The Girl Behind the Pen

Oftentimes, the photos we see online are either enhanced a little or deeply retouched especially when it comes to editorial magazines. So people need to realize that it is not always what it seems online and in glossy magazines.

Good thing, with the fashion industry inching towards representation of diversity, more brands and public figures have been embracing the authenticity of beauty.

Perhaps some would think that posting these photos takes a lot of courage because of my tiger stripes but to me, it's just another beach photo. I've never been ashamed of my stretch marks.

Out of the two seasons we have here in the Philippines, summer is the one I'm more excited about. I love dressing up like it's forever summer. Even on rainy days, I’m more likely to reach for a simple dress or relaxed type of clothing, rather than structured or detailed pieces I love wearing throughout the rest of the year.

During my recent trip to Cebu, I only brought pieces that are lightweight and comfy to wear which include several swimsuits, airy tops and shorts, and this co-ords (short for coordinates) from Kindle Clothing. 

I've been meaning to buy co-ords for quite a time now because I love how stylish they are and the fact that you can pair them with anything you like. It's like a romper or jumpsuit. But the best thing about it is, you won't have to take off everything when going to pee or... ;)

This shot was taken at The Pyramid in Cebu City. The place resembles to that of Louvre Museum in Paris but in Cebu, it's not a museum but a restaurant inside. It's a great location for shoots, too.

Part of my bucket list is to visit Cebu and Bohol. I've seen beautiful photos of them online and heard good stories about how fun and amazing those places are. So when my mom told me that we'll be going there, imagine how excited I was.

But we couldn't roam the whole city as we only have the weekend to explore because this was quite a spontaneous trip.

Why not?

Okay, it's very obvious that when traveling, a lot of walking and perhaps, running, are included in the itinerary. With heels, you couldn't just roam all day, right? So the best and safest option would be a pair of flats or sneakers.

But sometimes, they ain't stylish enough to rock the ootd you've been planning to post on Instagram. While the above mentioned could really save us, wearing the right pair of heels wouldn't hurt us. Trust me, they're existing because I found one! 

The reason I love these platforms is because I could literally walk all day with them and it feels like I'm not wearing heels at all, no exaggeration involved here. The fact that it's really trendy and comfy, it's a total score already.

I'm not saying the nicest review of the platforms just because this is sponsored but because I really mean it. In fact, this is my second pair already, the exact same heels I had back when I was in college.
