Name: Ruth De Leon
Age: 16
City: Quezon City
School: University of Santo Tomas
Experimental style. My style is very eccentric. I have no specific style because I am the kind of person who wants to try and experiment with the clothes I have. My style can be girly, grunge, hippie, classy, etc.
Shopping musts. I usually buy clothes online. I also buy from Forever 21, Cotton On, Jellybean, Charlie Apparel, random bazaars, Greenhills, SM and Robinson's Department Stores, and Land Mark.
Style icons. My top three are Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts, and Vanessa Hudgens. I also love the the style of Carrie Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries. In the local scene, I've always adored the styles of Anne Curtis, Patricia Prieto, Bestie Konisis, Cheyser Pedregosa, Raiza Porquiz, Camille Co, and Laureen Uy.
Style influence. My sister, my mom, fashion magazines, the internet, and of course my favorite bloggers.
Inside my closet. My closet is really colorful. There was a time when I was obsessed with neon skirts, shorts, etc. But overall my closet has every color. Nowadays, I've liked sticking to neutral and basic colors when picking pieces because they can go with anything.
Fave accessory. That would be my gold chain necklace. I think that necklace is very classy and chic because it can go with any outfit.
Not wearing. A maxi skirt. I already tried wearing one before but I think I can't pull it of because of my height. I know my body and I know what looks good on me.
Trendy comeback. The 70's genre of fashion. I love how some of my favorite bloggers dress up in that style but I love when they add a touch of their personal style to modify it.
Best bargain. I am not brand conscious that's why my most of my clothes are best bargain buys. Most of my clothes are from my favorite online shops.
Vintage loving. I totally adore my aunt's Chanel belt. She had that belt when she was still a teenager and I'm glad she gave it to me.
Look We Love: Jenny Ong's Paper Bag Clutch
Jenny Ong of Neon Blush does a monochromatic look that's summer appropriate in caramel hues. The star of this look is her unique and super chic paper bag clutch! It's not only totally trendy but fun and practical too! We love how she was able to incorporate this accessory to a very casual yet feminine look, which includes a parka, loose top, high-waist shorts, and stilettos.

7 Fun Ways To Document Your Summer
If you’re all for online presence and effortlessly artsy photos, then Instagram may be the one for you. The creative filters and the no-brainer interface are the perfect match for documenting trips without having to lug around a DSLR or a digital camera (which would take ages for you to transfer to the computer, edit, and then upload). The downside of Instagram, though, is the low-resolution photos. But if it’s all for the purpose of capturing a moment and putting that moment on the Internet, then it would do the job pretty well.
Collecting Mementos
What better way to remember a trip by seeing something that you got from it? Sure, it may look like junk to outsiders, but seeing a memento would be like a cue for your brain to remember the trip itself. It can be anything – that unique necklace you got from a vintage store, a trinket a native of that country gave to you as a gift, or a even a speck of dust you got while walking around the Great Wall of China! (Okay, the last one was a joke.)
Taking Photos
Ride the digital photography wave and start taking wonderful photos of your vacation. Unlike Instagram, which is portable, taking legit photographs would mean toting around a DSLR and having to adjust the aperture and shutter speed in between shots. But all the sweat would be worth it; the fruits of your labor would include a trip well-documented and additional shots for your portfolio!
Blogging About It
Blogging about your trip would be like story telling – there’s writing and, although optional, photography. You would need your own blog account to begin with, so put on your writing cap and start thinking of a cool username to embody what kind of things you would want to put in your blog!
Writing (or Drawing or Pasting) on a Journal
Go old school and write on a good ol’ notebook. Take it to the extra mile by not just putting on words, but pasting everything and anything that could be pasted (the operative word being: everything) – from the Instax photo you took to the penny you found on the sidewalk of Paris. You can even draw in it if you want to!
Making Videos
It may be take a lot of work (and not to mention thousands of bytes from your SD card), but a video of your trip would be fantastic. Start filming your ride on the Ferris wheel, your stroll around Hong Kong, and others and then put it all together in one magnificent video that has epic music to boot. It would be like starring in your own music video.
"Book" It!
Are you the kind of person who never goes on a trip without a book? Record where you’ve been to by adding notes in the book while on the trip itself, like “I feel infinite, yadda yadda…“ while on page 27 of Perks of Being a Wallflower. You could also slip some tickets and pictures in the book to make it extra special.
