There you go!

I've styled 3 looks with the same pair of heels

Parisian will always be one of my favorite shoe brands.

It understands my fashion needs and are very comfortable. 
No wonder Nadine Lustre is the new face of the brand.

Belle of the Ball

The month of love has finally arrived and what better way to welcome it

than to relive one of the greatest love stories ever told. 

 Watched Beauty and the Beast, the Broadway Musical at CCP! 

Simply a musical treat for any kid at heart.

Of course, being a fashion blogger & stylist, I decided to get creative and dress the part.

I chose an off-shoulder velvet dress with gold knit embellishments for 

that sweet romantic look. Accessorize with an elegant headpiece and voila!

This lovely bodycon dress is from one of my favorite online shops, ROMWE.

I swear, if you're a fashionista like me, you'll be fascinated with their clothes :)

With Prom Season just around the corner,

one tip for every Bella out there is to know your style.

Whether you prefer to wear couture or just a simple RTW, 

trends may often times be overpowering, 

so choose a design that still speaks about who you are.

Don't overdo dressing-up just to comply with the theme :)

Be the Belle of the Ball in your own comfortable way.

Another tip to remember is to take care of your skin.

It may sound obvious but most girls experience breakouts just days before prom

after juggling both schoolwork and prom planning. 

Find the time to relax, enjoy "Me-Time" and of course moisturize.

With the help of some beauty tricks and the right amount of coverage, you'll look fab.

Always equip yourself with confidence and a sweet smile :)

And remember to enjoy and thank everyone who made your day special :)

Vintage Romance

How has your 2015 been so far? I hope things have been extraordinary! :)

Today's post is special because aside from my usual OOTD,

this look of mine serves 2 other purposes,

(Yes, you've guessed it right),

PROM and VALENTINES DAY.

It's not every day that girls get to experience being all-glammed up,

so for extra special events like these, I'm here to give some advice :)

Believe me or not, it may actually take days and even months (for some!) 

to plan and create the perfect ensemble. 

If u ask me, instead of choosing the usual LBD or LWD,

why not go for a Little Red Dress this time around.

Whether you're off to a date with your significant other or 

to attend a grand ball as Cinderella,

Red should be a color that every girl must consider.

Red makes you look sweet and confident.

It gives you that charming glow 

and at the same time some breath of mystery.

Remember, the key to any outfit are its details.

You don't need to over-accessorize to look like a million-dollar babe.

Like for instance, I wanted something classy, yet vintage looking,

so an off-shoulder lace dress is my best bet.

Add some pearls, wear some leopard pumps and voila!

An irresistibly stylish you.

If you're feeling a bit edgy,

then feel free to complement your look with an ultra chic sweater.

In my case, I chose a boyish cover-up to balance the look.

As for the hairstyle, I suggest letting your hair down.

I'd go with some sexy curls to vamp up your look.

And while we're at it, I would like to suggest a new product by Pantene:

3 Minute Miracle Conditioner

I've tried it and it does create wonders especially considering I style my hair everyday.

Cliche as it may sound, your hair is your crowning glory so condition it well :)

And  lastly, as they say,

you're never fully dressed without a smile.

A smile can in fact be your best asset and boys go gaga over it. 

Now that you're all set, remember to have fun :)

Dressing well is just one step to making the first impression,

so make sure that impression lasts :)

And oh before I end this post, check this out!

My pets posing for the camera :)

For those of you who are wondering where I got my burgundy dress,

it's from ROMWE, one of my favorite global online shops :)

Pair it with this leopard pumps from Payless ShoeSource, Inc. 

and you'll look hot in no time. That's comfort and style all rolled into one!

Hope you enjoyed this special post.

I'll bring you more of these prom inspirations and date looks

in my succeeding posts.

Love lots <3

Sparks Fly

It's that time of year again...

Where girls get all dolled-up and
boys bring out their best-looking suits.

Have an idea yet? I'm sure you do!!!

