Grunge it up
This is what you get when you’re bored, have a camera in hand, and Pixlr-o-matic. Photos taken last December.
I tend to be schizophrenic in my style meaning I dress up in whatever way I want to. I can be sweet and chic in one time, then grunge the next. But if you were to ask me what my signature style is, I’d say grunge is my roots.

One Saturday affair
Last Saturday, I was supposed to conduct an interview with Karen Jimeno, one of the spokespersons for the defense in the Corona Impeachment trial, for our school paper The Palladium together with my publication co-heads. The interview didn’t push through, however, because of sudden engagements Jimeno had to attend to. Nevertheless, it was a fruitful day because I got to try Cafe Mary Grace...

Scarf Project: The Classic Drape
This is the simplest and most popular way of wearing a scarf — just drape it over your shoulders. Never fails to add the perfect touch to a look.

Where to keep your accessories
Why, in an accessory holder such as this of course! Say hello to Avon’s accessory holder…
Side 1
Side 2
It has multiple pockets in various sizes for necklaces and rings, a mesh net for earrings, and a number of loops for necklaces and bracelets. I have been looking for something like this but the ones I find are always too expensive — those ranging in the P500+ mark....

The happiest heart
Valentine’s day is known as the day for couples. It’s the day when men become more sweeter, and women more expectant. -_^
But this is not what February 14 is really about. Valentine’s day is the day of hearts no matter from whom the love comes from—your boyfriend/girlfriend, parents, siblings, cousins, or friends. The love doesn’t have to come from a certain special...

Review: Etude House Petit Darling Nails Matte # 10
No Style Tips this Sunday peeps! I’ve been busy so I had no time to write one. Anyway, here’s my long overdue review of Etude House Petit Darling Nails Matte, which was part of my things to review posted here.
One type of nail polish I’ve always been curious about are matte polishes. This is because I’ve always considered nail polish as glossy and shiny, and matte polish...

Dress up your photos
Yesterday, I discovered one of the coolest things I ever saw in the internet — Pixlr-o-matic. I may be late in discovering this awesome piece of work, but you know what they say, better late than never.
I learned about it while watching Bestie of The Capricious Blog’s vlog #1. She’s one of my favorite bloggers and it’s such a delight to find out about this program from...

Pearls and chains
My title sounds like a name for a rock band doesn’t it? You heard it here first (or maybe not). Haha! This will be awfully quick because I’m currently drowning in mounds of readings for school.
I was able to take another outfit shot right before going to school so here it is. A simple top and trousers combo is a fail safe look. All you have to do is add accessories to spice it up.

Shining shimmering splendid
Yes, my blog title is from one of Aladin’s songs. I suddenly had that urge to sing it in my head, which is quite apt considering my dress is shiny and shimmery. Splendid!
When I become a lawyer (hopefully in the near future), I’d be donning dresses like these everyday. The original plan was to dress daily in Jason Wu pieces, but of course, that’s hardly reachable…yet....

Style Tip # 3: Using the color wheel
Some people usually don’t like infusing color into their outfits and prefer to stick with reliable blacks, beiges, and browns. There are also others who may add color into their looks but only sparingly. While these may be classic and fail safe ways to dress up, won’t it be more lively, free, and whimsical to concentrate your look on colors? Playing with colors is one of the fun things...

Online store spotlight: Anagon Collection
I have been reading the answers from my blog giveaway and I just have to say thank you for all your suggestions! I will heed of course. One entry said I should write more online store features, which I think is a great idea because I am such an avid online shopper. In fact, most of my clothing and accessory purchases last year came from online shops!
So let me introduce you to another new...

It's a collared world
If you haven’t noticed, the fashion world is going collar-crazy! Detachable collars seem to be the new trend du jour for 2012—and I surely am not complaining. While I may not be one who succumbs to trends with just a flick of a finger, this one just captured my interest, and my heart along with it, as soon as I saw it.
Say hello to my newest baby, Flatterbuy’s detachable collar in...
