Summer and Zoo

Getting ready for the rainy season is just as hard for me as welcoming the sunny summer days after the cold breeze of the holidays. I somewhat find transitioning a bit hard but exciting. Now that the end of summer is near, we really have to arm ourselves with the gear for the rainy season.  There's the ubiquitous umbrella to keep us dry from the drizzle, chic cardigans and pashminas to keep us warm, platform boots to stay chic and dry while it's raining, and the huge tote to carry in all the rainy day essentials. But we aren't saying totally goodbye to summer now especially that the sun is at it's extreme power every now and then. For this very reason, I am introducing to you my current obsession: Zoo Shop's summer collection.

Wisteria Leopard Playsuit in Blue

I have this love affair with bondage and loose clothing.  Bondage is extremely sexy as it highlights the feminine curves, whereas loose is very summer as it allows air to come in and lets you breathe. When combined, it makes for a sexy and easy vibe.  I love combining loose tops with tight skirts or short shorts.  It makes an outfit interesting and creates a fabulous combination.

Dahlia Sheer Long Pope Top in ivory

I have this love affair with sheer. I just can't get enough of them! Simply because sheer makes you look sexy even without exposing too much skin or putting on tight clothes.  They are a juxtaposition of conservative and bold.  Conservative in such a way that your whole body is covered and bold because it's sheer.

Primrose ruffle pleated maxi dress in blue

The photos above are the perfect sheer pieces. The leopard print in that sheer blue jumpsuit is perfect for either summer and rainy season.  The long ivory pope top and the polka dots long-sleeved button down are the perfect tops to match a tight short shorts and bondage skirt, they're even perfect with your trusted pair of jeans. The sheer maxi is my favorite! This piece is to-die-for!

Orchid crochet shirt in black and white

I particularly love the Orchid crochet shirt since this can give you a just-got-out-of-bed look, a look that I find so sexy and alluring. I just can't get enough of long and loose tops; tops wherein you can pair with short or tight bottoms.  Either way, you're in for a major sexy treat!

All of the pieces featured above are available at Zoo shop.  You may browse through their wide array of fabulous items at http://zoo.com.ph/main/ the prices are all indicated in the website and the procedures on how to place an order. Have fun shopping!

Sheer + Denim + Platforms = Sexy Urbanite

For the past few weeks, I caught myself daydreaming of sheer tops.  I have a particular design in mind - a black free-size button down with cut outs just below the bra line. I saw this particular top worn by actress Lovi Poe in one of her interviews. I just find it so sexy and classy at the same time. Sexy without going overboard and without showing too much skin.

Wearing denim shorts from Bayo, sheer top from Cole Vintage, Zara platforms, oversized clutch from 50th Ave. and peacock earrings from a thrift shop.

I love how this top makes the wearer sexy, not in a provocative way, but I think it makes such a classy taste. It can take you from the boardroom to the club to the bedroom! If you prefer to wear it in the office, wear a tank top inside. For cocktails with the girls, just toss the tank top, wear your hair up in a bun, change your earrings into a dangling one (for this look, I chose to accentuate my ears with the peacock pair my sister found in a thrift shop), toss the big bag and grab your clutch.

Photo op session at GA Tower elevator and lobby, just before we hit the road for yet another night out.

I just looooove barkada pics! With me are Vhaya, Em, and Tin. On our way to Amber Ultralounge after partying at 7th High

This is my favorite photo of the night. Posing in front of the club. 

I'm always on the lookout for clothes that will flatter my size, my shape, the color of my skin and hair. Since I'm not blessed with the natural height, I always opt to wear platforms to look taller and would normally wear short bottoms (like this super short shorts here) to lengthen my legs. Another tip to look long-legged? Apply body oil all over your legs and watch your gams glow. This is a trick models used to do during a fashion show.

Along the streets of The Fort. This makes for a good backdrop for photos, don't you agree?

Party!

See, the short hemline makes my legs look longer. :)

For makeup, I decided to rock the smokey eye look and pair it with a nude lip. This is my uniform look when I go out at night since I find smokey eyes sexy and alluring.
