This is basically an outfit comprised with some of my old + new favorite pieces at the moment. New favorites: This totally gorgeous hat and sunnies. Old favorite: the corset that I scored in ukay ukay a few years back. Totally obvious and beyond wearable, this skirt from Hollymoon is not only very trendy but it gives back my childhood memories too. The prints are so cool and youthful, it allows me to feel my playful side that everyone needs to have sometime. Honestly, we're all kids at heart and this skirt shows it. I paired it with this corset to add some pattern. BMS.

Animal Prints

(Super sunnies, Be Like A Star necklaces, Krisp Collection top/ leggings, Lemon cardigan, Bumbleshop bracelets, Dorothy Perkins Kardashian Kollection bag, Primadonna heels)

It is no secret that I am totally in love with animal prints. Stunning patterns that encompass each prints are always unique and so splendid! Wearing printed patterns usually turn the heads of people and gain attention. I mean, who wouldn't notice a person who's wearing print-on-print-on-print right? This cardigan from Lemon is so relaxing to wear- I feel like I'm wearing my pajamas out! You know how some fabrics are just so comfortable that you'd want to wear it over and over again- or wear it when you're going to watch a movie or chill in Tagaytay, I felt that effect with this cardigan. Visually, it's magnificent when matching to other printed pieces too. These Krisp Collection top and leggings made the entire look very relaxed. And of course, these gold + violet give my ensemble that extra shine that was needed. 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!

Eye Of The Tiger

 (Dolce and Gabbana sunnies, Frou Frou spike necklace/ ring, Seventh Street dress, Chloe bag, Primadonna flatforms)

Second day in Hong Kong and I can already feel the heat! Everyone's really complaining about how hot it is so I put my hair up and wore this lovely dress from Seventh Street so I won't feel as sweaty. Don't you just love how the tiger looks as if he's staring at you and reading your mind? I decided to go with red lips for a PAK effect even if I don't have make up on. Red lips = red bag. I always wear my ever reliable mini Chloe bag whenever I travel- it's so light and you can magically fit everything you need inside this mini bag! Anyway, we went mall hopping the entire day so I'll tell you more about it tomorrow. BMS.

Retro

(Dolce & Gabbana sunnies, Binky Doodles top, Rage Republic necklace, Alexander Wang bag, SM Accessories bangles, Rage Republic pants, Primadonna heels)

Yes, these aren't called retro pants but I'd like to think they are. Different shades of blue make a good combination right? I saw these Rage Republic pants and told myself I had to get them. I think more brands should produce printed pants like these- they're so unique and funky! The psychedelic effect of both my top and jeans I think are meant to be together, really. I didn't want to do my usual edgy look with these pair of jeans so I wore this adorable pearl detachable necklace instead of silver spike accessories to add a feminine vibe. 

Stripes

(Goody ouchless tie, Versace sunnies, Bubbles necklace/ neon bangle, The Chic Closet sheer top, SM GTW dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, Crocs shoes)

I don't know why I decided to go all out on stripes this day, but all I know is I wanted to be comfy because I styled for a fashion editorial for Preview magazine. It was my first time to style an editorial for them and I was so nervous that Vince (my brother) was going to creative direct. It's so funny because you'd think I'd be more comfortable, but I was so pressured- I wanted him to love all the looks I styled. Whew! Anyway, I decided to wear this long dress so I can move around freely and layer this sheer polo from The Chic Closet on top. Since it's sheer and the stripes are vertical, it made a wonderful effect with the overlapping horizontal stripes underneath. The thing about this top is you can wear it alone, as a layer or as an inside piece. Normally, I'd wear it this inside and wear a blazer over it but to be more fun, I chose to wear it as a layer. Lastly, I wore these incredibly comfy Crocs rubber shoes for that japanese-y effect. Peace. BMS.

Rainbow

(Versace sunnies, SM Accessories necklaces, Mademoiselle top, Cole Vintage cover up, Lunachic bangles, Chloe bag,  IAAH shorts, Tribute shoes)

When I came back from Cebu, I didn't have any extra accessories and flats with me and I had to meet with friends after. Uh-oh! Good thing I always have extra items in my car (I swear, my car is my house). I  intentionally left these orange SM Accessories and Tribute flats because I knew they were gonna be handy someday. These flats tamed my very colorful outfit but still made a statement because of its snakeskin design. It's foldable too, so I can bring it with me if I want to wear wedges during nighttime. When I arrived from Cebu, I really looked very vibrant but simpler because I didn't wear any accessories- It's amazing how accessories and heels/flats can actually change your entire look and feel. My advice? Always have extra pieces in your car for emergencies. BMS.

Flowery

(Goody hair tie, Dolce and Gabbana sunnies, TLTSN necklace/ bangle, Iconemesis iphone casing, Plains and Prints top/ shorts, Flipelas slippers)

This was a very and chill day for me. I felt extra lazy and the only thing I had to do was to get a mani/pedi because I have a shoot the next day. Okay, so remember how I told you I really don't wear slippers? well, all this changed when I started taping for My Binondo Girl. Don't get me wrong, I still love heels over flats, but if you know you're going to be at least changing outfits more than 12 times and if you're going to be at a tent waiting the entire day for your scene, then you HAVE to wear slippers. Good thing I found out about Flipelas, an online store that customizes your flip flops. From colors, style, bead work, etc, just tell them what you want and they'll do it for you. My creation of this lavender-mint combination is just pure pastel love for me. Right now, I have about four pairs and I can't wait to wear it to taping. And can I just add- I love my new iphone casing from Iconemesis. This isn't just your ordinary type of casing- they actually collaborated with UK's finest artists to give you the best casings. You can even create and design your own casing. I'm so in love with my cat casing, which is ironic because I really dislike cats. Random. BMS.

Beach Bum

(Tsunami Wear cover up, Versace sunnies, H&M bikini top, SM Accessories bangles/scarf, Island Girl flats)

I can never go to the beach wearing just a bikini- ironic right? But unless you're inside the water, I really think you should at least wear a pair of shorts or a cover up. So I went to Boracay for an overnight stay- actually I was supposed to go with my friends for the entire Labor Day weekend but since I had work, I decided to just follow and spend two days being a beach bum. I wore this animal print cover up from Tsunami Wear because it's so easy to remove and wear again (perfect when you're going in an out of the water) plus it's sheer too so you still have that beach vibe. Of course I had to bring this huge scarf used as a beach towel to protect my things from getting sand inside them. BMS.
