OOTD: Sun and Earth...

I am back. After neglecting this blog for almost 6 months, I got motivated by my hubby to revive this blog. It's been ages and realization hit me that I really cannot just leave blogging. It's been my way of documenting my addiction to make-up and stuffs. Oh, before I go on with this post, I hope everyone had a joyous Christmas.

My hubby said that he's in the mood to take more challenging shots. Of course, I am always there to support his hobby as he is to my addiction. I gladly agree that we should do it on holiday. The thinking of another outfit shot somewhere never fail to give me joy. A few days back, we headed North to spend the holiday with my family. Before Christmas Eve, we scanned for a place to do the practice shooting near my Mom's house. 

     

                          

We chose to do it in this big vacant lot but with piles of gravel, soil and clefts of rock. There was an ongoing construction of Robinsons Store from afar. We waited for the sun to go down at around 4:45 p.m. My hubby said that the sunset has something to do with what he's experimenting. 

As for the post title, I can't think of any but just got idea from what we saw in the place. The sunset, blue sky, gravel, soil, grass and rock made up the title.

Did I mention that the place was just along the side of the road? When hubby started clicking and directing, we got attention from some passers. Some stopped by and stared. Then I realized I wasn't in the Metro. What we're doing along side was totally unusual to them. I started to move uncomfortably. I noticed also that hubby cannot concentrate because of the annoying stares they've thrown on us. So, after taking enough quick shots, we immediately got back to our car and went home to my Mom's.

Advance Happy New Year to all!

Ways To Wear A Basic White Top

Advance Happy New Year to all!

Why that is every New Year comes, aside from doing a general cleaning; I always find myself working very hard in cleaning out my closet? Is it just me or you do, too?

Okay, so there was one afternoon when I opened my closet and some pile of clothes fell down. I think I have lot of stuffs or maybe our closet is just literally small to make all our stuffs fit in. Hmm...

I selected clothes that I hardly wear (circa 2-3 years ago) and put it in other container for disposal. My siblings and my one & only niece will benefit from those and some are reserved as giveaway for my friends. While as I was doing segregation, something popped on my mind when I saw one - a basic white top. Do you know that a white basic top or a blouse or a dress is a must in your closet? I love whites! 

Rumor Has It by PeopleArePeople

If you wonder why the photo has still a tag, well, I took this photo as soon as I got home when I bought it for future blog purposes and speaking of it - just like today's post. 

I bought this white sleeveless last October 2011 before we went to Mindanao. I know that the weather in my hometown is always hot and humid all-year round and a basic white sleeveless would be perfect when we do a stroll. A white clothes tends to bounce back the sun's heat and it absorbs less heat than of any colors of clothes. To stress this out, avoid black tees when you know that you're going to spend more time under the sun because a black clothes absorbs more heat.

Moving on, basic whites (top or bottom) are easy to style with and is versatile to pair or to layer with. Avoid whites if you know you're a little bit bloated because it will make you look even bigger. In my case, I'm in denial, so please just let me wear it. Lol. So, after a much hard-work of compiling the clothes that need some loving and clothes that need some care in the hand of others (friends and my siblings), I came up with this post of styling my favorite basic white sleeveless. 

Office Outfit No.1

If I am still reporting to an office on weekdays, I would definitely wear this white top with a trouser. Always remember, if your top is fitted then pair it with loose bottom. And if your bottom is fitted, then your top should be a bit loose.

Of course, a blazer would complete this look for a modest finished. I wear it with a tiny Brown belt and a very dark brown high heels.

Office Outfit No.2

It is white and very, very basic. As I've mentioned earlier, this basic top I have is a combination of a blouse and a dress. If you are fond of wearing dress in reporting to office, this is just perfect for a corporate look but still looking chic and sexy.

It is stretchable, so I just pulled it down to make it longer. Wear it with just a tiny belt to make you look taller and it gives the illusion of long legs. 

Try it with a scarf! Remember, less is beautiful. Don't accessorize much. Just add a watch and a pair of bracelets would do. Don't forget the blazer to keep the modest look when needed like for a meeting.

Office Outfit No.3

Back in the day, I always have a denim blazer when I work because our air-con unit in the office cool down the place very quickly and later on very, very cold. Brrrrr!!! Denim is a thick fabric so it's just perfect for layering and fights the cold temperature.

I changed my high heels to a wedge shoes to fit with my denim blazer. Denims can make you look tough so I guess the wedge shoes can balance your look than of the stiletto high heels. Agree?

Wedge shoes: KEDS

Belt: Forever 21 & SM Acessories

Necklace: Tiangge

A Dinner Date/ Party Outfit

After a long day of work or a long week, a dinner date awaits with your girlfriends, boyfriend or your husband. Sometimes you and your office mates would like to hang-out in a club or a party. You can actually wear the same outfit provided you have prepared a clutch bag or a hand bag.

Since the fabric is stretchable, I pulled the bottom up for a sexier cut. I paired it with a stiletto shoes with a black and bronze/ gold design to match with my feathered clutch bag.

Outfit Details:

Shoes: Janeo

Necklace: Tiangge

Clutch bag: CMG

A Common Outfit

After getting off from work or just a common day like weekend, use the basic white to a simple date or a simple stroll in the mall with your loved one (a boyfriend or a hubby). In my case, I love wearing mini-skirts or shorts.

I pulled up the dress and fold the edge in my hip area.

Shoes: KEDS

Necklace: Tiangge

Belt: Babo

Hand bag: XOXO

Fyi, my hubby was the one who take all the shots happened in our roof deck. He directed all my poses. Okay, that are my ways to wear a basic top. How about you? Do you have a basic white tee? How do you style it? Care to share? I hope you find this post helpful.

Cold Weather Outfits

I want to share the outfits I wore from our recent trip to the City of Pines and our country's Summer Capital - Baguio City. Yes, I've been to Baguio for the fifth (5th) time. I considered this trip very memorable because aside from it was our first time to went there at rainy season, there was also a typhoon (click here for my Baguio trip). Our previous trips were always been between the months of April to May. During summertime, Baguio City is jam-packed with a lot of tourists because it's the only place in the country where you can still chill even the sun is at its intense.

Its rainy season and I expected that it will be colder than usual. I admit, I under estimated it. I could have brought maong pants instead. But anyway, it doesn't mean that I went to Baguio being under dressed. I have brought with me the essentials to protect me from the cold weather. I love going to Baguio. Not only because of the cold weather it offers but also because of the great opportunity for me to wear "winter" outfits.

Day 1 - On our first night, we experienced occasional drizzles only. I tried hard to manage the chilly breeze.

Day 2 - We went to Burnham Park as early as 5:00 a.m. I know it was colder at dawn but I didn't expect it was at most during our stay. Upon checking the weather, it was 15 degrees Celsius during that time. My supposed one tights only became doubled.

Day 2 - On our second night, we dined at Nevada Square.

Tights: Forever 21 - Net (Black)

Day 3 - We decided to go back to Manila during the time that Typhoon Pedring was also on its way to Baguio. God is good. We safely reached down in Pangasinan.

Jacket: Vintage

Inner: Forever 21 - knitted (Black)

Scarf: Vintage

Tights: Forever 21 - net (Maroon)

Boots: Vintage

Before I forgot, the cap that I've been wearing the whole time when I was in Baguio is from Babo. I always wear it because when I was in Baguio, it drizzles almost all the time. All my outfits did a great job to keep me warm. 

Much love,
