Cool For The Summer

Hello my dear readers!
Ready for a summer to remember? :)

Whether you're packing for the beach or planning for a much needed getaway,
here are my top 3 style essentials for summer:

A comfortable pair of footwear like so

As a fashion blogger and entrepreneur,
both style and comfort are very important to me,
 and I'm glad Melissa understands that.



Melissa is an iconic footwear brand all the way from Brazil that
has collaborated with prominent designers such as
Vivienne Westwood, Jason Wu and Karl Lagerfeld
to deliver worldclass designs that are both stylish and comfortable.

Another must bring is your favorite pair of polarized lenses.
For this look, I protect my eyes with sunnies from
 Eye Channel by JIT USA.

Now that I've got my two style staples covered, 

the final piece to complete my 'cool for the summer look'

is a backless chiffon dress by ROMWE.

When it comes to all things stylish,

 ROMWE remains to be one of my trusted global online-store brands.

This dress makes me standout as it exhibits a fun and carefree vibe,
just perfect for the summer heat. The pastel colors

 actually remind me of cotton candy and ice cream :)

If you're a fashionista like me, one thing I'll add to my 
"luggage" are a pair of heels. They just add oomph to any outfit.

I hate to admit it, but packing light is not really part of my lifestyle :)

What about you? What are your top 3 must bring this summer? :)

Hope you enjoyed my post. Stay tuned for more fashion inspiration.

Excited for my next look?

Going Basic

We all have those days when we're too lazy to dressup.

So here are 3 quick tips on how to look fab without you even trying.

The first golden rule is to pick basic pieces. 

Whether it's a top and bottom combo or a dress, go for a neutral color.  

Colors such as black, beige, gray and white are sophisticated to look at.

Dress from Topping

Flats from Tomato

Sunnies from Fly Shades

The second rule would be to choose a style that fits your personality or mood.

One of my personal recommendation would be sheer fabrics.

It's stylish and sexy, simply perfect for the weather in the Philippines.

Last but not the least, wear a red lippie. 

It screams confidence and instantly makes you look all made up.

No wonder it's the weapon of choice of Hollywood celebrities.

Until next time!

Double Vision

Double Vision = Double Trouble!

For some of my readers who may not know...Guess what I have an identical twin! :)

Back in school, people would go crazy when they see us together.

I was even able to pretend as her without the teacher even noticing (Hahaha, those days!)

Anyways, before I share with you the brands I'm wearing, as well as some our solo shots, 

I will first explain why my sister and I have so many pictures together. 

(Btw, she's also a blogger like me. See how identical we are!)

So last February, I joined a contest hosted by Sheena Loves Sunsets x Fly Shades.

I was very lucky to be part of the five winners who got 2 pairs of shades for free.

I simply answered why I deserved to win a pair of shades for me and my special someone. 

In this case, my TWIN! 

Since it's Love month back then, here's my answer. I'm glad it stood out.

For most people, Valentine's Day is a special day for lovebirds. For others, it serves as another reminder of them being "single". As for me, it's another day to fall in love. Don't get me wrong though, I am not in a hurry to fall in love as only time could tell. It's more of falling in love with the world at large --- spending more time in appreciating people as well as nature in its truest form. If I do get the chance to win these shades, I would definitely share this with my better half--- my twin, of course  She's my partner-in-crime and has been with me thru good and bad times. We are like cupid who can inspire change even in our most simple ways. We don't judge the world, but always try to see the world in a different lens --- a world where love can inspire goodness in everyone 

Some quick info about the 2 sponsors :)

* Sheena Loves Sunsets *

Aren't these drawings adorable? These are all illustrated by Sheena Sy-Gonzales. 

What I love about her work is that there's so much life in her drawings. 

What even makes it far better is that she shares her faith and passion through art. 

* FLY Shades *

FLY Shades specializes in fashionable eyewear that's suitable for any face shape. 

It has so many designs and color to choose from which gives you a lot of flexibility in the field of fashion.

I personally love FLY Shades because it can easily transform my looks in an instant.

Talk about fashion and functionality :)

I personally own a couple pairs of FLY shades so I'm a fan.

Here's what i got! The shades and even the case is just awesome!!!

So now to our solo shots! :) 

I'll start with my sister. 

I asked her to wear this particular pair because her attire is more casual

 so some feminine shades are the best fit for her look. 

The shades is unique for its floral designed temple arm.

The shades accentuates well with her face shape.

Looking fab my dear sistah!

It's my turn! :)

The look I wanted to achieve was Glamour and High Fashion,

thus all the gold shimmers.

The pair of shades I'm wearing is so chic and sophisticated. 

The shape, as well as the lenses, remind me of Hollywood.

Now to our Double Vision Shots!

How I hope one day my sister and I can be part of FLY Shades brand ambassadors/ bloggers. 

(I know, I know! There's nothing wrong in wishing upon a star)

Having a twin is one of the best blessings I could ever ask. 

Though we get compared a lot of times and sometimes even fight with each other,

 I guess our individuality and bond defines who we are today and 

what we are capable of achieving in the future. 

As promised, here's what I'm wearing.

(My sister will blog about her outfit so I will focus on mine)

Dress by Plains and Prints

Belt by Muffin

Tarzan's Long Lost Daughter

So much for not being able to sleep at all...

Well I guess blame it on the weekend I suppose :)

Bare with me, since I look like a Zombie already, I just wore my favorite shades to hide that fact!

Tarzan and Jane were quite a couple. They belong to two different worlds but still ended up together. Aww

My outfit today is so tribal. What I love about jumpsuits is that it can instantly glam you up. 

The only disadvantage is that every time you have to go to the restroom, there's a bit of work there, haha. 

I guess fashion has a price, so live with it. You can call me Little Jane I suppose. 

Indeed, there's still so much to discover in this little crazy world of ours. 

Sometimes, we just have to let life take us where it wants us to be. Maybe in that way, we will be happy.

I'm starting to sound dramatic, but anyways as they say life will surprise you when you least expect it :)

Blazer from Hipstop

Jumpsuit from Bazaar

Shades from Eye Channel New York

HeartBeat

I'm in love.... (Well, not the kind you're thinking)

Have you ever felt that there's something different about yourself but you yourself can't explain what it is? Well, I did one morning. It's rare that such happens so I felt like blogging about it. I guess I woke up to a very good morning, probably because of a good rest or a result of a sweet dream. Whatever it is, I hope there were more days like this.

For my outfit, I just chose something simple for work. Since I felt inspired that morning, I decided to wear red and pair it with skinny jeans. As I've shared, I dress according to my mood. There's just something with red and black that when you combine together, you immediately look fab.

Shades from Cebu

Watch from Tomato

My theology professor once asked our class,

"What's your vocation in life?"

We came up with different answers, but it ended with one simple yet profound answer. 

"To Fall in Love"

Love here not only having that significant other but more of seeing the world as it is.

So be it. I fell in love with the World. 

My world being my family, friends and everyone I have shared a  memory with. 

I guess that's the reason in living. You live because you love and you love because you believe.   

So let's just let life take us where it wants us to be. As they say, things will fall into place, in time :)
