Daily OOTD

in Mall of Asia I used to have the notion before that “Fashion Week” would be all about couture, high fashion and designer pieces. I’m glad I was able to break that notion this year and attend fast-fashion retailer shows such as F21 and Suite Blanco! Philippine Fashion Week 2014 This is what I wore to the only day I attended PhFW. I received invites for the F21, Suite Blanco, Sfera and Uno De 50 shows and I do not regret going one bit! 🙂 Yuki Tansengco My outfit is ready for a dainty tea-party! Guess where I got the dress? W.E. Garage blue polka-dot dress I’ve been so caught up with the blogging side of my life lately that I’ve sort of drifted from my main of interest – the business. So I need to focus for the holidays starting with this dress. It’s one of our prototypes – what do you think? SM Parisian brown heels | Abby Jocson tote Gone are the days when my interest was tight-fitting bodycon dresses. I find myself gravitating towards shapeless and loose-fitting pieces now. It’s all about comfort without sacrificing style! Forever 21 white blazer Before, I used to mind when…

T-shirt dress from ZALORA Nothing feels more comfy than slipping on a cotton t-shirt dress. I found this while browsing through one of my favorite e-commerce sites – Zalora Philippines! Keeping it simple For pieces like this, you can simply wear a necklace with no fuss.  Lazy afternoon Grey & white I apologize if my white heels make a regular appearance on the blog. It’s really important to have a staple pair like this! One of my favorite places to shop for heels is Zalora Philippines! This site carries a wide range of stylish on-trend women’s shoes to match any outfit. Leopard sunnies from ZALORA I also got this pair from Zalora. I love how they do the “Same Day Delivery” and allow you to settle your payment when you delivery aka “COD”. It saves me from long lines at the bank! Unique pocket One of the details that caught my attention is the unusual pocket placement of this dress. You can even unbutton it to remove! Haha Hair by Blo I tried out the “Red Carpet” blowout and it’s perfect for those casual days. It adds volume and a little bit of curl at the ends! If you want to…

White + Denim overalls kind of day Proudly wearing one of my classic ukay finds – these overalls. The perfect hybrid of comfortable jeans and a glamorous jumpsuit and it’s making a serious comeback. Glad it’s no longer associated to the look of farmers and toddlers, overalls have been given a chic makeover and I can’t wait to overwear this casual trend. Overlooked Overalls Been getting a number of positive comments lately on Instagram and the blog, like people noticing my hair color change. I’m beyond kilig but truly, there’s a glam team behind it who are the real superstars that shouldn’t be overlooked.  Thrifted denim overalls | Forever 21 white strappy heels | Abby Jocson Erin Tote | W.E. Garage crop top You can never go wrong with the classic white with denim. I found this baby while I was thrifting somewhere in Manila and paired it with my favorite W.E. Garage crop top, an Erin tote from Abby Jocson and white heels! Sending warm hugs and kisses I really appreciate all the comments, likes, and favorites so I’d like to take this minute to say thank you! Thank you for always following my weirdness on the blog and…

Leather for the weather My heart is still mourning for DLSU’s loss as I type this but we must move forward somehow, right? I guess today’s rainy weather was already a sign… a sign for me to wear leather. Head-to-toe in F21 I never thought of leather (or similar material) will be ever appropriate to wear under Manila weather but I surprisingly found a piece that’s more of haute than hot. 😉 Yuki Tansengco Recently, I went to the First x Forever relaunch of Forever 21 SM Megamall which you can read about here. The new hip design made it easier for me to navigate around the store and led me to these pieces! So today, I finally conclude that it’s okay to whip out your leather jackets and not melt at all. 🙂 Casual Burgundy Jacket | Php1275.00 I thought it would be really warm but I was wrong. This casual jacket from Forever 21 is light and is made of leatherette – a thinner kind of material. It has a lot of pocket compartments, too! Gold Mixed Chain Necklace | Php620.00 I am a sucker for choker-type gold necklaces. You’ll be in accessory-heaven for sure when you go…

Dress up, Show up You know what’s worse than a very long to-do list? A FLU that wants to be part of it! There is nothing more horrifying than get sick when you have lots of activities in lined – yikes! On fighting the flu As long as your sickness isn’t contagious, always try your best to still show up and do your deliverables. Here’s are quick tips to style yourself despite the flu bug. Haha! CLOTLE white dress | Forever 21 heels I already KNEW it – the sneezes, body pains, etc. I knew I was getting the flu but I have committed to attend events that week so I tried my best. One of which was the Optic White Dream Wedding Launch. So glad I have this handy LWD (Little White Dress) from CLOTLE! To see the other colors, like CLOTLE on Facebook! H&M jacket The dresscode for the event is to wear white, of course. Since I was down with the flu, I felt SO COLD in the most normal room temperature. Has that ever happened to you? So I grabbed this jacket on my way out since I knew I’d feel cold at the event. Subtle…

