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!
And please visit OMG Fashion UK. :)
I'm sure that you'll fall in love with their products as well!

Much love,

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. ;)

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!

Not so confident with my curves here but I'm hoping that my weekly yoga sessions and DIY core conditioning workouts would show some good results in time for the fambam beach trip next month. :)

This dress from Persunmall really cost me a lot of courage to wear. I will forever regret not choosing a medium. But since the dress couldn't let itself fit me, might as well figure a way to make myself fit into it.

My two favorite parts of this dress are: the side slit (interestingly compensates the dress' length) and the cat's heterochromic irises (though I think I'd freak out if I'd bump into a real animal with eyes like such). Persunmall will always be special to me being the first ever international shopping website that sent me a sponsorship email. Love you guys!

La Belle Rose

By Mela D. on Wednesday, August 28, 2013

Like any other girl, I love getting flowers.

Boys have no idea how even just a simple flower can transform a girl's random day into something extraordinary. Sometimes I think that I'm a hopeless romantic boy trapped in a girl's body. I always have crazy surprises in mind and I hope that I could put them all to good use for the right person when the right time comes. :)

As for now, here's an extra special outfit post featuring this floral dress from Sheinside.

I couldn't think of a sweeter way to wear this dress than to just wear it as it is. I loved the silky feel on my skin and the thin petticoat underneath that made the dress bounce as I walked. This is something that I'd definitely love to wear on a dinner date or to a wedding. Because the dress was too pretty, I didn't bother much on accessories except for a few gold details like this gold cocktail ring from Chemjoy.com.

Just to show that the above set of photos was already my second attempt on having this outfit photographed. Boo. I had camera, lighting and OC issues at first but thanks to my mom for being so patient. Here's a lucky shot from that shoot.
