Salmon and Red

Structured tops are always a great way to make a sleek impression. Okay, my look isn't sleek, but this top really rocked the entire look. The line on the top really made my upper body look thinner while the structured and uneven finish below made it sophisticated. Of course, my Kristine Collection skirt made it look extra corporate too. I love how pencil skirts can just make anything look classy. My look revolved around gold and white accessories from Fab Czhik to make the entire look interesting. The details on the necklace definitely made it more fun and young. BMS.

Fake Feathers

I always love wearing dresses especially on a sunny, breezy day. The print of this Dress Diaries dress is awesome- fake feathers for the win! I find it easier to wear and to accessorize too. I didn't want that hassle of mixing and matching clothes so this dress was my savior. I concentrated on shades of brown to make the look more feminine and because the prints and colors of this dress was bright and stunning already, no need to excessorize. Never underestimate the power of printed dresses. BMS.

One Sided

The dramatic effect of this one sided top is just jaw dropping. It's actually a dress, but to make it more casual (and so I can wear it during the day), I paired it with plain shorts. This Gurly Glam Shoppe top makes me feel covered and exposed at the same time- I love it. It's actually that extraordinary that I didn't have to wear a lot of accessories to make my look stand out. I just needed subtle animal print accessories to match the top and that's it. BMS.

The New Realism

This is the second look we did for the Stylista x Pantene campaign with Alex Carbonell. This look from the F/W trend report is The New Realism- wherein the vibe is luxurious, defined and elegant with a hint of youth. As you can see, my hair is pulled back making my hair silky and smooth. This is also the first time I've tried this hairstyle and it looks so classy! So, what to wear with this type of hairstyle? Something luxurious- and of course, what would look more luxurious than this top I got from Virgos Lounge? The beaded details are crazy! I absolutely love the everything about this expensive-looking top. I actually got it a long time ago but I saved it for a very special event/ pictorial- like this one. We all know that if you want to look elegant, wear gold. The cream-brown-gold combination made the look classy, but because of the colorful bangles and my studded booties, I was able to make it look more fun. 

So how did Alex Carbonell achieve this hairstyle? Here are some of my behind-the-scene photos. Your hair needs to have that extreme smoothness without the greasy look for that silky smooth finish. You don't want your hair too oily while it's pulled back right? They used Pantene solution so the smoothness will show even without that greasy look/ feel. With Pantene, there's always a way to achieve that silky smooth finish. BMS.

White

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. 

The Grass Is Always Greener

(Girls are Weird earrings/ rings, Topshop corset, Bubbles bracelets, Crossings pants, Luxury Mall wedges)

I wanted to show the "madlang people" the sweet side of me so I wore a floral top paired with bright pants- it definitely screams the word summer! Of course, the curls made it extra girly too. I just love how this pair of pants made my stomach look extra thin because it's high waist and loose on the thigh area (and with the help of my ultra tight corset too). Right after Showtime, I rushed to a very very very far location for a shoot for ETC's show, Etcetera! Yes, I am guesting in one episode that will be aired sometime in April. So excited! BMS.

A Pop Of Color

(Goody spin pins, H&M bra/top, Girls are Weird bangle, Bubbles necklace/spike bracelet/ ring, Balenciaga bag, Eudowear shorts, Luxury Mall wedges)

An all black outfit will never be boring with wedges as colorful as this. It was very hot so I decided to wear a cropped top that semi kind of looks like a sports bra paired with high waist shorts- but to make it edgier, I added a loose crochet top. That way, you can see my outfit underneath even if I'm wearing long sleeves over it. An all black outfit tends to make you look sad/emo so I wore my new colorful wedges from Luxury Mall to make the vibe lighter. Bright pink and purple are perfect colors for this summer and these colors just calls you- it makes you stare at them for a long time and would make you want to have a pair of your own right away (that's what happened to me).
