Fluid by mariel-ds featuring blue jewelry This flowy dress is already stunning on its own, paired with a structured bag the softness of the dress goes well with it. The pop of blue from the layered necklace is also refreshing to the eyes. I also love the lace inspired gold & white bangle, sweet & classy in one. This outfit is extra comfortable because of the flat beaded white sandals.  I hope this inspires your summer outfit, you’ll sure be a stunner :) what do you think? I would love to hear from you! :)

Online Shopping.

Online shopping is sooo hot nowadays, you can purchase accessories, clothes, cosmetics etc. from the web. As for me, I only buy accessories before from Fayeness Shop and Trinkets Station because the owners are Thomasian Accountancy Students and I can meet up with them in our building. Actually, I’m somehow doubtful when it comes to buying clothes online. I’m not sure with the fit, the material, I just have to many concerns, haha. But last week I finally gave in and I bought a top online. The shop I tried and loved is Paradise Treats.

The awesome thing about Paradise Treats is they make their own products so you are rest assured that they are in good quality and free from any damages. Another thing I love about them is they produce in limited stocks which is totally awesome because the probability of bumping into someone wearing exactly the same thing as yours is so minimal. 

White chiffon top from Paradise Treats

I somehow felt kilig when it fit perfectly to me. haha. The fit is usually one of my worries in buying clothes online that’s why it took me a looooong time before I finally gave it a shot. And Pat of Paradise Treats is really nice and helpful in answering all my inquiries, you know I have tons of inquiries. Haha. 

With this great experience I’m pretty sure I’ll buy more clothes online.

Share the online shops you love!

p.s. Have a peaceful & meaningful Holy week everyone O:)

Do you love watching films like me? Well this nail art will perfectly match your love for movies. Another thing is I haven’t watched Hunger Games T.T I KNOOOOOOW I AM SOOOOO LATE but I don’t have any companion. #foreveralone

So to make myself a little bit happy (but I’m not that sad, I’m just sad when it comes to Hunger Games, but I’m still really happy, haha) and feel the movie house vibe I tried to do my own popcorn nails. 

If you want to try it:

Watch the tutorial by cutepolish here.

What nail arts are you rocking this summer? Share loves :)

P.S. The above photo is meant to be blurry because I’m not really good in nail art and my nails look a bit messy, not really good output but I’m still happy with it :)

Flowers from Space by mariel-ds featuring wedding shoes wedges Since summer is here, I made a set using a floral corset. Okay, I know you were thinking that this doesn’t give any summery vibe but I’m still loving it. I believe that the Floral Corset and the Universe Asymmetrical Skirt looks sooo good together. Having the same color palette, the two different prints seem like match made in heaven. And since the garments are already striking I decided to pair it with plain shoes and clutch. Less accessories too for this set. Hope you like it. :) So what do you think about this set? Do you also like print on print? Share your thoughts! :)

My Most Awkward Fashion Era: Pink & Laces by mariel-ds featuring iris jewelry This is just so funny & quirky how much I love pink back then & lace socks. HAHA. There was a time when most of my clothes are in pink from light to fuchsia, I have it, I was in grade school when that craze ate me. HAHA.

Nudes: Subtle & Striking

Yesterday, the high school where I studied held their Junior & Senior’s Promenade in Manila Hotel, seeing all those high school girls so dressed up, and looking glamorous, I thought what would I love to wear if for example college students will have a gathering like theirs and I came up with this post. 
As you will notice my love for nudes & tulle is very obvious and I’m pretty sure this craze won’t end soon. HAHA. The gowns above are all very striking and subtle, they scream elegance & sophistication. They all belong in the same pantone which I loooooove. You know I’m not fair skinned, more like in the middle of fair & dark and nudes complements my skin tone which explains my love for this hue.
Among these three, my top pick is the MARCHESA Gown, the YSL tribute (I’m sooo in love to this design), and the last featured clutch (I’m sorry for not giving the proper credits).
Monique Lhuillier’s is my second favorite what I love about this gown is even though about 3/4s of it is detailed it is still elegant &  it doesn’t look christmas tree-like. Last but obviously not the least is the Valentino, among the three for me this one has the most beautiful silhouette, the cut of this gown is really smart, I believe the upper part of this gown can make you look taller and slimmer.
So there you go, they are my frustrations & how I wish I could afford all of them. haha <3
