I guess you can say red is a very happy and lucky color- you wear it when there are special occasions. I wore this monochromatic look and paired it with colorful accessories to give my outfit a surprise. I met up with my Palmolive Naturals Stylista Speaks Contest winner Anne Camille Mendoza (you can check out my post about it HERE). Well, no doubt that she's the winner- just look at her fair skin that she maintains by using Palmolive Naturals White and Moisture Soap! Its formula, infused with 100% natural Papaya and Songyi Mushroom Extracts, gives whiter skin in just one week* (based on instrumental mexameter reading; when used twice daily). Anyway, the prize was a P5,000 shopping spree at Forever 21 and a styling session with me. So let the shopping begin!

Since F21 is so huge, we didn't know where to start! The first few minutes of the shopping spree, we were still kind of shy and trying to get to know each other better. Here we are trying to check out the design and fabrics of the clothes.

 So many pretty shoes! Just like me, she says she's a shoe lover too.

 SALE! We rushed to the sale items but sadly there weren't a lot of sizes for Camille anymore.

 After awhile, we got cozy already and started talking about a lot of things while shopping. Camille is actually a model and has done a lot of print ands and commercials already. Knowing this, I chose simpler tops for her so she can wear it during her VTRs.

 Isn't she so pretty?

 Okay, I guess we really got along. Our shopping/ styling session turned out to be a super fun shopping date! Here we are goofing around with hats.

 For a fair complexion like hers, I chose a lot of pastels and powder pink colors for her. It will make her fair skin pop out more. She also has silky black hair so pastel colors are the best choice.

Here I am with the Palmolive team: Jaja Galang, Paula Pascual, Ninoy Gonzales, Ico Aganon and Trixie Esguerra of Nuffnang. I had such a great time shopping with my winner Camille.

Color Perfect

Do you know what I love about summer? 

It's when you can wear shorts, tank tops, and preppy dresses not only because you want to show off your beautiful skin, but because you don't want the heat to kill you. Recently, whenever I dress up I always find myself revolving my look around prints, especially when they're as stunning and as outrageous as the pieces you see in these pictures: 

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this neon printed silk top online- the colors/ prints in one piece is just jaw dropping. It never fails to make your look more fun and quirky. Bright pieces like this make you look fair, making you more radiant than usual. I actually have a lot of abstract tops like this now- perfect for summer! 

Depending on the type of clothes you wear, some can actually make you look taller, thinner, etc. Some colors, on the other hand, can actually help make your skin look fairer, darker or lighter too. Because I'm wearing a bright orange top, my skin looks more radiant. Like in my outfit here, my pink wedges and red skirt highlighted my legs, making it look fairer and longer (aside from the fact that my wedges are 6 inches). You can also try wearing pleated short skirts to elongate your legs so you can show off your smooth skin.

Combining bright pieces with just minimal accessories definitely highlighted my fair skin. Though I had just been to Boracay (and stayed under the sun for quite some time) my skin was well-protected from UV rays becauseI lathered sun block all over it. I also used Palmolive Naturals White and Moisture Soap to keep my radiant and fair skin alive. Would recommend you guys to try it- it has a formula with 100% natural Papaya and Songyi Mushroom Extracts that promises whiter skin in one week (based on mexameter instrumental reading, when used twice daily). Wearing colored pieces actually makes your skin more noticeable. This summer, don't be shy to show off your beautiful and fair skin.
