RED

PLAYFUL. The best word to describe such ensemble. Don't you just love it?? Cause I'm completely head over heels! Probably my favorite out of all my Japan outfits! The red socks from Closet Projx is to die for! It was the cherry on top - I didn't even know I'd actually be able to work out something. This was my focal point cause I bought it especially for Japan. I was actually scared of what the outcome might be, cause that piece of clothing is really not something to mess with. It is easy to go wrong with those bold socks. Whew! Cheers to the stylist in me. Haha! Also, I have to thank my sister for the white sneakers from Bershka I didn't think she'd let me borrow cause it was just sooooo... white. (I never allow her to use any white thing from me btw)  So thanks sistaaar, Tricia Atienza! You can find her on instagram @triciaatienza. 

You can follow me too! @lykaatienzaaa Hihi! 

Btw, maybe you noticed the minimal number of pictures? It's because my dad was taking them. Love my dad for having to kneel down on one knee and follow my every demand for outfit photos. Hahaha! He was tired by the end of the trip cause of this. Thanks dad!!!

COME AND PLAY

This was what I wore when I went to Tokyo Disney Sea on our 3rd day in Japaaaan!!! I just love how the shirt speaks what my mind was screaming the whole time I was in this magical place!!! It was the perfect dress to wear but I tell you I was freezing!!! We went to Disney Sea while a storm was in Tokyo (I know, brave souls right?) and gosh, I wasn't prepared! Good thing my mom had an extra coat I could wear to keep me warm! Buuut! Since it didn't really suit the whole outfit, hence, it was removed. And again, because of the storm, outfit photos were taken indoors. The background is a door in one of the restaurants in the Arabian Coast (you can say it's Aladdin and Jasmine's territory) Yes, that is why it's gold and has that geometric aesthetic. I tell you Disney Sea is a beauty!!! It's similar to Disney land but it's also different in many ways. I don't exactly know how to describe it but the fact is both attractions gave me chills! In Filipino, sooooo kilig!!! 

Anyhoo, as you can see, the knee socks and black booties combo are back!!! You can't blame me, I only do it out of the country since we have a different aesthetic in the Philippines, so whisk away! I'm warning you, it will be back again. Hehe! The collar is just something I added to keep the ensemble looking smart amidst the playfulness of it all. And finally, a ponytail... which was actually due to the requirements of the weather. Stormy or sunny, I tell you, the experience is totally worth it!!! Can't wait to blog about the trip soooooon!!!

BRAZEN AND BARE

The weather app on my phone says we are currently experiencing 31 degress of heat in Manila; and as I scroll down to check the temperature of the coming days... to my horror, each day is just going to get hotter and hotter!!! Oh summer, I love you but I think you have to take it cool. 

What better way is there to celebrate summer (and to compensate for the boiling heat) than wearing your hat of brazen and baring your sun-kissed skin! Summer is the time to be adventurous - challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone! Say highlighting your hair with flashing hot pink, or donning an ocean blue lip, or it could be as simple as exposing your tummy for the whole world to see. Hahaha! Life is too short to stay safe all the time. As my dad would always tell me "the brave die young, but the cautious never lived at all". 

The bare tummy has taken home the bacon, don't you think? (noooo, I didn't mean I looked like I ate a pound of bacon, if that's what you're thinking) It has defined the wardrobe. Everything else is simple and sleek, no big accessories or drastic prints needed for someone to notice you in this kind of outfit. You'll look fresh, simple, and most of all, fun! You'd want to be dubbed as fun especially this season. 

So go ahead enjoy summer! Don't be afraid of being brazen and baring out the true-exciting-you!
