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

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

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

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
