Baseball

A comfortable look for Maxine's christening. Of course, there is nothing more comfortable than a cropped top worn over a bodycon dress. It's the easiest, least obvious way to wear something body-hugging without worrying about tummy flab. Don't you just think it's the perfect outfit combo for food-tripping? Sure enough, I really ate my heart out that day--with no inhibitions!

My take on the famous kitty-cat pose. Sorry. HAHA

Velvet and Gumballs

There's something about velvet that makes me feel expensive. The way it reflects light and shifts the gloss with movement is just majestic. I then envision carpeted floors and heavy capes of ancient royalty. Now, velvet is associated with rockstar edginess that shouts, "I'm a toughie. Don't mess with me." 

Print on print topped the style charts last 2012; On this first day of 2013, I am channeling velvet on velvet--two pieces of velvet clothing with different textures that show different degrees of amazing under the afternoon sun. And because I cannot NOT be colorful, I accessorized with my favorite neon candies from Superb Finds and The Couple Store to salvage my identity; while velvet's cousin, suede, became the perfect shoes. The more will always be the merrier. Hence, an additional light reflector, this metallic purse from GIFI Clothing, just had to be added. 

How do you like my outfit? :)

A happy cupcake for a happy new year!

I received countless, unexpected opportunities last 2012 because of all your support. Whatever this blog has achieved, I owe all that from you, dear readers, sponsors, friends, and family who continually believe in me despite my struggling life in medschool. 

I started with zero followers, my family and less than ten friends as readers, to gaining international readers, meeting real blogger friends, blog sponsors who ended up as friends, and photographers extraordinaire who helped me with my outfit photos without any sort of compensation. You all know who you are. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! 

You can now reach my blog via-- www.wearismela.com! Again, thank you so much, everyone! Let's all hope and pray and work for an even better year ahead. :)

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?
