Simply tailored. My style is very utilitarian, simple, and tailored. Although, I love experimenting on mixing different fabric textures and layering.
Favorite shops. I love shopping at SM Men's Fashion, Oxygen, and Penshoppe.
Style stars. I really admire the style of Alexa Chung and Esther Quek.
Influenced. Menswear! I love how simple and seamless the menswear clothes can be. No hassle and no fuss.
In my closet. My closet is full of the colors brown, black, blue, green. Definitely no shocking pink!
Minimal accessories. I'm not fond of using accessories. I'd rather wear statement clothing pieces.
Never wearing. There's nothing I wouldn't wear. I'd wear anything and I enjoy putting a twist on something very feminine.
Trendy comeback. Actually, we shouldn't call them "comeback" because picking what we wear depends on our personality. We shouldn't let people tell us what we want. If I would want something to have a "comeback," hoping for people to appreciate it more, it would be oversized cozy blazers from the late '80s.
Best bargain. None, as of yet. I always resurrect clothes from my mom's old clothes!

What's your workout routine like? "Boxing. When I do boxing, the first rounds of sparring is hard. I go up to seven rounds and then the speed ball. The toughest is the ab workout!"
Name three things on your bucket list. "To travel to Greece. When I see it in movies, and when I hear about it and see pictures, it's just so beautiful! Plus, the food. I love Greek food so much! I also want to be a world class chef. Even now that I'm in showbiz, I'm still cooking and I'm going to college this September. And to graduate! It's hard if you're a working student like me."
What's the best trip you've ever been on? "It was probably when I was 14 or 15 years old. It was the time when I was doing a show called Star Magic Presents Abt Ur Luv. I was with Empress, AJ, Dino, Chris, my batchmates. We were sent out of the country and they brought us to Singapore and Thailand. It was an 8-day cruise. From that experience that we were on our own without our parents or yayas. It was very different. It was my first time to be independent at such a young age. Empress and I got lost in a mall in Thailand. We were crying because we didn't know where to go! We didn't have our phones with us.Thankfully, we ran into Carla (Humphries) and Victor (Basa)!"
If your life were to be made into a movie, which actress would you like to portray you? "Definitely Rachel McAdams. She's my favorite actress. I love her in The Notebook. She's so versatile. When I watch her, it's like seeing myself in her. I'm a big fan of hers! She's so beautiful and she's so smart."

Look We Love: Chiara Ferragni's Leopard Tuxedo Pants
Tuxedo pants for girls have recently been revamped, with sleeker styles and more non-tradtional materials. The moment we saw The Blonde Salad's Chiara Ferragni's one-of-a-kind leopard print tuxedo pants, we fell madly in love! Not only are her trousers super stylish but she matched it with equally chic items like her mom's vintage blouse, black Louboutin pumps, neon necklace, and gold clutch.
