Unique Style. I think my style is quite unpredictable. I like being different, I don't wear the usual trends or what's in. I always make a twist of it!
Shopping loves. Thrift shops! I have a thing for secondhand clothing. I find treasure in another man's trash.
Style icons. I have 3 style icons. First, Kryz Uy, because she has a great sense of style and she's super great in mixing and matching pieces. Second, Alyssa Lapid. I love her style so much. She gives fashion a whole new meaning, she can either be a rocker or a hippie or even both! Last but not least I love Lena Fuji from VIVI Magazine.
Influenced. I get style inspiration fromVivi Magazine, Lookbook.nu, and fashion blogs!
In your closet. I have the colors of the rainbow inside my closet!
Accessory loving. I absolutely adore studded bracelets!
No way! I will never wear thigh-high boots. Why were they even invented?
Fashion revamped. Please bring back the '80s and disco feverrrr!
What a steal. All my thrift finds! Especially my Bally oxfords that I got for 50 pesos only! What a steal! Imagine how much a pair actually costs?
Vintage finds. I love everything I purchase from thrift shops!
Trend Alert: Printed Pants
Printed pants are not totally new to the fashion scene, but they've been revamped and revived in this year's hottest print trends. Not only does this style bring fun to any outfit, but it also allows for more self expression when it comes to dressing up!
Leopard, floral, zebra, aztec, stripes, polka dots, and paisley are just a few prints that can add life to your otherwise ordinary pants. Pair it with basic neutrals like black, white, and beige to make it the focus of your outfit. Take a risk and match it with a similar print like going for a floral combo or choose a constrasting print like a striped tee over polka-dot print pants. Make heads turn by wearing bright solid colors with your printed pants. When it comes to accessories, you can also opt to complement the prints by wearing shoes in colors close to the print or use bags in a similar print to play things up! Whatever you choose, just remember to always think of proportions and the overall look. Loose printed pants best go with more body conscious tops and tighter bottoms fair better with oversized shirts.
...Nail Art Tutorials: Blushing Animal Print
All you need are 3 shades of pink polish (your lightest and darkest plus one that's in between) and a dotting tool. Don't have one? We made our own using an old bobby pin! Follow these easy steps and you'll be rocking a pretty print on your tips in no time.
Start with a base coat.
After letting it dry, start with your light pink polish.
After that's dry, take your dotting tool and place random spots on your nails with the in-between pink shade. Let it dry.
Take your darkest shade of pink and outline the dots in random patterns. You can choose to go all over the spot or just on either side. Get creative!
Let it dry once more before finishing off with a top coat.

One her favorite scene to shoot. Probably the reaping. It was just so strange like really stepping into the book. The costumes put you there, all the extras, Effie and the Peacekeepers. I felt like I had stepped into the actual reaping and I remember thinking I'm actually here! When Effie called "Primrose Everdeen!" and Jennifer volunteered, it was hard not to feel like it was actually happening. Jennifer is so amazing that she pulled me right into the scene. Everything just happened after that. Definitely my favorite scene to shoot. I think the fans are going to love the behind-the-scens features! There's going to be a cool documentary about the making of the film and some great interviews with the cast.
