Hello Sinulog

Last weekend, my bestfriend Echie and I flew to Cebu for Sinulog.

We arrived Mactan airport on Friday at around 10:30 pm.
Our gorgeous bestie Jas and her boyfriend Rap picked us up and
we went straight to Maya, a Mexican restaurant to grab some late night dinner.

Jon and Ichi joined us and damn, it was one crazy night full of stories and jokes!
It was a mojito kind of night and it felt like college all over again.
We left the place at around 3 am in the morning! Good Times Indeed :)

It's my 3rd time in Cebu, yet my first time to experience Sinulog.
So the blogger in me felt like sharing with you snippets of what it is all about.

We attended a Procession last Saturday.
This was how jampacked it was.

Oh what Faith can do. Truly amazing.
Sinulog Festival is held in honor of the Sto Niño every 3rd Sunday of January.




Sunday is when the Grand Celebration begins. Expect to get wet and wild, literally.
So wear something fun, light and comfortable.

To demonstrate, this top was once a shirt,
 but I cut and styled it according to my preferred look.
Special thanks to my artsy friends for helping out :)


This look I created can be worn in 3 ways:
A sleeveless shirt as shown above,
an offshoulder top like so


or a one-shoulder top as you deemed fit.


It's all a matter of creativity. 
Checkout Echie's look! Simply Fabulous!


Now that we are ready, off to somewhere fun! :)


And yes, I'll reiterate, you'll get really dirty along the way :)


This is the Grand Parade where you'll find the most colorful costumes.

And now, let the Street Dancing begin :))
Thanks dear Jas for the photos


My friends and I attended Sinulog Royals 2016 at Alejandro's Century Plaza.


Thank you Jas for taking care of us. I know I've been saying this repeatedly,
but someone like you is rare to find and I am beyond grateful that
we have been best of friends all these years. I will always have your back :)




It was truly a night of merriment. Crazy but full of love.
Definitely one for the books.

Here's DJ Kirby to cap off my post :)

Worth the Second Look

Every girl's Cinderella moment is 
when she gets to dressup like a modern day princess.


 Lace Embroidered Organza Wedding Dress

Two of the most important occasions in our lives 
will always be Prom and The Day we say "I Do".

As a fashion lover and stylist, I am in constant search for brands that will
make every girl's dream come true and I've found this in ROSA NOVIAS AU .



ROSA NOVIAS AU is an online shop that sells 
custom made wedding dresses, prom dresses and evening wear.

And now that PROM is fast approaching, 
I've made a list of my Top 10 Look Recommendations
(in no particular order) that will make any guy head over heels.


A-line Chiffon Prom Dress
Pastel hues are perfect for this Season. 
Go for Chiffon and an A-line silhouette to achieve a dazzling look. 
Adding a halter neckline like so will bring just the right amount of sexy.


More about the A-line chiffon look 

Sleeveless Tulle Prom Dress
If your dream is to look like Princess Jasmine or become Belle of the Ball,
then it's time for you to sport a tulle gown. 
Opt for a Bateau neckline made of beads and sequins.

Mermaid Prom Dress

Unleash the daredevil in you by sporting a mermaid silhouette in black
combined with an intricate neckline. Now that's a different kind of sexy.

More about this Serpentina cut

A-line Chiffon Short Prom Dress
Sport a sweet ballerina look with this ensemble.
Opt for a backless dress made out of lace for a more romantic yet sexy appeal. 
Achieve this look and you can now call yourself a swan princess.

One Shoulder, Slit Chiffon A-line Cocktail Dress

They say less is more. If simplicity has always been your mantra,
then let your beauty shine with a one-shoulder neckline and 
a thigh split maxi cocktail dress. Accessorize a little and you'll look
like a Grecian Goddess endowed with utmost beauty and grace.

Lace Dress
Nothing screams more sexy than an offshoulder full lace bodice. 
Opt for white for a classy and sophisticated look.

Sweet & Short Party Dress
Dazzle everyone present by wearing a stunning red dress in V-Neck.
Make sure to choose one that screams exquisite from head to toe.

 Cocktail Dress
Ever wanted to wear a look inspired by the Great Gatsby?
Here's a peg that you might want to consider for prom chosen by yours truly.

Jewel Sheath Prom Dress
A floor-length dress in dainty or pastel colors 
can give you a very charming look. 
Choose a Jewel-toned neckline like so to accentuate your lovely curves.
 And if you feel like twinning around, then by all means, go ahead.

Champagne Pleats Dress
 Go all out Hollywood glam with this beautiful masterpiece.

