POSTCARDS FROM PARADISE

(Triangl Bikini similar here/ Aldo Sandals/ Thrifted Sunnies)

Sunday's always meant Rest and Relaxation to me and there's no better way to give yourself a break than a trip to the beach. I've always wanted to visit Samal Island since my last trip to Davao last July and never really got the chance since we had loads of work to do that time, but I made sure that the next time I headed back, I wouldn't pass up the chance to go to Samal.

So thankful that my friends took me to Paradise Island in Samal Island, where we did nothing but chill and swim and eat and walk around. It was just so relaxing. Not to mention that it only took about 15 minutes to get here from Davao City, getting here didn't stress us out one bit. We rode a cab to the port and it only took us around 5 minutes then rode the boat for around 10 minutes and voila...white sand, blue waters and sunny skies were welcoming us with open arms.

Writing about this makes me miss the place so much and I can't wait to go back really soon.

If you get the chance to visit Davao, make sure to set aside a beach day and head on over to Samal Island for that much needed break from the concrete jungle.

Much Love,

GOLDEN GLOW

(Ifassion Black Lace Top/ Forever 21 trousers/ Loft Sandals/ Izzy and Ali Sling Bag/ YSL lip)

Finally got the chance to go back home again to sort out my life and it seems as though there's just something about Bacolod that makes me feel like I have sunshine with me all the time. After talks over pasta and driving around the city, my friend and I took some pictures and took advantage of the sun's golden glow before it started to rain and get gloomy. For this set, I chose to wear something that I could feel comfortable around in the whole day a.k.a. a slim black lace top, white trousers, and gold details. To emphasize it's colors, we shot the outfit against yellow walls and I really loved the outcome.. Hope you all like it too!

Thank you to Ifassion for sending over some really classy and sassy tops that I've currently been wearing almost everyday!

ETHEREAL

Here's part 2 of my collaboration with Fetish and all I could say when I saw the pictures was I had a mini heart-attack thanks to Lois and her magic. I was so in love with the pictures that I was probably on my phone for hours and nobody could really talk to me properly...so sorry about that!

 For this set, we had to climb up the second floor of the Ruins and if you've ever been there, you'll know that there really wasn't much of a "floor", so this took more effort that the usual, but it didn't really matter since we were able to capture the majesty of the beautiful disaster that is the Ruins, complete with the sunset's ethereal glow and the winds gentle whispers.

I felt like a modern princess wearing this romantic all white ensemble ready to conquer the world-- or the hacienda maybe? For starters? 

Anyway,I hope you all love it as much as I do! A special thank you to Toni, Lois, Clarissa, Ashley and the team for making this all a dream!

With Love,

TIA LACSON FOR FETISH

I'd like to welcome you all to the wonderful world of Fetish as they launch their 2014 Holiday Collection.

This season is all about Vintage and Sparkles and Romance and here's one of the four looks that we were able to shoot.

It's extremely humbling to be a part of this experience because I've always loved Fetish and their clothes since I was in high school. To be chosen as their model and brand ambassadress is simply a dream that I wish to never wake up in.

It took us a whole day to shoot for the collection and I didn't even feel tired, It all felt so surreal and so amazing to be working with the best people, the best boutique in the city, at the best location.

We shot this at the Lacson Ruins in Bacolod and it couldn't be more perfect knowing that this was in my grandparent's old house-- and it simply meant a lot.

I've always wanted to do a shoot with Lois Campos and finally getting to work with her was very exciting. She always manages to take the most excellent pictures and make them look beautifully surreal and magical, and this was exactly how I wanted to communicate TiaLacson Blog as-- an unfinished adventure, of dreams and colors, in this glitter-filled,crazy,beautiful life.

**Special Thanks to Clarissa Campos for my Hair and Make Up and to Ashley Yee for helping out and making this whole thing a success!

Hope you all stay tuned for the next ones!

DAISY DREAM

(Fetish Light pink Romper/ River Island clutch/ Zara low-heeled sandals/ Forever 21 Shades)

Today's all about daisies and here's my take on dressing with a dreamy, light and carefree vibe.

I'd have to say that walks in the park would somehow be perfect for these kinds of days although I'd much rather be at the beach or be in a wide open field but that sounds itchy so I decided to take the opportunity to stroll and shoot here. I love how Marc Jacobs and their new version of Daisy came up with the idea of creating a dream capsule that you can personalize and get back in a years time! Here's mine and you can make yours here too.
