Good Dress Up Denim on Denim + Tiger Pad Guesting. ELENABLOG

Hiiii! :)

I must say, being a working girl really ate up my time and made me on a blogging hiatus for months! Actually not just work but I also chose to stay away from the computer on weekends to spend it with my family and friends. But now, I finally squeezed in some time to document outfits and write this blog post. Honestly, even though I dress up nicely at work (yes, we're required to dress up like a walking mannequin) I can't take pictures of my outfits everyday because I'm busy. hehe I just post outfits on my instagram account: @nicooolesantos.

 Anywaaaay I'm really excited to share this one to you because I finally have decent pictures and stories to tell. A lot of things happened to me these past few months. Awesome things actually. As much as I want to jot down everything here, time won't allow me to stay up too late because I have to wake up early tomorrow and I'm afraid I might bore you. haha! Still, I'm obliging myself to do so because I owe you one interesting post for being M.I.A. for months. ;)

I'm really thankful for all the things that happened and is happening to me right now. Really. First, even though I'm busy at work, I love what I'm doing and I just got regularized YAY! Second, I'm really enjoying spending time with my family and friends these past few days. I feel like a Superwoman whenever I manage to get things done at work and be good in being a sister, daughter and a friend to the people around me. Lastly, besides being a good sister, daughter and friend, I'm really happy being a girlfriend to the most awesome guy ever! (Yiiieee..Hi love if ever you're reading this. haha ew cheeseball ).

On the other note, I did something for the first time recently! I was invited to be a guest in Tiger Pad, a TV Production in the University of Santo Tomas to be interviewed live. It was shown in every establishment in the university. I was really excited because I'll be going back to my alma mater and I'll be doing this interview! Let me share you what I wore and what happened during that day! :)














Denim pants, Charm Bracelet, Necklace, Stilettos, Bag and Belt, FOREVER 21.

Who says denim is boring? I say otherwise! Denim is chic. I've decided to wear this denim on denim outfit, something casual yet chic for the interview. It's a school thing so dressing up comfortably is a must and I've planned lots of things to do that day. The secret to denim on denim dressing is wearing denim in different shades and wearing minimal accessories. Denim is heavy itself so wearing lots of accessories can make your look overdone. In this outfit, I chose to pair whites and a bit of gold to my denim duo. :)

 Feels so good to be back! I've missed UST! Quite nostalgic actually. :)

 As soon as I got there, the people of Tiger Pad oriented me with the flow of the show and the questions to be asked so I could make up my thoughts already because it's a live interview.

 Commercial breaks! Look at our studio! Small yet perfect for a campus TV production! Great job Prime Productions!:)

 I was asked about tips and how to's on Thrift shopping. Being thrifty was their main topic that day. Different ways to be thrifty in food and fashion. I find it a good topic for college students. 

 The Tiger Pad Team! Thank you for having me for your first Live TV Show, Prime Productions! I really had a great time! :)


So there, I hope I was able to pay up for my months of absence with this post! haha! Expect me to post regularly again soon!:)

Share me your take on the denim on denim trend! Tweet me @nicooolesantos or comment your links below! :)

XOXO,

Good Dress Up In The Pink. ELENABLOG













 Dress, Heels, Bracelet, FOREVER 21 | Necklace, SM Accessories | Watch, CASIO

I chose to wear pink for my Bloggers United 7 outfit! I think you've noticed that most of the bloggers that day are wearing pink or anything with a touch of pink! Of course we are! We're celebrating Bloggers United with Sunsilk this time! That's why I chose to wear this Sunsilk Pink dress! I came from work that day before going to Bloggers United that's why I chose to wear something that's presentable for work and for my next events!  Honestly, pink is my favorite color but I don't have that much pink inside my closet! Got this dress from Forever 21! It's so breezy and flattering! Perfect for this hot hot weather! I wanna buy it in every color!:)

Anyway, how was your #BU7xSunsilk experience? Again, I was so happy to meet everyone! Bloggers United has been the most interactive event I've ever been to! It's where bloggers and readers communicate to each other face to face! Admit it, it's nice to see a face to that someone you've always admired on the internet right? Plus, there were lots of games, prizes, booths and more items to shop! Everyone's dressed up so nice with their favorite bloggers as their style inspiration! Of course, I wanna see your #ootd s! Tweet or comment your links below!:)

Thanks to my laaav Cher Lui Pio for taking my outfit photos!:)

Good Dress Up Boracay Photodiary + Nestea Beach Party!. ELENABLOG

I don't have really good photos from my last trip in Boracay because I don't have a camera with me. All of these photos were shot using my phone! Even though I don't have a camera to take shots of how good this trip was, I can attest to you that through these photos, my short stay in Boracay was epic!:)

We arrived at Caticlan Port in the morning of May 2. Nope we didn't ride the plane, we took the 2GO ship instead and I must say, taking 2GO made this trip more exciting and worthwhile. The ship was exquisite! They have beds, a restaurant, bar, lounge, air-condition, cabins and shower rooms inside! I was really surprised! Plus it's 3 times cheaper than riding the plane and no flight delays, just saying. haha! Definitely taking 2GO again for my future trips! :)

Look, it's the Nestea crew! Can you believe that by just buying a 75 pesos worth of Nestea Pitcher, you get one activity stub for free? You can choose from Paraw Sailing, Photo live with free print or a massage! I bet the people in Boracay really gave this one a go! Fun and worth it! Props to Nestea for exciting summer activities and promos! :)






First time to try Hama, it's a japanese restaurant at D Mall, Boracay. Great food!


We dropped by the Meg Boracay Summer Party! Great party, saw a lot of friends and luckily, I won "Outfit Of The Night"! Thank you Meg Magazine!:)

I could lay like this forever. The sun, sand, water and the view? Few of my favorite things in the world!

Swimwear, top ROMWE and bottom FOREVER 21 , Flip Flops, HAVAIANAS 




Sunnies and Crochet vest, FOREVER 21



Check out these Nestea Paraws!

Swimwear, TWOZERO at The Ramp Crossings



I'm all tanned! I guess my lying around the beach every morning worked!:))


And of course, the much-awaited event of the season, Nestea Beach Party 2014 presents Steve Aoki! Woohoo! 




Getting Aoki-fied in the grandest way possible! Thank you Nestea for the VIP treatment! Epic event at Epic Boracay!:)


Let's get the party started!! So much techno music! So many people busting their moves plus overflowing drinks! Now you can tell that the event was a success!;)

Sharing this epic event with the best gurl, Ila! 

 Nestea Pitchers all lighted up! Trippy! Love the pink ones! 
My party buddy, David! What a night! You know it! :))
