MFF Fall/Winter 2016

Manila Fashion Festival 

Top 5 runway must haves Fall/Winter 2016

1. Choker Top
 
Bringing back the 90's is a great way to keep up the trend this season. Choker tops eliminate the need for an embellishment and makes the neck look more elongated but still flattering. The ribbon choker by Pablo Cabahug is my favourite, because it modernizes the style by giving it a geek chick vibe to the look. (MFF F/W 2016: Arin, Zalora, Mark Bumgarner, Pablo Cabahug)

2. Pleated Dress 

Welcome your must-have pleated pieces back in your closet. Spice up your basic outfit with something flattering. It does not only offer style but, more importantly, comfort. You would definitely more feel relax and free as you wear a piece that does not hug you too much.  (MFF F/W 2016  I'm loving the designs of Esme Palagana, Anthony Ramirez, Zalora and Tipay Cainti)

3. Off Shoulder 

For the off shoulder lovers out there, good news for you! Because we just adore showcasing our assets - oh, hello there collarbones! I'm loving the off shoulder with strap pieces in the runway, it is very flattering and adds a little bit of comfort on your body making sure it doesn't fall off your shoulder. (MFF F/W 2016: Anthony Ramirez, Tipay Cainti, Chris Diaz, Gabbie Serenas, Azucar)

4. Loose Pants 

Finally, a perfect piece to hide chunky thighs out there like mine and also for those super skinny legs, here's a perfect pants for us. It eliminates the shape of our thighs and even gives us an elongation which is perfect. I'm loving the half loose pants by Via Valencia in the runway. It totally is a must have.  (MFF F/W 2016: Arin, Pablo Cabahug, Via Valencia, Mark Bumgarner, Randy Ortiz)

Colourette Cosmetics Swatch and Review

Chelsea & Bethany Swatch

Hay Ladies! Recently I've been searching for a perfect nude lippies for my everyday look. I've seen the ads of the Colourette Cosmetics in my social media and was quite interested to try it. An online shop Pickupperkup which I've been following also sells Colourette Cosmetics lippies, so I contacted the owner and ordered the two very most loved lip sticks  <3 PickUpPerkUp can ship the product via mail or meet up. The owner, Ms. Angel, really accommodates her customers well. She makes sure to inform her customers about the pros and cons of the product before confirming on buying them. Without further ado, here are my two favourite shades of the Colourette Cosmetics.

Forgive my finger nails

Chelsea is the lightest shade among all the lipstick swatch in the collection. It has a hint of a peachy nude shade which I fell for. I believe that it's perfect for all skintones, because it's not too pale nor too dark when it sets.

When you first apply Chelsea, you might notice that the harshness of the lines in your lips is quite obvious,  but wait for it to set until you see how wonderful this lipstick goes ;) Perfect for everyday nude look right? 

Bethany baby is my favourite! One swipe and you're good to go. Bethany is the best choice for an everyday wear for school to work. I love how the pigmentation of this lipstick works, and when it sets, it mimics your natural lip colour.

Starting 2016 Right

Doodle Planner

Hello 2016!!! Please be good to me :)

2015 had been a good year for me and hopefully yours too. All the memories dates and time are very precious. Now this 2016, start it by writing your new years resolution and planning things on the best track ever! 

Here I bought my very own artsy planner for 2016. It is by filed 

As an artist, I really adore how detailed and witty the planner looks. I fell for it and bought it. Respect to the artist @markdeanlim who designed the planner

You can doodle colors in front and the back cover of the planner. Did I mention it 's hard bound, yes it is, unlike any other ordinary planner, this planner is very sturdy that it can stand on its own.

This planner contains no exact date, that can be done by DIY numbering of days or even years. Storing it for decades might be aswell a perfect planner for the next 10 years. Great huh 😄

I bought this planner at Scribe SM Aura for only P595.00. Scribe has amazing art materials that would supply your artsy needs. Visit them scribewritingessentials

Have a great 2016 yall! :D

Contemporary '95 x Style

Fall OOTD // Contemporary '95

Fall is finally here, and here are some good finds for that classy fall outfit.

You do not have to spend much, you just have to look gorgeous.

Going for some naughty nude lips? Check out Flormar (SM department store) you would definitely love this brand for makeup. Quality and Affordability for all occasions, is definitely a must.

The top I am wearing is from Outplay. It was on the rack sale, which I got for only P499.00. It may be big, but fashion hack will do the trick. Wanna change the mood of your closet?

Mustard and nudes are definitely in for the fall this season, check out mall stores: Forever 21, H&M, Zara and Mango

Another good buy from a good brand. The velvet green shorts is from The United Colors of Benetton for only P299.00 on Sale, not bad, getting the quality and brand for a good cost.

The shoes I'm wearing is from H&M, Cochella Edition for only P700. To customize it a bit, i added a b&w checker socks for a more detailed look. 

Planning for some shopping? I recommend months as January, February, July and December. Good Brand and Quality will be in your hands.

Not a fan of wearing too much accessiories but, a watch will be fine.

Watch: Epozz (rose gold)

Never forget a good clutch, stay fabulous  ;)
