SEM BREAK!

Fresh Start

I'M BACK TO SCHOOL B*TCHES! WOHOOO!!!!!!!!

Tall buildings, busy street, crowded and bustling – these are words that best describe a city but I knew one city that beyond being a busy-working place still manage to balance and reduce the stressful look of the city with artworks, it is Bonifacio Global City.

The Bonifacio Global City is known for its skyscrapers and undeniable cosmopolitan ambience. Every corner of BGC is splashed with modern art and sculptures that have been a part of its landscape. These interesting display of street art that is accessible, interactive (it can be experienced without complicated explanations), stimulating, engaging and educational all at the same time. Thanks to Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc. (BAFI), the artistic and the cultural arm of the city that manages the public art program responsible for several artpieces around BGC. -manilastandardtoday.com

GREAT OUTDOORS

Orchidarium , Baguio, Benguet, Philippines

A lot of people say that we need to go out, have fun and see the world out there, it’s a very deep

statement that can mean a million things. However, I truly agree that we need to be outdoor because out there we will able to meet new people, experience new things, feel different emotions and learn great things about life.

What I wore:

Folded&Hung Sweatshirt & pants

Oxygen Sling bag

SM Accessories Cap and leather bracelet

Dr. Martens Single Strap Suede Leather Shoes

BASIC

It's really hot here in Manila. Really, like hot enough to make your body produce so much sweat and make your shirt stick to your skin. So...because of the hot weather I don't really like wearing much fabric instead I go with basic clothing because admit it, it's the most comfortable ones (yea right). My ultimate favorite are plain gray shirts because I think it really matches my skin tone and I really feel good wearing gray I don't know why? I just. In this look I match my gray shirt with a black pants and my new pair of "single strap, buckled, suede Dr. Martens" I really love this new pair.

What I wore: Grey Shirt (SM Store) | Suede Shoes (Dr.Martens) | Wrist watch (SM Accessories)

DEEP BLUE SEA

I've been starting to love blue in it's darker shade so I created a look with it which reminds me of the deep blue sea. I really love this look because it is something I can wear both day and night in which both ways it's awesome.

What I wore: Long line shirt (U2); Bag, Eye wear & accessories(SM Accessories); Loafers (Ma.Co)

Summer Ready

STAY GOLD

What’s more classic than black and gold? Nothing, right? I’m a big fan of Classic things because they are so “classic” and timeless as they say. Black and gold is very limitless it can be worn not just into formal and fancy cocktail parties but as well as to streets, night outs and even on a usual day, when you wanted to look classy, elegant and expensive.

What I wore: Clutch Bag (Salvatore Mann); Sunnies & Accessories (SM Store), Gold Glitter Sweater & Black Pants (Thrifted)

THE TROPICS

Welcome to the Tropics! Hahaha I love the fact that I’m living in a tropical country where there are only two seasons the dry and wet but mostly sunny. I, myself really love our country as well as the warm sunny weather that made our country the source of very sweet and delicious tropical fruits, that is something were very proud of and (I’m sure) something you’ll going to miss after visiting our amazing country.

MONOCHROME

First post for 2015 yay! As my year starter I got this head to toe black look which is so classy, simple and something I can wear from day to night. It is also a perfect "You can never go wrong with black." kind of look.See my "ninja-ish" slip ons and Salvatore Mann black, leather clutch bag from SM Accessories.

Jordan 23

Black & white for Jordan hahaha. How I came up with the look? It starts with the shirt. I was actually looking for a baseball shirt but I saw this shirt which is more like a baseball shirt because of its thin stripes but it's not. and so i find it unique since baseball shirts are too mainstream too.

I'm not really a big fan of Jordan but I know he's a legend and wearing his name is very much as awesome as him.

Between Red & Brown

What’s between red and brown is maroon. According to wikipedia; Maroon (/məruːn/ mə-roon or /məroʊn/ mə-rone) is a dark brownish red color which takes its name from the French word marron, or chestnut.I've been starting to like maroon and I’m starting to have stuff in this color, which is actually awesome. I don't know why but I guess because I think it compliments my skin color. In this look I matched maroon with dark brown; leather bag and loafers. I actually wore this look at school for a class reporting and I think this is also best to be worn on a day out.
