Chic and Polished

Style for me is very personal ---it's liberating.
That's why as both a fashion blogger and businesswoman, 
I make it a point that I always look presentable.

When dressing up, I usually draw inspiration from

 my mood or a striking accessory like so.

Take for instance this eyecatching Sallygator bag & 

 colorful Handle Wrap from Oh My Bag PH

I love how easy I can transform my look from day to night.

The handle wraps are so versatile that it can actually

 give any bag an instant facelift.

Suzanne Blush Handle Wrap

And yes, you can also wear it as a scarf. Oh how I wish I own 
all 50 designs of these handle wraps. The satin finish is superb and

 I'm having so much fun matching it with my OOTDs!

Another way on how you can sport handle wraps is 

to tie it as a ribbon or a bag scarf. 

Styling these babies are endless possibilities.

At the end of the day, 

it's all about putting your personality to what you're wearing.

I went for a look that is chic and polished, 

hence the matching scarf and bag scarf by Oh My Bag PH.

If there's one thing to remember, it's to

always have fun with your ensemble. Be open to trying out

new looks because who knows it can eventually be your style peg.

And for all those fashionistas and bag aficionados out there, 

if you want to give the best care possible for your bags, 

then I highly suggest that you checkout Oh My Bag . 

They also offer various bag care products ranging from 

bag raincoats, bag stuffers and base shapers 

to keep your well-loved companions in tip-top shape.

Love,

Mi Amore

A few days ago, we gave mom the 'royal treatment' she deserves. 

Aside from giving her some presents for Mother's Day,

our family took her out for dinner. 

Being the stylist in me, a special occasion like so 

made me want to look all glammed up.

If you've been following my blog, 

 Apartment 8 would always be one of my favorite go-to ensembles. 

Their fashion pieces are classy yet timeless; 

Chic yet feminine. Simply fashion forward for the modern you.

Take for instance this Apartment 8 Wrap Dress which allows you

to create endless styles ---brilliant in every way!

Creating my own version of a demi-goddess look, 

 I styled the front of my dress with 

off-the-shoulder Ruched Straps, and a ribbon at the back. 

That's just one of many ways I can style this maxi.

Perhaps, I'll save my other creations for another post.

Someday I do hope to get a chance to collaborate 

with this brand (together with my twin of course).

Super love their dresses --- a style haven for every fashionista!

Just to give you some snippets about the celebration,

we had dinner at

BLACKBIRD at The Nielson Tower

Ayala Triangle Gardens, Salcedo Village Makati City

We ordered around six dishes but I'll only share two as you've definitely

have to try out this place. Food and Ambiance is just perfect!

Lasagna ala Blackbird 

| Portobello Mushroom , Asparagus, Fontina, Truffle Oil |

Pizza Ala BlackBird 

| Italian Sausage, Fennel, Tomatoes, Mozzarella and Chili |

Thanks Mom for all the love. I might not be good in expressing it,

but you definitely mean the world to me.

And of course, always thankful for the love of Family :)

Love,

Best Dressed 2015

Last September 22, I attended 

the Best Dressed Women of the Philippines Annual Ball 

held at Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

The BDWP ball is a charitable event geared towards raising funds 

for the benefit of the Philippine Cancer Society.

If you've been regularly reading my posts, 

this fashion for a cause event will be very familiar, 

all thanks to the beautiful, generous and kindhearted

Jennifer Helen Weigel Sarmiento

Tita Jennifer is multi-talented and extremely fashionable.

She was recently crowned last June 13, 2015 as 

Mrs. Asia International 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The 2 lovely ladies in the photo below are her twin daughters:

Jennifer Elaine Sarmiento with her date Kirby Yu Bun-an &

Jasmin Ellen Sarmiento with her date Ralph Andrei Juan

A big thanks to one of my best friends Jas for having me in this 

spectacular event. Truly it was a night to remember.

I'll keep this short and sweet.

It's not enough for a woman to be physically beautiful.

What we all must strive for is how to become 

women of substance --- Someone that can truly inspire change. 

And what more can I say, like mother like daughter.

Indeed, I am very proud of her!

They deserve all the blessings and success that come their way :)

Most of us are still a work-in-progress and hopefully

someday we can create better versions of ourselves :)

Majority of the photos in this post are taken by Mark Ryan Alvarez. 

He's a professional photographer and accepts event bookings :)

The Dreamer

Today's post brings some nostalgia as this was my graduation dress back then.

I managed to find this thru my stack of clothes in the closet.

You can probably guess how old this dress is.

Little black dresses or LBDs are very good investments.

With the right style and silhouette, they will remain a classic!

Dress from Apartment8

Since I'm no longer a student, 

I paired it with some chic heels for a more playful peg.

A big congratulations to the recent graduates of University of the Philippines.

Special mention to Tiffany Grace Uy, Summa Cum Laude of UP.

I may not personally know her but more than the grades she obtained, 

I am impressed by her passion to contribute to medicinal research 

particularly in the field of breast cancer.

It's not everyday that you get to hear young people talk about service and 

love for country and I salute her for that.

If there's one thing I learned in the corporate world as well as in my craft as 

a fashion blogger, it's that you have to have a lot of heart in what you do.

For one to be successful, one should be consistent and committed.

Always have the end goal in mind, because in that way,

you are reminded of what you want and 

that's where you draw inspiration from.

Life is a blessing and we should learn to celebrate and cherish it.

Love,
