Garden Bloom

A few more hours 'til 2014! Oh how time flies.

As I welcome the new year, I thought of wearing something cheerful and vibrant.

For my casual look, I got my Kimono Blazer from Soigné Clothing

and Froylan City shorts from Plains and Prints.

Kimono blazers are my sure bet for a bipolar weather like the Philippines.

They come in handy any time of day. 

Pair it with eye-catching shorts and you'll look fab.

Florals never go out of style.

They are so chic and casual.

Don't you agree? :)

As you make your personal Resolutions this New Year, 

I do hope you don't forget one important detail and that is

TO SMILE MORE.

Cheers,

Aztec

Skater skirts are known for their versatile and very flattering silhouettes. 

While there are a hundred of ways on how to rock a skater skirt, I chose to wear it a little different. 

Using a skater skirt as an accessory, I made my own version of a Peplum.

Peplums are overskirts or ruffles that are attached to a blouse, dress or bodice.

I wore a bandage skirt under in order to emphasize the Peplum effect.

The trick to getting very nice Peplums is choosing the right design.

This skater skirt from Soigné Clothing did just that.

Aztec prints have become the style du jour amongst stylish teenagers.

It's young, hip and upbeat!

Just remember that when it comes to fashion, one does not need to be conventional.

Mix and match while you're young!

And most of all, Have fun :)

Lace on Lace

Ola! For my 3rd day in Hong Kong, we decided to make some surprise visit to our relatives.

Since it's more of a private gathering, I'll just share with you what I wore.

Creating a new trend: Lace over lace (why not!)

Looks so fresh like I just woke up from bed.

Since I wanted to look chic yet not too overboard,

I wore this lace top that I got from Soigné Clothing.

I paired it with my lace shorts from Taylor for that fun playful vibe.

Lately, you might have noticed that I have been wearing clothes from this 

online store Soigné Clothing. Aside from the owner being my friend, I patronize her 

clothes because it complements my liking for a sweet feminine look.

I accessorized by wearing this beautiful embellished necklace from Plains & Prints

and with this chic ring that I bought from Europe.

Remember that you can forget all the fashion rules except one.

Wear a smile on your face and

you will look more beautiful as ever.

Tried and tested by yours truly.

Here's a photo of us with grandpa! 

He looks so cute with his formal look.

This can actually serve as a cover for some telenovela, 

with just some minor touchups. (Harhar, just kidding!)

So here are few more photos 

With my twin

OOTD shots inside the hotel

time for a trio shot

That's about it for now. Stay tuned for my upcoming post.

I think you'll love it.

To all my readers, keep dreaming and keep believing!

Sexy Back

As promised, here's my 2nd post of my travel series.

So this is what I wore during my 2nd day in Hong Kong.

Don't you just love my top?

I got it from Soigné Clothing, one of my recommended online shops for chic elegant wear.

The front may look simple but the back says it all.

I'm definitely bringing sexy back with this low back ribbon peplum.

I added a twist to my look by wearing an NBA Denver Nuggets cap.

It's the perfect topper for my eye-catching attire.

So now off to my Hong Kong recommendations.

If you haven't heard of or been to Charlie Brown Cafe, then you're in for a treat.

You'll definitely feel like a child again! Perfect for kids and kids at heart.

Just look at the interior of this place!

Perfect chill spot for hanging out with friends

Charlie Brown Cafe is located in Tsim Sha Tsui's Cameron Road.

So this is what we had for breakfast.

After which, off to more pictures

After an hour and a half, it was time for lunch.

Yes, I know, we eat a lot :)

 We dined in a Chinese Restaurant near the vicinity.

The food was sumptuous.

Of course, I wouldn't miss one of my favorite dishes!

Peking Duck

For Dessert, we had some yummy treats.

Hope you enjoyed my post!

Stay tuned for my 3rd day in Hong Kong!

demi-goddess

Behold! A goddess has fallen.

If I were a goddess, you'd see me wearing a white and gold linen dress.

Well since I'm no immortal, I made my own adaptation of a demi-goddess.

Demi-goddesses still have to look regal despite their half-god lineage.

For the so called "deity-look", there are 2 important factors to consider: 

the CLOTHES and the HAIR

For my ensemble, I chose to wear a white top that is embellished with gold sequins.

I paired it with a royal blue maxi skirt to embody superiority and sophistication.

I bought both my top and skirt from Soigné Clothing. 

Their clothes are so chic, modern and elegant.

 You can checkout their latest collection here.

Oh, I just love how carefree this outfit makes me feel.

The top is so feminine and the skirt is very flowy.

Now let's move on to styling the hair.

To look ethereal, your locks have to be well-maintained.

With that, accessorizing your hair is key and I believe that 

flower crowns & embellished headbands are classic.

For people who have short hair or are looking for ways to revamp their look, 

one way would be Hair Extensions. Until now, hair extensions are very popular 

because it gives women what they have always wanted: Beautiful Hair. 

The length, shape, style and color are all dependent on your preference. 

So far, http://www.seekhair.co.uk/ seems to be one of the "Go-To stylist" for beautiful hair.

I already have experienced having short hair and personally I prefer long hair 

because I can style it any way I want. I love to curl my hair as it adds that sexy appeal. 

For instance, you can wear 20 inch clip in hair extensions to a themed-party,

then have straight hair for today and sexy waves tomorrow.

That's how versatile hair extensions are.

Here are some photos:

Interesting don't you think? I've seen people use it and it looks great on them.

Imagine transforming your look in seconds!

Anyways, I do hope you like my hair advice.

As for me, I'm happy with my long hair.

I can style it in a lot of ways :)

Never underestimate the power of beautiful hair. It is indeed a girl's crowning glory.

First impressions are very important so invest in hair and clothing.

It will take you to places.

Lastly, a goddess should always look charming and approachable.

So smile and keep a positive spirit.

Love,

In the Spotlight

With the massive rains we are experiencing, I sincerely wish for everyone's safety.
Thank God it's starting to subside. Keep the faith.

_________________________________________________________________________________

It's impossible to take outfit shots at this kind of weather so I'll just do some backtracking.

These photos were taken a month ago. It was already mid-afternoon so my friend Sean brought

 his props along. Thanks to the lighting, I felt like a celebrity for a day :))

So here I am sporting a fun bright colored ensemble. 

My off-shoulder top reminds me of Walt Disney's Princess Jasmine.
I paired it with a skirt bursting with various shapes and colors to exude a hip attitude.

Now off to some details of my ensemble:

Apple Green Off-shoulder Top by Taylor

Psychedelic skirt from Soigné clothing

One easy fashion tip I have for you is to wear bright colors to perk up your mood.

Experiment with different styles and patterns to create a fresh modern look.

Celebrity or not, it's all about power dressing.

Nowadays, power dressing is no longer limited to professionals of business and law. 

Trust me, it should already be incorporated to your daily life.

When you dress up, you command attention. 

Hopefully the kind of attention that would make first impressions last :)

Love,
