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!

Figure Skirting

By Mela D. on Saturday, August 24, 2013

This is what happens when my inner '50s goddess gets awakened.
Sometimes it's just refreshing to dress like you came from another decade.
I've always seen trends as ever-reincarnating and innovating; and the revival of the '50s fashion is something that I've been wishing to happen. In this generation of cutouts, short shorts and bandage dresses, being trendy may mean wearing prints on prints and bright colors but going back to the '50s just proves that we can still look fashionable in sweet pastels and long A-line skirts without exposing much skin.

This Teapot Lounge Tee from Traffic People actually set the '50s mood for me. If you happen to browse their website, almost all of their collections are in whites or pastels--perfect for days when you feel like being a sweet, girly-girl.

The fair, windy weather ushered my artsy side as well.

I especially loved how this maxi skirt from Choies created various figures as I twirled around.

This is actually on of my favorites OOTDs. Taking these photos was so much fun! And would you believe that my mom was behind these photographs?

Completed this vintage look with a turban and my favorite Prada-esque sunnies.

I added some gold accents for a little boho touch. This cocktail ring from

Chemjoy.com is such a stunner. Apart from cutouts and bejeweled details, it's also very affordable at only $1.99! Chemjoy.com has the prettiest accessories with the lowest prices. They offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING too!

Lookie lookie, the skirt just formed mini ocean waves and a flower!

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Viva Vintage

By Mela D. on Saturday, June 15, 2013

My first week of school was a bit rough.
As much as I was so eager to have sleepless nights spent with studying bones and muscles, I had study-less nights instead. Last school year's unfinished extracurricular duties badly haunted me--consuming even my lunchbreaks. Sometimes I wish I kept my passion for journalism to myself since Day One. But since I committed myself to this already, might as well make the most of it. :)

Phew! On a lighter note, I finally received this beautiful vintage dress from Fleet Collection!
Well, it's not totally vintage. It's vintage with a twist! 1950's fashion was about midi skirts and dresses with puffy sleeves. This dress may have cutout details at the back but I never felt so bare because its length ran down to my knees. That's why I've always adored Fleet Collection's sweet and classy dresses. Their designs are all-original and handmade, hence, you can always feel their love all the way from L.A.

I decided to stick with nude and basic shades like black and white for my accessories.

It's not difficult to style vintage pieces, really. Just think of Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe or Zooey Deschanel in New Girl and you'll get by effortlessly. You don't have to steal fake flowers from your living room like I did, though. HAHA. Promise, I just took them out for outfit post purposes.

Kids, DO NOT TRY THIS OUTSIDE HOME.
