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

Keep it Solid with Plaid!!!

Keeping it casual with a plaid pattern top and a jeggings completes my lazy day look!!! and that also reflects how I am feeling today - as I am trying to contemplate on what to write, I just couldn't think of better things to say so I'll keep this article simple - I just want to share to you guys my ideal casual clothing.

Wardrobe Essential : Ft. The Biker Jacket

Biker jacket comes in different forms, either faux or leather - this jacket remains a cool classic. I'm really glad that I'm still able to showcase this wardrobe staple in spite of the unpredictable weather in UAE. 

On the street...The Black Ensemble

From Sartorial to High-Street Minimalism 

Keeping a casual look on the street wearing a well tailored blazer which once again I got from ladies section in H&M and it is super comfy, thanks to its breathable fabric - suitable to an unpredictable weather in UAE, I paired it with a hybrid leather shorts from the same brand. 

All Shades of Khaki

Just another way of showcasing a monochromatic look which steer away from bold and flashy colors/hue which you often see on my posts but this time I experimented my look by pulling out a "terno" from head to toe, combining 2 to 3 pieces of garments from the same colors and fabric. 

Winter Essentials : Ft. the Double Breasted Jacket

Before I finally put this double breasted jacket out of my closet - allow me first to share it to you for the last time. For today's look, I mixed it up with a hybrid leather chinos to pull that minimalist look. At first, I was a bit hesitant to combine these two colors - khaki and black but I believe it turned out well.

What do you think guys?

Wishlist : Take me to Europe

and I'm back sweethearts... It feels like I haven't blog for ages - apologize for not keeping you updated with my latest fashion style, as you may know, I spent more hours posting my daily looks on Instagram especially when I have no time to blog.As usual, I am pretty caught up with work and stuff oh and this will be my first blogpost for 2015

Last week, while browsing through the massive sales in H&M in World Trade Center, Abu Dhabi - I found this awesome over-sized jumper from ladies section and what really attracts me is the orange color which is one of my favorite pigments - it also creates a bold statement for a daytime winter look in the desert.

Taking advantage of Winter in UAE!!!

It's the time of the season where layering is an important element in clothing, you can never go wrong in having a piece of outerwear with you which you can then wear during nighttime as it usually gets a little warmer after that... 

Having been a residence in the desert for more than a decade, I have experienced the hottest temperature averaging from above 38 degrees Celsius which usually occurs during the month of June through September and the cooler season is from Nov. to March which ranges between moderately hot to cold

On average, we experienced longer summer season than winter in UAE so I feel  a sense of relieved every time winter comes- who does not want to retreat from the intense summer heat and year round humidity in the capital?

I'm glad I invested into a durable denim jacket which I actually got from Maison Martin Margiela collaboration with H&M - yes and I am one hell of a lucky guy who actually owns several pieces from that collection!!! sweet!!!!

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

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.
