Keeping it up with Burgundy

Woah! I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last posted something on my blog, excuse me for hibernating for quite a long time, I haven't had much time to really write something or perhaps I was just caught up all the time from either work and travel but most of my recent events  and fashion inspirations was posted on my Instagram

Don't rely on the clothes you wear!!!

Have you heard of the saying "wear the  clothes, don't let the clothes wear you" basically for my perspective, it's about showing all the confidence in you and don't let the clothes you are wearing outshines you!!! Some might not wear something that are too big and baggy, while others which includes myself goes for something extreme and flamboyant!!! 

In this look, I was able to pull off an over sized trousers from Maison Martin Margiela which was first released on the Spring/Summer of 2001!!!

Details of today's outfit :

Felt Hat : Zara
Over sized Shirt : Junya Watanabe
Over sized Trousers : Maison Martin Margiela

Malaysia for the nth times!!!

I remember going to Malaysia back in 2006 when I was still a Beauty Consultant for Burberry - we held our Beauty conference attended by different Consultants across Middle East, Asia and Europe. It was very memorable for me as It was also my first time to travel in Asia.

This time around, going back to Kuala Lumpur doesn't excite me that much since I have been in this beautiful country for several times but the experience is totally different as I am with my very best friend Twinkle. From Singapore, we just took a coach to KL and it took us only 4 hours ride... It was the longest trip by land for Twinkle as she normally travels by plane in the Philippines but since it's her first time to travel abroad plus we are on a tight budget so having a bus for me is not bad at all...

The first place we visited is the spectacular Batu Caves - a limestone hill that has a series of caves in the Gombak district ,13 km north of KL and you can also see here the tallest statue ever built which is the Murugan - a hindu deity!!!

272 steps up the Cave but this monkey stops me!!!!

Asia's Next Top Model Cycle 2 Photo Shoot location : Wannabe a star???

back to KL Sentral to visit the infamous Petronas Twin Tower 

and voila!!!! Keeping it Cool in Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Tower!! yay!!!

and that completes our one day tour exploring the many wonders of Malaysia - we will definitely come back but it will be on the province side for sure!!! 

Looking forward for my next travel destination... 

Thank you guys for your time  reading my short travel notes, until then

Cheers and Lurv

Asian Invasion

After spending two weeks holiday in Philippines last June 2014, I still have 15 days pending leave for July and the ultimate place to spend it is to a neighboring Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia before embarking into my last stop- the Philippines. You bet!! 2 weeks holiday is surely not enough to explore more than 2 countries

1st Stop - the affluent city of Singapore, where modern skyscraper enticed your eyes. coming from Middle east where the weather is ridiculously hot, Singapore's humidity can drive you mad but for a first time explorer, I can't be bothered. As a budget traveler, it is important that you plan your trip ahead of time - Singapore with a reputation of one of the most expensive countries can ripped off your budget if you don't know the cheap way to discover this place. I booked the cheapest hotel in Bugis street - the city's old Malay district and it is now largely taken by shopping, our hotel is close to the MRT station and the best and cheapest way to explore the city is through  train which is way economical than taking a cab.

strolling around Bugis street (hawkers, cheap-finds and shopping markets)

Marina Bay Sands -The newly opened Gardens by the Bay situated next to Marina Bay Sands integrated resort is a large public garden which house two huge cooled conservatories – the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest as well as a cluster of gigantic Super Trees.

Little India - a piece of India to the northern side of the city core!

Our SG trip would'nt be completed without visiting Universal Studios in Singapore

and for our final day in Singapore, we found the best spot for Couture shoot in one of the modern and futuristic schools called "La Salle" in the heart of the city. 

Our 3 days trip in Singapore is truly a great experience, we were able to discover the highs and lows of the cities regardless of the smoldering weather!!! Please watch out for my upcoming post for my Malaysia stopover!!! 

Thank you for your time and if you want to see more of Singapore's photos, please check out my FB link at http://www.facebook.com/butch.cervantes

Platform Shoes : Vintage Tokyo

And so I'm back in Abu Dhabi. It has been a great holiday experience in the Philippines even for a week - short yet I had an amazing time. I needed this much awaited holiday to diffuse the ever growing stress on my every day life here in UAE. 

One of the many things which I normally do to divert my mind and to keep myself away from the stressful situation is retail therapy and of course writing my fashion blog and sharing about my fashion inspired outfits to you all. I wish I am a better writer but I'm just delighted to share my fashion inspirations to all who follows my blog.

For today's look, I am serving you cool summer outfit from Bershka and totally loving this platform shoes that I bought from Harajuko district in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

What is your summer bucket list? Make it count!!!

On the spot: Construction Site

As you all might have noticed I haven’t been posting much lately. It took me a while to open my blog and doesn't have much time to write due to the reason that I’m working around the clock on a new department. Yes, talking about work.. I finally moved into a new world after working 7 long months handling Beauty and Fragrance!!! I am feeling ecstatic and alive!!!! Yahooo!!!!

As much as I wanted to stay longer in a world of Fragrances and Cosmetics - I have realized, there is much to discover about Travel Retail and when I first knew about having the re-shuffle for the middle management team, I thought about moving into Fashion - which is also my kind of thing but shoot me.. when they finally announced it, up to my surprised - I will be managing Watches and Jewelry team!!! Oh Well, don't get me wrong, I love watches and I have tons of collections from fine watches, vintages, fashion watches and accessories, and from a customer's perspective - I do buy watches because of the designs- the cosmetic appeal it brings to your eyes but when it comes to complications and mechanical function, I honestly say I need to learn more about the functionality.. Now that I am managing this team of well experienced and exceptional watch advocates - I have to make sure that I keep current and equip myself with all the information I needed...

On the lighter side of it - It means that I also have more time to go for my street style photography - I may not update this blog most of the time but you can all see my postings and sightings on my instagram account which I am 24/7 active. Choosing the right locations can be dreadful especially when all you have is a tripod to set up your SLR and I am glad that I found the best spot just beside our building...

Check out my Military inspired outfit below with just the right backdrop and feel free to share your thoughts:) xoxo
