Yuki Tansengco Surely trends and colorful pieces are always fun to wear but there are some days that I just really want to be very… basic. These are the days I just want to curl into something comfortable but equally presentable. So here are 4 basic pieces that MUST be in your wardrobe! Back To Basics This point is to remind ourselves once in a while to always make sure we invest in key pieces, and less on trendy ones cos we’ll be wearing it year, after year, after year. 4 Key Pieces To Have In Your Wardrobe So with that being said, here are my 4 MUST HAVE key pieces in my wardrobe.  Black pointed heels (no platform) | Forever 21 Number one, invest in a good pair of black pointy heels. You’ll be needing this for meetings, parties and it’ll instantly dress up any outfit. I opted for one with no platform for a classic touch and keep the heel 3 inches tall. Crisp white button down | Topman Step out of your comfort zone and check out the men’s section once in awhile – you’ll be surprised with what you’ll find! I personally love men shirts more…

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…

High Slit, High Hopes Ever since that day Kendall Jener wore that double-slit to the MMVA’s, I will not be surprised with the next celebrity who’ll wear something that will leave little to the imagination. Haha! Ahm Rihanna’s dress last time Yuki Tansengco But slits can be fun! You can place ‘em in the most unexpected places just like this “Jamie” top from Teena Sabrina. Coincidentally, my jeans too! in Two Parkade, BGC I wore this outfit to an event which you can read about here. Probably the last person but it’s my first time to check out Two Parkade. I love it!

Not So Mellow Yellow Another outfit that belongs to my “Business in the Front; Party in the Back” series: this ATL Low Back Dress! Because of it, I am now a complete fan of rectangular dresses!

W.E. Garage maxi dress There are times that our outfits can reflect two things: Business in the front and a party in the back! This is exactly how to describe this maxi dress.  Unexpected cut-outs I’m a fan of cut-outs but to some extent, I still want it to look conservative. Does that make sense? Conservative cut-outs, yeah?    Yuki Tansengco So, are you ready to join the party? 😉 Haha let’s go!  W.E. Garage “Nicole” maxi dress | Php1200 I named this dress after my best friend, Nicole!

Beachy Waves 101 Truth be told, my hair is not one to cooperate with hairstyles. I’m the type of girl who spends almost an hour in a salon chair – only to find out my curls disappear in 30 minutes until I discovered a secret! Classic denim and leopard With great hair is a simple outfit. I’ve always been laid back in my style and to be honest, I love to live in button downs and all things animal print. Yuki Tansengco When you go for a simple outfit such as a denim polo and white shorts, don’t be afraid to add a touch of color! I love these bright red flats from Tres shoes! Thank you Kash and Mela! Loose, Beach-y Waves And now, here is the mane attraction: how to keep ‘em curls the whole day!

Yuki Tansengco I don’t know if it’s just me but I always get the feeling that it feels warmer whenever I wear darker colors. Hmmm – is that true? If that’s the case, I’d wear pastels any day! Hair by Blo Blow Dry Bar I’d like to share with you my latest addiction: getting my hair done by Blo! Blo Blow Dry Bar offers hairstyling services at an affordable price! They have expanded into 4 branches all over Metro Manila! Warm eyes and bold lips And of course, good hair needs to be matched with lovely make-up! Guess who did mine? 😉 Marni top | Plains and Prints trousers | Debenhams pointed heels If there is one clothing staple that you must have: it’s a good pair of trousers. Once you find the best fitting pair, don’t think twice and buy it in neutral colors.  Ferragamo | Vera 2-Way Handbag It also doesn’t hurt to invest in a signature handbag. Believe me, ladies, these are investments and not expenses. You’ll use it for many years instead of buying a fancy bag that’ll you’d want to dispose in a month.
