Brights hues, playful patterns, loose silhouettes, and platform shoes is what 70s fashion is all about. Remember those hot pants, bell-bottomed trousers and hippie fashion? Yep, welcome to 70s fashion!

This floral overalls reminds me of 70s fashion with it's floral print and loose silhouette. I chose to wear this pair of black platforms to compliment the look. This vintage looking sunnies totally summed up the whole 70s feel.

Fashion trends just repeat from time to time. You don't have to follow trends everyday. Whenever I feel like dressing up like this or like that, I do. Styling does the trick. I may be channeling 70s fashion here but I tweaked it a bit to look modern. Make an outfit look more interesting by letting your own style show.

Anyway, how's your week so far? It's Friday already!! The week went by so fast and I love it. I know every student and people in the working class loves Friday!

Wishing everyone a great weekend!:)

XOXO

The thigh high slit made its comeback during the late half of 2013. I've posted an outfit last year wearing a thigh high slit skirt as well but I'm posting one again now. I can't get enough of this trend! I love how it's conservative yet sexy. Conservative because of the skirt length and sexy because of, well the slit showing your smooth stems! You know what they say, if you got it, flaunt it! I may not have the skinniest of legs but I'm confident that it's proportion to my body and it's scar-less. When I was a kid, my grandma hates it when I fall and marks a scab on my knee. I make sure not to touch it that much so it won't leave a scar. Taking care of your legs is a must! Living in a tropical country, you just don't want to wear pants all the time right?:))

I wanted to give this look a twist by not looking so feminine. So I matched this skirt with my sporty pullover and I was surprised that it worked! It's sexy yet sporty! Ha! ;) 

So that's my take on the sexy skirt. Your turn! How would you style a thigh high slit skirt? Post a look and tweet me/ comment your links below!:)

One of my favorite female artists is Taylor Swift! I mean, how could you not love her? She's pretty, she's a good songwriter, she's a good singer, she dances so well, she can play musical instruments, she has a sense of humor, she can pull off red lips all the time, her hair is just gorgeous and she has a good sense of style. Tay is known for donning red, white, black, stripes, polka dots and glittery outfits. Her style is very feminine. 

I was feeling very Tay that day, I just randomly chose this outfit. I wore this last December 24 for our super last minute grocery shopping. I want something comfy and easy to wear since we're already rushing to finish our grocery list for Noche Buena. I wore this red striped top and this daisy print skirt plus my houndstooth sling bag . Yes to print on print on print! You know the rules on print on print right? Just play with the colors. You can wear print on print just make sure you'll wear prints in the same color palette. :)

Tell me, this look reminds you of Tay right? especially the heart-shaped sunnies like the one that she wore in her 22 music video! You, who is your favorite female artist?:)

XOXO

I love the color blue in every shade especially in clothes. I have tons of blue inside my closet! But this blue is becoming a trend right now, the color Teal. I see this color everywhere and I've been purchasing lots of teal items lately. It's very pastel, it's between blue and green. It's new to the eye because only a few people wear teal-colored clothes. 

I love how this skirt is a combination of teal and light yellow! The pastel colors made the pencil skirt less serious. Pair it with a simple white top and heels and you're good to go! 

Got this lovely ensemble from NOUN PH! A new online store that sells chic casual clothing. Their clothes are their own design and is locally manufactured so you can have them be done in your size! They just launched their first collection so you better be shopping NOUN PH real soon!:)

So this is my first outfit post for 2014! YAY! Sorry I'v been a very irresponsible blogger lately by not updating my blog regularly. I've been busy with work and the lot but I promise to update every once in a while! :)

How are the first weeks of 2014 treating you so far? Me? I'm doing okay, I've been busy but I really enjoyed the holidays and I'm looking forward to more amazing things that will happen this year.

I haven't talked about new year's resolutions. I don't believe in this anymore. I believe if you want to resolve something, you don't have to wait for next year to do it, just do it right away. haha! But I have 3 goals this year, TO TRAVEL, TO SPEND LESS AND SAVE MORE, AND TO STAY FIT AND EAT HEALTHY.

You, what are your 3 goals this year?:)

XOXO

First of all, I'd like to greet everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!:)

How's your holidays? Mine was good! It felt great spending time with the family and friends and be off from work even for just a week! Hope you all had a great Christmas celebration!:)

Anyway, year 2013 will be over in a few days!! I'm psyched! 2013 went by sooo fast! I'm happy and blessed for all the things that I've achieved this year and I'm looking forward for more in 2014!!

Speaking of new year, do you always get the feeling of wanting to have something new? Like a new planner, a new goal, a new career or maybe the simplest thing like a new look? I do! haha! I got tired of my usual dark waist-long hair! I don't cut my hair short so I think this new look is already short for me! Let me tell you more about achieving this new look, of course with the help of one of my favorites, David's Salon!:)

Last year, I had my friend color my hair brown but it didn't showed up because my hair was sooo black. I remember swearing when I was in high school that I would never color my hair brown but I guess I'm taking it back now. I guess being an art student made me want to explore new looks for myself. 

Earlier this year, David's Salon colored my hair brown and I totally loved the look! My hair is naturally straight but I had it rebonded for a totally shampoo commercial look! haha! Achieve!

Later this year, I've noticed that my roots are showing up already! This is the ugliest thing that can happen for a colored hair. So I had my hair revamped at David's Salon!

I just wanted to have a lighter hair color that's why I told my hairstylist Ms. Sonia Calibuso to color it lighter than the usual. She's so good in knowing what I want because I always end up liking the color she applies! Don't you just get the feeling sometimes that you're kind of regretting your hair treatment? I never had that experience in David's! Every treatment is just perfect!

After my hair color, Ms. Sonia gave me a rebonding treatment. Rebonding doesn't just make your hair straight but also makes your hair look healthy!

After my rebonding and coloring, I had my hair cut! 4 inches off my waist-length hair! I was so shocked at first but I loved the look! So light and easy! Don't expect me to cut it shorter. haha! Not a fan of a short-length hair. :p

This is what my hair looks like before...

TADAH!

Here's the final look! Lighter hair color, rebonding and 4 inches off my dark brown waist-length hair! I think my hair looks healthier now! What do you think? :)

I don't usually had my hair cut straight, I always want it cut in a V shape.

No split ends! Healthier looking hair!
