Coachella

It's that time of year again to brighten up with tons of colors and prints!

Say hello to Coachella :)

When dressing up for music festivals, my style recommendation would be 

A sequined ethnic crop top + a flowy maxi skirt + a chic hair accessory

A flower crown or a fancy hat like so will complete your festive look. 

Do bring a pair of sunnies as well a scarf for unpredictable weather conditions.

If you love my Coachella vibe,

I'm wearing a crop top from ROMWE and a maxi skirt from Soigné Clothing.

So ladies, bring out your favorite technicolor outfit

 and it's time to enjoy summer. 

How about you? What's your festival fashion fix? :)

The Holiday Glow

How time flies! 

One of my favorite seasons has finally arrived :)

To welcome the Holiday Season, 

 wear something festive like this chic dress from PopStyle Manila.

Bright colored prints give you that cheerful glow, 

making you look vibrant and youthful.

If you want to add balance, then wrap a belt around your waist

 just like what I did. This will accentuate your curves like so.

Hope you like this Holiday look :)

Holiday Looks by Plains and Prints

When it comes to vibrant prints and design, 

no brand can do it better than Plains & Prints.

So for my fifth Holiday Look recommendation, 

why not try out interesting cuts, silhouettes, colors and prints from Plains & Prints.

What I love about this brand is that they continuously produce clothing pieces that 

are classy yet versatile and timeless.

(Just checkout some of my looks from previous Plains & Prints collections)

No wonder Anne Curtis is the perfect face to endorse Plains & Prints.

Her fun, fresh and fearless aura complements the brand.

As what Anne would often say to all her fans:

"Stay and be comfortable in whatever you choose to wear. 

You don’t have to follow trends because you won’t fit all of them. 

Just be you and you’re going to be okay."

And because you're a reader of mine, you get to have 

first dibs on the Holiday 2014 Collections.

Since there are so many pieces, I'm just sharing with you some of my favorite looks

 from each collection just in time for the Yuletide Season.

East Meets West

If you're looking for chic yet elegant silhouettes, East Meets West Collection is for you.

This collection is inspired by the merging cultures of the east and the west. 

Various shades of red and fuchsia with warm tones of peach and gray are dominant in this collection.

Modern Metropolis

If you love cheerful prints and stunning colors, Modern Metropolis is for you.

This trendy collection is a series of Holiday Dresses with prints inspired by 

some of the famous cities in the world --- Milan, Shanghai and London. 

Heaven and Earth

If you want to sport a fun festive mood this Holiday Season, then Heaven and Earth is for you.

This collection is filled with earthy tones inspired by the vibrant colors of the sky.

You can also checkout R.A.F. Holiday Collection for more Holiday ensembles.

R.A.F. is a sister brand of Plains & Prints.

I do hope you enjoyed this preview of Plains & Prints Holiday Collection.

As for me, I am officially stoked with their new collection! 

You can checkout more fashion pieces at the branch nearest you or

Floral Glam

My secret to looking young? 

FLORAL Dresses 

It's a Classic. 

A design you will never go wrong with

If you've been following my blog, 

this in fact is my 4th Holiday Look Suggestion.

However, if you've missed out on the first three, 

you could still check it out at:

Classic Choice ; Like a Sweetheart ; Cut It Out

Florals are not only for the prim and proper.

It's also for those women who have less time to dress-up. 

With a design as vibrant as this, 

a sweet smile is all you need to make this look work :)

White pumps are my best bet in making this ensemble look fab.

Always remember, contrast is key.

Hope you enjoyed my quick post for the night :)

Can't wait to share with you more OOTDs!

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 :)

Summer Bloom

Wanna know one of my secrets in achieving a blooming look?

Answer is simple: 

Wear Prints and Wear Colorful ones.

Attention immediately goes to how vibrant you look.

 It's even perfect especially now that it's summer time.

I wore this dress to C2 Cuisine's New Menu Launch.

C2 Classic Cuisine is operated by Cravings Group and an affiliate of Center for Culinary Arts Manila. 

It's a casual dining place wherein you can experience a refreshing taste of local favorites. 

C2 Classic Cuisine was cited as one of Asia's Best Restaurants last 2010 by Miele Guide. 

It has branches in Katipunan, Shangri-La, Megamall, Paranaque and Cebu to name a few.

The Store I visited was their Greenhills Branch.

I adore their mosaic pendant lamps! It adds a homey feel!

They also have C3 Events Place right beside them for special occasions like debuts, weddings etc.

 Ain't that superb! :)

Look how appealing these are. 

You'll keep coming back here the moment you taste their new dishes.

I forgot the names of some of the dishes because as I've said, most are not yet on the menu :))

You can show this picture to the waiters instead (har har)

My personal favorites are the following: 

Beef with Gravy Sauce. I ate almost half the plate. Enough said.

Laing. A Bicolano dish and surprisingly I loved it because it was extra creamy.

Chocolate Caramel Cake. I love this duo! Oh, my love for desserts was satisfied.

Suman Panna Cotta. A dessert certainly worth my calories. I ate more than my share

 (others gave up already,too full)! Super yummy. It was creamy and glutinous!

Buko Pandan. A perfect summer drink with shredded coconut and pandan jelly leaves.

 Refreshingly delicious!

I'm sure my twin enjoyed the dishes as much as I did and thanks to her, 

I was able to be part of this launch!

The best part of this Event? 

I made new friends!

Anyways back to what I am wearing :)

 Animal Print Halter Dress by Apartment8

In the Philippines, we are already experiencing 40 degrees Celsius! 

My suggestion is to invest in some colorful clothing like what I'm wearing.

Maxi dresses like this will make you look taller especially if you're like me with a petite frame.

My my, I'm indeed preparing myself for hotter days!

I'd say this look of mine is perfect for the summer. 

Tie your hair in a bun and voila, you're ready! :)
