Casual Saturdays

Yesterday was a shopping saturday for me, even though I needed to go to shop the whole day, it did not stop me to be excited to go to the shoe sale in NBC tent. After an hour of looking around the whole venue of I'm a Shoe Lover sale event by the LIST Group, I saw a pair of yellow wedges that I just can't get enough of. Satisfied, I left the shoe bazaar happy. I wore this shimmer long sleeves top paired with red hot shorts for a statement piece. Then I added black accessories to add strong colors to the red and white shades. And because I was going to a shoe sale, I needed to wear comfy flats for me to run around quick and spot the shoes that I want.

Playboy Bunny

Fall Winter 2012 trends are fast approaching. Black leather, metallics, and masculine shapes... It's a season to celebrate the power of women. Since it is officially June, start of rainy season in the Philippines, I started updating my wardrobe and lookbook with Fall Winter trends, and put out my black leather vest and metallic shorts in front. 

I feel this outfit as Lady Gaga-ish, with black ensemble and the metallic silver neck piece. Also a bit Tomb Raider-ish, and put on a braid Lara Croft number on my hair do. I did it myself. This is my current obsession. I have realized that I really suck at fixing my hair for events or dates or just hanging out with friends, and I am now trying and experimenting hairstyles that I could do easily. I did this by putting all my hair on the left side of my shoulders, then divided my hair into three sections. Then, criss-crossed the three sections to form a braid. Finally, I put on some braided hair ties from Goody, and hair pins to keep my loose hair in place. 

I matched a silver neck piece to my studded black dress which was used as a top. Then I put on some rings to complete my look.

Honestly, I failed the "woman-on-top" look that I was trying to achieve in this outfit because I was on the rush in the morning. I forgot to wear pumps instead of these silver metallic flats. Oh boy, the next time I will try to plan my outfit, including shoes, the night before. Hehe!

Dress Code

I went to attend a wedding with some friends on this day. Since the dress code was formal, I went for something that is respectable, decent, and properly dressed for the affair.

When attending an event lcalls for dressing up, I usually dress and use colors accordingly. I go for white, nude, gold, brown, or other neutral/earth colors when attending weddings. I would not use bright colors, or neons, or other solid dark shades because I do not intent to stand out in the crowd and get all the attention from the guests. The marrying couple, especially the bride, should be the apple of the eye.

I fell in love with this gold lace dress I found in Hong Kong. It is from my favorite shop in Kennedy Town, called Momo House. According to the owner, this dress is especially imported from Korea. The shop only imports one stock per kind of clothing, which means that only one can wear one design. Who demanded for exclusivity?

I went for this dress because it gives coverage to the upper side of my body, yet still gives sexiness because of its short hemline. I super love the hemline! I love the geometric ends of the dress from the sleeves and the hemline, because that design exudes fun, up-to-date fashion sense, and elegance.

I paired this dress with a gold studded clutch, which I think matches with the outfit perfectly. Although the dress and the clutch have different textures and shapes, they somehow contrast and match the outfit at the same time.

I used gold and crystal accessories to complement my look.

Super love these shoes from Stella Luna because they obviously match the gold studded bag, and at the same time are very comfortable! I stood and walked in these from 3 PM to 10 PM and did not even feel a bit of plain. Even the edges of the shoes are smooth. Plus, the "sexy back" that the shoes give is a plus!
