CLASSIC PIECES

Not sure about what to wear? Wear classic pieces that never go out of style. Sometimes I'm a bit trendy, but most of the time I prefer beautiful and simple cuts in clothing. If you feel classic style is boring, remember you can always add a little of your personality.

Well hello there new hair color! I never dyed my hair with a shade so much lighter from black since I'm afraid for the outcome. But when boredom strikes, put all your fears aside and go for it! I'm more than happy with the result. You like? X

GRAY TONES

Ni Hao Ma! I'm wearing a lot of grays in my first day at Beijing. I really don't know what to wear, because we're all aware that in Philippines we barely layer clothes. It is my first time to try layering. I tried mixing lace button down shirt from Mom, thrifted leather motorcycle jacket, vintage plaid cover up, suede zara belt, H&M denim pants, aldo glittered loafers, and Sonia Rykiel quilted backpack all together.

Loving the spring season a lot, I hope we also have many seasons in the Philippines. Unfortunately we only have summer and rainy season.

DRESS CODE REVAMPED!

STRICTLY BUSINESS

COLOUR BLOCK

POLKA POP

IN UNIFORM

 

Gone are the days when the common perception of an Accountancy Student is that of a bespectacled number cruncher sitting on the sidelines. It is now replaced by an individual with a commanding presence who is able to demand attention without much effort. With a pop of colour and a slew of interesting shapes and patterns, AMV students should not feel restricted by the imposed rules, rather, they should be skilled at working their way around these rules without breaking the dress code.

I can't put into words how happy I am to see my works in the magazine of the official publication of UST - AMV College of Accountancy. To tell you the truth I have been waiting for this magazine, to come out, for so long. I think there's only about 1200-1300 copies released. Lucky are those who got one.

This is most kind of an outfit post. Everyday we woke up late, because our normal classes starts at 4 in the afternoon. But this day is more than the usual day we had in school. We are not wearing our college uniforms, no classes, and woke up so early just to be in school at 8am. There is this activity called Neo Centennial Celebration. Yes, UST is now on its 401st year. Too old huh!?

HEY 2012!!!

(Polo: Lacoste//Floral Skirt: Abercrombie &Fitch//Flats: Charles & Keith)

As you can see we have the kambal (twins) look. When we are a little Ate and I often have the same clothes that we wear at the same time. Until now many people are still asking if we are twins especially when travelling. We decided to wear same clothes for our 2011 family picture. 

The Abercrombie skirt is from, our lovely Aunt, Mommy Jude.

Happy New Year!!!

GOLDEN STARS

The approaching holiday is the perfect reason to buy yourselves everything you want. Not literally everything, but at least the things in top of your Christmas wish list. These pair of simple flats is just perfectly perfect.

FAIR ISLE REMIX

(M&DJ Fair Isle long cardigan, Forever 21 tank top, Vintage carrot pants from Mom, and Primadonna platform wedge) 

This happened a few weeks ago where we watched THE SOUND OF MUSIC at Resorts World, Manila. We did a little shopping too. Sad to say that the Comfit skimmer flats i bought that time got broken after    6 times of usage. Poor quality I must say.

Christmas is near and it seems to be cold, I cut the chill with a Fair Isle long cardigan from M&DJ. They have it in different colors. Check their site/store and be surprised with their beautiful and affordable clothes.

PINTIG TOMASINO 2010

My High School friend, Rhea, invited us to Tagaytay City which I think is two hours away from Manila. She celebrated her 18th birthday with us and her family there. It's like escaping from the city to hills. :D Happy Birthday my dear friend Rhea!
