A world of pink and flowers

As usual, my style staple has always been eternal I will always and forever be that girly chic in pink. 

If there's one fashionable color I would live every single day of my life, it would forever be the pink and all the shades it has to offer, its just that I am really in my best self when I am in pink. And if there would be one world id live in, i would never think twice to live in a floral world where everything's just so serene, calm, wonderful and magnificent. And this look is a combination of two things that describe myself and my world, a  girl obsessed with pink in a world full of blooms and blossoms.

You know that I love giving you surprises in small packages that would surely make you scream "OH"

I adore the material of this dress, laces would never lose a special place in this planet, every lace piece a woman has in her closet would always be classic and never gets old even if we live a million lifetimes. And its up to the style how it would let elegance get in the way after the classic trademark, and with this, the epic scene happens when you see my back, well in front you would thinks its something so conservative but once I show you my back, there's no way out in adoring and falling in love with this top. Well this is what I call sexy, it doesn't have to show the world your big humps and your big bumps but just a little portion of yourself, little sexy part of yourself.

Im happy that my accessories, my pants and my shoes cooperated in pulling off a girly look.

I did not over accessorize because the prints of my outfit were enough to bring out the best of myself.

Plus I just want to be simple that day and make sure that the people wouldn't think that my fashion's exaggerated. Good thing every piece of me, made out the perfect combinations.

I feel like I am a flower that day, tulips, roses, daisies, name it and im gonna give you my whole self.

Have a great weekend, I hope you spend it in a world like where I wanna be, of pink and flowers!

Turquoise

This is what I wore when my friends and I decided to have a road trip at Subic and spent the afternoon walking by the beach, watching the sun set and eating steak with our endless talks and non stop laughs. We are so lucky that we still find time seeing each other and make up with each other despite our busy schedules and being in some sort of a long distance relationship, we just see each other on school breaks and its the only time we can take advantage of making great memories. I am so blessed to have friends that would always be there even if we are stuck in situations beyond our control. Have you found your true friends?

Top: borrowed from my sister

Pants: Mango

Bag: gift from my bestfriend Khym

Sunglasses: Gurly Glam Shoppe

Ring: Divi

Neckpiece: H&M

Bracelet: H&M

Wedge: H&M

Lets start talking about what I wore, I did not have a hard time choosing what to wear because I already have an idea on what I like so I ended up just grabbing the stuffs I like and good thing on my first attempt of doing the mix and match routine I knew it was exactly what I wanted. I decided to wear pants for a change, and it was too late that I realized we are going to walk by the beach and make infinite moments there, but honestly being in pants wasn't a big deal to make a statement, it still allowed me to walk comfortably like a boss. Good thing that even if my lower extremities were wrapped by tightness, the sheer top allowed air to enter deep within me.

The whole look was inspired my the H&M turquoise collection, that's quite obvious because everything spells out TURQUOISE from head to toe. Please tell me if the accessories are part of the Anna dello Russo collection coz I am inlove with it! <3 I am so lucky that my mom's in the fashion capital coz I was able to have these pieces, I totally love the color and how it shouts class and sophistication.

Im bringing heavy luggage but I totally don't care because the neckpiece is something to die for and I guess every woman wants to have one coz I want to have more of these.

This baroque Prada inspired sunglasses is just so classy, I have been keeping this on my dressed for months now and finally got a good photo of it featuring its elegant details. It is not just a blogger find, I also think that every girl should own one.

Even my hands, my fingers and my feet are color coded, fangirling about color combination here. I guess I have this OC attitude about matching same same colors. Did you notice that on my posts? Perhaps that will now be the Jhavoo statement.

See that there are spiral patterns on my shoes, exactly same patterns on my glasses.

Whats your holiday getaway with your friends? Share me your stories.

Vibrant Waves

This is what i wore on my third day at Palawan, i had the third day post first before publishing the second because the second one is going to be a big blow and will forever be my favorite epicness! Now back to this, we were asked to wear something light and comfortable on our visit to the underground river coz its going to be a hot day, so even if its the season for the cold days layering is a big no no unless you want to look like trashy and more of a fashion dork as i tell you the sun never sets at Palawan!

Going to the place will take a two hour drive away from the town so i did not wear something that would allow me to move freely and that would include my hyperactive locomotion on my seat and my bad sleeping habit while on a ride. And so wearing a jumpsuit again is the best option! But ofcourse i would never ever wear something boring in days like this, my clothing would surely bring out fun and excitement through its prints that shows off a summer vibe!

