The Girl Behind the Pen

An unpredictable weather makes it hard for people to dress up. Whether it's gonna rain or not, you have to be your own forecaster to make sure your outfit suits the day. And because Manila weather is being bipolar these days, I made sure that what I wear could get through the sun and rain.

Still torn between the summer vibe and cold weather-appropriate outfit? Why choose if you can wear them both? 

This classic look makes its way to the Instagram feed of so many girls. It doesn't have to be complicated. You just need a dress, a denim jacket and a pair of sneakers to pull off this ensemble.

When I saw the mermaid dress trend, I thought it was something that's not for me. The style looks uncomfortable with its body-hugging pencil skirt but when I tried it, everything has changed. Seriously.

Contrary to my impressions before, the mermaid dress isn't hard to wear. I can move freely and comfortable. Especially this one from Gamiss, from the cotton fabric to the trendy stripes print, it's absolutely one of the best dresses I have. To be honest, I'm using this for like at least twice a month!

If you'd ask me to choose between a black and pink dress, I would obviously go for the latter. I've never been a fan of black or any dark-colored pieces. I always go for the light tones, pastel and of course, pink. So back then, I didn't understand why a little black dress is a wardrobe staple. I didn't understand why other ladies have the need to own one or two, until the day I have to wear one.

I have a lot of dresses but when a certain event I'm attending to has a black color-coded theme, I just realized I don't have anything to wear and it stressed the hell out of me 'cause hello, who wants to spend for something you know you don't like and won't use regularly, right? But girl, an LBD is a wardrobe essential. Why?

Three words: sleek, versatile and classic.  

Like this swing dress I got from Rosegal. I'm actually surprised at how comfortable it is when worn. Though it's kind of long for me, it's still manageable. I like how the stripes give a shape to my body. 

Korean fashion is almost everywhere. With the booming K-Pop and of course, Korean dramas, Filipinas have taken their fashion style to the next level.

I must admit, since I watched the Descendants of the Sun, I was totally hooked with Korean fashion. It's very cute, clean, chic and girly. Though this style might be a sore to some, still there are girls who'd like to pull it off and unleash the Korean in them. So, I've listed the basic must-have pieces to help you slay it like a true Korean fashion girl.

I often get questions about the outfits and colors to consider when shooting in a field or forest-like location. So now, I'm sharing some tips on how to pull-off an outdoor shoot.
