Chiffon and Pink Cotton is Sweet

September 23, 2011
Friday, Espalanade, SG

Pink is not in my list of favorite colors, nor girly and sweet is not my style. I am always in dark colors. Black, preferably, is my favorite color along with fiery red and passionate purple. Urban and sexy is my style. And because I'm in the corporate world, I am required to dress in a corporate manner, thus pencil skirts and tulip dresses found their way in my closet. I always try to inject a fashionable and chic appeal in the way I dress even if I am at work. And for this particular post, since I will be doing a lot of walking, I decided to dress up in an easy manner.

I decided to leave the top tucked out of the pink ruched skirt to give it a more lazy and easy feel. I just put on my flats and off I go. Sometimes, it's fun to dress down especially on lazy days or on those days that you know you'll need to do a lot of roaming around.  Well, this day is one of those days.

I had my hair cut before I left Manila. Rachel Zoe was my peg since I was reading her book that day and thought that long hair with soft layers is the look I wanna go for. This hair style is such an easy do to don. You can just let your hair down and air dry it or you may want to put it up in a messy chignon which is very Kate Moss kind of sexy.

Pink is Sexy!

Last Wednesday night, my friends and I went out for another night out at Republiq. I haven't gone out for a month so I was super excited to drink and dance the night away with my girls.  Here's what I wore:

Top from TopPicks Couture, skirt from Zoo Shop, shoes from Zara, bag from Dorothy Perkins

At Resorts World Manila

With my new friend, Rawlin. I met her the night we took this photo

I decided to wear the sheer black top and pink ruched skirt (the same top and skirt that was featured in my blog last Sunday).  I put my hair up in a bun all day then I just let it all down come nighttime, put some curling wax and voila instant wavy hair!

Rawlin and I

Rawlin, me, and Vhaya. I loooove partying with these girls. :D

With Em and Sherrie. Love the leopard print top girl! :)

We capped the night off with an early breakfast at McDonald's, sharing stories, and taking more photos.  This is simply one of the best things in life - spending some fun time with friends. God, I love being single. :)

Mid-July Purchases

I was browsing through Preview July issue and several things caught my attention.  Fashion inspirations draw from every page, now I can't help but share these with you. But before that, I wanna share with you first the recent puchases I made. Sis is too busy to take photos of me wearing these so I might as well take the photo of it myself (minus me. Lol.)

the garden makes for a great summer backdrop. :)

Printed skirt and sheer top from TopPicks Couture

Topmost photo from right: Bondage skirt and black sheer top, both from TopPicks, a really dark, skinny pair of jeans from Bench, and a pink ruched skirt from Zoo Shop. I will publish an outfit post wearing these really soon. Last Friday, before going home from work, I dropped by at Dorothy Perkins since a SALE is posted in front of their store. I'm a sucker for sale, really!

Dorothy Perkins huge clutch in soft black leather

I got this really nice clutch at half the price! I loooove sale! I literally went crazy at Dorothy Perkins shop, there are nice dresses (but sadly, the dresses I like don't have my size), clutches, and flowy tops. It's heaven for me!

Summer and Zoo

Follow my blog with bloglovin

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!

Gila ruched knot skirt

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!