That Plaid Look

Happy New Year my dear Readers! 
Today marks the second blank page of your 365 page life book,
 so make sure to write a good one :)


This 2016, 
I'm starting off my look with the classic --- PLAID.


Plaid has always been one of the crowd-favorite,
because it's something everybody can easily wear and style.


My lovely V-Neck Plaid dress is from ROMWE
one of my most-loved global online fashion stores.
So if you need some party dresses, accessories or 
just about anything stylish, I definitely recommend this store.


Since I opted for a laidback look,
I chose to wear my sneakers from Natural World Eco
to complement my ensemble. 


If you are still studying, you can also take inspiration from here
and make your look either chic, rock, preppy, all depending to your mood.
It's all a matter of choosing the right accessories and footwear.


Now that we all have a clean slate to start with,
I sincerely hope that we all make better and wiser decisions this 2016.


They say that time heals everything 
and I couldn't agree more.
Always remember that 
no one can take charge of your happiness except you.


Plaid Flare Dress by Romwe
White Sneakers by Natural World Eco


It's time to be a style chameleon.
Let's all strive in making our dreams come true :)

Love,

Baby it's Christmas

Christmas may have gone by so fast,
but the Holiday Cheer is still very much intact. 
Now that it's almost New Year, it's the perfect time to glam up :)

A photo posted by Twinie Kaye Ng (@twiniekaye) on

Today's ensemble takes inspiration from the 
girl-next-door look, but with a modern twist.


Who says you can't wear sneakers with a feminine outfit?
A little touch of sporty wouldn't hurt.
For me, it's not only comfortable but ultra stylish.


My white sneakers is from Natural World Eco.
It's a shoe brand from Spain that prides themselves with manufacturing
fashionable footwear using only eco-friendly materials.

Now that's an initiative that is very admirable and worth supporting. 
Thank you Tita Priscilla for this lovely pair of white sneakers :)


How about you? How do you plan to rock the white sneaker trend this season?
As what I always say, don't be afraid to experiment with different styles.
Change is also good. Let yourself evolve to a better and more fashionable you :)

If you're still in love with Christmas,
here's a little music to keep you company.


Love,

When In HongKong

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to visit HongKong and destress a bit. 
Though we were not able to visit Disneyland and Ocean Park this time around
 due to massive changes in our plans, it was one hell of a trip. 

For my readers who haven't been to Disney, (whether it be in HK or USA etc.), 
do make sure to put it in your bucketlist, because I guarantee you'll love it :) 



A big hello from my twin and I :)

We were also joined by grandpa and our cousin (who took this photo).
One reason why we came to HK was to satisfy our food cravings.


When in HongKong, you eat as if there's no tomorrow.



And what better way to do it than celebrate with the company of relatives and friends.
After all, they can make good food recommendations, now that they are locals!


And this is what I'm talking about.

And the famous DIMSUM.
All to our heart's content :)

The second tip: When in HongKong, go island hopping.


Do visit Lantau Island,
HongKong's largest outlying island and home to the giant Buddha.
The bronze Buddha is said to be 111 feet or 34 meters high.





To get here is actually the fun part.



Through a cable car ride, you'll get an incredible panoramic and
breathtaking view of the mountainside and the South China Sea.
It's an experience one shouldn't miss.


Can't help but take a little video selfie! :)

A video posted by Twinie Kaye Ng (@twiniekaye) on

I highly suggest choosing the glass-bottomed Crystal Cabin
(than the Standard Cabin) for you to fully experience
an incredible dimension of beauty and magnificence.

If you have a big fear on heights,
then this will be a challenge, but I promise, it will be all worth it.

If this isn't your cup of tea, the third of option you can do is
When in HongKong, get lost and explore.
Ride a tram and visit Madame Tussauds, a wax museum of famous personalities!
To know more about it, checkout this post of mine: Walk with Me


Experience the beauty of the Hongkong skyline
by also visiting The Avenue of Stars located in Tsim Sha Tsui.

If you want to read more about it,
you may checkout my previous feature of HongKong: Avenue of Stars 


Now that we have finished eating and exploring,
then it's time to shop.

When in HongKong, immerse yourself in fashion.

Whether you're an avid fashionista or just feel like strolling around,
Times Square is a beautiful place to do just that.

And OMG, Star Wars StormTroopers!!!
Our visit was so timely :)
For those who haven't watched The Force Awakens, 
do yourself a favor and buy yourself a ticket! You'll enjoy it!

I already miss Hong Kong!
Oh the separation anxiety :)

A Merry Christmas to everyone!
