STYLE | Smart Casual

Have you ever been invited to an event or an occasion for instance where in no dress code was ever mentioned. It’s kind of freaking me out pag ganyan. Nakaka freak out naman talaga!

EVENT| Grand Fiesta 2014 at Resorts World Manila : Ceremonial Christmas Tree and Giant Parol Lighting

Whenever I see Christmas decorations, I always and always feel that Christmas is near na. In fact, I started to hear Christmas songs in malls since October pa. I posted on my twitter account nga just right after hearing it that it’s really becoming to feel a lot like Christmas because of these Christmas songs. 

STYLE| Glowing Aura

Aside from shorts, I could say that I have a slight addiction to dresses and skirts. 

Ever since I started wearing short dresses, I always find myself shuffling through pages to find out a standout print or a stand out color in the latest trends online or when hunting around for best ones in stores. Since I am getting addicted to it, you will be able to see me more wearing one.

EVENT| Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection plus Sugar Acid Neutralizer Toothpaste Launch

Say hello to The NEW Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection plus Sugar Acid Neutralizer toothpaste. 
The newest from Colgate as it brings to the Filipinos the hope towards a Cavity- Free Future!

EVENT| My Blogapalooza 2014 Experience

Blogapalooza 2014 was held last October 11, 2014 at the SMX hall in SM Aura. It was supposed to be last September 20 but got postponed due to the tropical storm  Glenda that hit the greater portion of Luzon including Metro Manila.

Blogapalooza is the biggest Business -to-Blogger networking event which is held only once every year. Thanks to Vince Golangco of When In Manila and Anton Diaz of Our Awesome Planet, 2 of the most influential blogs in the country who have partnered together in gathering bloggers to meet with businesses. If I am not mistaken, they have established this event since year 2011 or 2012. This year, there about over 700 bloggers who registered for the event. This is my first year to attend and I surely enjoyed it.

STYLE| Fresh and White

A brand new week once again! How are you? All good huh? Yes? YES!

You may have noticed that once in awhile I randomly post inspirational and motivational images in my Instagram posts. 
I am purposely doing it to spread positive outlook to my readers and followers. 

Just recently, I have been getting some instagram direct messages and comments that they really appreciate these inspirational images especially at times when they are feeling low. 
Some are thanking me because they find the words uplifting. I tend to get motivated from my posts too you know...  :) :) 
It’s just that it brings so much joy to my heart receiving such appreciation not just from friends but even from my  followers around the world. 
To some, the simple happiness from being appreciated may just have a little impact but to me it means a lot. Either way, I am absolutely grateful to everyone who appreciates my posts. 
Knowing I have helped uplift them in their darkest moments is my happiness. I know we all need to be uplifted once in awhile and I just love how I may be making someone’s day a bit brighter :)

 --------

Speaking about uplifting of one’s day, I find the lace top from VANITYCHICK SHOP so dainty looking that it makes my outfit so clean and neat even if I just paired it with a denim shorts. The lovely top perfectly made me feel feminine and girly while letting me express my usual casual -chic style. This is  the second time that I get to wear a piece from VANITYCHICK SHOP and I love how their pieces made my look different from one another. 

OUTFIT DETAILS:

Hair Color | Lucky Princess

STYLE | Mint Condition

How are you guys? How's was your halloween? hope it was great. While I am writing this post, I am simultaneously browsing different news in the web and chatting with one of my NFBB (new found blogger buddy).  We talked about anything in the sun ~ from fashion, to food to people. I realized then that it's really funny how social media has taken over our lives. I don't know if it is just only me. But from my observation (especially in Facebook), there are really a lot who use it to brag about what they have in life. (Like, do you really need to? This is why I try to stay away from facebook lately as it has slowly become a place for bragging already! ) I mean, it's really fun to share happy moments, new stuff that you have or places that you have been into with your friends and family but please do it moderately so that you would not appear as if you are bragging only! ( especially if you know for a fact that you have exaggerated some of it just to make it appear that you are filthy rich -  It's irritating you know...) 

Okay, I know that our "want" to aways look best in every situation or in every photo that we have is already innate in each of us- and there's nothing wrong with that.  In fact I could even relate this situation to my photos here. The photos may look that there's nothing going on. But did you know that I had several ant bites during the photo session. Tsk! I know, hassle right! But still, I tried my best not to get affected with the itchiness and pains just to appear good in the photos. 

Actually, it should always be that way- we should always put our best foot to always look our best, to always appear in mint condition in all the things that we do. 

However, we should always be true to ourselves. If I projected as if I am perfectly fine, that's because I'm doing it for a good photo shoot. But if we are to look at the situation on a personal note, it is so wrong to be pretending to be okay when you are not. It is so wrong to pretend that you bought those expensive items (again) even if it means that you will be in debt for the next century! haha! joke. But seriously, I hope that we could please try not to be somebody that we are not so we will not appear trying oh so hard. 

Let's all live within our means. Let's all be true. :) 

---------

For this outfit post, I really love how the mint cropped top from RIPPLES fits to my "taba" body. hehe. The cropped top is made of a stretchable fabric which definitely hid my fats haha! While the puffy skirt from KAI'S perfectly hid my big hips. :) To the girls who also have my similar body type, you can try this look too. Toss some chunky necklace and hat to look chic.  I paired the outfit with the pretty black and gold strapped flats from SHOEZETTE which completed my look.

