Boho Vibe

4:07 AM | Labels: , , , , ,

Whenever I hear "boho", Miley Cyrus (before she chopped her hair) would always come up first in my mind. She has always been my fashion icon especially since I'm a fan of laid-back looks (in which she was rockin' by the way). When I got my floral kimono from Fabulousa CDO's shop, it reminded me a photo of Miley Cyrus.

I actually wanted to do a Style Steal (which I'll be starting soon enough) but because I couldn't find my old bell bottom jeans, I dropped that thought. But due to such inspiration, I thought of reinventing the look to my usual style.

Easygoing

6:07 AM | Labels: , , , , , ,

Now that the holidays are over, I'm trying to transition myself gradually to prevent holiday hangover. Because I didn't want to procrastinate, I went ahead and do some requirements due on the 2nd week of January. I was able to finish most of the stuff on my list, I gave myself one last day of fun and relaxation as a reward.

Since I'm a self-proclaimed "Laid-back Queen", I wanted to wear something casual and comfy. Once again, I took out my fashion staple, button-down. This denim button-down is surprisingly very loose which I happen to like a lot. 
I just finished watching Shingkeki no Kyoujin (Attack on Titan). So, yeah. I got myself Eren Jaeger's key necklace. FYI, yes, I like watching anime! Teehee.
Wearing my bensimon sneakers really makes me wanna sing "Pumped up kicks" for some reason. I love this pair of sneakers so much because it's really light! I've been using it since morning and I really felt as if I'm not wearing shoes on! It's definitely worth the price!

Hello, 2014

4:48 AM | Labels: , , , , , ,

Another year, another set of adventures to face. I don't know about you guys but I'm so excited for 2014! I'm expecting a lot of things to happen, dreams to come true, goals to achieve, and moments to cherish this year. It may not seem like it but I love new years, it's the perfect time to start anew.

I would like to share to you guys my top 2 new year's resolution:
1. Face my fears head-on. It may not seem like it but I do have tons of fears which I conceal from my family and friends because I want to face it on my own but the thing is, I tend to procrastinate solving those problems. I intentionally delay acknowledging problems after problems after problems. It is because I fear that even if I try to resolve those things, I would fail. I'm a very prideful person and failure is one of my enemies. During 2013, I realized that even if I couldn't give the best solution to every problem that I have, at least I faced it head-on, and I guess that's what matters the most. 
2. Express what I feel more with my words. Because I'm an introvert type of person, I tend to seclude myself and my problems from other people. Sometimes, whenever I have concerns, I keep it to myself and assume that the people whom I'm concerned of knows it. One of my marketing instructors (and probably the BEST) said that in order for other people understand, what we really want and how we feel, we need to communicate with them well. We cannot always assume that people would understand what we're trying to say/show them. For them to fully understand the situation, we have to carefully explain it to them.

I actually have a long list of things I would want to change for me to be a better person but it would take me forever to do so. Anyway, what's your top 2 new year's resolution? I'd really love to know!
Moving on to the outfit. The past few months, I've been really obsessed with button-down shirts. My closet is being dominated by it. I actually am supposed to blog about another outfit post, where I am also wearing a button-down shirt, but I had to retake the photos. Anyway, button-down shirts are fashion staples. They can be easily worn with a pair of pants, skirts, basically anything!
To match the holiday season, I wore a pair burgundy pants to give it a bit of color.
I received this uber edgy clutch from my friends at SprucePH. It's an Alexander McQueen inspired clutch which I've been dying to have!
Here's a photo of the clutch's handle details.

Perfectly imperfect! Bensimon CDO

4:42 AM | Labels: , , , ,

BENSIMON IS FINALLY HERE! Comfort and style merged in one pair! Could things get any better? SprucePH, being the first to introduce Bensimon in CDO, is now offering these beauties! Last November 29, 2013, Lai Serrano invited me to an afternoon with other bloggers and photographers as we set our eyes on these bad boys.

 
 Bensimon sneakers are all about style and comfort, it's also packed with interesting facts! No two bennies (as what we'd like to call the sneakers) are identical. Yes, you've heard it right (or read it right, whatever). Usually, we see clean edges on our sneakers thinking how sleek, clean and perfect it looks; Bensimon sets apart from the ordinary sneakers through its imperfection. You see the rubber edges on it? Those aren't factory defects, those are made on purpose. It was initially planned for the makers to clean the rubber edges, but since no one seemed to be bothered by it, they pursued with having it that way. Because of that, Bensimon is known for having a perfectly imperfect sneakers.
Oh, you can bring these pairs ANYWHERE since they can be folded. Carry those goodies inside your bag and wear it to school if you feel like it. Hassle free! Got those beauties dirty? Throw them in your washing machine, it's fine. 

