Benetton

If there's one thing I always encourage my readers to do,

it's to be creative and experimental.

So here's my Benetton Peg while we're at it.

Yes, you've guessed it right.

My Benetton Peg is inspired by the Brand United Colors of Benetton.

Benetton is known for combining both color and energy in their clothing line.

Hence, my take on their Sports Collection Line.

Though the shirt is not from Benetton, 

I incorporated the brand's style to my look.

What do you think?

 Believe it or not, I "stole" this top from my brother's closet. lol

I felt like challenging myself and going beyond my usual "girly" look.

The outcome turned out extremely well especially with the matching Aviator shades.

Sport this ensemble in a polo match or any sports-related event,

and you'll look ultra chic. This can be worn in casual days as well.

Always remember to try out new things especially in fashion.

Who knows, you might actually enjoy and look good with it.

If by any chance, the style doesn't fit you, then who cares,

one day won't kill you. At least you made different versions of thy self.

Experiment while young because when you reach a certain age, 

people start to judge or ridicule what you wear. 

Better know what makes you look like a bombshell early :)

Go Graphic

If there's one color combination that every girl should have in her closet,

it should be none other than black and white.

This color palette is universally flattering as it suits any body type.

Well-loved by celebrities, B&W is the secret to being fashion forward.

Another trick to look effortlessly chic in a black and white dress is
to choose graphic prints and monochromatic patterns.

Always remember that Prints make you look young and alive.

They add personality in your fashion ensemble.

Don't be afraid to play with prints as it could surprisingly be your style asset.

Sometimes, things are better in black and white :)

The Art of Time

Last Tuesday, July 29,2014, I attended a Private Launch of 

one of the biggest watch brand to invade the Philippines. 

The exclusive affair was held in The Gramercy

located in Century City.

Just check out this spectacular view from the top 

The launch was graced by VIP guests, celebrities and people from the media industry.

Checkout the spotlight on the beautiful Sister Secrets Councilor Charisse Abalos

Mr. and Mrs. Lee were actually the earlybirds for the evening.

So what's the latest buzz?

It's about time that I introduce them: Max XL.

Max XL are premium timepieces from the Netherlands.

The brand has already made a name in Italy, Russia, Hong Kong, 

Japan, and now to invade the Philippines.

While looking at Max XL's various watch collection, 

there is one that caught my attention: 

Max full IP chrono watch- 44mm- IP Gold

from The Artisan Collection

If you've been following my blog posts, I'm sure you know by now

that my style is chic yet classy. 

This classic gold chronograph is a perfect fit to my personality. 

Since I have a very uptight schedule as a businesswoman and

a fashion blogger and stylist, the classic design and color of this 

chrono watch allows me to easily pair it with any look.

Simply the promise of every pair of Max XL: Maximum style and identity 

The Artisan collection has 4 gorgeous colors to choose from:

Gold (obviously my favorite), silver, rose gold and black.

All are equipped with steel case, brown dial, date calendar and

solid steel band with extra flip-lock safety.

And if you're up for some attitude,

then these oversized model timepieces are for you.

It ranges from the round 42mm diameter series to the XXL-sized 55mm Aviator series.

Meet the brand ambassadors of Max XL Philippines:

Sid Maderazo, Abby Asistio and Rico Blanco

A big congratulations to the entire team who brought 

Max XL to the country, 

Mr. Christopher Tan, Director of Max XL,

Jerry Tiu, Kristieanna Pangan-Lacson and Carlo Mendoza.

Max XL timepieces range from P10,000-P30,000 and are available

in Greenbelt 5, Bratpack - Shangrila Mall East Wing, Alabang Town Center,

 Robinson's Magnolia, Washington-Shangrila and Glorietta.

Whatever lifestyle you have, there's a perfect pair for you, so grab a pair now :)

To cap off my post, here's what I wore to the event for a MAXimum Look. 

A pre-event shoot in broad daylight :)

As expected, dark and neutral colors would be the go-to color of 

Max XL guests because of the event's location.

Because I wanted something different but would still totally complement

my personality, checkout my color of choice.

Shades of blue and green, combined with black and gold combo

A color choice that exudes a distinct character.

Remember dear readers, cliche as it may sound,

a quote that I try to live by

"You don't have to fit in when you're born to standout" :)

And just for the record, if anyone thought that I'm wearing a dress,

it's actually a top and skirt that I combined to create an oomph of uniqueness.

Dare to be different and make the MAXimum happen :)
