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,

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.

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!

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
