Good Dress Up Camou. ELENABLOG












Camou Pullover, Gold Choker, Brown Platform Booties FOREVER 21 . Dark Green high waisted shorts, SEVENTH STREET. Green and Nude Bag, GRENJ BAGS. Gold cuff and ring, HISSBLISS. Printed Flats, IMPULSE CO.

This is what I wore last Friday for Supersale Bazaar's first day at the World Trade Center. This is my first time to post something in camou print. I have two versions of this outfit, the first is the one where in I'm wearing heels and the second look is the one wearing flats. Besides  flaunting this cute pair of flats from Impulse Co, I really can't stand to wear this pair of killer booties all day. I know these booties are sexy but it's painful if I wear it all day. Thanks to this pair of flats from Impulse Co.!

Have you visited SuperSale Bazaar last weekend? I think it's one of the best bazaars SuperSale had! There are a lot of cheap and good items! Almost every booth have awesome items on sale! Surprisingly, a lot of people came to think every mall in town is having their mid year sale! If you missed the bazaar last weekend, make sure you go to the next! I swear, it's one of the best bazaars in the metro!

Good Dress Up SuperSale Bazaar Mid-Year Sale 2013 X Free Passes!. ELENABLOG



As the second half of the year approaches, we find ourselves in a bit of a pickle trying to find ways to beat the on-again, off-again rain. The mark of the half of the year usually calls for some business planning and moreover, a wardrobe change. As the malfunctioning weather goes up and down like skyrocket, we can only count on one thing for sure � SuperSale�s yearly mid-year sale. This selling event is probably the most sought-after occasion after summer. For most of us, this is the time of the year to assess what we�ve done this first half of 2013.

July indeed serves us a dual purpose. It acts as an awakening at the same time it serves as a free pass point wherein we are all given a chance to turn our lives around. That being said, we usually take this time to focus on the easiest thing to spruce up � our physical selves. And the best and most convenient way is usually to change our eating lifestyle and a mid-year wardrobe transformation.

Unlike January, July doesn�t require a total 360-degree turn around in terms of resolutions; rather it is made to add a little pizzazz to our current rut. This time around, we have rounded up some amazing local brands to give you something to look forward to this July 12-14, Friday-Sunday, 10am-9pm at The World Trade Center, Manila. The 16thinstallment of SuperSale Bazaar Mid Year Sale gives us a high dose of over 250 brands naming a few labels like one-of-a-kind accessories of Kitty and Bee, Erb and Chet�s chic men�s shoes and bags, Abby Jocson�s high fashion clutches, Erzullie�s stylish plus size women�s wear and the denim love of Vanilla Breeze; this and much more.

Spend time with us during the 3-day weekend sale and post on Instagram and Tweet your favorite looks and pieces to win prizes and don't forget to tell us which tastemakers and bloggers are topping your best-dressed list! Try to get a snapshot with them during the 3-day fete. Don�t forget to follow us @supersalebazaar and tag us #supersalebazaar. Tons of prizes await!

Good Dress Up Denim X Tweed X Denim. ELENABLOG


Tweed Blazer, Forever 21 | Denim Dress, Forever 21



Gold Cuff, Hiss Bliss

Wedges, Forever 21






Forgot to post about this one. haha! This is what I wore last SUITEBLANCO launching at SM Aura. The dress code says 'summer', unfortunately the weather's not being so cooperative that time so I opted to wear this floral denim dress and layered my tweed blazer. I never thought tweed and denim could go together! They're both heavy fabrics, so I think the key is to wear it in different shades. Wear one in a lighter shade and one in a darker shade. My denim bag goes with this outfit as well! Excuse my low res photos, it's quite dark around fort that time. hihi Thanks Kai for taking them!

Sorry for this late blog post, I've been so busy with job applications and interviews lately. I don't know why but I'm beginning to panic about the fact that I'm still fUNemployed hihi. I'm starting to hate the bum life. I want a permanent job and earn already. haha! Some of my friends tell me it's okay, you're going to miss that life when you start working, but I'm an outgoing person. I love being busy. Yes it may be tiring and I might miss it but I want to be challenged already. I have a few prospects, but of course, I'm still waiting for call backs. I hope I'll land a job soon! Wish me luck!:)

Good Dress Up Smart Mega Pinoy Pride Ball. ELENABLOG

*Pinch me*

Feels surreal to be invited in one of the most fabulous event of the year, The Mega Pinoy Pride Ball 2013. First of all, I'd like to thank Veet Philippines and Megastyle.ph for making this possible. I didn't just attended the ball, but I also got to wear this lovely Avel Bacudio creation. 

Manila's most elite and fashionable were present for this prestigious event last June 12, 2013 at the Rizal, Ballroom, Makati Shangri La Hotel, also in celebration of the Philippine Independence Day. I think this is the most glamorous way of celebrating Philippine Independence, don't you think?


One sleeve, thigh high slit embellished gown by the great Avel Bacudio.

You can now flaunt your sexy legs when wearing your skirts, shorts and fabulous dresses! Pull off thigh high slits like this one!:)

Thank you Veet Philippines for this amazing opportunity!

So honored to meet the one and only Avel Bacudio. He's super friendly and what I adore the most is behind all the success, he still keeps his feet on the ground. Thank you so much Avel, it's was lovely to meet you! And of course, thank you so much for this fab gown! :)

Photography by Catch Gaviola

This is what I wore last Bloggers United 5! Since I'm part of the BU5 team, I know we're going to be busy so I wore something comfy yet chic. I wore sneaker wedges during the morning because I can't manage to run around and man the registration booth at all times wearing this sexy pair of heels. I just wore this later that afternoon. I seldom pull off this look, the "Grunge" look. I always look so glam and girly so I'm really excited to wear this ensemble that day. 

By the way, don't you just love my jacket? It's vintage! I got it from my Grandmother! She has the nicest clothes! Notice the *yaman look* that this jacket brings haha!

And of course, my newest favorite is my SUITEBLANCO purse!!! The salmon pink and gold went really good together! The purse looks so lovely :( :) haha! Don't forget to check out SUITEBLANCO at SM Aura Premier! I swear, they have really nice and unique clothes! Plus, they're super affordable!:)

What's your BU5 outfit? Lemme see! Comment your links below!:)

BTW, I'll be blogging about a play from Dulaang UP entitled, 'Adarna'. Stay Tuned!:)