Vintage I’ve always been a fan of wearing knits but I’ve never found the right weather or timing to pull it out. One rainy afternoon, it was really cloudy so I dug up this dress that belonged to my mom and decided to pull off a modern Audrey Hepburn. What do you think? Knit game: Strong When wearing knits, I try to keep my accessories minimal to focus on the intricate details on the fabric.  Yuki Tansengco Here are quick tips on how to pull off knits here in the Metro! Vintage knit navy blue dress | Topshop knit cardigan | Zara boots | Abby Jocson tote Knits obviously have the tendency to be warm so I make my outfit versatile by bringing a cardigan. Since the hemline of the dress is already short, I use it to wrap around my waist. I picked out a printed one to contrast the solid color of the dress. High Society I opted for a simple updo hairstyle so I picked “High Society” which is one of Blo’s 7 Signature Hairstyles. I love how you can tweak it from a slick bun to a messy tie knot like this. Vintage jewelry I have…

Yuki Tansengco In a scene wherein companies only seem to sell us items for the main purpose of earning profit, making us want items that we don’t really need and worse, making us buy things that aren’t worth our money – there are some things that give me hope: honest brands with honest people. Honest to Goodness I strongly believe in karma, saying what goes around comes around. Even if being honest should be the ONLY option for us, I somehow find it so heartwarming when people choose that path when they could’ve done otherwise. in Trinoma So let me share with you 3 little experiences that GAVE me hope! 😉 Forever 21 ripped jeans & white heels First, these heels in F21 gives me hope. Why? For the first time in a long time, I bought a pair of heels that are so durable AND affordable. The best part – they don’t hurt AT ALL! No blisters to wounds on my feet. I call these my Milo marathon heels! Lol! W.E. Garage Batter Up cap Second, my newest purchase at Bayo gives me hope! You can see it in the photo above, it’s the oversize suede tote with the…

Farewell, vacation Sad but true but it’s time to wrap our heads around the thought that it’ll be back to reality tomorrow. Back to the daily grind and back to business! I, on the other hand, am very excited. Sunday ootd Never in my life did I imagine myself to wear anything baby pink, to be honest. I found this color so feminine when I’m actually the opposite but when I saw this dress, I didn’t think twice about wearing it! skin by YSA Skin and Body Experts I’m happier that my need to wear make-up is getting less. As I mentioned in my previous posts, I’m currently fighting a long and hard battle with acne. No kidding – the struggle is real! My skin is very prone to acne so I’m happy to have it treated at YSA! Pa-girl for a day You’re probably thinking, “oh noo – back to work!” well, I’ll give you a few reasons to smile about. Let’s go! Tyler cotton candy wrap dress | Forever 21 white heels There are a lot of reasons to be happy this week. One, since it’s work week again, I’ll have a lot of emails to check. Haha!…

A World Without Strangers I’ve always been fascinated with street style photography – coming up to a total stranger and asking if you can snap their photo. I follow a lot actually, The Sartorialist, Humans of New York, etc. Lately, a came across a very interesting one – a photographer who solely focuses on Asians.  Asian beauty I’d have to say that its our colonial mentality that makes us want to be so western. All the whitening product ads, wanting a sharper nose, lighter hair color, bigger eyes – when in truth, I believe Asians are beautiful as they are.  Shoot with @asian_impressions Today, meeting and shooting with this streetstyle photographer strengthened my theory. Us Asians girls are beautiful! 😉 Proud Race jacket | Zara maxi | Tres Shoes wedges I was thinking, “How does this work?” I mean aside from the obvious fact that these photographers go around and spot stylish people on the street aka “streetstyle”, they probably also plan some shoots, right? Shot by Teban of @asian_impressions It all started when my fellow blogger Dez Lim (@dezadrienne on Instagram) shared her excitement to shoot with the popular streetstyle photographer, Teban. I got excited and asked if I…

Yuki Tansengco For some reason, I have this odd habit of attempting to shop in the kids section. Why? Why NOT!? 😀 A lot of brands now are coming up with stylish lines in kids apparel! It’s really the age of fashown kids. Chill day Nothing feels better than trading in your heels for sneakers, tight jeans for loose shorts and a comfy cotton shirt. I think these will be my staples from now on! A sneakers and shirt thing. If the shorts fit – why not? You’ll never guess where I bought these eyelet shorts. Hihi :> Bensimon Tennis Elly shoes I was never a sneaker-person until I had my first pair of Bennies! (then my 2nd, 3rd, etc.) These shoes literally go with anything! Leggings, a skirt, pair of shorts – you name it. I dont mind getting dirt on them, too! Hair by Blo Blow Dry Bar I came from a photo shoot so I had my hair done at Blo. It’s really one of my favorite pamper places. I used to get my hair done around Php1000-Php1500 per event but with Blo around, I get these VS curls for only Php500! Call 09176BLODRY to book a…
