Mood dressing. My style basically depends on my mood, and of course, I also take into consideration the place where would I go, or event I would be in. Most of the times, I would go girly and wear cute dresses that would surely be a head-turner. Sometimes I prefer wearing black and keep my outfit plain and simple, yet fashionable. Whatever I wear, I make sure that it would make me bloom with confidence and emit a positive aura.
My shopping haunts. Topshop, Forever21, Bazaars, Online shops, The ramp, Landmark, Accessorize, Robinson, SM.
Style icons. Melody Tan, Willa Ong, Coco Rocha, Kate Moss, The Olsens.
Style influential. My personality, friends, people I hang out with, models, online blogs and magazines, especially Candy mag.
Color in my closet. More on Neutrals.
Choice bling. Necklaces, Bags that can carry all my stuffs, and comfy flats and high heels
I won't ever wear. Jeans + slippers together
A trend I'd like to reappear. I prefer the style of the '50s and '70s. I love the pairs of high-waisted skirts and shorts together with corsets and a blazer. The loud prints on semi-shirts are also good.
Best bargain buy. Floral high wasted skirt that i got for only P50 from a thrift store.
From my mom. A vintage LV purse that she gave to me.

A Brand-New Batch Of Candy Cuties

5 in 5: Tricia Gosingtian

What are new things you're interested to try? "I want to learn how to cook, how to drive, and I also want to try exercising for a change. I'm really bad at sports and all these physical activities. It's one way to be healthy."
What is your advice to aspiring bloggers? "Don't be afraid to do whatever you want. Don't listen to people who try to bring you down. And if you're really passionate about something, go for it without any hesitation."
What's your no-fail happy thought? "My travels with my family. Also all the opportunities I got last year. From my media trips and everything. I got to meet a lot of people abroad. Even though I came out of nowhere. I would just tweet them, 'Hello, can we meet?' and in the end, we would produce all these amazing blog entries and spend so much fun times together."
What's the sweetest compliment you've ever received? "It was from someone who told me that ever since she followed my work in grade school, she's been taking almost the same steps that I took to get where I am now. Because her ultimate goal would be just to be like me. It's so overwhelming because back then, I had no idea that I would become this way. And this girl passionately follows my work and my lifestyle and she just wants to be me in a way."
Who are your celebrity crushes? "Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries and Johnny Depp."
