Summertime Staple Ft. Short Sleeved Shirt

Wearing :

Eye wear : Emporio Armani

Messenger Bag : Gucci

Trench Boots : H&M

October is definitely my favorite month in Abu Dhabi, The temperature is ranging around 25°-30° or more, and in general it is hot but the heat is tender and less humidity which I don't have to worry about wiping my eye glass when I go out. 

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. 

In Celebration of Life and Love

Are you guys ready for  the Hearts day? With barely three days before the Valentines day, I would like to express my happy thoughts and feelings by wearing these colorful sweatshirt from H&M Kids and a Red Chinos from Zara

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. 

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.

Wardrobe Essentials : Featuring the Denim Top

You can never go wrong with denim - I have probably said it a hundred times but having a pair of any denim top in your closet is considerably a great tool in helping you when it comes to your clothing essentials. They are simple,versatile and can be worn with almost anything, at any time of the year! 

Flexibility is the key - you can change the whole look by simply adding a bit of accessories or a piece of outerwear for utilitarian purposes.

Now bear in mind that the wardrobe essential as such is only a basic thing- it is all up to you to add anything that suits your style and taste!!!

Details of today's outfit:

Denim Top : H&M

Corduroy Jeans : Bershka

Sunnies : Cotton On

Fedora : Zara

and that's a wrap sweethearts... stay tune for more outfit inspirations coming up soon

Wardrobe Weeding is the key!!!

I have been very active on my posts recently and often times, you’ll find me showcasing my #OOTD’s or simply sharing you my #fashionspirations  (fashion inspirations outfits) either in Lookbook, Facebook or mostly in Instagram. By doing so – it also means different types of clothing’s needed!!! This is where my frustrations comes in place- The most dreadful part in choosing the clothes to wear is either I feel that the clothes is too small on my size (blame it on the extra pounds I gained!!! Grrrr!!!) or that feeling where you think you have “nothing to wear “ when you actually have a full wardrobe of clothes

I get it , sometimes we were blinded by all these enticing "SALES" we saw in the mall and most of us ended up buying things that are just kept “on hangers” – items that are not liked, does not fit properly or perhaps bought on a caprice –impulsive buyers like me can totally relate to this!!!

Then, I started to experiment my mode of dressing – de-clutter those pieces so I could see the true potential of what I have in my closet, only identify pieces that I can still be of used and filter out the rest and voila!!!! I would have never imagined that the outcome is excellent!

Think about this cropped pullover (see photo below) which I got from women's section in H&M which took me one year before I could finally used it as a layering piece for this super chic custom fit white button up which I also worn once

After clearing out my closet - I feel confident that the next time I open my walking wardrobe ( haha!! ) I am going to see something nice and are useful for my kind of style!!!

Details of today's outfit :

Cropped Pullover : H&M

Tattered Jeans : Zara

Burgundy Combat Boots : H&M

Plain Button-up : Iconic

There you have it folks:), I hope you find this post a little helpful in weeding your closet, always remember your style is unique - let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others" - Anna Wintour

Music to my ears!!!

Normally, I had my photo shoots done on a daytime because of its natural lighting which I believe one of the most essential part of photography, I never tried doing a shoot during night as I am a bit worried that I may not capture the best shot but I guess we pulled it through - credit to my bf/partner for his patience and effort!!!

Statement Cap : Boy London
Hoodie : H&M

The Grunge Look!!!

I usually don't stick to one look, if people asks me what is my personal style, I honestly tell them my mode of dressing depends on how I feel that day - it does not evolve from one particular look... I love experimenting!!!

One style that I truly love is the grunge fashion! The style combines elements of punk mixed with inexpensive working class clothing, like jeans and plaid fabrics and of course putting it up with all the right accessories

Unlike many other fashion trends, other than plaid, there appears to be no true constant in grunge. What do you think of this look guys?

Details of today's outfit:

Bart Simpson Tee : Bershka
Plaid Shirt Flannel : Zara
Skinny Black Denim : Zara
Platform Boots : Out of the World Tokyo

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

What do you think of  this look? Your feedback and suggestions are very much appreciated!!! Please take time to visit my Lookbook account too... Stay tune for more upcoming street style looks

Much Love

Fashion vs. Style!!!

"To experiment with style"

Fashion is evolving every now and then and never get confused between Fashion and Style, So let me ask you this? What is the real deal between Fashion and Style? What makes them different from one another.

Here is the definition stated by Fashion Blogger Jill Chivers;

Fashion is the relationship to the external.  It is concerned with “what’s out there” (fashion items, in the stores).  It’s a matching process between what’s out there(fashion’s primary interest) to what I’m wearing.  Is what I’m wearing a ‘match’ for what’s ‘out there’, to what’s been deemed ‘in fashion’?

Style is the relationship to the internal. It’s about “what’s in here” (my sense of self, my identity, my perception of who I am).  The matching process is between what’s in here and how that is reflected and expressed in what I’m wearing.  Does my clothing ‘match’ my sense of who I am, at least for today?

Based on that definition, you can easily tell a big difference in the orientation of our focus if it's on fashion versus style. 

Fashion is very universal - it rapidly evolves and constantly changes, style has a dynamic nature too but it's more about self expression and showing your uniqueness which I think that what makes us different from one another!!!

and that is my views on Fashion vs. Style , if you got something to share, please feel free to drop me a note

Head Accessories : Salakot from Philippines

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!!!

surrounded by a flock of birds

Murugan Statue 

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
