Mix and Match

I know, I know... I'm theee best slacker ever, but when your city gets affected by 2 natural calamities (the most recent earthquake and Yolanda), it's so hard to prioritize your blog while seeing real people seeking for help and I guess that is an asset that Filipinos needs to be proud of -- conscience over passion.

Anyhow, let me share with you a look I wore during MYOH 2013 Cebu Leg. This was way back July this year. Just realized how many my backlogs are already. Oh dear, I don't even want to start counting.

HYPE me on LOOKBOOK here.

Blazer from Markus; Tank Top from Tee Culture; Jeans from Penshoppe; Shoes from Milanos; Watch from SM Accessories; Customized Bracelets from Ana Gonzales (I super like it!).

I just love mix and matching things. Bright colors is just my thing (probably because I'm dark. LOL!) and  fusing summer and a formal wear is not that bad after all. At the end of the day, it's how you carry what you wear. Just don't forget how to smile and interact. BTW, thank you for the photos Eden! ;)

I will be helping out Eden of www.chicinthetropics.com (hopefully time will permit) with their plan of donating for those who got affected with Yolanda (Haiyan). Know more of the donation project here.

A themed futuristic contest held at the office a few weeks ago and I simply want to share what I wore (Hype my look here). I was the one who conceptualized and made the story for our team and grabbed the BEST DRESS (Team)! Our Queen Amidala also won the Best Dress (Individual)!

What do you think of how we look? ;)

Waaaaaaacky! :D

Still in a trance of everything that has happened this year and I simply can't believe that 2012 is about to end.

First and foremost I would like to thank the man behind Best Cebu Blogs, Mark Monta for the recognition. Kudos to you and your crew! I would also like to thank everyone who supported my blog and was named the 5th Cebu Famous Bloggers.

Lastly, I want to give a big love to my AWESOME friends (you know who you are)! I love you all sooo much!

Will be posting my Manila trip and my BU 4 experience real soon!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Into the Wild - Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel

I was a bit all around the place for the weekend. Friends, my partner and even myself was so busy that we were not able to catch up with each other. I had to do a hosting gig for the whole Saturday which made me sleep the entire Sunday.

Anyways, I went to this awesome resort named as Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel, which happened to receive the highest resort classification (AAA) award from the Philippine Department of Tourism. To top all of that, Costabella proudly flaunts their love for art, culture and family.

Look at the carving at the background. It is a Cebuano who carved those! See how amazing it is?

Yes, Costabella is a family oriented hotel that will give you the warmth of your own home. A lover of art and culture giving pride to local artists in Cebu promoting their masterpieces and the antiques that they have successfully took good care of.

Hype my look above on LookBook (here).

As much as I really want to, I can't seem to express through writing how amazing this place is. I am completely in a trance just looking at every corner of the hotel. These art collection is magnificent! Kudos to all the staff and crew who made the hotel such a lovely place to live in.

There is so much to see in Costabella and I strongly suggest that you check the place out. They probably have more art than what you find in other museums. It is also a must to check out their lovely rooms (with its customized weaved bed cover) and amenities too.

Break Your Little Heart

Blazer from Jinhuangguan; Shirt from Human; Pants from Markus;  Shoes from Sperry; Watch  and Tribal bracelet from SM Accessories; Chained bracelet from 101 New York; Bag from Folded&Hung

There are times that you just effortlessly stumble and fall to the core of your relationship and you don't know how to go back and glue all those little pieces of your heart. Yes, it recently happened and that probably (no doubt) is the reason why I wasn't able to update this blog for a long time...and plus work that is taking most of my time really.

Thanks to this awesome shirt from Human, I was able to express what my heart was trying to consume. Thank you fashion! LOL! I am okay now and we are working things out. That's the important thing right?

I will try to post as often as possible and will update you with more things soon!

Zip Your Way To Summer - Postura Day 1

Please hype this look on LookBook here.

Ray-Ban sunglasses; Zippered detachable convertible blazer from 101 New York;  Neon blue inner shirt from Oxygen; Silver jeans from Markus; High-cut shoes with neon orange lace from Ren Ben

Finally, made my first entry for the POSTURA 30 Day Blogger Challenge! I would have posted this a week ago if it wasn't for my awesome brother who used the PC for 5 straight days non-stop (just to play his online games) which caused it to over-heat...and ruined my hard disk. Bummer right?

Anyways, I'm glad that I have finally pulled this look! It has been kept in closet for quite sometime and I thank Eden, Yves and Yuno for making this possible. I just love hanging out with these people with such bright and optimistic sense of humor! Good vibes indeed!

BTW, I just love this detachable convertible blazer from 101 New York!!! The details of the zippers and the cut is sooo edgy! It was worth the money ;)

Good vibes to all!
