PLAID AND SIMPLE

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.

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...

FEELING YOUNG WITH AMANZI

For about 15 years, swimming always meant endless laps, hard work, pushing ourselves to the limit everyday and a slight nervous breakdown come competition day. We never really saw the pool as a place where we can just chill, have a snack and play around, until now.  We've all retired from competitive swimming for a couple of years now and this was the first time my roommates/best friends/teammates/rivals/sisters and I are in one pool, together again.

So glad that Amanzi swimwear made this whole experience possible for us to bond and catch up, brighten up our day and made us feel like kids again. I love how the suits allow swimmers to express themselves and how it breaks out from the traditional designs (that makes us feel like boys sometimes).

The thin straps also help make us look more lady-like and  help make it lighter on the shoulder for swimmers so that it doesn't hurt when worn for a long time. The higher cut of the suit flatters the figure and makes the legs look longer. Everything about this suit makes me feel better and excited to do laps now that I can look more fashionable and swim fast at the same time.

They are also available at Aqatx store, Level 2, Glorietta 3, Makati.

Wishing you all a bright and colorful day!

TL X PROJECTKAT GIVEAWAY

(Ezra skirt/ Acne leather sandals/ Essenxa blouse/ Project KatAccessories Necklace and Bracelets/Louis Vuitton Clutch Bag)

Today, I decided to go for a more mature look by wearing this fit and flare skirt with a dirty white blouse while adding young and fun details like these bright and colorful accessories that I absolutely adore. The thing I love the most about these bracelets are the fact that they can make any plain outfit look more daring and outgoing just by stacking them. I went for a classy (yet you can totally talk to me because I'm a fun person) look and I hope it was achieved.
