Its Halloween!

Halloween.
The only night of the year where people take time to really dress up as something really crazy. The crazier, the better. I've never really spent halloween here in the philippines since we usually spent our vacations in Guam. So I thought this year would be exciting since I get to dress up with my friends, you know, bulky incorporate wigs, crazy make up or just whatever that's out of the world!

SAD TO SAY, Thanks to the major rain damage, Stuck at home. Movies and Popcorn, the usual.
and yess.. like most girls on halloween, they go for the slut look.. I told myself that I'd have a socially relevant, funny and/or scary costume this year, but I couldn't bring myself to actually go through with it.. oh well! i just like what i like ya knowwww. Oh and plus, im so over the slut look, i dressed up as a french maid on my birthday! Really went well. ;)

I saw this picture (below) on the net; and I really loved how she put the pieces together. Like most girls on halloween, they go for the "slutty" variety. But she stood out. She spent one whole saturday afternoon chopping, spray-painting and glue gunning her masterpiece together. It actually turned out better than okay! :)

The Coffee Shop Project

Me and Abby chose the taft to be our source for the trendspotting project.
Students around taft portrays different personalities that reflect their character in fashion. This is where you see teens that are divided into different cliques grouped together. There are some who looks like school is their runway, some has the "I-dont-care-what-you-think-about-me-i'm-gonna-dress-up-how-i-want" look, and some just plays safe.
In this project, we were asked to take photos of people that are divided into the fashion cycle(introduction, growth, maturity or decline) I just thought that taking photos at taft would be accessible for us. We actually did asked for their permission if we could take their photos, and they were happy to do so. You can tell by their faces. So by the end of the day, me and Abby gathered a lot of random photos of people for our project. All we have to do is compile them! And we're done! :)

Boots are back and higher than ever!

It's like love at first sight, YOU KNOW THAT YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT <3

So how do you work them without looking for a $6 cent hooker?
Simply by following these rules:
1 Never pair leather boots with anything else leather.
2 Mix with styles, if the boots are heeled go for black tights to keep the focus on the feet and it will also elongate legs.
3 Buy a flat pair if your not confident with your walk, then decide on the heeled versions.
4 If your buying leather, don't go for glossed or patent leather. They will only make the shoes look less classy.

Find your inner style

The way a person dress asserts their identity, but with style, it creates a new story.

In her first book, Nina Garcia emphasises the importance of being one’s own personality rather than a fashion victim. Quotes from icons such as Sophia Loren, Coco Chanel and Katherine Hepburn are sprinkled throughout (even Albert Einstein gets a look in!). The Little Black Book of Style helps you to explore your own fashion voice—the piece of you that joyously revels in the glamorous experience of creating your best self. Nina Garcia also uses her influence to coax some well respected names such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Oscar De La Renta and Ralph Lauren to participate in question and answers on the last pages of the book. From cultivating good taste to guarding against definite fashion faux pas, Nina Garcia offers readers the ultimate guide to follow when it comes to dressing their best. Including tips on how and when to wear an outfit to what occasions are appropriate wear, advice on how to combine colors and textures, and inspiration on how to achieve your own signature look, you learn how to experiment, storyboard, archive, and play with fashion on your own sense.
In that way, style affords you opportunities to think about your appearance as a quality of your creative character.

The Little Black Book of Style by Nina Garcia is another style bible promising tips, advice and inspiration for women who have yet to find their sense of style. In her own words Nina Garcia aims to “awaken the fashion editor inside you and help you decide what image you want to convey to the world”

Who is your fashion icon?

For my first entry, I want to talk about my fashion icon :)
Fashion is an unbelievable thing. Well, in a good way ofcourse. The way a person dresses up can truly alter their mood. I mean, when you wear something that you really love, you feel really good about it and gains your confidence as you walk along the way. As I talk about fashion with other people, To which I like to respond, “Who is your fashion icon? Who do you see on TV and be like, I want her hair, her clothes, her confidence” It's always best to have someone to look up to. There is always someone, regardless if they are famous or someone you know personally in life. But most of the time they will say, "I'm... not so sure?"


For me. Well, I have several ofcourse. Its Lauren Conrad
Well, it’s funny cause i first saw her on Laguna Beach. From then, I have always admired her great taste in fashion and how she does not try too hard to look her best but she ends up to be. She always looked so classy and elegant in a casual trendy look. She can just throw into her sweats and still look fashionable. She has grown in fame and in visibility through out the show, and i continue to admire her fashion choices. I love how she doesnt have to be in a very expensive branded clothing line but still look amazing. She knows what looks good on her and she carries it well. It doesn’t matter if she’s on camera, out and about with her friends or heading into work, she’s got it. And I just love her for it… she’s definitely my fashion icon!

So, who's your fashion icon? :)
