Sorry for the random title. I bought this plaid button down shirt last year because it reminded me of fruitcake—and Christmas. I was supposed to wear it on Christmas Eve with already a style in mind. I was planning to go preppy and wear it with chino pants and loafers but I still ended up looking grunge, lol. I guess I just have to embrace my personal style!
What I’m wearing:...

This May, the Philippines opens its doors to the newest fashion destination for European fast fashion—SUITEBLANCO! With over 270 stores in 23 countries, the brand continues to rapidly expand in the Middle East and several regions in Asia. I was able to check out the store during the opening and I must say, the clothes are really nice and affordable! Almost everything’s less than...

My friends and I wanted to do something different one Friday morning. Instead of heading to our usual hang outs, we bought tickets to The Mind Museum at Taguig and fed our minds instead of what we usually feed—our tummies! We knew we were in for an unforgetable museum experience! We got the Science Summer for 6 promo wherein for every five (5) tickets bought, you get 1 additional FREE! We...

Do you love Hainanese chicken as much as I do? I was able to try it in Singapore and instantly became addicted to it. I can seriously eat it on a weekly basis! And now, I am very happy that I don’t need to go out of the country anymore to satisfy my craving! Wee Nam Kee has authentic Singaporean cuisine and serves one of the best Hainanese chicken I’ve ever tasted (plus their sauces...

Wore this to the VIP opening of the newest mall in town—SM Aura Premier! It was such a fun, crazy and hectic night. My friends and I had to jump from one event to another. There were countless ribbon cutting ceremonies, blessings and shows! They also launched Hollywood A-lister Sarah Jessica Parker as the face of the new upscale mall. SM Aura Premier is a work of art—and it opens to...

Went to the launch of Crocs’ new collection last week at Whitemoon Bar. My favorite comfort footwear brand officially announces the arrival of their take on the classic topsiders! The event was perfect because it was overlooking Manila Bay and we got a gorgeous view of the sunset. I’m really happy to be representing Crocs once again along with Laureen and Camille. I’ve been a...

I really enjoy out-of-town shoots because that meant I could work and play at the same time. I’ll share behind-the-scenes pictures once the final photos have been publicly launched. Good thing I was able to relax for a bit, enjoy the view, squeeze in a quick dip and take a few photos during my break.
Button down (Hang Ten), board shorts (DC), flip-flops (Cushe),...

I was invited to walk for the Dockers fashion show a few months ago—the team asked me to style myself and create a look that’s good for casual wear. This look reminds me so much of how I used to dress up in college!

Crocs officially announces the arrival of their take on the classic topsiders—definitely not your typical boat shoes, as they made each pair more comfy, sturdier, with a molded new look.
The new Beach Line collection gives a new twist to the iconic topsiders. Crocs made them so light you won’t feel any excess baggage when walking! With it’s lightweight form and vibrant colors,...

Wearing denim on denim during summer may not be the best decision I made today but good thing this tri-tone chambray shirt is soothing to the eyes—sort of. I walked for the Folded & Hung fashion show last year and this was supposed to be the outfit I was going to wear for the fashion show. They changed it the last minute but I’m happy I got to keep the outfit haha!

Hosted by Robi Domingo, the show featured top notch celebrities such as Xian Lim, Julia Montes, Phil...

Yep, it’s one of those shirt + jeans + sneakers kinda day. I was too lazy to get up and get moving. I wore a lightweight polo over the shirt (because everyone knows that a grey shirt is jabar-prone LOL). See, I can raise my arms with confidence haha! Hope you guys have a great and productive week ahead!

Since it’s summer, I am trying my best to inject some color into my wardrobe. I think it’s time to take a break from my usual black, heavy denim, cargo pants look—for now at least! Anyway, I wore this to an out-of-town trip with my buddies yesterday. I know this is a style blog so I apologize for wearing slippers in this outfit post! Haha forgot to bring decent shoes! I’m...

Went on a camping trip a few weeks ago with my friends at Nagsasa island, Zambales. I’m proud to say I survived two days in the wilderness! No signal, no internet, no decent restroom and no fast food, haha! Setting up our own tent, making new friends on the island, having drinks, sharing crazy stories and stargazing at night—it was definitely one for the books! There’s always...

I woke up early to go jogging around Fort then changed into sweatpants and sneakers to run a few errands around the area (and take outfit shots haha). I wasn’t in the mood to wear jeans (nor contact lens) but I think it turned out nice! Athletic wear as casual wear isn’t so bad at all!
What I’m wearing: hoodie (Cotton On), sweatpants (Topman), high-top sneakers (Creative...

It’s such a challenge to dress up in this weather! If only I could wear shorts and slippers to meetings *sigh*. Here’s another laid back outfit—nothing special. I added shwings (shoe wings) to make the look a bit more interesting. It was the least I could do, haha! Anyway, It’s Fridaaaay! What a crazy week! I hope you guys had a productive one!

There’s nothing like a spontaneous day trip. Lissa and I wanted to get away from the city even just for a few hours so we drove to Tagaytay using the all-new Ford Focus!
Thanks to our ride—we were able to have a sumptuous breakfast at Antonio’s, went to Sky Ranch, the newly built amusement park beside Taal Vista Hotel, did some shopping and to end the fun-filled day, we were...

