NAUGHTYCAL

I have never been attracted to anything striped thinking that It would just make me look wider and the design seemed so unappealing on the racks, but as soon as I bought it and started to wear it, I instantly fell in love at its versatility coupled with hints of classy.

The night before I shoot an outfit, my mind somehow always wanders around the outfits I could wear the next day and this "naughty"-cal outfit made it to the top of the list and made me doze off right away with utmost peace.

I added pearls to make the outfit pop and to complement the stripes and the nude heels.

I think I'm ready to sail away now.

FOREVER

(Photos by Ashley John Yee)

With the summer comes love, romance and promises of forever, and each have stories that they might remember, hide away or treasure. Looking at this maxi dress and its details just remind me of that. How breezy it can be, yet full of romantic details like the red and gold details that tell of passion, and light and royalty. 

I was lucky enough to find this online at www.forever21.com and I could not believe my eyes after shopping from river island and asos, at how cheap forever 21 got. (not saying I wont shop at river island and asos anymore though since they have such great and irresistible items too)

Meanwhile, I wore it with my trusty grendha sandals since wearing heels would be pointless especially in the city I'm in where people don't wear heels even on nights out. I liked it this way though.

A little casual, a little romantic, and full of love.

SKYY

Trying to beat the summer heat by wearing blues and whites and unconsciously resembling the sky. A loose blouse and white trousers to still catch that disappearing breeze in this tropical country and finally realizing whilst shooting that even if its just a bikini i'm wearing, I'll still need airconditioning any minute or perhaps anything cool to soothe me. Bringing along this grey leather bag to complete the look as the sky isn't just all blue and white. It needs to have that tiny silver lining that somehow gives someone hope. As for us, let's just hope this heat becomes more bearable as we find cafe's and beaches to help remedy this summer situation.

POSTCARDS FROM OSLOB AND SUMILON ISLAND

It really is true when people say that the best trips are the spontaneous ones. I have never been more proud to say that it really is more fun in the Philippines, as this trip to Oslob and Sumilon was such a great experience, and won't burn a hole in your pocket. 

Swimming with the whale sharks was not terrifying at all in spite of the fact that they were twice, thrice or four times as big as I was and that I could fit in their mouth easily. They were the most gentle and beautiful creatures and watching them be was a bucketlist moment.
As we were approaching the area with the whale-sharks my driver (who went with me on this trip) started to get nervous as he saw them but I was just awestruck at how lovely they were and I couldn't wait to swim with them. It's too bad that we weren't allowed to touch them since they were sensitive but I'd have to agree with the rules to protect the marine animals. (Disclaimer: it may seem like I'm touching the whale-sharks in some pictures but I am actually 4 metres away from them and it is just an illusion).

Beside the whale shark area was a tiny island with crystal clear waters called Sumilon. We rode a boat going there and it took us 20 minutes or less to get to the place and the view was majestic. Who knew that if we just went around the Philippines more, that we could experience so much happiness and witness so much wonder rather than having to spend thousands and thousands of bucks looking for happiness in other places?

I'll close by stating that it indeed is more fulfilling to spend your money on memories instead of material things.

BLANCO

Decided to take a few snapshots of this casual look I wore to a day out at the mall and thinking that maybe, I really can't escape wearing black and white even though I want to dress more vibrantly. Is it because white is just so clean and black is just pure classy and sexy?

POSTCARDS FROM BORACAY

Spent the weekend at the  Labor Day Event in Boracay a.k.a. "LaBoracay" and we had the best time there. Even though so many people are against it now, I'd have to say being at the beach with good company, seeing a lot of people you know walking the coast and just pure having fun defeats all the reasons to hate.

I was impressed with Viber's services since we got a free pumpboat ride, free transportation to the house we stayed in (Thank you for letting us stay KC! :D ), and free chori burgers...(yummm) just by showing them our viber app! I also chuckled at the cleverness of their hashtag which was #Viberacay and you could also get free wifi by using this.

We spent the second day swimming in this hidden spot in Diniwid beach and sunset sailing while riding the paraw and our day was very chill and relaxing.

Our third day was more adventurous, we rode the flyfish and went island hopping and snorkeling.

We didn't party much, but it was just the fun that my friends and I needed.

Can't wait to go back next year!
