Classic and Classy

(37LA dress turned top, Miss Sartorial peplum belt, SM Accessories ring, Fantasia Clothing skirt, Dorothy Perkins x Kardashian Kollection clutch, Primadonna heels)

Black + Gold = classy and chic. You'll never go wrong with this combination. Whenever I attend night events, I try to be classier instead of my usual edgy, experimental self. Just try and mix it up with fabric, style and texture. BMS.

The Black Dress

(SM Accessories necklace/ bangles, Van Vogue Manila dress, Miss Sartorial detachable peplum, S&H booties)

This one-of-a-kind elegant dress incredibly surprised me- especially when I found out it came from Van Vogue Manila, a local online shop based and the designer really sketches the dresses herself. Don't you just love the front and back detail of this dress?! Wearing this made me so excited- I wore it from day until night. Van Vogue Manila will probably be one of my favorite local online shops. Beautifully in line with my edgy side and great expressing of balance, I wore this detachable peplum from Miss Sartorial for the sophisticated effect. Okay, can I just say, this is probably going to be overused. I love how you can pair this detachable peplum with everything: skirts, pants, shorts, dresses, etc. Definitely adds character to your normal attire. The fact that it's leather too makes it look extra stunning. Bet you thought the peplum was actually part of the dress, right? Seriously, you gotta have one!

This dress can flatter you body shape regardless of any season- that's why they call this attire "the little black dress" na mejo trendy lang haha. During the day, you can wear a blazer so you won't feel too glammed up. If you're going to attend an event, this is THE look. Perfect for a night out with friends while sipping some yummy Bollinger champagne. In other words, this entire look is ideal for the "day to night" look. BMS.

Forest Fairytale

(Rayban sunnies, Urban Dressing dress, Miss Sartorial bag, SM Accessories bangles, Giftsahoy wedges)

There's something about this printed dress that makes me want to scream "WOW". It's also because most of my clothes are printed so it gives me that warm and comfortable feeling. I really worked my look around this Urban Dressing dress. The salmon color is eye catching- and is even lovelier mixed with these exotic prints.  Wearing this dress is totally a high fashion wonder to fit my forest fairytale princess gracefulness (naks! princess daw hahaha). It exudes the overwhelmingly charm with class and glitz- sort of like a balance between classy and edgy. Of course, the cut of this dress really makes my upper body look thinner. Wearing these blue studded wedges equalized my classy and edgy attire. It’s a look of choice to sport my fairytale romance and show my edgy fashion taste at the same time. BMS.

*PS. To the one who sent me these necklaces, please email me so I can credit you. Thanks!

By The Bay

(Call It Spring hat, Emporio Armani sunnies, Giftsahoy necklace/ ring, Freedom top, Miss Sartorial bag, TRF shorts, Sebago shoes)

You know what I love wearing? Sheer mullet tops that can be worn anywhere and everywhere. I went to Cagayan De Oro a few weeks ago and I was so happy that this Freedom top arrived the night before I left. The colors are so cool in the eyes and it made this look have a nice and strong impact. The pattern looks like multiple waves going in different directions. Thumbs up for this psychedelic pattern! To make my look more funky, I wore this transparent bag and made everything inside colorful (yes, the inside of my bag is really a mess). More travel shots tomorrow. BMS.

Bags and Polish

Bags are as important as our tops, bottoms and shoes. I feel naked without a bag because I put all my valuables there like my phone, wallet, perfume, etc. And of course, if there are statement heels- there are statement bags too. Check out these super cool and affordable bags/ clutches:

 Gold Dot oversized clutch

Don't you just love this futuristic-looking clutch? The fact that it's not colored gold or silver makes it 10x better. Use it during the day or night, for sure it'll definitely stand out.

 Miss Sartorial transparent bag

I've been dying to own one of these! I actually saw a Balenciaga bag similar to this- it had a black lining and everything else was transparent. Of course, I couldn't afford it so imagine my joy when I found this one! It's so cute especially if all your things are colorful inside. 

Maris Online tote 

Speaking of Balenciaga bags... This really caught my attention. I think this will be the perfect recycle bag for me. I don't really have to explain how clever this tote is. End of discussion. 

 Mamasushi tribal clutch

I'm just a sucker for tribal prints- and I'm so thankful I now own this. It can make any simple outfit look young and funky. Plus the subtle bead work in the middle and strap makes it look more classy. 

 Of course, if you're going to be going out wearing a nice dress and a cute clutch, it'll be embarrassing if your nails aren't perfectly polished. I hate it when my nails aren't pretty. I think every girl will look extra pretty when they have polish on. It's actually very hard to find nice and reliable online stores that sell nice nail polish and I'm so thankful I found Polished, this online shop that sells the cutest nail polish colors ever. Okay, so you really can't see the colors in this photo (I tried being artsy lang haha) so I'm posting another one so you can see them clearly. 

Polished nail polish (L-R):

      OPI Holland collection- A Roll In The Hague. Brights is the way to go!

      OPI Nicki Minaj Collection- Save Me. Glitter like blue/yellow/pink combination. The best I found so far.

      OPI Nicki Minaj Collection- Did It On 'Em. Neon!!! Need I say more?

      OPI Nicki Minaj Collection- Metallic 4 Life. For that futuristic vibe. 

      OPI classic collection- california raspberry. What I'm wearing right now. The color is so classic and sexy.

They don't only sell OPI- they have Essie, Zoya, China Glaze and other amazing nail polish. If you're a true nail polish addict, you'll definitely go crazy with the brand and colors they have. Don't you just love that "kilig" feel you get when you step out of the nail salon? I always show off my hands after haha. By the way, they actually have an ongoing contest now where you can win their China Glaze Magnetix Collection. Check it out HERE. Remember, beautify your nails. BMS.

Clashing Prints

(Jhajing earrings/ring, Miss Sartorial detachable collar, H&M top, Chanel bag, vintage leggings, Marni heels)

When people wear detachable collars, it's usually paired with round neck tops- I choose to wear loose tanks, so that they can really stand out. For this look, I'm sure you've noticed that I wore clashing prints all over- this actually wasn't planned. I've had these leggings for years now and I've been dying to wear them with a Gucci-inspired sailor loose top (but I haven't found the perfect one yet) so I just worked with what I have in my closet and found this neon top that's perfect for our weather nowadays- striking hot. If you check the pictures again, you'll notice it's a bikini I'm actually wearing inside my tank. Yes, why not try mixing printed bikini tops with your everyday outfit? Give it a shot. BMS.