Jumpsuit: H&M

Flat Sandals: French brand (from mom)

Arm candies: Divi

Sunglasses: H&M

Bag: Prada

As you can see the suit i wore wasnt really colorful and so i just made use of a lot of accessories to bring out a color palette! My blings was more of a mash up with neons coz it never fails to bring out boldness! I also adore how my blings matched my sandals and my little sling bag reminding me of a line from a movie saying "its not just a bag, its Prada" hahaha i had that little bag since i was in high school where i was still clueless about brands and it had been kept for ages at our stock room but when i was packing and getting clothes and bags from that room i saw it hanging around the back racks and so i grabbed it right away, i can still remember the innocent me walking around malls with just a small back way back then and now i can be that same old me again. And just because its old, its a little bit dirty already on its edges.

Before I end this post let me tell you a story:

We weren't even able to reach the Underground River because the boatmen and the coastguards won't allow us to travel because its was high tide all day long and waves were really big and scary that has a big capacity to destroy the vessel and drown us. We were really frustrated to see the UR since it is part of the new 7 wonders of the world and it is really something to be proud of and worth visiting, that should be the highlight of this whole trip, i just cant explain the excitement i felt when we were on our way because i cant wait to see how epic and wonderful it is but all we got was disappointment when we went the re.

I was already forcing my brother to bribe the tour guide and boat man so that we can explore the magnificent place but then the people there were protective of the tourists because their number one priority is everybody's safety. They did not care about the money they'll get but they care about our welfare. And that is what Palawenos are, hospitable and caring, they are indeed stewards of God's creation.

 I guess there would always be bummers on trips and tours, have you experienced one? =) 

Colors on Hiatus

It feels so good to have a sweet escape from reality for 4 days and 3 nights, being on vacation mode is what I exactly need now in order to be relieved from the stress I have been through on the first quarter of the semester, this is the perfect time to unwind and relax, to be worry free and just enjoy life to the fullest and get the Yolo kind of adrenaline. I spent half of my winter/Christmas/holiday break with my siblings at the beautiful island of Puerto Princesa Palawan, we had been deprived on doing this kind of bonding due to certain circumstances that happened, conflict in our schedules, work, and being kilometers and even worlds away from each other; good thing that this vacation enabled us to bond like we were kids again where all we ever want to do is to play, laugh, run around, having fun and enjoying the moments that would take our breath away.

I have been waiting for this vacation for weeks now, it even came to a point that all I could ever day dream about was the beach and the cold breeze on top of the mountains and now that it already happened I felt like I am a lucky girl because I again made one dream come true but i wasn't the one who really made it come true, i was only chasing the dream, good thing I was blessed by a Santa Mama who would make the impossible possible, thanks mom for sponsoring us this trip, we love you <3 and I know she's going to be very happy because I am able to update my blog once again, that's how supportive she is with my passion. 

Being a dreamer, I always believe that I can make every dream happen and there's one wish that's part of my list and that is I WILL GO PLACES and with that I am proud to say that:

I CAME, I SAW, I CONQUERED PUERTO PRINCESA!

Now lets talk about the outfit!

All the people in the house has only one request for me and that is to travel light, they even reminded me that I am going to the beach and I don't have to bring heels and gowns or whatsoever, I guess that's really one big problem when you are fond of dressing up especially at my part that I got used to the idea of bringing clothes for a 10 day trip even if we only have 3-4days ever since I was a child I overpack but my fellas have to thank me of i do that because I provide them with everything they're missing from extra clothes, to medicines and all that, believe me overpacking really has an advantage!

But because I am not a naughty child this season, I really did travel light, all the things I need for the trip was just on one backpack and I had one handcarry bag along with me, I guess I deserve a round of applause for being that great for the first time? Hahahaha

Jumpsuit: H&M

Bangles: Divi

Flat Sandals: HDY

Hat: Superb

Sunglasses: Gurly Glam Shoppe

The clothes I brought were just so flowy and light, more of jumpsuits, a dress and few sleeveless and shorts. I see to it that the outfits would allow me to move comfortably, in cases like this I choose comfort over fashion its just that fashion was already one with comfort in this package. Yes, the prints on my outfit saved me and my blogger self at the whole timeline of my vacation.

