DOLCE

 

(Asos Lace Dress/ Zara Heels/ SleekUK Vamp x MAC Heroine lipstick)

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.

 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.

PLAID AND SIMPLE

(Choies Two Piece Suit/ Louis Vuitton Clutch Bag/ Asos heels/ Sunnies Studios Sunglasses/ Forever21 ring set)

I wasn't always a fan of matchy matchy stuff until I found this Black Plaid Sleeveless Top and High Waist Slim Pants from Choies. It instantly helps pull your look together with its classic print plus it gives off the illusion of a tall and slender figure which I think is a plus for most of us. It was also unbelievably affordable and so fashion forward that when I had to pick something from the online shop, I know this was what I really wanted. 

What I love about Choies is that they have these two piece suits that you can buy as a set, and isn't that just wonderful? 

I paired it with a pearl necklace and red sunglasses to give off that vintage vibe and I brought this white Louis Vuitton clutch bag that surprisingly carried everything I needed like my phone, powerbank, and a few make up essentials.

 I may or may not have fallen in love with the black, red and white combo as I think I'm having another relationship with pastels but I just can't seem to escape the former. I unconsciously find myself pulling out either a black top and white pants or the other way around and just wearing a red lip or red accessories, just because.

I also had the chance to shoot with one of my co-bloggers from Bacolod, Days with Dia and it was so much fun especially since Bacolod is such a small city, and everyone's just friends with everyone, so we had the chance to catch up and chat (and speak ilonggo all throughout!). We were photographed by my dear friend Third and I've never been more happy with the outcome. I think this is something we'll be doing quite a lot from now on.I was so happy to be with people who share the same passion with me and I think you guys should check them out too!

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.

FREE

(Forever21 Top and Shorts/ Asos Heels/ Louis Vuitton clutch bag/ MAC Ruby Woo Lip)

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!
