Braids, sheers, embros

The moment I saw Valentino SS 2012 last year, I've been silently wishing to try those romantic crown braids. Just been hanging around for the perfect occasion. Attempted these braids for a summer ad with the brand I was working for back then. Haha Here I am in a white sheer dress with braided locks for a good friend's wedding at Shangrila, Boracay. The lightness and airiness of the dress spelled beach wedding. Thanks to Bangz, who dropped by our hotel to give me a hand. After Bangz effortlessly maneuvered my braids, I tied my loose strands into a no-fuss low bun. Braids, polka dot sheer, not to mention-- white, puzzled in together the quintessential romantic look I was trying to aim for. Stepped into comfy wedge shoes. Wedge shoes are my most trusted armor in parties along shores. We don't want to sink our stilletos into those loose sands. Either wedges or dear slippers, any footwear with full soles. Whala! Capped off with red lips for a tinge of drama-- nah, just really wanted to work some color to this nearly white canvass :p

Forever 21- fringe earrings (I like to call them robot earrings :p Am I the only one who sees the semblance?!)


Sharing photos of my favorite part of the wedding! Raiding the snack bar!

Snack Bar in scrabble-inspired print. As if we'd miss those candies with all them colors and saccharine glory!



Y- ayo


F- aye


Orange Swits! Nostalgic of good 'ol days.  


Happy newly- couple! Yayo & Faye! By far, best wedding of the year! Love you, guys! 


Going back to some shots of my dress for the event. Haha

sheer mint

Best wishes to my friend Maybz, and her new hubby, Daniel. It was a beautiful wedding last June 10 at San Agustin Church,Intramuros Manila, followed by luscious reception at the Manila Pen.
Here's what I wore to this dear wedding banquet. Took some snaps at Intramuros. Cobblestones, intricate wood arhitecture, brightly colored windows spelled nostalgic Manila.

a new leaf

 

Here's to my first blog! Finally, after semi-blogging for nearly a year in lb.nu! For my first post, I decided to have fun with pastel!



Forever 21- mint sheer top, blue lace shorts


Best thing about pastels, because they're unabashingly sweet and compromising by nature, you can combine color palettes easily. For this look, I went for a sheer mint top and soft blue lace shorts. I love the floral embroidery of the top. Reminded me of lazy daisies back in grade school. Ffor my hair, pulled a sock-bun (thanks to my sissy Charm for showing me how :) ), slid in a pair of round sunnies and whala, pastels in the 50's!

Folded & Hung- black round sunnies


To transform this tamed ensemble to take off with flaire, I opted to accessorize with gold metals and non-conformist hardware. Finished off with nude pumps. Key when playing with colors, choose 1 color to cement your whole look together.
