I went back home again and collaborated with Lois as we shot this Lace outfit, and both always manage to make things look more elegant and sweet. We tried out a more whimsical take on fashion and I think I'm finally heading to the right direction for the brand since there's always something about magical realism that pulls me.I'm lucky to be living in a nice village with interesting houses that I can just take a walk and be able to shoot at the gates when decent backgrounds are hard to find. Luckier, since I know I'm working with someone who understands what I want and who understands the quality and vision for TiaLacson Blog that working with her was easy as pie.Although it was always raining in the city and I thought I'd never be able to do an outfit post, I was lucky to find sunshine in the midst of rain and consistent dark skies. 

Hoping the same goes to you.

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,

What does it mean to be free? For me, it’s being able to do what you love, and having the freedom to express yourself.  It means not having to think of all the negatives and just doing what you’ve been dreaming of for the longest time for the sake of fulfilling your dreams and having no regrets in the future.  Freedom is knowing that you’re on the right track—that silvery glistening road that leads to your own bliss.

It’s being able to tell someone that you love them and you miss them without having second thoughts. It’s being able to go where you wish, and travel your hearts desire. Its being able to draw and paint and show people who you are and what you feel. It’s dressing the way you want and not being swayed by the influence of others.

What is freedom for you?

Wishing you all a happy Fourth of July!