 I want how the mint perfectly matched the color black. A total contrast of the light and dark colors helped me achieve my hippie-chic look.  What to you guys think?

WEARING:

Hat | The SM Store
Top | Ripples
Skirt | Kai's
Necklace | HeyJaimieGirl
Shoes | Shoezette

Style | Bad Habits

How have you been doin' lately? Hope you are all good and feeling great. I am not feeling as great at the time while I am writing this post. My joints are sore.... 

Gosh, I have been feeling all sorts of pain like this recently and it starts to worry me already. I guess that's the problem when you start to age. You suddenly feel tired then feel all those aches and pains. Life sucks huh! But this is life....

I must confess I do not practice a healthy lifestyle. I eat everything - as in every single thing that you could think oozing with cholesterol and calories. I don't take vitamins and supplements. I don't sleep early. I don't exercise. So I guess those bad habits that I did in the past are slowly taking over my body. (Diba nga ang sabi ng mga matatanda, lahat yan may singil. I guess all of what our grandma's had to say before are all true!)

These pains that I currently feel makes it a total wake up call to me. It's already telling me that I should totally change my lifestyle. 

Please don't be like me okay... Take care and love your body all the time :)

Moving over... 

For this post I am featuring another casual - street wear outfit. 

I love how the sheer floral top from VANITYCHICK SHOP just flow loose on my body. The moment I saw this top, I already know that it would perfectly match the high-waisted jeans from THE SWEET CLOTH

While some prefer to wear their high- waisted jeans with cropped fitted tops, I on the other hand did the opposite. I purposely styled it this way so that my hips won't draw so much attention -(big hips problems ya' know!)   I don't know, it must be out of shyness because up to now I still have this tendency in hiding my hips instead of flaunting it.  I know I should not be hiding it because to others they consider having big hips as a plus asset. But who knows! Maybe in the coming months you would already see me pairing up this high-waisted jeans to tight fitting tops because I am going to start changing my lifestyle today before its too late. 

I'm already excited seeing myself eating healthy plates with a physically fit and toned body! Yiiiiiiiii! wish me luck :)

OUTFIT DETAILS:
Hair Color | Lucky Princess
Sunnies | Estella Shimei
Necklace | iShoppers 
Floral Sheer Top | Vanitychick Shop
Bag | Longchamp Le Pliage Losange from Jaimie'sObsessions 
High waisted jeans | The Sweet Cloth

STYLE | Posh Pink ~~ in support to the breast cancer awareness month

"October is breast cancer awareness month. Everybody knows about breast cancer and many worry about it. 
But all the worry and fear in the world is wasted energy and added stress if we don't take the steps to reduce our chances of getting cancer. 
And that means regular screening and early detection, as well as healthy lifestyle. " 

I read the article above from the herald news tweet. We all know that whatever type of cancer it would be, it definitely is deadly. Cancer is not something new to me since my Dad battled from the deadly illness and it still breaks my heart each time I look back the year my dad got diagnosed. It was already stage4 when it got detected so no chances of reversing everything.  But with breast cancer,  it is another story ~ It is often reversible. One could still be cancer free even if you have been diagnosed with it.
We have a modern technology nowadays --
With the right doctor, proper intake of prescribed meds and healthy lifestyle, one can be saved from the cancer's "death sentence". 

Moving over since I don't want to bring back so much pain in my heart ~ The outfit I'm featuring in this post is more on a casual street-style. I paired a peep shoulder knitted top to a
midi-cut ripped denim jeans and the very cute dog and cat flats courtesy of The Purpektion Shop. Since pink is such a girlie color, I took advantage of its girlieness and paired it with the soothing posh teal colored bag from GET TO GO BAGS. It matches my green ombre hair too right? This is my second bag from Get to Go Bags and I must say that it's made of finest quality materials. And if you are going to review the price range of their products, with the quality and materials used ~ it is definitely purchase worthy!

To sum it up, whether you are always a fan of the "it" trends or prefer to stick with the basics, at one point or another, you need to add soft colors to your wardrobe. Soft hues are a classic staple and are timeless enough. This make this tones wearable year after year and when styled just right, it can make one's look trendy and cool.

OUTFIT DETAILS:

Hair Color | Lucky Princess

Top | M & Co.

Rubellite Tourmaline Necklace | HeyJaimieGirl

Midi-cut ripped jeans | Topshop

Belt | Dickies Clothing

Flats | The Purpektion Shop

We are aware about breast cancer already but are we DOING something to PREVENT it? SO BEFORE I END THIS POST,  I HAVE CREATED A SIMPLE TASK FOR MYSELF AND FOR YOU TO HELP INCREASE BREAST CANCER AWARENESS. If you wish to join in, wear something pink too in support for those who are suffering from the illness and for everyone to be more conscious and aware. Let's all encourage our mothers, sisters and friends to do the same. Hope you will join me loves!

Below is a photo of me wearing a pink top without wearing any make-up showing my full support for the breast cancer awareness.
Let's all hug awareness, do self - breasts exams monthly and have a regular check-up to our doctors. We can do it all together!

Xoxo, J