There are more interesting facts about these sneakers, you can also read its story on making it to the fashion industry by going to their website: Bensimon PH. 

Below is a photo collage of the bennies available in stores!
We were told to be in a "Parisian-inspired outfit" but since I had a class after the event, I had to excuse myself from the dress code. No #ootd for this post :( 
 Here's me with the other fab bunch. Local bloggers and photographers in Cagayan de Oro City.
 
 
 
 This week, I'm deciding to finally get my own bennies, but since there were a lot of colors and styles to choose from, I really needed a time to think. Reminiscing MYOH? Anyway, I'm stuck between choosing yellow or red as of the moment, but then, there's teal, PURPLE, navy blue... I need to decided fast!
Well, I guess that's all for today! Get your own bennies NOW!

Better Off Separated: part 1

5:10 AM | Labels: , ,

While I was cleaning my closet, I found my floral blazer and shorts pair hung far off of my closet rack. I haven't been using the floral duo for a while because I think I might vomit flowers at anytime. As a resolution, I used the blazer and shorts separately and came up with 2 outfits, hence the title. 


For this look, I went all casual. Floral patterns give a very summery/spring vibe and in lieu of that, I paired my floral shorts with a turquoise sleeveless blouse. 
Check back on Sunday to see the second part of this post!

Make Your Own Havaianas 2013 Sneak Peek!

7:15 AM | Labels: , , , ,

Last August 3, 2013, SprucePH invited me to an exclusive sneak peek for this year's MAKE YOUR OWN HAVAIANAS. It's that time of the year where people get to express their individuality through customizing their own havaianas pair. This year is a special one though, read more to know why!


For the past years, Havaianas collaborated with fashion institutions to come up with a very special design, presented almost every year. For this year's commemorative pair, Havaianas teamed up with a Filipino graphic designer, Dan Matutina. (PROUD TO BE PINOY!) 
Havaianas is also on the hunt for a design which will be part of the 2014 collection through a contest called, YOU+HAVAIANAS. Basically, people around the country could submit their own havaianas design, but only 1 person can be deemed as Havaianas' new design collaborator. I feel very proud that some Kagay-anons, made it to the top 20! Congratulations to Fourth Legara, Rose Anne Quirante, John Paul Sales, and Maria Carmela Lee. The contest will end on August 18, 2013. If you want to vote, just click the link below! Support local artists!

The sneak peek event for #MYOHCDO2013 was held in Italianni's Restaurant, Centrio - An Ayala Mall, CDO. We talked about YOU+HAVAIANAS; the awesome commemorative pair by Dan Matutina, and so much more! Below are pictures to feast on! Let me share to you guys a glimpse of this year's MYOH!
Here's a preview of the colors which you could choose from! Can you decide now which sole color to get? One advice, don't be hasty, there are more colors to choose from! In our case, it took us a lot of time to deliberate on which sole+strap+pin combination to get since Spruce is giving us a complimentary pair! HOOOORAH!
This is Dan Matutina's design. Did I mention that it's also the first ever GLOW IN THE DARK commemorative pair? Spell AWESOME!
While I was throwing myself deep in to the pool of candy-colored soles (yes, exaggerating) to find which color I will get this year,  the violet sole randomly reminded me of my iPad mini case from Chic Case CDO. To my surprise, it matched perfectly! Some of you may know how addicted I am to this color, but this time, I won't be getting the violet color. Why? Well...
I'm honestly diggin' the salmon, lime green, and pool green colors. I can't choose 1 color among them! On top of that, I don't know which strap color and pins to get! HELP!
Hmmmm, what do you guys think?
We all needed a quick break from standing for about 30 minutes. So, I present to you guys something to literally drool over, FOODGASM!

After we ate snacks, we resume on hunting for our own pair. Here are some photos during the wild hunt! :)

I guess you could say all of us have already made our decision, huh? I'll share my own havaianas next week!
After the chit-chats, color hunt, quick snack, etc, we all had a photo op with the Havaianas hot air balloon! By the way, SprucePH has an ongoing contest. You may have the chance to win awesome prizes! If you're interested to join, just follow @spruceph on Instagram, like SprucePH FB page, and follow these easy instructions!

That's about it for this post! I'm really excited for August 17, 2013! Hope to see you all there!