Spent the weekend at the beach with a couple of friends. Since all of us are overly busy all the time, a break from school/work was just what we needed. I’m hoping for more beach trips this summer—even if I’m so dark already! lol

A young croc hatched in Manila! After 80 years in the biz, LACOSTE launched a brand dedicated to the youth and the young at heart—LACOSTE L!VE. I went to the flagship store in the New Glorietta to check out the clothes and grab something to wear to the launch party.
Opening its first store in Rustan’s Tower and now the newly opened free-standing boutique in Glorietta 2, Lacoste...

What’s up with first days? If you’re thinking, no, it’s not my first day on the job—nor did I apply for a job. I just had a dinner meeting for a new project. Scroll down and check out the video! That’s the only hint I could give for now!
Can’t even keep track of how many times I’ve worn this outfit—you could say it’s something in my comfort...

Last month, I had a shoot for SM Mall of Asia for their Big Summer Sale (April 19-21). We shot at Pico de Loro, Hamilo Coast in Nasugbu. It was such a fun shoot—felt like we were just a group of friends who went on an out-of-town trip! It didn’t feel like work at all. Here are a few behind the scenes photos!
The first layout was at the infinity pool overlooking Hamilo Coast. Jas...

Heck yes. I’m back to wearing sweatpants. Wore this to a meeting and an event a few weeks back. The colors I’m wearing are pretty dull/dark so I opted to wear these mirrored sunnies from Von Zipper. I used to think these type of sunglasses are just used for outdoor sports. I’m glad they released new designs that are more suited for everyday wear. Still sporty but stylish as...

Here’s something you could wear to work this summer! Perfect for warm days ahead. This could work or it might be a bit too casual—it still depends on the industry and company for which you work. Opt for light fabrics and light colored polos instead of dark ones like black, grey and navy blue.
What I’m wearing: striped short sleeve polo (Greater Good), chino pants (Cotton...

Although the heat in Manila is unbearable, I’m happy I live in a tropical country because I can take a 1-2 hour drive away from the city and go to the beach. Summer is my favorite season because I enjoy being under the sun and the days seem longer—do you agree? Anyway, I have to finish a lot of work before leaving again for another beach trip with my buddies this weekend!

How’s your Holy Week going? I’m staying in Manila for the first time in years. My family usually spends the weekend in a beach somewhere but this time, we decided to rest and stay in. Went swimming, drove around the city (there’s no traffic!!), and watched a few dvds. I wish Manila was this quiet and peaceful everyday! Here’s a very simple ‘summer’ outfit I...
I am never without a dog. I am a self-confessed animal lover and I’ve always dreamed of going to Zoobic Safari ever since I was a kid. Last weekend, my wish came true! Went to Subic for a weekend getaway and Zoobic Safari was on top of my “go to” list. Better late than never! The 2 hour drive was worth it. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised—I’ve never seen so...

Spent the weekend out of town for work but I managed to squeeze in a trip to the beach before heading back to Manila. Nothing like listening to my summer playlist and catching up on my reading. Hope I could do these more often!
Neon/striped board shorts (Tomato), yellow headphones (Skullcandy), blue mirrored sunnies (Von Zipper), tie-dye iphone case (Blxnt Manila), slippers (Cushe).

Here’s an idea on what you can wear to a music festival! More than rocking out to their favorite bands, people go to musical festivals to dress up and show off their “Coachella-inspired” style—laid back, artsy and cool. I’m going to the biggest music fest this summer. Yup, I’m talking about the Close Up Summer Solstice! Happening this April 27 at the MOA...

A few weeks ago, random women received teal roses from this guy named Jorgen in celebration of Women’s International Day. I actually witnessed this while I was having dinner at The Fort with my friends! I have to say, I enjoyed seeing the smiles on all those girls’ faces! I believe that happy girls are the prettiest, don’t you agree? :)
So……who is Jorgen? Find...

When it comes to dressing up on weekends, I like to keep it cool, casual and comfy. Weekends are usually spent for errands or chilling in the outdoors and who said you can’t look put together yet look casual at the same time?

Mornings, for me at least, are the most productive time of day. I wake up as early as 6 to have breakfast, exercise, check emails and read my favorite blogs. It’s quiet and there are no distractions.
Rise early and you actually have time for breakfast. It’s one of the most important meals of the day. Without it, you won’t have the energy your body needs in order to get through the...

Spent the entire day in Hong Kong Disneyland! It was crazy cold so I really had to layer! Since I was in “the happiest place on earth”—even though I don’t look very happy in pictures—I tried to keep my look young and fun. You guys know I’m not very adventurous when it comes to experimenting with colors so this was the best I could do, haha!

Went out of town with a couple of friends for some wakeboarding and skateboarding. My friends picked me up extra early so I didn’t have time to come up with an outfit. I never bought the excuse “I was in a rush so I grabbed the first thing I saw in my closet.” So what do you do when you’re running late or feeling lazy to dress up? Reach for a basic and build from there.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not moving out. I am simply looking for long-term investments. As much as I love living with my family, I sometimes wonder how it is to live independently. Admit it, we all want our own personal space and feel like a grown up.

I finished work early so I decided to go to Mandaluyong and check out condo units! Wore something business-like but I wanted to keep it a little rugged and modern so I untucked the button down and wore blue-soled leather shoes. I always fail in trying to look clean and polished anyway lol
