Tutti Frutti

One of the easiest go-to looks is sporty chic.

Now, "sporty chic" mustn't necessarily look like your usual gym outfit. 

It's a comfortable and effortless ensemble made classy by a key piece--high heels.

All you need is a loose top or jersey shirt paired with short shorts. 

Some finish everything off with a baseball cap or sunnies. But like every signature look, never ever forget the key piece--high heels. You can choose from pumps, t-straps, platforms, ankle-straps--anything except running shoes. Though sneaker wedges can be an exception, it's always best to wear heels to channel that sporty vibe in a less stereotypical manner.

This is my version of sporty chic.

What do you think?

And because it's awkward taking Instagram photos in the salon, this post is also dedicated to welcome my new hair color for the semester! Yipee.

Back On Track

I daydream a lot. And oftentimes, I don't get schoolwork done promptly because I spend 70% of the time thinking of what if's and what could be's. Tonight, I will make one of my daydreams happen by posting outfit photos with a hopeless hope that my motivation to study will be restored--that I will finish what's ought to be done--so that I can finally have some guiltless, well-deserved weekend sleep.

Rip It!

Hello, everyone!

This is just a quick post before I finally devote my time to studying. One of my 2013 Blog Resolutions is to re-vamp my style. All these years, I have been so much fond of colors. But despite the youthfulness and energy that they exude, the thrill of wearing them is slowly waning. I don't ever want that to happen because colorful is ME. So to make myself miss colors a little, I will temporarily shift to basics--black, white and nude--on my upcoming posts. 

Thank goodness, Ms. Stephanie of GIFI Clothing sent over closet must-haves that somehow, I am guilty of not having--white tops. And they aren't just ordinary white tops, they have surprise rips here and there! I am so excited to style and show you the others. :D Clearly, I am not a T-shirt person but this is what a new year is all about, right? New finds and new adventures!

Hype this on LOOKBOOK.nu.

Aside from re-vamping my style, I also have updating my blog header and layout on the list. Notice the larger photos! Spent the whole afternoon "designing" a new header but I believe it's just not good enough. :( Someone help me, please? My sidebar widgets are next. But yes, one weekend at a time!

How did your week go?


Much love,
Mela

I'm With The Band

I love roadtrips! I don't mean the usual Iloilo-Roxas route I take on free weekends. It's the kind where my Dad drives and Mom's on the front seat magically handling us unlimited food whenever we feel like eating. So I spent two days of the long weekend on the road like that and ah, I must have gained at least 3 kilos from nonstop pigging! I'm no skilled traveller/driver, but I have to say that the Sapian-Aklan-Antique Highway is the best yet here in Panay. I didn't feel motion-sick, at all. 

It wasn't so tacky pulling a travel outfit off with all the comfy, interesting pieces that GIFI Clothing sent over. This sleeveless top is one of my favorites. I couldn't have achieved an androgynous look without it (and the fedora, of course!). Hand me an electric guitar and I can count as a musician on-tour. Haha, I wish! What do you think?