I will love this sandals for eternity, my feet never complained about getting hurt with this flats. I also love the stretchable garterized details in the boldest shade of yellow, the color's just so summer-ish. I swear I'm really going to collect all colors, I call it falling in love with the things that make you feel comfortable and of things that doesn't hurt. (Hahahaha, double meaning? Naauhh)

The trip brought out my subtle talent for accessorizing, you know I am not really a fan of putting so many stuffs on my neck and arms because I am more of a minimilastic type of girl but this time I really invested into colorful accessories to add fun on my outfit! and can you feel the fun I am saying with these beaded bling blings?

I really felt like a tourist with my hat and shades on and along with my bright handbag and the tourist-ish prints on my jumpsuit. I bet youre feeling the vibes too! do you? Sorry for not giving you breezy peg posts, my mind's twisted I choose summer over winter.

The vacation brought me to a realization mode, i told you that I wouldn't be overthinking right? but there are moments in between that would just let me sit by one corner then think about ways to make me feel okay once again. A lot has happened in the past and all I ever want to do is to bring my old self back and do some kind of a soul searching, my friends knew all the troubles i've been and they advised me to take this opportunity to breathe, just breathe, stop and think and that's what i have been doing on stolen time. I don't consider the thoughts as worries because I know this act would help me find who I once was and begin again. And I promised the people around me that once I ended the vacation that's when Im gonna be okay. Yes, sometimes we have to settle with "okay" than the "best"

So how are you guys?
Did you just enjoy the noche buena traditon and all the parties yesterday? I wish I could talk to you all, I need someone to talk to right now, heehee!

Greeting you all Merry Christmas!
I love you fellas <3

 This look has been existing on my laptop for ages now, sorry for blogging it just now, it was only up until this time when I realized that this is something worth publishing.

This is what I wore when I went to Moa months ago, I opted to wear something comfortable since I would do a lot of walking and strolling at my favorite mall and window shopping at my favorite shops, I really love Moa for bringing all my favorite brands in the heart of the Metro! And finally it was really my target to have one outfit shot by the parking lot and look The Eye is just behind me!

The outfit was in contrast with the golden accessories, I mean its not really typical to pair florals with golds and metals but I dont care, we have to experiment sometimes, so forbid me for being on the mood to wear bling blings that time! All the while I thought I was wearing something light and not too much of heavy baggage but I swear it was like carrying 3 kilos of gold with my necklace but I just love how it outstand and people wouldn't be looking at me and my big face but at my golden pieces. 

Im keeping this short guys, I have so many things to do for this rough week!

Happy December! Advance Merry Christmas!

Stay Classy, Not Trashy

I know Ive been such an irresponsible little one for quite a while now and as usual ive been bombarded with too much school business, i cant even go out of my dorm and chill out at the nearest beauty bar or go shopping at the most accessible mall but i guess this is how my life should be like in the second roll of my journey on my major year in college, FOCUS and DRIVEN!

But since its a holiday, I atleast i target to finish blogs about the fashion show me and my fellow PFB bloggers did last October in collaboration with Maligaya 168. That was Halloweens and ages ago and i hope its never too late to talk a lot about it.

So as to continue the dress up game, this is what I wore for the second appearance on the runway. This is really something id wear for high class events especially in formal occasions. I really don’t get overdress in those kinds events, as much as possible I try to divert my style into something more matured, classy and not trashy. I don’t do vibrant color splurging but if i do i see to it that every piece matches and not too much of rainbows.

Red, Gold and Black has always been so divine since time in memorial, it is really something that releases a dark shadow with a twist that it doesn’t end in darkness all the time but there’s just something in it that would make you wait for something more, like an essence of surprise. Black has always been so versatile in all aspects of the fashion world, but for me the role of BLACK is really CLASS! And I know I pulled of that classy look pretty well, don’t you think?

Young and Free!

The first semester is finally over! If you are a regular reader of my blog you would know all the things that I have been through, from sleepless nights to overloaded days, you would know about the tears i shed whenever i get low grades and the happiness i feel when i am at my best! The rollercoaster has just come to its temporary stop and its time to get a lot of rest and get my old self back after the terrifying ride. The sudden drops and the loops scared me a lot, most of the times i felt like giving up on it and even thought of the idea of taking away the seatbelt and just jump off so that everything would end pretty soon. Everything was mixed emotion about this unpredictable journey. There are times when i find myself crying when I feel stuck up in a room full of failures. But have you ever wondered why I still finished the ride even if it crushes my soul and scares me a million times over an over? good thing lot of people who believes in me and to the fact that i can do it. My whole family is there all the way comforting me when i cry, supporting me al the way and loving me inspite of my weaknesses. My mom never get tired of giving advices on me about all my complains and she never gave up on saying and believing that I can do it and how proud she is for me being half way in making my dreams come true. My highschool friends were there for me and they never hesitate to give motivating replies on every tweets and messages i send them. My classmates and college barkada were such a blessing because even if i am physically far away from the people i mentioned earlier they never made me feel that i am alone instead they were there for me in every failing mark i get and when I get to be the best! Thank you so much Lord for giving me these people. Life has been so hard in the past few months but it wasnt as hard as i thought because i have them! The whole experience was like heaven in the middle of hell and everything was just like the best of both worlds!

