In Full Bloom

One of the best time to go to Japan is definitely Cherry Blossom Season which is from end of March to April. It's just refreshing to be surrounded by these lovely trees in full bloom, how I miss this place, (circa April 2015).

I wish I was traveling right now, but due to so much work responsibilities, I guess it can wait as business is at its peak. Fortunately, I was able to take a quick breather just a month ago in Iloilo (which I hope you were able to read about). Now that summer days ain't over yet, wearing light breathable clothes is a must. My recommended look for days like these is an offshoulder floral dress which in fact reminds me so much of Sakura. 

Take this advice from a woman who has an appetite of a man. If you want to cover unflattering parts like your arms and basically tons of fats everywhere, offshoulder dresses are the quickfix. This style accentuates your curves at about any angle. Plus points for showing just the right amount of skin. 

The peg I went for was something Oriental---a look that is inspired by both China and Japan. Since my dress is printed already, I chose a simple pair of accessory: a ribbon necklace gifted by my bestfriend Jasmin, and a black pair of block heels which I can walk comfortably in when at the mall. For a change, I finished my look with loose curls.

The Cape Dress

Back to work! These past two weeks have been very demanding but despite the stress (and getting sick), I am still grateful that in the process, my sister and I were able to close several deals. Persistence is definitely key to success and we must admit that a little charm and wit definitely helps as well. 

The Built-In-Cape trend may have been introduced a few years back by celebrities in The Oscars, and models in Fashion Week, but I believe this look is here to stay. The outfir is so put together that you can easily sport a classy or casual ensemble with the right pair of accessories.

In my case, I finished the look with chic block heels and a gold trapeze bag. The drape detailing of the cape is pure sophistication that I need not put much effort in styling it. This is where "less is more" becomes priceless as this is power-dressing at its finest. Whether you feel like wearing it in a  business meeting or even to the mall, it's yours for the taking, as all you need to decide on is the right kind of footwear to match it with.

If there's one thing I learned in business, it's that people are out there to get you. Well, it is undeniably part of human nature, and we all want to have that upperhand at things. All I'm saying is that never get too attached to anything because sometimes your kindness can actually backfire. Trust me, I've been there, done that. If it ain't worth it, let go. Choose your battles well---- similar to that thing we call life.

Life is indeed a journey where we stumble and fall, but with the right kind of attitude and grit, we will be able to surpass those roadblocks. We are our own superheroes (and this dress certainly reminds me of that!) May we all inspire each other to appreciate even the little things. One step at a time, we will all get there.
