Personal style. My style has been influenced mostly by bloggers and fashion magazines. I also always make sure my outfit has a touch of my personality or my current mood for the day.
Shopping faves. Jellybean, Forever21, Tomato, Maldita, Sugarfree, Sabella, and bazaars. For the online shops, I enjoy clicking away and shopping in Bubbles, Threadmanila, Wearelse boutique, and Soul Lifestyle.
Style icon. I just adore so many people for their style. My top favorites are Audrey Hepburn, Mayo Wo, Kookie Buhain, Kryz Uy, Lissa Kahayon, and Tricia Gosingtian
In my closet. My closet is filled with mostly pastel and dark colors. Right now I'm working on incorporating solid candy colored pieces into my wardrobe.
Accessory love. I don't leave the house without a necklace and bangles. They just bring out the oomph factor in a simple outfit.
Not wearing. I always love to explore fashion and try new things. As my mom says, "nasa nagdadala yan," so I really think that it's important to just be proud of what you wear, because it will show off your clothes a lot better!
Trend return. I wish high-waisted jeans that are a little short would come back in style! I would wear them all the time.
Best bargain buy. A brand new ruby red H&M coat that I was able to buy at a thrift store!
Vintage loving. I now have my mom's vintage floral blouse. It was made by my grandmother because she was a dressmaker and I treasure it a lot!
