NO GREY AREAS

The power of black pointed stilettos - no matter how simple the outfit is, a pair of such goodies will instantly transform you into your fiercest femme fatale ego. Maybe because it's pointed and black... it's provocative? 

I rarely prefer simple basics such as these, but they're definitely a go-to outfit, especially these sweat pants! Who knew they'd be so fashion forward?! Plus, they're the comfiest! I love how after a day full of errands, you can just immediately throw off your shoes and jump into bed in these oh so fluffy leg wrappers (Yup, I made that up). 

This was taken in Power Plant's parking lot by my sister, Tricia. So so love how the backdrop goes with the whole outfit - lots of grey areas there! Hehehe! It was kind of awkward how these photos were taken since a lot of cars were passing by; I think some of them were eyeing this spot but then when they see us there, they would stop for a while then drive away again. We'd be just standing there waiting for them to tell us to get off so they can park, but then seeing that they'd go, we'd continue shooting. So yeah, it was a bit of an on-and-off shoot. Nevertheless, we were able to take awesome photos!!!

LAST OF THEM

Yup, it's the last of my Japan outfits finally! This last day was a total last minute outfit plan - just my mom's coat. I was supposed to wear something else but it was too cold already, I just couldn't. But still, that didn't stop me from baring skin hehehe! 

What I love about out of the country trips is being able to dress up differently from your usual. I can't wear this in the Philippines - I'll surely die of heat stroke from the inside of my coat! I love how simple the pieces are but together, it's a powerful boom!!! Dark colors always convey strength in the eyes of the beholder hahaha!

BLANK CANVASS

BACKLOG OVERLOOOOAAADDD!!! 

You know, medicine school, you get it. 

This outfit is one of the comfiest I've worn. I'm telling you the heels from Charles & Keith themselves are the comfiest heels I've ever had in my life. I love the simple shirt and pants combo and the 'hair away from my face' look. Throughout the day, I was far away from my typical struggles of pulling my shirt down cause it's too short or constantly brushing my hair with my fingers so it stays in place or looking for a place to put down my hand bag just for 10 seconds to allow rest for my forearm. But but but!!! Despite the comfort and simplicity, you have to admit it looks stylish and trendy still! 

Factors? 

1. The sleek bun which are seen all over the runways

2. The cleanliness of the color white and the strategic positions of the color black, which gives the ensemble its image of power and strength

3. The minutes of red which completes the whole bland outfit

White and red or black and red will always be a great combo, remember that! So when in doubt, you know what to look for. If you don't have any red accessories... red lips will be your best friend!!!

WALKING IN A MONOTONE WORLD

[The last photo] Oh you know, just not concentrating while taking my outfit shots... 

If you have seen my instagram images, you'd know that this was the ensemble I wore on our very first day in Taipei!!! And I will be blogging about our trip soooooon! 

To establish contrast from the colorful backdrop of Taipei, I decided to don a full black and white outfit. What I really love about it is the polished and cohesive look. It could pass off in the office, don't you agree? Just not sure about the knee-length socks though; but if your buddies with the boss (or if you ARE the boss), then no problemo! As what I have observed, a pair of knee-high socks adds length to one's figure; and, I guess, most people would want an inch or so added to their height, so I dare you... You'll look taller, at the same time, confident and fab!!! 

Also, try to look for dresses like this from Forever 21, it adds curves to any type of body because of the black coca-cola shaped panels. It gives the illusion of a exaggerated feminine body - which is definitely the summit of sexy! 

Plus plus plus, what I can declare as my greatest bargain yet are these combat booties I bought in Ximending just beside our hotel!!! Guess how much? FIVE-HUNDRED PESOS (say 12-13 dollars?)!!! Talk about fabuloooooouuuuusssssss! :"> Btw, you will be seeing more of these boots in this blog because these are the shoes I wore for the 3-4 days I stayed in Taiwan. You can't blame me - I was super excited!!!

PhFW S/S 2013: LEE COOPER JEANS

Well hey hey! It's fashion week again! This is actually a very special season for me because first, this is my first ever fashion week! And second, I was frustrated that I was not able to go last season, though I had the tickets, and so I was desperate to get in this time! The life of a social climber. Hahaha!

FASHION IS YOURS. 

 The best thing about fashion is that there are no limits. It serves as a platform to express one's self through the colors and patterns, the kind of fabric, the strategic cuts all over the ensemble, or even how the clothing wraps around your body. One does not need to be trendy to be fashionable, whatever you are wearing you  just have to own it! Don't let the outfit wear you! Cause at the end of the day, fashion would be nothing if it weren't for the person wearing the clothing. 

The first show I watched was by Lee Cooper Philippines! I have written about Lee Cooper before when I attended their launch HERE. 

Cause I only brought my phone with me, I just grabbed photos from the net to show you some of the clothing the brand showcased. :)

The show was opened by the Philippine All Stars rolling down the runway! 

Celebrities like Bamboo, Kris Lawrence, Rachel Alejandro, and a lot more rocked the show when they performed some well known 80s to 90s songs as the models strutted!

THOSE SHORTS!!! 

This was definitely my favorite out of the bunch! Have to get my hands on those socks!!! 

There were other celebrities who walked for this UK brand, but the finale was the lovely couple: Divine Lee and Victor Basa. 

Soooooo, next up! What I wore to the show! 

I must say that I did live up to the brand's pride: the UK flag! 

SEE HOW MY TOP AND BAG PERFECTLY MATCHES!!!

Forgive me, I was channeling my inner rock star! Haha! 

I was inspired by the brand's rock glam theme during the launch so I came up with this! I love how my outfit screams LEE COOPER!!! The jacket definitely gave this outfit the edge and the liquid pants fulfilled my rock glam mission!  

Top, necklace, and circular rings: Forever21 | Pants: Cotton On | Jacket: Karimadon | Bag: Rebel | Bug ring: Yhansy | Wedges: Primadonna
