Christmas may be over, but there's still a lot of holiday gatherings and NYE parties to attend for sure - how about putting together a full makeup look on a a super budget? Sara and I decided to put on this fun holiday take on the popular $20 makeup challenge (see her post here) - see my choices below! BASE - $3.50 I...
I think I pretty much checked off some items from "fall must-have" listicles with this outfit that I wore to have lunch with a girlfriend. A peacoat (which I've had for years now, btw) ? Check. Something knitted? Check check! How about two things everyone seems to be loving this year - a suede button-down skirt and lace-up flats? Check, check and check! ...
If you ask any fashion girl what THE dream is, I think everyone would be unanimous about New York Fashion Week. You know what I mean by the dream - the ultimate highlight to anyone's career; the ultimate sight to see, the ultimate #fashiongoal. It happens like clockwork every year as all eyes are glued to New York City and how it basically...
Do you think it is ever too early to think about the holidays? Back in the Philippines, malls start selling Christmas decor and radio stations start playing Christmas songs as early as the first week of September. I kid you not! Our country does love the holiday season a big deal, haha. Now, I don't usually go all out with "holiday dressing" like...
If you were to ask me, I've spent the last five or so years being relatively happy with the style choices I've made for the big, sweeping events and moments in my life. I almost always prefer simple yet structured pieces, things I've probably had sitting in my closet for awhile, which I could easily accentuate with some statement shoes and accessory pieces....
I believe that every single guy and gal out there has their own personal list of holy grail items that they can't live without. You guys know exactly what I mean -- personal items that, no matter how hard you try to let go of or mix it up, just can't escape. In the beauty department, I found two things I know I...
Sometime ago, the term #Dadbod won the internet and our collective subconscious. This apparently applies to dudes who strike a "nice balance between a beer gut and working out". Also, a dadbod is a guy who is "not incredibly chiseled, but at the same time, is not unhealthy." For a visual example, see Chris Pratt early Parks and Recreation days, and of course, Leonardo...

Ah, 2013. The year of awesome hair, not-so-sweltering days back in my old city, and deliberating on many, many tough calls and life decisions. Oh, and let's throw skinny legs in the mix! Good times, good times. My pre-partum physique may have left the building (temporarily, at least), but I did get to keep the sick military coat and boots. Fall isn't until...
Hey guys, quick question -- am I the only one in the whole blogosphere not really feeling the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collab? Firstly, LP is just not aligned with my personal style, and I kind of find the in-your-face-summer-prints overrated, but hey, that's just my opinion. Still, the rest of the internet did go crazy when the collection went live, everything sold out within minutes, and...
Hello, ladies and gents! Only less than two weeks away for Mother's Day-- I still can't believe it's my first year celebrating as a mother myself! As you well know, shopping season kicks up to high gear right around this time as we are all scrambling to find awesome gifts for the moms in our life. This is also the time when beauty...
1 Bomber jacket, Zara | black dress, thrifted |bucket bag, Steve Madden | thigh-high boots, Wild Diva | tassel necklace, New York and Co. After months of waiting and several freak snowy days in between, spring has really finally landed in my part of the Midwest. And I'm not talking about the 10-degree false alarms, I'm talking about sunny, fairly cool 50-to-60-degree weather,...
