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

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!

I'm sure that you'll fall in love with their products as well!

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!

Much love,

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

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!

I Heart You

By Mela D. on Wednesday, August 14, 2013

Living up to my blogger bio, it's always a colorful summer in my world indeed (even if at least 2 typhoons have already passed the country recently). I'm certainly not a t-shirt person but it's very difficult not to "heartily" welcome this top from Ahai Shopping in my closet. It's the concrete interpretation of "hearts all over the world" and I feel so inspired and jolly and so much loved just by being in it.

The bipolar weather had a good side after all, as well.

I needn't pretend that it's summer under gloomy skies because the sun shone so brightly during my weekend mornings in Roxas City despite the frequent afternoon showers. So I took out my beach hat from Sammydress that btw, made me feel like some top Lookbooker and these round, vintage sunnies from Chemjoy.com. I've long been looking for the perfect Lennon sunglasses and I'm so happy to have finally found the perfect pair. I hope you won't mind me wearing these sunnies a little more often on my future posts?
