Where I Go For Style Inspo

2025-07-03T23:57:00.004+08:00

Top, gray V-neck Sleeveless Vest: H&M | Black Skirt: Kamiseta | Inner white tank top: Zara | Black flats: H&M
Watch: iWatch | Eyeglasses: EO Optical

My go-to fit inspiration has always been Pinterest.

I plan my outfit a day before, and I would check out Pinterest how to come up with my OOTD.

Do you do the same?

Making Space for New Clothes

2024-01-17T19:43:00.001+08:00

Top: Zara | Jeans: H&M | Wedge Sandals: H&M | Tote Bag: Michael Kors | Watch: Michael Kors

Would you believe I still have clothes in my closet that are 5 years old? LOL.

This top from Zara and jeans from H&M are my recent purchases. So, I really need to declutter and make space for new clothes.

What I'm thinking for this year is I'm going to go vintage or thrifting. I will keep my coats and blazers and give away my long-sleeved blouses and some trousers.

That is because, I am now a start-up entrepreneur and no longer part of the corporate world. As they say, new wardrobe for a new lifestyle.

Stay tuned for those new OOTDs in this blog.

And you, how are you making space for new clothes in your closet?

2022-06-24T00:31:00.005+08:00

Blazer: Cotton On | Top: H&M | Bottoms: Mango | Slip-on: Rubi of Cotton On | Bag: from flea market

As we slowly go back to face-to-face meetings, we are also back to OOTDs.

You know us, girls, we always feel like we don't have anything to wear. So, what I do, I check out Pinterest and I get ideas from there. Today is no exception.

This is what I came up with. What do you think? :)

Didn't Know that Blue and Green Go Well Together?

2022-02-22T22:21:00.000+08:00

Button down: Bayo | Shorts: Kashieca Slipons: H&M

This is now the WFH OOTD: semi-formal and shorts as bottoms.

It's actually cool to have a getup like this, and ideal for work-from-home setup.

BTW, are you still working from home or you are called back to report to the office? I know some have been enjoying working from home already and don't want to go back to the office. LOL.

Are you one of them?

So, this Valentine's Day, let's wear our heart out and spread that red fiery love.

I Needed Fresh Air and Some Photo Opp

2021-01-13T23:41:00.001+08:00

Buttons down: b + ab | Slippers: Beach Walk | Face mask: Style Ana

Yesterday, I needed fresh air, so I went for a walk in the neighborhood.

It's interesting to be reminded how wonderful our neighborhood is--peaceful, quiet, and clean.

I discovered, too, that some houses have interesting designs, especially their fences. I took the opportunity to pose and project as well. LOL.

That walk did me lot of good. I went home feeling happy, light, and refreshed by the cool wind.

How life can be sweet if only we don't keep our noses buried in the piles of paperwork!

Vogue UK Features Victoria Beckham's Letter to Her Future Self

2021-01-13T00:08:00.005+08:00

We are often told to give advice to our younger self, like, what do you say to your 18-year-old you?

Now, have you tried talking to your future you?

Victoria Beckham just did! She wrote a letter to her future self, and it's inspiring!

Dear Future Victoria,

Years ago, you wrote a letter to your 18-year-old self. As it’s a new year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect and pen a letter to my older and **fingers crossed** wiser Future Self.

Do You Get Skin Irritations? Found a Solution for You!

2021-01-10T21:19:00.003+08:00

I swear by this Deoproce Soothing Aloe Vera Gel.

Mid last year, I started getting skin itches in random parts of my body. They would start as little water bubbles and would develop into bigger ones, then dry up and begin itching. Once they dry up, I would just put on lotion on these areas. But they don't stop itching, and I would get flaky skin in that area. Itchiness wouldn't go away completely. It would just come and go.

Until I discovered this soothing aloe vera gel. I applied it on the itchy, flaky parts and in a day or two, the itchiness would go away, and the skin irritation would be gone completely.

What I love about it aside from it being very effective is that it has a nice smell and when you apply it, it IS really smoothing to the skin.

I believe it also helps that I take two tablets of Proflavanol C--containing grape seed extract plus vitamin C--every day.

This product is available at Watsons.

Happy New Year!

2021-01-02T00:36:00.003+08:00

Jumpsuit: H&M

It's a new year. Like all of you, I let out a sigh of relief that 2020 is finally behind us. Good riddance!

Year 2020 though, with corona virus and calamities, was a year of revelation.

That we can stay home and go on with our lives just fine.

That we can adapt big time.

That you can be present 24/7 with your loved ones. That's why it's important to choose a partner you can live that closely and frequently.

That only the Lord can complete us.

I am so looking forward to 2021 because I will have new 365 days of OOTDs. May sound shallow, but to like nice things and wear them can be motivating as well. We all need that in our day to day life.

So, join me as I try to up my fashion and style sense in the coming year.

Happy New Year!!!

BlogMas 11 - Gift them with Uniqlo, Made for All

2020-12-16T13:38:00.001+08:00

Uniqlo from the term "unique clothing" is definitely a good choice to give this Christmas. Its basics have become a cornerstone of the contemporary wardrobe, at a very reasonable price.

That is why come Christmastime, people troop to their stores for gifts for loved ones.

One thing I also admire in Uniqlo is their ease of queuing. There may be long lines but they handle it so efficiently! Check it out for yourself.
