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,

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.

SUNNY

A subtle sheer mesh lining on my white midi-skirt and a black cropped top with an "X" at the back provided the necessary lines I was looking for in today's outfit. Hints of gold to add a little bit of glitter to this black and white number as the yellow painted walls in Venice Piazza nodded in agreement. A little romance, a little flirty, and a bit edgy, I was happy a girl around town, basking in the sunshine and taking pictures with palm trees like someone who can't wait to hit the beach.

March 16, 2014

The summer season is fast approaching and today was the perfect day for fresh fruit shakes.  Javi and I spent the day going to the Holi festival-- an Indian festival of merry-making where they throw bright colored powder at everything coupled with lots and lots of dancing. The bluish-white sky turned pink, orange, purple and electric green and it was magical.It was a fun-filled day even though it was scorching hot and the fact that the event was held beside the bay was just amazing, not to mention that they had potato corner stalls nearby, my day was complete.
