Checkmate

Black and White. Neither shade goes out of style.

A timeless look that would look good with anyone.

 

 

For this look of mine, I wanted to create a bold graphic statement.

I wore a jumpsuit that is printed with stripes from head-to-toe.

 

Fashion Tip #1 : Wear VERTICAL stripes to elongate your body.

They are perfect for petite frames.

 

Fashion Tip #2 : Add an accent hue.

My recommendation is to go for RED.

Perhaps a red hair accessory, red pumps or a sultry red lipstick would do the trick.

 

 

Fashion Tip #3 : Walk with confidence and put on your best smile.

Make that first impression last.

Hope you like my post for tonight.

 

And oh before I forget, I would like you to meet my cat.

Isn't he cute? He reminds me so much of Puss in Boots

especially when he is sitting down and looking at me.

That Curve

You’re never fully dressed without a smile.

Here are some fun facts about smiling that I discovered while reading the article 

SMILE-It's Good for You! written by Stella Katsipoutis from the Healthy Options Lifestyle News Digest.

1) Frowning exhausts 43 facial muscles while smiling only uses 17 muscles. (imagine the wrinkles!)

Add some laughter and you can increase calorie burn up to 20%. Now ain't that a good exercise?!

2) An average woman smiles about 62 times a day while men smile about 8 times a day only.

 So ladies, pls give your men a reason to smile and spare them some heartache :)

3) People smile in 19 different ways. How I wonder. Go Figure!

So here's my look.

Layers over layers? why not! 

Just make sure that when wearing styles like this, the colors don't clash, 

else you'll look like a clown in no time :)

Balance is key. 

Go for neutrals so that the flow of your clothing will be maintained.

I chose Pearls as my accessories for a classic look.

All Girls become beautiful when they smile and i'm sure guys would agree with me in saying that 

girls look their best when they wear a smile rather than makeup. 

Let every day be a reason for you to smile!

Smile and the world will smile back at you :)

Keep believing,

Baby you're my Firework

While blogging about my outfit for today, a Cover of Katy Perry's Firework was playing in my Ipod.
So explains half of the reason for such title.

I wanted to have a good start this morning so I wore one of my favorite clothes. I don't know if you have experienced this, but there are just some clothes that you yourself can say that you look good on, no matter what your mood for the day is.

Wanting to shoo away the stress I'm feeling lately, this dress is perfect because every time I wear it, I get compliments from friends and even random people that I look fab in it.

                                 

For me, fashion is limitless. You can wear anything you want as long as you can carry it well. 

Yes, there are some rules whether you're at work, in school or anywhere out of your comfort zone 

but you could always work within it without exactly bending some principles.

In my case, I believe I look good in feminine dresses especially lace :)
To add some oomph, wear heels but since I have to do so much errands for work,
flats are the better choice.

Look at what the Sun did to my hair. I just love it! Sunkissed. 

One day, I might have my hair colored, so watch out :)

Now, going back to that meaningful lyrics of Firework....

'coz baby you're a firework, 

c'mon show them what you're worth

                           

The song motivates us to not be ashamed of who we are today. 

It's all a matter of time in building ourselves up for the better.

True, so much is expected from us and I do hope that 

someday I will not only make myself proud but as well as my parents.

  

As they say, Life goes on.... 

One step at a time baby :)
