Blo Blow Dry Bar

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…

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…

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 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…

On sustainable living Just like how vegan food can get pricier compared to fastfood, I often wonder how it’s possible to live sustainably AND affordably? A social enterprise teaches us how to make it possible! Something new for Rags 2 Riches Meet Reese, co-found of Rags 2 Riches (R2R)! Most recently, they launched it’s R2R Living collection and has partnered with SoFA Design Institute to talk about this new partnership.  Yuki Tansengco I love how this brand discussed on how we can bring sustainable design into our very own homes – fashionably and without damaging our pockets.  Bags from Rags 2 Riches (Liz Uy Collection) I’ve always been an avid fan of R2R because of it’s cause and it’s amazing bag designs so when I heard they were going to launch a HOME collection, I was so excited to hear about it! R2R Living So what exactly is R2R Living? Reese Ruiz and the Dean of SoFa, Tobi Guggenheimer, tells us all about it! Vintage dress from mom | Forever 21 strappy heels If I were to decide, I’ll categorize this outfit as “sustainable” fashion. This dress is vintage so I’m still making use of “old” pieces and my bag…

Yuki Tansengco “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” I remember keeping that quote as my wallpaper for the longest time. It’s true, isn’t it? The only way we’ll grow is when we try new things – and that means going beyond our comfort zone. Big Hair, Don’t Care To be honest, I would always play it safe. When it comes to hairstyles, either RAZOR STRAIGHT or VS CURLS. Nothing in between because I felt like other hairstyles wouldn’t be bagay but I tried something different this time! Hair by Blo Blow Dry Bar I walked into Blo Megamall and Anton, our Session Stylist, asked what I wanted. Let’s go to town! Hair by Blo If we are friends, you’d know my hair is always straight. Not because I choose to keep it that way but because it’s really stubborn. No matter how much product I put on to keep the curls, it never stays so this hairstyle left me in awe! Tyler black blazer | DKNY slit skirt | Zara boots Blo Blow Dry Bar has a special way of “cooking” your hair with its magical bloers. Surprisingly, these loose curls lasted ALL day! That’s with sun…
