Stylized By Liz Uy

Liz Uy is one of the many fashion icons that I really look up to. She is a fashion editor and stylist to famous celebrity clients here in the Philippines including Kris Aquino, Georgina Wilson, Bianca Gonzalez and Julia Barretto among others. Her book, Stylized, is heaven-sent to all of us women who wanted to develop our skills in styling our everyday wardrobes. 

I just love how this book gives every detail that I need when it comes to styling basic white shirts, jeans and leggings. I am into jeans as in. I hardly wear sophisticated clothes for the reason that I don't have that kutis porselanang skin. I have got stretch marks all over my body due to drastic weight loss and I'm not comfortable with it. 

That's why, jeans have become a staple fashion item in my life. Usually, I'd go out just wearing a basic white tee, jeans and sandals. Sometimes, I'd add some fancy accessories to make my simple and laidback outfit kind of edgy. 

Hands down to Liz Uy for writing this book. I'm sooo following her fashion tips and ideas!

Hat for an island getaway

It's a rainy Monday morning. Typhoon Ruby is slowly approaching Metro Manila and is expected to make a landfall in Batangas. Praying for everyone's safety! Anyway, I was in the perfect mood to take some selfies last night. For props, I borrowed my little sister's hat from New Zealand. It's a perfect hat for summer especially for an island getaway. I'm seeing myself wearing a pretty dress (preferably a white v-neck dress), a choker and this hat on a white sand beach with my girlfriend. And yes, some metallic tattoos too for accent! That would be a great beach outfit idea, isn't it? Teehee!

Basic Outfit

Basic outfits are very pretty to look at, isn't it? I got this outfit inspiration from an instagram account featuring basic outfits from random people here in the Philippines. Local fashion bloggers were the major contributors on that website and it seems like they already have inspired so many. 

Outfit details: My top is from a tiangge store in Pampanga, bottom is from Uniqlo, Birks inspired sandals are from Sewn Sandals and the American Apparel inspired tote bag is from Forever Vogue Clothing. My AA inspired tote bag is really rad! It has zipper but it doesn't have pockets inside though.

Forever 21 SM Southmall

A very good news to all those people from down south! Forever 21 is opening a branch at SM Southmall on October 31st. I jumped for joy when I saw this on my news feed. You know, it's a dream come true for shopaholics like me. Plus, Forever 21's been my favorite store ever since it penetrated the Philippine market. If my memory serves me right, my first ever purchase from them was a plain white top. It really goes well with my favorite leggings and skinny jeans. I'm excited to get first dibs at Forever 21 Southmall. I'd like to get a pair of bf/ripped jeans and probably a nice sweater for the upcoming holidays.

Brandless Shoes

It is very seldom for me to wear shoes when going out. I am just more comfortable wearing my Havaianas flip-flops especially when the weather's scorching hot outside. But last time, I had this urge of taking these babies out. I bought this pair at a Tiangge store in Starmall, Alabang. It was love at first sight! It resembles a famous shoe brand that I saw while shopping for our upcoming trip to Tagaytay. The color's very versatile. I can pair it with almost any outfit in my wardrobe. Plus, it is SUPER comfy to wear. It did not give me a hard time strolling around despite not wearing any socks at all. I did not expect that these brandless shoes can give that style and comfort at a fraction of the cost.

Chicabooti BF Jeans

This is my first ever pair of ripped BF jeans! I have been looking for this kind of pair for the longest time and I was lucky enough to find one at Chicabooti, a famous Australian clothing brand. 

The size is kind of big for me though. I would just have it repaired by Alter to Fit, hopefully by next week. I really am not new to Chicabooti brand because my aunt who is based in Wellington-New Zealand has brought me some Chicabooti pieces last Christmas and they were all GORG!

Lacoste Bag

Who doesn't love receiving birthday presents? I'm pretty sure all of us would be in euphoria when someone would remember us on our special day. Anyway, this beautiful Lacoste tote bag is from my baby. She gave this to me on my 28th birthday. It actually is my second Lacoste bag. I bought the first one at Alabang Town Center a few years back. It was way smaller compared to this one so I immediately ditched it after a month or so. The size of this bag is just perfect to carry all of my stuff. I just saw online the newest Lacoste bag designs and they all look fab especially the white Lacoste blogger bag. It's to die for!

Perfect Dress

This dress just caught my attention. It's simply beautiful! This is the type of dress that I can wear on a date or when I go out to do some shopping. I'm not the skinny type and this dress would be perfect to hide those flabby fats in my arms and belly. 

The color is very refreshing. I love the pumps and bag too. ;) I hope I could find something like this in my favorite local stores.

Women's Fashion

I am getting hooked into Pinterest lately. I actually downloaded it a few years back but it's only now that I got the chance to check it out. My Pinterest followers are some of my  classmates way back in high school and college. 

