Winter is Coming

This look was inspired by the phenomenal medieval fantasy series, Game of Thrones. I can't deny my deepest admiration to the creators, writers, realistic production and most especially to the characters of the series. My heart is for the Starks, but my will to watch it overnight goes to the ever greedy, ruthless and fierce queen,
Cersei Lannister. 

She is willful, ambitious, and cunning in the sense that she is utterly willing to betray anyone who trusts her, or do anything to protect her own. However, she is also arrogant and self-centered to a fault. While she certainly believes herself to be a master strategist, she is extremely impatient, short-sighted, and displays poor judgement, making her actually not very skilled at manipulating enemies who openly do not trust her. In public, Cersei often tries to exude a sense of calm and regal control over her surroundings. However, when things do not go her own way Cersei's usual response is to become extremely flippant, even when the assembled Small Council is trying to give her advice which would serve her own interests.

 How cruel is that? If I could be bad, I could be as mad as her. Fighting not for fame or power, but for the fullness of a wonderful joyous life for my love ones.

Hard Flesh: Du Manille A/W 2012 Collection

Combined with DU Manille’s signature minimalism and modern silhouettes, the AW 2012 collection ‘HARD FLESH’ goes deeper and edgier with plays of contrasting textures and fabrics—from cotton to leather, jerseys and spikes—setting up the mood for those who are not afraid of taking chances when it comes to style. The brand also steps out with bright, bold prints and even pops of color. The collection has undertaken more ground, as DU Manille presents jackets, skirts, tights, and accessories, along with their basic tops, all of which still embody everyday comfort, wearability, and stylishness.

What I like most about DU? The unexpected contrasting textures of leather and cotton fabrics. The subtleness of cotton and edginess of leather brings out the rocker-laid-back-chic inside of me.

What about you? Find what suits you here.

Dare to be DU

DU is a German pronoun that means You.

 

I always look forward for summer and spring season. Wearing light fabrics and fresh colors gives me a good feeling. Setting trend is a challenge and it takes a lot of courage and preparation to make it effective. Seeing black and white for spring/summer is something to look forward to. What would it be like?

Here's the sneek peek. Black and white for spring and summer is the new trend.

Hearing Du Manille’s launch for their first ever Spring/Summer collection this coming August 30 makes me feel excited. Keep in touch by liking it on facebook and following them on blog.

I dare you to be DU.

He loves me KNOT

Longlocks adds definition to every girl’s femininity. To maintain your crowning glory, you should take care and take time to protect your hair. Shampooing and conditioning regularly makes your hair manageable. I don’t have enough time to fix my hair and spend time in front of the mirror before going to work every day. A one time comb-after-bath throughout the day is enough for me and that’s it. I was thinking of how to fix my hair without any hassle that would not take much of my time, until I found this.

He loves me?..He loves me KNOT.

Birthday Wishlist

These things are my basic necessities for now.

I will be happier on my birthday if all these stuff will also be present.

Thank you.

Office shoes

When I received my first payslip from my new job, there's an allotted amount for uniform allowance. So..what to do with it? Spend it for the right reason. At the office, we don't have dress code- we are free to wear whatever we want except for clothes that will make you look indecent and disrespectful. I used to wear heels but this time, I should wear the comfy-est flats or sneakers.

A very comfy yet stylish espadrille is my new office shoes. :)

This pink floral lace-ups is only 599php from Parisian.
You can also find it here.

Effortless beauty

Walking with 3 inches above heels can elevate your confidence.
Wearing rubber shoes and flat shoes elevates your comfortableness.
Dressing outrageously can catch others attention.
Dressing simplicity makes you feel steady.

Tiis-Ganda that's what they called it.
occurs when you do things sacrificially for beauty's sake.

define your features but look effortless.

Steps to achieve it:

have your devotion and meditation.

it starts from within.

feel good about yourself.

You are what you think.
Don't exaggerate, keep it low.

Be realistic.
You can wear anything you want but be sure it's appropriate.

Wear light! wear things you can carry comfortably.

Make-up. Don't be afraid to wear make up, experiment.
Start with a good foundation that will blend to your skin or use BB cream.
A simple eyeliner and lipstick will do.


Clothes. Wear anything you can carry without regrets.

Hair.If you can't handle it, loose it! :) 


Shoes. Women loves shoes. Don't deprive yourself wearing high heels once in a while.
Enjoy being a woman.

Important: 
Stop comparing. Search for your own identity .

then say Hello! :)
