Good Dress Up If The Shoe Fits. ELENABLOG



One of my fashion resolutions this year is to lessen the platforms and try pulling of sexier heels. Though I know I can't let go of my love of platforms because of my height, I have to at least try it for a fresh look. Don't you just love the ankle strap minimalist heels? It looks so sexy on your feet because it has less details and thin straps so it will emphasize on the shape of your feet. It doesn't look chunky unlike with platforms. 


I wore this outfit last Sunday to my cousin's 7th Birthday at The Sun Room Cafe. Oh kids these days, her birthday feels like a debutante's birthday! She even had her 7 candles, roses and treasures! HAHA! My aunt told me that I'm part of the 7 candles so I have to dress up nicely. She asked me to wear a dress but I don't feel like wearing a dress that time. Since the event is a children's party, I opted to wear shorts to keep it casual but paired it with my navy blue blazer to look ready for the event and this sheer top to balance everything else. To brighten up the look, I wore gold accessories. 


I love this leather peplum shorts that I bought from Kirin kirin last SuperSale Bazaar! It looks like a pleated skirt! Gives a girly vibe with an edgy material.

 For me, the prettiest thing in an outfit are the shoes! It defines your outfit! haha! Honestly, whenever I see someone who dresses nicely, I look at his/her shoes first! These are my newest favorite pair of shoesies! These minimalist heels are perfect for your newly pedicure toes! Sexy eh?:)

Good Dress Up Red for NYE . ELENABLOG

My first outfit post for 2013 is my New Year's Eve Outfit! Mom told us to wear red or polka dots that night. haha! She read it somewhere so go, we followed. Good thing I have this pretty top that I bought from SuperSale Bazaar last December. This is my second time to wear this, the first time was when I judged for United Architects of the Philippines Student Auxiliary UST's National Architecture Week Fashion Show, but I wasn't able to take a photo of it so this is the first time that I'll be posting this on my blog. I love this red peplum top and what makes me love this more is the peek a boo low back with bow detail. Looks so sexy and sweet eh?:)

Good Dress Up Snowflake. ELENABLOG


  Mint Green Top with Embellished Collar and Black Tweed Shorts, Forever 21








 Black with gold shimmer clutch, Accessorize | Gold Bangle, Hiss Bliss
 Lace-Up Booties, Aldo

I don't know why, but I feel like a snowflake in this outfit. hahaha! I think the photos and the mint green color made me feel as if I'm in Winter Wonderland! Anyway, this was my Christmas day outfit. We spent Christmas day in Tagaytay with the whole family! I'm not a huge fan of green but this color really looks pretty and suits my personality. I think chiffon and tweed looks good together because of their soft to rough texture. To compliment the embellished collar, I added the gold jewel choker and gold bangles and bracelets. To give an edgy vibe to this feminine outfit, I wore my black lace up booties. Glamorous yet Edgy right?:) 

So how was your Christmas Celebration? Will post more about Christmas Day soon!:)

***Thanks to my sister Errolyn for taking these awesome photos!:*

XOXO
