Spain Tourism Board

During the Spain Tourism Board event, one of my dreams came true - to become a model. I was one of the girls who were asked to model for Trucco for the STB event held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

That's me in the huge shades and brown hat
We were all wearing the Spanish labels Trucco and Mango.  I was asked to wear the sheer brown dress and  brown soft leather boots.  I accessorized it with the bug-eyed Charles and Keith shades (this is owned by our stylist of the day, my colleague Joanarc.  She has an impeccable style. I just adore her when I see her rock the mini skirt trend with sheer tops and long necklaces), my own set of bangles, and a Trucco bag.

With me are Joanarc, Lai, Cee-tee, Ei, and Nicole
Hippie, street, chic, and corporate - that's what Trucco is all about
Trucco has been in the fashion radar of most stylish women who just adore street style.  See, their style ranges from street, hippie (which is what I was wearing), chic, and corporate.  They really have amazing pieces.  Mandarin Oriental Hotel was filled with Spanish-culture-related things during the event.  We were in the "Fashion in Spain" category.

It was nice to play mannequin for a day. Thank God for high heels! At least petite girls can experience how it feels like to be tall.  Whoever says height can't be bought haven't gone to Aldo and Zara yet. Haha!

With Joanarc who play stylist for a day :)
And the bonus part is each of us get to keep a Trucco scarf!

Vintage Lovin

There's always this classy and feel-good vibe of wearing vintage.  It's like wearing a piece of history.  Rummaging through my lola, mom, and auntie's closets always scores me a piece or two of amazing pieces.  This time, an aunt's dress found its way into my hands.  I just had it customized to fit my size and customized to my preferred hem length.

The vintage dress from an aunt
I just accessorized it with a scarf from Trucco, platforms from Zara, bag from London, belt from SM Department Store, and a bright lip. I decided not to wear necklace, cocktail ring, or bangles since it will overwhelm the whole look.
The red lip pops out because of the color of the dress.
The bamboo trees make for a great background since it makes the color of the entire outfit pop out. I love that nature is very fashion-friendly.

The scarf is one of the most versatile items in a woman's closet. It can transform into a pashmina to keep you covered and warm, into a cover-up when you're at the beach, into a bag accessory for a fashionable take on the leather essential, or into a turban (just like what I did for this post) to cover your hair from the harmful rays of the sun (or to just look fasyon).
Who would have thought that the once blah dress will look so chic when altered.
I love the versatility of the platforms.  It goes great with a dress, with jeans, with short shorts, or with a skirt.

Dresses instantly make me feel sexy, chic, and confident that's why this is the most used and versatile item in my closet. I just can't get enough of them.