So now I have exactly three weeks to breathe, chill out, relax and blog! The first semester has just ended and it brought me to the realization that not all endings are sad, because sometimes something has to end to give way to something better or best and this is it... Hello good life! Finally you and i are back together!

As a starter, the best of Manila and I rocked out out Tuesday having fun, for the first time all our worries about academics were gone and we had the whole day embracing the moment of being together before we go back to our own provinces. We spent our day at Taguig, spoiled ourselves with a great movie, good food, drinks, talks, laughs, photos and all the best things in between! And of course that moment is the start of all the dressing game which gave way to this blog post!

This outfit is something that transformed me back to being a little girl. I swear i felt like fifteen with this pink printed dress! Fresh, Young and Free!

The moment i saw this dress, all i can ever think of was the twist of abstract and patterns at the same time and of course the burst of colors! Don't  you just love the prints and colors it has to offer? Coz i fell inlove with it at that instant and everytime i look at the photos now and look at the dress again and the accessories I wore added spice to the whole look for it never went out of place instead participated in the fun of rainbow blast. Seems like I have been a fan of playful prints and united colors this October! What's your trend today?

And I would like you to meet the Best of Manila!!! (drum roll) 

We have been sections away during the first semester but being in different classrooms doesn't mean living in a different life now. The distance and conflict schedules are what made our friendship stronger, better and infinite. A lot has happened during the months; breakups, failures, changes, quarrels but what we had was never torn into pieces by those remarkable events coz we were there for each other even if it means stealing time from all the loaded works we have. They are the people who made me believe that six is always better than one. Thank you for being with me all sem round guys, I hope we can be back together for the second roll of our battle. I love you.

The life that my outfit has is a symbol of what I am looking forward to this sembreak; something exciting and colorful and not plain boring! Have a memorable break guys! I love you all and I swear that my blog spot would not be missing in action anymore! Have fun and enjoy!

Fifteen

Taylor Swift's "Fifteen" is stuck in my mind for months now, I just cant get over the story behind it because it adds up to my "feels like 15" vibes. What was the most unforgettable experience you had at 15?

Life at 15 is an exploration for me, it was the time when I started going out of my comfort zone and began discovering a lot of things that made a big impact in my life.

ON FRIENDSHIP:

I was 15 when I gained my real friends. They say that you can gain your true friends in high school and that is exactly what happened to me. It was that time when I met 7 girls that captured my heart and a great type of friendship was built. I remember how it all started, we are all cam whores and the clicks of the digicam is what started our friendship and from that moment I came to know that what we have is something that is bound to last for an eternity. From pictures, to makeups, to editing, to clothes, to high heels, to shopping, to writing, to those smart talks, to the latest buzz, they were the girls who made all the blogging thing possible because it was through them that I learned how to be fashionable, trendy, and write about everything; to dreaming, to planning and almost anything in between they were the girls I was with. And know that youre wondering what made me say they are my true friends, its because even if we are 19 now and the world has separated us away from each other physically our friendship is still strong despite all the messed up schedules and long distance. They are the girls I had, I have and will always have. CS will always be CS!

I also had another barkada that came into my life when I was 15, it was the LoveTeams, it started out when we had that special someone and we decided to be just in one group with our pairs. They were the ones who were with me all throughout my junior year since most of them are my classmates, and if they were not around my 3rd year in high school wouldnt be as worth it as it was. They taught me how love works in a lot of ways and they were the ones who taught me how to be a keeper. Now that we are 4 years older now the bond that we share never gets rusty and old. And even if we have our new set of loveteams at the moment, the frienship was never broken into pieces.

