Metamorphosis

By Mela D. on Thursday, October 31, 2013

I feel so blessed to be chosen as one of OMG Fashion UK's fashion reviewers.

They have the most unique dresses and this one is perhaps my favorite. It's amazing how a one-piece garment can have so many interesting details. The aztec patterns on the sleeves, the butterfly stamp print, and the baroque figures work perfectly well together.

Wore the dress with heelless shoes and my yellow retro sunnies from Foymall for an Andre Chang-inspired look. If only I was in Manila a few days ago, I'd wear something like this to the Philippine Fashion Week!

My first attempt to style this dress:

I later realized that it was a bad hair day so I had to wear my hair up and ditch the hat.

I loved the flowers in the background so much! I've always wanted to have an ootd shot at this area in San Antonio Resort. It felt like I was in a different world. :)

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

Let me know what you think about this outfit!
And please visit OMG Fashion UK. :)
I'm sure that you'll fall in love with their products as well!

Much love,

Mela

Comic Relief

By Mela D. on Thursday, October 24, 2013

How to get countless double takes from strangers?
Wear a Batman tunic dress and yellow goggle-like sunnies.
This whole outfit was so much of a scene stealer even if, deep inside, I really felt like just wearing my childhood pajamas with comics/cartoon character prints on them. I love how OMG Fashion produces unique and quirky dresses like this that make girls relive their fond childhood memories.

Of course, the yellow sunnies from Foymall weren't made for nothing. They smell and feel like Lego and I couldn't get enough of them that you might just see yellow instead of my real eyes in my next few outfit posts.

So here goes my own version of a 'playsuit'--literally. ;)

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

Sweet Sorbet (One Outfit, Three Ways)

By Mela D. on Monday, October 21, 2013

Hello guysss! :)

I'm finally back to my regular blogging routine! And to make up for the three-week hiatus, new posts will be published daily this sembreak. A series of giveaways are coming up in celebration of my birthday month as well, yahoo!

For now, here's my version of "One Outfit, Three Ways" featuring this sweet dress from Choies. I hope this inspires you to play with your accessories so you can also confidently wear the same dress and shoes in three different occasions!

1.) The Bride's College BFF.

This look is perfect for an outdoor (e.g. garden) wedding ceremony.

2.) Happy Birthday, Grandma!

For day-to-night family affairs like your Granny's birthday.

Removing the sunnies actually made this look simpler and sweeter. :)

3.) The School Fair.

Back in elementary and high school, wearing new clothes during campus events such as the Mission Sunday Fair, Christmas Parties and the Family Day Celebration seemed an unspoken rule for students. If I could turn back time, I'd wear something like this!

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

Which look did you like most? Let me know!

Aristocat

By Mela D. on Saturday, September 28, 2013

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

| dress: Persunmall | photos by Ralph Delfin |

Not so confident with my curves here but I'm hoping that my weekly yoga sessions and DIY core conditioning workouts would show some good results in time for the fambam beach trip next month. :)

This dress from Persunmall really cost me a lot of courage to wear. I will forever regret not choosing a medium. But since the dress couldn't let itself fit me, might as well figure a way to make myself fit into it.

My two favorite parts of this dress are: the side slit (interestingly compensates the dress' length) and the cat's heterochromic irises (though I think I'd freak out if I'd bump into a real animal with eyes like such). Persunmall will always be special to me being the first ever international shopping website that sent me a sponsorship email. Love you guys!

Sundate (feat. Sammy Dress Heels)

By Mela D. on Sunday, September 15, 2013

My ideal Sunday looks like this:

Going to Mass with my family then having lunch at Grandma's while I play with my favorite nephew, Basty. The fact that my granny will stay in the US for quite long and that I could barely go home on weekends now, with Sunday meals comprising mainly fastfood eaten in a very fast manner just so I can resume studying again, somehow makes me sad. Third year med school is slowly causing me to deviate from my usual norms of comfortable living; but then, this really is what taking the road less traveled entails.

Last week, I met up with my friend, Churchille, who just arrived from Singapore.

I haven't seen her for ages and it's such a shame how I was only able to spare her 20 minutes of my study time before I rushed to church for Mass. I am such a cool and loving friend. Yes. :|

Promise, I'll make it up to you soon Chillypink!

Anyway, here's what I wore on that day:

rabbit cocktail ring from Chemjoy

hairtie from Aupie.com | spiked denim vest from Rackeight

lace skirt from Sheinside

nude pumps from Sammydress

Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

I was in the mood for a sweet, girly number so I utilized lace and nude colors as the basic elements. The punk nature of this spiked, denim vest from Rackeight could be so deceiving that one might pair it with graphic leggings or ripped jeans by default. So I decided to match it with soft, earthy pieces like this lace skirt from Sheinside (that I also wore in this post), a tan handbag, and these nude pumps from Sammydress. They're my favorite pair so far and I love the fact that they're just of medium-height. That's style and comfort rolled into one. :)

I polished the look with a velvet hairtie from Aupie.com and this cutesy rabbit cocktail ring from Chemjoy.

Sporting something that's not as colorful as what I usually wear is such a breath of fresh air.

Hope you liked it too!

Head over these websites. I'm sure you'll find lots of nice stuff!
