Laid Back in Iloilo

 (Jimmy Choo sunnies, Plains and Prints chambre, H&M top, Long Champ shorts, Amadora necklace/ bracelets, Bubbles shorts, Fila socks, Crocs shoes)

I'm always in Iloilo- and I never really get bored when I'm there. In fact, I love being there- that's why I brought my friends this time! Hahaha. I love wearing laid back clothes. When I go there, I'd like to keep my look as comfy as I can because I know I'll be on vacation mode. I wore this pair of comfy and affordable Bubbles shorts just so I can move around freely and to make everything look more trendy, I wore these necklace and bracelets from Amadora accessories. Aren't they so nice?! I love the combination of the claw + studs in one arm.  Metals and silver are always a good pair with denim. Even if the necklace is a bit striking, it doesn't overpower the total look. It was a very bright day so thank goodness I brought these new foldable sunnies. Even if the classic frames are contrasting my laid back ensemble- ironically, it added flare. Oh, and did you notice my cute polka socks? I just saw the new collection of Fila and I love all their colorful and printed socks! Yey!

Anyway, here are some photos taken via my phone from my Iloilo trip.

 Thank you Dominique and Camille from Iloilo for giving us these cute neons bracelets! 

 Foldable Jimmy Choo sunnies and my forever reliable Sony RX100. 

Seriously, I think I need to be a brand ambassador for Iloilo. Hahaha! I love this city. BMS.

BW Kitty

(H&M hat, Lemon Shop top, Mauve necklaces, Dolce and Gabbana bag, Zara leggings, Crocs flats) 

So I was lucky enough that the weather wasn't extremely cold this day in Ningbo so I didn't have to layer clothes anymore. I really love this Lemon Shop top because of the studded collar and the shoulder cut outs. It looks so trendy and classy at the same time- ironic right? I really lucked out when I found this top online before I left for China. I will never stop saying this- I love shopping online. The gold necklaces + silver studs make a great combination too! Wearing this top was perfect because I buttoned it all the way up so my neck won't feel cold. To make it look extraordinary, I wore this furry hat and boy did I love it. Now I'm gonna start collection hats like this. BMS.

Btw, thank you Dad for taking my photos! Hahaha. Effort di ba! 

Red It Is

(Super sunglasses, Wardrobe Check corset and skirt, Mauve accessories, Casio watch, Crocs flats)

There's always a first time for everything! This doesn't apply to just life experiences, but in clothes as well. I went to Tagaytay a few weeks ago with some friends for my birthday. I knew it was going to be a fun day so I wore this unique checkered top and printed peplum skirt from Wardrobe Check. I was very surprised with this corset + cropped top- the details on the back adds a little drama on my outfit and gave the entire look a surprise.  This peplum skirt on the other hand really helps me hide my stomach! Plus the fit is just perfect. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone! I love it when I pair items from the same store- less hassle for me. I wanted to be more playful for my entire look so I wore this skull and spike bracelets for an edgy effect. BMS. 

Candy Colors

(Mademoiselle necklace, LOVE top, Fashion Galore vest, House of Luxe bangle, Marc By Marc Jacobs bag, Shortcuts shorts, Crocs rubber shoes)

This is what I wore to the Crocs event last week. I wanted to be a bit more playful because it was a young event, so I wore a candy-inspired outfit. The collar definitely matched the color of my shorts (which were actually Patricia's, but I found it too cute, so I stole it hahaha). I also did a play on denim by matching my denim vest with my dip dyed shorts. Too bad I already dyed my hair back to brown or else it would've looked better with my blue ombre hair. To tame down my very colorful outfit, I wore these comfy Crocs shoes in basic white. 

The event started with me welcoming the new users of Crocs- Camille Co and David Guison. I love that they're both my friends too! And of course, they also launch their new website. I was part of their NCNY campaign last year, so upgrade na talaga to. Cool, right? 

If you click on my section, I'll be asking you several things so I can get to know your style more, and at the end of everything- I'll be recommending certain styles of Crocs shoes for you. 

Lastly, they have a promo too! You can win a FREE 3-day, 2-night weekend getaway at Shangri-La Hotel for two! And it's so easy to join. You don't even need to move on your seat. Start your day right and check you NCNY's website. 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.

This was for Preview Magazine August 2012 issue featuring Croc's NCNY winner, Lia Espina Lopez. I bet you don't know know which one she is- I was shocked because she poses like a pro! She's the one in the middle in the first photo. Check out Crocs new collection- you'll be pretty surprised with what they have. BMS.
