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!

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,

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

My Kind of Colorful

Hello! How's everything going?

I got the chance to model for Mizar Clothing's October and November collections. Because I always have my outfit photos taken outdoors, this experience was really a challenge for me. I also haven't met the shop owners, Mimi and Zarah, in person yet as pre-shoot transactions were only done online and via SMS. Nevertheless, I decided to just hope for the best and embrace the opportunity. 

The October shoot was consist of three collections: Galaxy, Floral, and Spikes and Stripes. While the one for November was Le Chic, which I blogged about here--Le Chic by Mizar Clothing. I know this post is long overdue but yayyy 'cause this is just in time for Mizar Clothing's Everything Must Go SALE! Some items here are still available and are currently at the lowest prices!

HMUA: Mimi Tsai

Styling: Zarah Bayani and Mimi Tsai

Thanks again, Mizar Clothing family, for getting me!

Have you eyed something nice already? Check their page now. :)

Pardon me for the repetitive hair-scrunching poses. I couldn't help it--I just loved the hairstyling so much. If only my hair could look like that everyday! Cheers to Mimi for my makeup, too. She did a really amazing job with my eyes. I honestly don't look that "awake" on ordinary days because my eyes are naturally droopy. Now, I really should include "learning how to do my own eye makeup" on my 2013 bucketlist. :|

I'm down to the last three days before classes resume. Just two more posts after this and I'll see you all again on weekends. :( Sad, but goals first before leisure! By the way, the winners for my WWW x Superb Finds and The Couple Store Giveaway will be announced anytime soon. Have a blessed new year, everyone!

Much love,

Mela
