Summer Getaway

Hello!

Been a long time. I need to update more often. Lots of things have changed. I think I will blog more often from now on. I missed this space and I think I am up for a revamp.

Anyway, I will go to Cebu this coming month of August! Zaful has asked me to pick out clothes from their store and it is such perfect timing as I need a new bikini / swimwear for the Cebu trip. Cebu has lots of good beaches and my sister has been planning this trip for a long time.

Zaful was so generous enough to give me $30 to spend on their store. For other online stores I think $30 is just one piece of something but in Zaful I got to pick 4 items! Isn't that a steal?! Also for my readers, they have a special code. Just use ZFEN when you checkout. :)

Back to which items I picked. I took my sweet time (like 2 hours, I know, I can get lost in all the clothes tell me about it) and picked these:

1. PALM TREE SUIT

Obsessed with one-piece suits! This one is perfect. I hope it fits me when it gets delivered.

2. PINK SUNGLASSES

This is all over Instagram and used by everyone. I like the look and I don't care if everyone has them ha ha! I think I'll use this so much because it is so hot out! Super excited for this one and it is so damn cheap, only $7.90!

3. CHIFFON OFF-THE-SHOULDER BLOUSE

Again this is me bandwagon-ing, but I have not found this style of an off-shoulder top that I liked. It is plain but can be dressed up in all sorts of ways. Super excited to mix this in with my wardrobe.

4. LACE CHOKER

Oh come on, this is the perfect partner to that off-shoulder blouse. It is super cute and super fun and I don't have a choker yet so I am late in the choker party.

If I had extra cash I would've picked some of the dresses in the Black Dress Maxi section. These can be worn at night in the seaside! Also I like their selection of cute Midi Dresses which are super flowy and perfect for me as I don't really like super tight dresses. I need to breathe!

Anyway, they are having a summer sale and hop on right to their website to know more:

I will update you as soon as I receive their package. Will let you know what I think about them and how they fit!

FOR SUGAR AND SPIKE

Sugar For Spike is pleased to announce the release of its debut collection editorial lookbook.

The inspiration behind the lookbook comes from two friends, looking for an escape from the perfectionism and commercialism of their city, where they stumble into a “secret” underground hangout to have a little carefree fun. 

Dancing and twirling throughout the night, and forgetting whom they are and what the world deems as appropriate behaviour, they end up discovering that the liberation from the night out will be one of the memories they will treasure about their youth. 

The collection is slated to release at select retailers and online at sugarforspike.com on 7^th August 2014. The line is also available for pre-order now, with free international shipping. Closing date for pre-orders is 10^th July 2014.

Un-updated no more

Hey Hey! How are you guys? Anyway just a little post before I eat lunch. Not an updated in a year huh? I've been a little busy with school works and the likes. Mostly partying (joke!) but in all seriousness. I've been a little busy but now back to blogging. I missed posting!

Will have more blogs with reviews soon because my make up kit's been piling up! (Freebies from ninongs and titas and titos hehehe).

Sorry about the weird short post because I just wanted to post! Hehehe!

My hair's now longer than before and I kinda hate/love it. Hate it because it's too hot here but love it because I finally do not get mistaken for a boy. Hahaha!

That is all. Expect more posts from me! :)

How to: Girly and Feminine Looks

So this is a post on how to pull off a girly and feminine look if you're just in the mood to dress up! Just some suggestions to get you going.

Dress up... literally

One way of being all girly is picking out a dress. You wanna go with pastel colors but I personally prefer nudes and peach dresses. They are very flattering on any kind of skin color and body build. Like this dress from Romwe:

(here)

Nothing says a girly girl than pink! If you have a larger tummy (like me) I think an empire cut dress would be more comfy. You wanna go with something flowy not super duper fit. If you're on the chubby side, it would still look awesome.

Try these other outfits if you're not comfy with dresses:

Makeup...

Blush is a key component in looking all feminine. It's important to pick a pink peachy blush with a more natural look than corals and reds. I love The Body Shop's Lip and Cheek Tint. It's a bit pricey (P795) but it looks natural and feels natural.

Go for tints. If you like powder blushes more, I recomment Clinique's blushes! I have a sample size of their blush which I don't have with me right now, but it kinda looks scary because it has shimmer, but once you put it on your face the shimmer disappears.

Softness is key, so I wouldn't apply a dark eyeliner over my eyes, maybe a hint of brown eyeshadow and mascara would be awesome.

You wanna focus on the cheeks and lips. I would wear a pinky almost your-lips-but-better kinda lipstick.

So that's it for this "fashion" tutorial. Hope you learned a lot. :) I am actually inspired to write this because I am really in the mood to dress up as girly as possible these past few days.
