Habits (I’ve been around and I’ve seen it all)

Fashion

 

Autumn is here and that means that ’tis the time of the year again I can experiment with rich fabrics such as jacquard, velvet and for this day- my personal choice- brocade. I always found richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics laced with metallic gold absolutely elegant and glamorous and if anything, it spells one thing: royalty. Okay, so I will never be royal…

On Breaking Ground

Fashion, Lifestyle
Fresh starts. Put your past behind you, and start over. It is hard to resist the chance at a new beginning. A chance to put the problems of the past to bed. But who gets to determine when the old ends and the new begins? It is not a day in the calendar, not a birthday, not a new year. It is an event. Big or small. Something that changes us. Ideally, it gives us hope.
 A new way of living and looking at the world- letting go of old habits, old memories. What is important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning. But it’s also important to remember that amid all the crap are a few things really worth holding on to.

A Better Version Of Me

Fashion, Outfit
Lately, I’ve been more than busy as I have decided to get up and go to the office and work from there. I once heard this popular saying that goes, “Find something you love to do, and you’ll never work a day in your life” and I now that I am finally part of the workforce, I have a deeper understanding of this saying. Well, aside from the fact that I absolutely do enjoy going to work and of course, what I do, I am also quite happy to be also challenged to dress up more creatively.

Sweet Little Something

Fashion, Outfit

 There are times when I like to keep things simple yet feminine and fun. The wonders of dressing up in a monochromatic outfit are endless and it is all about in how you embellish. This time, I decided to keep the otherwise basic look more flirty and girly by adding a hint of blush tones because if anything- I am a girl’s girl and well it seemed appropriate for Sunday dressing. I have to admit, there are some days that I feel just BLAH and that is when I have to remind myself that I have to be grateful. You see, as easy as it may be to point out every last thing that you currently do not have, there is ALWAYS something to be appreciative of. A lot of the time, we desire luxuries, situations, finances or people we can’t have, completely forgetting about all the treasures we’ve been granted in life. Continue reading Sweet Little Something

An Ode to the Little Black Dress

Fashion, Outfit, Personal
“One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress.” - Karl Lagerfeld The Little Black Dress is the most appropriate
piece of clothing a woman can ever own. I say this because truth be
told, here I am in another Little Black Dress. The last I wore one, I
was due for court.
This time, however, I worn one for a very festive occasion which was
the Birthday dinner of my beautiful and amazing mother over at Sage in
Makati Shangri-la Hotel. I wanted to wear something that looked festive
but at the same time maintained the elements of class and elegance and
this dress was the perfect fit. This dress in particular which was made
of tweed on its top area with a conservative cut and silver detail was
exactly that and then it took a youthful turn to fun with the organza
and almost tutu looking skirt. It was everything I pictured to wear on
an intimate dinner with family.
