Lola - Filipino word for Grandmother

Last January, I obtained what I call a lola skirt when I was in a post-holiday shopping state. I actually had second thoughts on buying it as I was afraid it might make me look shorter, but once I tried it on, I just couldn't let go of it anymore. I first wore the skirt on the first day of classes on our second semester. Clad in a long conservative skirt, I heard teasing from my friends that I look like a grandma. Also, they kept on giving me gestures for respecting the elder just for fun (like mano po, etc.) Instead of being sensitive about it, I laughed as well and teased myself too because they had a point about my look and it was kinda funny. Some people loved it on me but the funny comments kinda bothered me and got me thinking about the skirt.

I figured that maybe it's not the skirt that had a problem. It was probably me and the way I styled it so I thought of better ways to style it. When a friend of mine insisted on a photoshoot, this look popped into my head and that's when I made my lola skirt look young.

Christmas day is coming in 6 days! Are you guys excited? Here goes a chill street style OOTD for this week's entry. Since this holiday season has been indeed a cold and rainy one, I guess sweater is going to be my bestfriend once again. So, here I am gearing up with a sweater, skirt, and some accessories that can make the look extra special!

It has been months since I last posted and I can't lie that I missed blogging very much. I've been busy with my shopataraxia.com and with my internship at icaserafica.com lately. There are a bunch of things going on right now and I feel nothing but grateful. Holiday came in today, so me and my friend, Sam from editsbyredeye.com collaborated for a fun shoot at Intramuros earlier. It was a fun adventure and the vintage/classic style of the place is totally inspiring.We had two outfits for the shoot featuring an all white outfit that gives a minimalist vibe and another is a black and white look that gives a very cool street style vibe.

A year and a half ago, I made an outfit post where I expressed my love for nude color so here I am again expressing my love for nude with my two-piece dress that includes a crop top and a flouncy skirt from Zalora. A head-to-toe outfit from Zalora is what I'm showcasing to you for this week's entry. It was love at first sight when I bought this from Ashley Collection at Zalora since it looks so fab and sophisticated plus the price is really affordable. Whenever I need a dress for an event or occasion, I always check on Zalora because Zalora has dresses for every occasion that can make it easier for me to shop. They have a wide selection of dresses so it's easier for me to find what I'm looking for and the fact that they offer cash on delivery is a plus too!

So I went to Raffles Design Manila's Ascent grad/fashion show last night with my romper from SheIn (formerly SheInside). It was a great show showcasing the incredible talent of the newly graduates from Raffles Design Manila. I was truly worried before the event since I have nothing to wear but gratefully, my romper from SheIn finally came before the show so I felt relieved. The romper feels so comfy to wear and I can't stop lovin how classy it looks. If you want to to know more details about this jumpsuit click Here.

We couldn't find a white background so we landed here in a paint less wall with my color less outfit. Reaching back to off shoulders before the summer ends since I'm currently obsessed with it. We actually shot this last week but since I post one entry per week, I saved it for this week.

I should've posted this last Saturday but we were busy packing that time. After two weeks in Japan, we finally arrived home last night and it seems like the whole Japan adventure is just a dream and I still can't get over with the foods and how polite Japanese people are. It was a really great experience and I might blog my experience in Universal Studios Japan soon!

Showcasing something urban and youthful for this week's entry. It's our 8th day enjoying the country of Japan and pigging out Japanese foods (definitely yum). Got the chance to shop for sneakers on our third day at Japan and wore it on our 6th day when we shopped for new clothing. I'm achieving something sporty yet chic look where I can apply my own personal style. The batman shirt just popped out when I was looking for clothes on our travel bag and decided to come up with denim distressed shorts.

Cold shoulders for summer heat. As much as possible, I use minimal clothing since it's extremely hot in our country. Off shoulders top just gives that comforting feels for summer and it's just perfect to wear. I matched it with my comfy cute skirt that I've been wanting to wear since forever and now, I finally found a perfect pair with it!
