Where The Palm Trees Grow

By Mela D. on Tuesday, April 01, 2014

Hello everyone!

It's our favorite time of the year again! We won't really mind getting tan because sun-kissed skin and beach trips are going to be a hit this season of vacation. You are extremely lucky, my loves, to still experience summer break because the least I can do now is to just wear it on my dress. Today is the first day of the season of clinical clerkship--my last year in med school, how time flew! I could only hope that the 365 days will fly by just as fast.

Here's an easy-breezy look to handle a typical, scorching summer day.

This shirt dress from Aupie is perfect for lazy days when you don't want to spend much time ransacking your closet for comfy summer combinations. It's lightweight and not so demanding in terms of accessories because the canvas print pretty much stands on its own. If only I could silently disappear during duty hours and enter the relaxing world of colorful birds and palm trees like the one on this dress...

What do you think of this outfit?

Show some love and hype this on Lookbook.nu and Chictopia. :)

Today's also What, When and Wearabouts' (this blog's) 3rd anniversary! Happy birthday to my blogger self and thank goodness for community rotations!

Greetings from Igbaras,

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. ;)

I'm not really comfortable with cats around. So it's tad ironic how I'm wearing more and more faces of creatures from the Family Felidae on my tops and dresses lately. There's something tame and delicate about their eyes (plus the fact that they're not alive and moving) that's getting me more hooked with the trend. Thankfully, Aupie.com was very supportive of my growing addiction and was so kind to send over this cat-face print dress.

This is actually a no brainer ensemble. I've been busy and would often just grab whatever I can from my closet. Hence, the cat-face print dress and leopard booties combo. It was so easy to pull-off but of course, I had to let my girly side out somehow with a floral crown from Rackeight. Isn't it such a standout? I know most girls are still hesitant to wear floral headdresses but it's just a matter of mixing and balancing pieces. Aside from this outfit inspiration, try wearing them with your favorite over-sized tee, denim shorts and gladiator sandals for an effortless look.

Follow @rackeight on Instagram and Facebook for more floral crowns and adorable pieces!
This dress is also available in grey so better visit Aupie.com by clicking their banner below. :)

Have a fun weekend, loves!

Much love,

Mela

Of Studs And Studying

By Mela D. on Saturday, July 27, 2013

School bag, meet my readers.

Readers, this is my school bag. :)

School can be really cool with a studded leather and waterproof backpack like this from Yhansy but it's definitely cooler with a studded backpack + good grades. I am currently struggling with Endocrinology and there is no way to pass than to study and to push myself harder.

This is gonna be a long weekend with Steroidgenesis and the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System so I won't keep this post long. I wish you all good vibes and I hope you like my patternistic skirt from OhKayGanda Boutique as much as I do. They really know what stuff I fancy! I'll be posting more patternistic looks featuring their bottoms soon. As of now, check out @ohkaygandaboutique on Instagram.

You just might find something you like!

Much love,

Mela

Milkmaid

By Mela D. on Monday, June 24, 2013

One of the sadder moments in my life was when I forgot to bring my brown satchel with me last weekend.

It was honestly pathetic how sad I was over it...but really. Imagine a bag sitting on the empty space just next to me in the photos below. I wouldn't have looked so alone with an imaginary friend. It would have been sweeter and more retro. :(

Luckily, I had the prettiest neon dress in the world that just so happened to have floral embroidery all over it. I didn't even need to accessorize. It was an accessory of its own. There's something about vintage/retro looks that's been keeping me hooked lately. This time, I was inspired by early-century milkmaids in England. Makeup and hairstyling were easy-peasy because everything I needed was in the

June BDJ Box! My unboxing experience will be posted here soon.

FashSin City

By Mela D. on Tuesday, May 28, 2013

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

I say what happens in Vegas' hotel casinos aren't just endless partying and gaming but over-the-top fashion shows with endless street style inspirations as well.

Needless to say, fashion weeks are bookmarked events of bloggers. Covering a show opens huge doors of opportunities--from connecting with brands and designers, to gaining friendships with other fashion bloggers, to finding outfit updates and inspirations, to being photographed and featured by fashion police.

It is my dream to be a regular attendee of fashion shows. I'd love to say yes to all invites if only I live in my country's capital city, Manila. But a probinsyana blogger has to do what a probinsyana has to do. And that is, to inspire and be inspired. :)

For this look, I was inspired by Ethical and Ethnic themes of the recent May 2013 Las Vegas Fashion Week. The designers' creations were bold, modern, and patternistic. I always thought that Vegas-inspired fashion is limited to the glitz and glam and the sexy but seeing playful elegance walking along Vegas runways erased my crooked disposition. Indeed, Las Vegas isn't just Sin City, it is a FashSin City!
