chiz dress, Island Girl bangles, Furla bag)

There's something about the color orange that makes a girl's skin look more tan. I decided to take a rest from swimming and wear this dress instead. Of course, I still wore a swimsuit inside just in case I'll be tempted, but this Chiz dress was the perfect cover up for me. BMS.

Comic Strip

(Goody hair tie, SM Accessories necklaces, Cheap Monday shirt, Fayeness Shop bangles, Furla bag, One TRF leggings/ rings, Feet for a Queen wedges)

I'm feeling super spunky today so I'm not in my usual get up. I tried on my new One TRF leggings with vintage comic prints paired up with cool sporty wedges. Whenever I do errands, I try to be as comfortable as I can- and this look is definitely one of my favorites. My skull ring is an extension of my skull tee, which absolutely find brilliant, which by the way got so many likes on Instagram. Haha. #SelfProclamation I decided to throw on these leggings because it added colors considering how monochrome my white shirt is. BMS.

Colors

(Stylebook Manila necklace and top, Furla bag, Stylebook Manila shorts, Crocs flats)

When traveling, even if it's just out of town or out of the country, I always try and pack light- meaning I try and experiment more with pieces of clothing than accessories... and that's why I completely love these items from Stylebook Manila. They might look like ordinary floral pieces but once you look closely, you'll see they're more special than that. The cutouts on the shoulders make my look more feminine than usual and you must admit, it does make my get up extra stunning too. The shorts, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of the pastel top. It's so bright- I love it and I love it more that they're both from the same online shop. And because I needed comfy flats so I can walk freely all day, I wore Crocs. Fashion and comfort- check! BMS.

Love

(LOVE dress, SM Accessories necklace/bangles/ring, Furla bag, Stylebreak inner skirt, S&H wedges)

Whenever I look more dainty than my usual outfits- I usually have shoots for teen magazines. I had just finished one with Candy magazine and was assisted by the council of cool girls. When I saw them, I really remembered myself when I was 15. I was an intern for Candy and did exactly the same things they did- such a memorable experience! Anyway, I wore this LOVE dress because of its sheer and dramatic long tail. Also, it's so easy to remove when I'm changing into the clothes I have to wear for the shoot. Taking about convenience, I chose to wear these wedges because they're so comfortable and not as high as my other regular wedges. Gold accessories made it look extra classy too, don't you think? BMS.

White

(Goody spin pins, Dolce & Gabbana sunnies, Glam Fashion necklace, Monkee Business top, Hailey & Five bracelets, Furla bag, Fashion Galore shorts, Luxury Mall wedges)

The zipper detail of this clean, white top is so minimal; it's actually the total opposite of this Glam Fashion bib- that's why they look so good together. No need to excessorize too because this necklace stole the show. Now speaking of show stoppers, I think this necklace and my gold studded wedges are made for each other. They just both look so luxurious- definitely worth every single penny. And for the finale, I wore these bright floral shorts to incorporate the "glam-edgy" combination. BMS.