I only belong to 2 barkada, I am not Ms. Friendship and Ms. Congeniality and if there are those friends not part of the set I mentioned earlier, they are just few. Well I really don't need a lot of friends and be crowned to be the friendliest, I just want people who would be true to me. The other friends were mostly my classmates when I was a sophomore then we reunited at senior high, the best thing about them is that even if I am not officially part of their group, they treat me as someone very special that they rarely forget to invite me if they have activities and events. They are the people I run to when I am already done running to the girls and what I love about them is that they always welcome me with open arms.

I was 15 when I met and had my true friends and I am so lucky that my 15th year of existence made it all happen!

ON LOVE:

First crush, other crush,puppy love, first love, almost lover and your great love. 

Did you ever meet them when you were 15?

Hi crush... believe me when I say I have a lot. From the boy next door type of crush to the girl crushes and that desperate kind of crush. They always give me that kilig feeling and they start being the ones I dream about all day long. The only thing I hate about crushing is that my crushes and I never end up being together!!! Hahahaha. It seems like a crush would always be just a crush. (up until now that I'm in college)

Hi Puppylove... It was a cute kind of love. I don't have any specific person in mind who gave me this feeling. I bet this ones for kids. Do you have one?

First Love... Do you believe in the saying that first love never dies? What made it never die is the fact that all the firsts was with them and what I realized about it is that you should make sure that your first love is worth the firsts because you would never ever forget your first times and if you made one with someone those things would always be attached to the name of that person.

Almost Lover... At 15, I wasnt ready for something serious at all, I wasn't even open for official relationships and that made the ALMOST experience happen. There was this one boy, okay I can say that I was gaga over him, I thought I love him or maybe I did or maybe that's what puppy love is or i dont know, and I thought he felt the same which is up until now I really dont know if he did or he did not. I thought the romantic feeling was mutual, were they? We were textmates, I consider him my best friend, and my weekend lover because weekend texting is spent with him. We talk about anything and everything, that kind of set up run for months to almost a year and my friends know how happy I am with this boy... UNTIL ONE DAY, WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS, EVERYTHING ENDED! Hahahahahahaha. and one thought tickles my mind everytime I think of that person, he was that Almost lover and there was this love we never had.

 Great Love... (nahhh, maybe I can write about this on a separate post) Hahahahaha a hanging topic. 

-SOON-

At 15, I fell in love and got a broken heart then I learned how to move on and let go making me realize what love life is all about!

My mind suddenly got corrupted because I remember everything about highschool and it left me nostalgic.

Maybe its time to talk about fashion...

The title for this post is Fifteen not only because I am LSSed about that song but also because my look on this day is the style I love the most, something very YOUTHFUL!

When my friends tell me Im already old I always tell them that the only thing that elevates are the digits of my age and not my look and my style. Teens can always relate on my fashion statement, because I choose ensembles that would not make me look old. Remember looks can be deceiving, and if you want to deceive the people around you then you always have to look good yet what matters most is personality of course. Outer beauty are just mere bonuses.

Sunday dress code. I wore this while doing some grocery errands at SnR at the last day of sale.

When I saw the top from my brother's luggage I cant take my eyes off of it, I want to wear them right away. I so love the details on it. the layers are made up of cloth, tulle and tutu a very girlish material. And you know how I always dress up in a very girly way! I matched it up with my aztec printed leggings which I have already worn in the past and voila it matched! I should have went all out onn wearing print on print but my little sister/fashion consultant stopped me from doing so and I obeyed her since she knows what would look good on me or what wouldnt and so that I can have a basis if you guys would also like my look.

The shots are taken by my beloved yaya for 25 years! Finally she already know how to take pictures and I can feel that she is very supportive in my blogging career. I actually made "pilit" her to do the photography work since my sister got tired from doing grocery errands with mamuy and good thing she never gets tired of giving in to my cutie patootie charms and I am her favorite not so little girl that's why she can never say no to my requests. I love my yaya, she's the best!

How do you like my look?

I hope my outfit gave you an inspiration on how to dress up in a teeny weenie way! That is always what I wanted to do, to be some sort of a fashion inspiration in little ways. I know that I don't dress up as fashionable as the top bloggers but I want you to believe that an ordinary person can the brightest in any way by dressing up in a simple yet fashionable way and by looking good and ofcourse by being good.

Back to my Remembering 15 dose;

That was the time when I gave in to learn more about life by going through the exploration and discovery. I thank the Lord for giving me the best life at 15 and I thank the people who were there for me that time because the infinite experience wouldn't be possible if you were not around. I LOVE YOU ALL!