Anyhoo, I found this outfit while browsing the women's fashion section. It instantly caught my eye since black is one of my all time favorite colors. I love the design of this dress. It's simple yet beautiful. 

The gold clutch is nifty and it made the whole ensemble more elegant-looking. This would be a perfect outfit idea for a dinner date with your special someone.

My Outfit Inspirations

I'm no fashionista but I know what outfits will look good on me though. I do like reading fashion-related blogs including Laureen Uy's Break My Style blog. It's a good inspiration for all those who have great love for fashion. She has her own unique style that no one could ever imitate. She could carry almost any outfit even the style you never thought is possible. 

I'm conservative and I hardly wear sophisticated outfits and when I do, I always make sure that it's comfortable to wear and not too revealing. The outfit (photo above) is something that I could wear on a date. It's simple yet classy. The pumps are gorgeous! And the color is perfect for my fair skin tone.

While this outfit is perfect for malling. I'm a jeans person. I like wearing it when going out with family or friends. It's very comfortable to wear especially when paired with flats or flip flops. The blazer makes it more elegant-looking but the white top alone would do wonders. You would never go wrong with a white collared top. It's something that you should always have in your closet.

Stashd Application

I am no fashion expert but I do like reading fashion-related blogs and magazines. I always like getting myself updated with the latest trends in the fashion industry. While I was browsing for new applications on Appstore, I've stumbled upon the Stashd app which showcases the hippest fashion today. It would surely be of help when I wanted to know the styles that are "in" these days. I don't need to buy fashion magazines anymore since almost everything I needed to know is right here.

New Pullover

Hi everyone! Christmas is fast approaching. Bazaars are sprouting like mushrooms these days. I've been to Noel Bazaar at the Festival Tent with baby just the other day. There were only few stalls inside since the space is quite limited. I happened to pass by this stall that sells overrun clothes. The pullovers that I saw mostly were gorgeous but this one instantly caught my eye. I got this pullover for only PHP 100.00. A great steal, indeed!

Pullovers are "in" these days. I've been seeing several online shops selling pullovers but they are beyond my budget. I've always been tempted to place an order online but I just don't like the idea of going to the bank to make the payment. You know, It's kind of hassle on my part. That's why I really was happy to get this nice pullover. I didn't think twice of buying it. It's like the ones that I've been seeing in Forever 21 stores. 

As you can all see, it has sequins on it. It only doesn't look good but it's comfy to wear too. It's not thick and heavy so you could basically wear this even when the weather isn't too cool.

On Being Practical

Who says you need expensive things just to look fashionable? In time of crisis, you really need to know how to be practical. You must know what are your priorities. I was once a brand-conscious type but after I've experienced being broke a few years back, I've come to a realization that I should really start saving up for my future.

I've started to patronize local brands after that. This pair of shoes is from my aunt. She gave this to me on my 28th birthday. It's from Solemate, a local shoe brand that can be purchased at any SM department store. I love their collection. They are so trendy and colorful. I have three pairs of Solemate shoes that come in one design but different colors, of course. They are comfy to wear too. 

New designs are now up for sale. I wish I could grab them all but I know it isn't practical to splurge on things I really don't need. I have to keep in mind what I've just learned about saving up.

Animal Print Top

I am an animal lover. I have a soft spot for animals especially for dogs. We have 6 dogs in total and 1 of which is my very own dog. He is a mixed breed of toy poodle and lhasa apso. He is a very smart dog and loyal too. When I went out to do some grocery shopping with mom earlier, I saw this cute top with animal print on it. I did not think twice of getting it as I love anything that has something to do with animals particularly dogs! There are other nice designs available but this one really caught my eye. I got this top for an incredibly cheap price- PHP 150.00. I tried this on while wearing my aztec leggings and the combination was just perfect!

Forever 21 Accessories

Most girls like accessorizing themselves and that includes me. I spend most of my blog earnings buying some cute and fancy accessories for myself. Forever 21 is one of the stores that sells fashionable clothes and accessories. This ring is a graduation gift from my sister. It can be paired with almost any outfit that I have, whether it is a formal or laid back outfit. I have been acidic eversince and fancy jewelries like this won't last any longer. But, whatever! I would still buy the accessories that I know would look good on me.

Fashion School

I love reading fashion magazines. I always make sure to buy the latest issue of my favorite magazine to check the most up-to-date trends out in the market. I like to be a fashion designer someday and run my own clothing line. I know before it happens, I need to enroll myself to a reputable fashion school. Thanks to fashion-school-finder! I was able to find the list of new york fashion schools. I dream of enrolling myself to a well-known fashion school in new york because as we all know, New York is the birthplace of hottest styles from famous designers in the world. I really had a great time reading the articles and inspiring stories of well-known designers like Ralph Lauren , Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Donna Karan. I hope and pray that fashion schools new york will help me achieve my goals in life.
