WANDER

I'm so excited to finally be seeing and posting these pictures since I know Ashley is just one hell of a photographer. I feel so lucky to have him as a friend as we just share the same passion for art and practically have the same aesthetic.We always keep talking about how to make our brand (his: AJY Photo and mine: TiaLacson Blog) better and how to make our instagram feed neater, and nicer and overall just how to get better pictures. 

That aside, I also finally got my "dream dress" from CHOIES(you guys are awesome) and I knew I needed to give the dress justice so I worked with Ashley on this one. I love how it's so sexy yet so elegant and how it's a short dress and a maxi dress/ gown at the same time. 

Just like the saying that goes "Not all who wander are lost"-- we had a pretty hard time looking for locations to shoot this one but finally found the place that perfectly contrasted and highlighted the dress' lovely details and I guess life's like that too. You might feel like you're not headed where you're supposed to be but somehow you find yourself stumbling upon something or some place or someone and making something beautiful out of it.

Hope you all find that little piece of beauty you've been searching for!

With Love,

HYPE

(Mango Top/ Zara Snake Leggings/ Nike Roshe Runs/ Prada Ostrich Bag/ Rayban Aviators)

I'm a little bit too excited for this post since it's really a big deal for me to be wearing sneakers. I have always been told to stick to heels and sandals, but I guess i'm just not so good at listening? haha!

It's my first time to try a sporty vibe and I'm quite surprised at how much fun I'm having with it. ( I even wore sneakers to the airport again today).

Of course the whole look seems a lot different but I still wanted to keep my style so I decided to go for a sleek shadow and went with all black and added pops of orange. I also wore a white Prada bag with it so the look isn't too predictable. What do you think?

TROPIC AND CO-ORDS

(Fetish Couture Top and Skirt/ Asos Heels/ Aldo Wayfarers/ Forever 21 Ring set)

Is it just me or have co-ords just suddenly become something I've grown to love? I never really noticed until now --I was wearing a matching top and trousers in my last post too! If you ask me why I love them, It's actually a great steal for our part since with co-ords we can always mix and match the top and bottom part of the outfit with different things and pay for the price of one! 

I especially love how versatile this outfit from Fetish is since the top can be paired with high waisted shorts and the skirt with anything that goes like a plain cropped top or simply a t-shirt, then you can go for a colorful necklace right after.

I couldn't wait to wear this outfit out since I was feeling extra sunny today so I decided to make the most of the weather before "fall" or the "rainy" season decides to make itself permanent and I'd start pressuring myself to head to the nearest beach to at leat keep my sanity.

SLOUCHY

( Essenxa Top/ Stradivarius trousers and Heels/ Louis Vuitton Bag/ H&M necklace)

I think I just took slouching to a whole new level. Aside from being constantly reminded to straighten my back because I look like a lazy little boy, I insisted on being totally slouchy all over with loose clothes and pants since... well, Monday happened. I know you're probably like "Today's Tuesday...?" but I wrote this yesterday and everything just seems so gloomy right now-- I just want to be in my pajamas with a hot cup of tea and a good movie to watch. I decided to wear blue too, since I'm not in any way excited for today. Seriously though,Who is? 

If you're totally feeling me and you slightly don't give a damn about anything except being lazy, here's how to dress it and still be accepted in your office... XX

EYES ON YOU

(CHOIES Dress/ Rebecca Minkoff heels/ Aldo Wayfarers/ Louis Vuitton Minilyn Bag)

Whenever I think about these eyes on the dress or any other accessory with eyes on them, it serves as a reminder for me to always put in that little effort in looking a little more than ordinary, a.k.a. looking your best everyday. It's probably because you can never control what people think about you when they first see you but you can always give them something to look at--make them do a double take when you're well dressed and tidied up.

I couldn't wait to wear this dress from CHOIES (a fabulous site I regretted not discovering earlier) on a bright and sunny day at the fort and it just went perfectly with one of my favorite shoes. I may be wearing all sorts of blue but I've got ice cream and a sunny disposition and I guess that's all I'm gonna need for a good day ahead.

CLASSIC

 

(Asos Sandals/ H&M Maxi Skirt/ Zara Top/ Mango Bag/ Mac Lipstick)

I swear I have this slight obsession in my mind of being super white so I could just wear lots of blacks and pair them with whites and look smashing with red lipstick on--but unless I abuse whitening soaps and probably not see the sun for a few years, then I should be fine with this.

There's always something so classy about the plainness of the lack of color and something about black and white combinations that will forever be trendy and classic. It just depends on your daily mood I guess and probably the weather too.I for one decided to pair this maxi with a fitted and neat tank top and white and gold sandals. It now depends on you to touch it up with your favorite accessories or your go-to earrings to look really made up.

Look really made up? yes, I just said that. Besides, I find nothing wrong in being slightly "overaccessorized" or overdressed, but when one is underdressed? Oh Dear.

Right?? Right.

ROUGE

(Forever 21 top,skirt and blazer/ Zara Heels/ Statement Necklace from Mom :P)

I don't know why I keep re-using this red midi skirt when I know that I need more of these in my life but by the time I find another good one, I'll probably be too broke to buy it. Also, I've been trying to lighten myself and my work life up through these outfits that somehow make me think I love working and sitting around in a cubicle the whole day.  Maybe i'll just keep distracting myself with the fact that these zippers on my heels are so cool and I should probably stop babbling and zip my mouth too in 3..2..1...
