MY FASHION NOTEBOOK Day 1: MONOCHROME

I am inspired by my favorites Olivia Palermo, Victoria Beckham, the Duchess Kate Middleton to name a few. Olivia Palermo has her 30 styles in 30 days. OK, we aren’t Olivia Palermo who can afford those fancy outfits, that’s why I am recreating a style for less.For today, I am wearing a black and white monochrome from PIMKIE. The black on side give it a sexy curve. If you’ve watched the movie of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah G with Isablle Daza. You’ll see Isabelle Daza wearing the same monogram style.

What’s good about about monochrome dresses? It is simple yet chic. I got this one on sale for €19.99. I paired it with my favorite ANN CHRISTINE white shoes.

SUMMER, DON’T GO! S’IL VOUS PLAIT

Oh summer please don’t go. Coming from tropics you know how much I wanted it to stay. I’m so scared of cold and winter. Though I have to admit that I am wishing more snow on my very first winter experience. One winter know how is enough for me to say that summer is still the best.Imagine life just lying down on the beach with your favorite drink and book. Ahhh that is really paradise.

I know you have read a lot already about summer must haves like sun block which is very important by the way. So, I’m just adding to bring morale to your summer. The truth is most girls got really insecure every summer because of the beach body. The truth is we are not born models. We are always jealous of those perfect magazine bodies we see. Don’t freak out if there’s a will, there’s a way. Just think you are the only person on the beach and you will be by yourself with oh oozing beach body appeal. Just make yourself comfortable no matter what and you will be fine.

Choose the right colors and swim wear and you will be fine. I don’t have a Victoria’s Secret’s model body but I’m always confident with my body. Yes, I don’t have the big front runners (that big boobs) but I have big derriere to compensate. 🙂 We can’t have it all. Who would have thought I can wear a bandeau bikini despite of my body. I dared and be the judge if I got yey or nay!

My green bandeau swimwear is from BENETTON and the BLUE one is from ANN CHRISTINE.

God answered quickly and today my father is out of the hospital and well.I am thankful to God and to my family and friends who prayed for the good health of my father. What makes it more special is today is the birthday of Mama Mary. Happy Birthday Mama Mary and thank you for the intercession and for always guiding us.

ORANGE COURAGE

Choosing colors that will look good on our skin is quiet a difficult task. Some colours may look good for our eyes but other may find it odd. Oh well, we dress for our comfort and what we feel just and reasonable for us.It’s very subtle people indulge in color orange. Yes, it is very strong and looks good only to the chosen few. There are numerous do’s and dont’s fashion style regarding color orange. I always say keep that courange and confidence because everyone deserves all the color they want. Really! it’s how you carry the dress that matters. You can look from a street smart girl to a slutty one if you don’t know how to put on the right materials, colors and style. Ensemble carry your confidence within you and you will be beautiful no matter what. I’ve read before that no man would like to have a woman who has low self-esteem, so let every woman boost with overloading self-esteem!

Be bold and daring. Don’t be afraid to try something new. As you see, I’m not sporting a fair complexion as before. My vacation in the Philippines for two months plus the European summer highlights my bronze color. I am very tan now but I dare to wear floral orange since summer isn’t over yet.

ASSISTANT DOG

 “Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring–it was peace.”
Milan KunderaTo those who really know me, they knew how much my heart occupy space for dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs. My  family can’t live without them which I am thankful to my parents for raising us with animals. Studies says that kids who grew up with dogs at home enjoyed twice or thrice than those who doesn’t have pets. In my case, I can say that it’s true. I really had fun growing up with dogs. I learn to be responsible at a young age taking care of them.
