Good Dress Up In The Tropics. ELENABLOG

Hello Summer!

It's my favorite time of the year! The season where I can hit the beach and go on a vacation! I've perfectly planned my summer vacation this year so I guarantee you that I will be sharing them all here! Oh I've missed writing down on this page. I just figured I have nothing really interesting to share for the past few months but work. I want something really interesting. Something you guys would feel excited about reading. So here it goes...

To start of my comeback post, I'd like to share my recent Holy Week in Bataan, Philippines. It's a 3-4 hour drive from Manila. Since I was a kid, we always spend Holy Week here. We hit the beach, watch the Senakulo , lounge by the pool and do hours and hours of road trip. 


I've always loved the beach. Sometimes, I even wish I live there. I want to own a house by the beach, I wanna get married by the beach, I want to own a boat and everything related to this body of water. LOL

Bataan may not be as popular as Boracay or Palawan but this place has its fair share of wonderful beaches. West Nuk beach is our favorite! The white sand, peaceful island and exclusivity makes it really fascinating! 

One Piece, NEON ISLAND Sunglasses, FOREVER 21

This beach is more conservative than the usual ones so I opted to wear a one piece. My flamingo printed one piece is perfect for this place! The print is one of a kind because it's hand drawn, made by Neon Island of course. This one piece fits me like a glove! They have a new collection of swimwear! You have to check them out!









You, how was your summer so far?

More photos of my Bataan trip soon! Stay Tuned!:)

XOXO,
NICOLE

 It's the love month already! Have you thought of a treat to your loved ones? :)

Valentine's Day doesn't mean spending it with your boyfriend or husband, or maybe worrying because you're single and you don't have a date. It's just a special day that celebrates love.

I'm 21 and yes, he's my first. :) I've experienced Valentine's dates before but not with someone that I'm really in a relationship with. I've celebrated Valentine's day with family and friends. I ALWAYS receive treats from my family. Thank God for family right? I always receive a Valentine's gift. But of course, I'm excited to celebrate it tomorrow because I'm with the man I love. hihi *cheese* Hi Love! ;)

Anyway, talking about Valentine's treats, Honeybee and Tokyo Bubble Tea offers different specialty cakes that you can purchase for your loved ones! They have lots of flavors to choose from! Scroll down and see what can satisfy your sweet tooth! ;)

seeing this makes me drool haha excuses 
Matcha Tiramisu! For the tea lovers out there! :)
Strawberry Shortcake! One of my favorite flavors!
Always a fan of Chocolate Flavored goodies!
Something sweet and healthy!:) 
Doesn't this make your sweet tooth excited? :)



Besides specialty cakes, they also have other baked goodies for your titos, titas, lolos and lolas! :)


I'd like to thank Honeybee and Tokyo Bubble Tea for this early Valentine's gift! Sharing this Red Velvet goodness to the people I love for sure! :)

Good Dress Up First and Forever. ELENABLOG

Remember around 4 years ago, when Forever 21 first opened in SM Megamall? The lines were long and the people were all excited to shop and splurge in Forever 21's chic and trendy pieces! Now, as one of the biggest fashion retail store in the Philippines, Forever 21 relaunches their pioneer branch in  SM Megamall. Forever 21 Megamall had a major face lift to provide its customers the best service and a great shopping experience every time they visit Forever 21.

The Forever 21 event set-up inside the store. Very exclusive and intimate. ;)
Of course, what's a launch without a fashion show? Forever 21 is known for holding fashion shows every time they open a new store. This one's worth the show!


They showcased their Fall collection. Lots of fall colors such as burgundy, teal, black, caramel, gray and tan were seen on the runway. 


Forever 21 is known for being trendy so what's Fall without layering? Lots of layering, structured pieces, pull overs, denims and of course, hosiery! It's the time to put your stockings on to achieve that chic Fall look! ;)

That midi leather skirt is rad!

This sporty meets sexy look tops the list! And that bag! Oh you know how I love white shoes and bags!:)

I have this pastel pink leather jacket! I swear it turns every simple outfit around!

Power couple Jessica Yang and John James Uy walked down the runway with this pretty girl! Adorable! They look like a family! :)



Forever 21's Business Unit Head Ms. Dixie Li.


A styling game for the bloggers.


Supportive boyfriend award! hihi Thanks love for taking photos. I was late because I came from work so he took these photos for my blog! :*

 The revamped Forever 21 Megamall!:)






The store looks great right? Good as new!:)

What are you waiting for? Shop at Forever 21 now and score their trendy fall pieces! :)

XOXO