Here comes PROM :)

Time for some dress ideas, brought to you by yours truly :)

Whether you want your dress custom-made or RTW,
it's always about finding that perfect match.

My suggestion is for you to first search for ideas and inspirations online. 

This will help you design your prom dress or even lead you to buying it.

To guide you, I have prepared 2 things in this post: 

Let's start with the first one: STYLE TIPS

TIP #1: Choose the right dress.

Proms have themes. Make sure that you dress appropriately,
 but still incorporate your own personal style.

This dress of mine is perfect for a Fairytale theme like Romeo & Juliet

or a Hollywood theme such as the Oscars.
I got it from my favorite online store ROMWE.

TIP #2: Get Dolled Up.

It's not every day that you get to attend prom.

Book a stylist if you want your hair and makeup done.

Since my dress already speaks for itself,

I decided to accentuate my look by putting on light makeup and 

parting my slightly curled hair on one side.

TIP # 3: Back to Basics.

Prepping up is a must. Remember those rules our moms used to remind us on 

caring for our face? Clean, tone and moisturize. This should be done 

religiously to prevent any breakouts before prom. If you ask me what I use, 

Pond's will definitely be in my list. My mom and I have always been

a Pond's user and am very thankful that it cares for my skin 24/7. 

Remember to always choose the right skin care product for you.

More importantly, on the day of your prom, I highly recommend that you bring your 

own makeup kit and brushes if you're going to have your makeup done by a stylist.

(for hygienic purposes!!! u don't want any sudden breakouts!)

TIP #4: Accessorize.

I may have said this a couple of times, but I'm going to repeat it again.

Accessories can make or break your outfit. 

If you're wearing something loud, then wear minimal accessories.

If you've decided to go simple, then it's time for you to accessorize.

As for me, I'm already shining like diamonds, 

so I chose a simple pearl necklace to pair it with.

I chose a simple yet elegant clutch bag which I got from GLAM by SM.

Bring only what you need and of course some extra cash for your after-prom party!

And of course, KILLER heels. (Just joking!)

Heels give you so much confidence so

 choose a pair that is stylish yet comfortable.

My stunning pumps are from So Fab!

Remember, there's going to be a lot of dancing during prom

so don't you dare buy a pair days before the big day without even 'breaking' it.

TIP # 5: Confidence.

You don't have to spend lavishly just to get the spotlight. 

Confidence is what will keep you going and bring you the attention you deserve.

Don't keep on looking at your cellphone to check how your friends are doing.

You have a date to attend to so relate with him well, or 

if for some reason you decided to go stag, 

then it's also your chance to get to know more people.

TIP # 6: SMILE.

So many guys have already told me that they find girls most beautiful when they smile.

Trust me, they find it so hard to say NO to you. 

Not only will your date find you attractive but also everyone present.

TIP # 7: Show some Gratitude.

After the big day, I'm pretty sure that there's a lot of people who are responsible 

for making your prom successful. From your event organizer to your date,

 to your designer and stylist, send them a personal note of thanks or

 a simple token of gratitude.

Tokens need not be of monetary value. 

It can be as simple as giving them a copy of your prom picture 

with some personal dedication to it. 

TIP # 8: Prom Perfect is Picture Perfect.

If you're an active social media user like me, you'll notice a lot of girls

already busy preparing for prom. During prom, every person present is beautiful. 

But I ask you, why only for one night when you can be beautiful everyday? 

Hold your horses.... I'm not saying you have to wear tutus here and there 

to look like Cinderella because that would be indeed crazy. 

Being picture perfect is when you know how to take care of your appearance. 

From your clothes to your skin, every aspect is taken care of. 

So that whether you're attending a wedding, a date or perhaps a casual get-together,

you can call yourself #PromPerfect!!!

Imagine having more #Selfies than you can ever imagine (I Kid.)

I hope that you've enjoyed my special feature on Prom.

I'm excited to be #PromPerfect. Take me to Prom? :)

To all my readers out there:

I dare you to be #PromPerfect
