Blues Clues

When I said that blue was my favorite color, I wasn't lying. There is something so fresh, chic, and a flair of effortless sophistication about it that I simply can't say "no" when I see it on the rack (or in my own closet). When I was shopping and saw this blue pants, I knew I had to have it!


This is another repeat, though. I've been quite notorious for doing that, but in the end that was my intent when I started this blog in the first place. I wanted to showcase different ways to create casual but chic styles using pieces that I have in my closet. Because, after all, who has the luxury of money to purchase fashion pieces and then wear them only once, right? Not me! The top is a new one, though. Love the floral details around the neckline, too.

Shopping My Own Closet

When it comes to shopping, I'm as impulsive as one can get. I walk into a shop and spot something then I would be happily walking out of the shop with my new top or dress. Sometimes, I even stop to think if it's becoming an unhealthy habit for me. As an adult, as I would like to consider myself now, I feel like I should be more responsible about how I spend my money. The boyf and I are already in the stage of building our own home so being wise about how I spend my money is a vital attribute to have. 


Thankfully, those years of impulse shopping in the past won't go for naught. I've made it a habit to keep checking my closet from time to time for items that I haven't worn for a year or two. My mom recently suggested that I put them out for a garage sale, but I did not want to end up selling items that I might still want to wear down the road. After all, these were items that I coveted at some point!


Here is another haul from my own closet. This lilac ruffled top was bought online and used to be a favorite. But when I kept adding new stuffs to my closet, it seems to have been forgotten - tucked somewhere in my closet, hidden from view. So when I stumbled onto it while rummaging through my "old" clothes, I thought of a great idea to style it with my blue lace skirt. 

How do you reinvent old items off your closet?

Style Crush: Blogger Faves #3

I can't believe that this edition of my blogger favorites is already on its third... I mean, it's been fun checking different blogger styles and lusting over gorgeous shoes, dress, what have you. But this week might have to be the toughest one yet. All these gorgeous fashion bloggers have really stepped up their game as far as fashion styling is concerned.

For this week, I subconsciously picked out styles that had a recurring theme - stylish and colorful bottoms! Last time out, there were cute dresses and skirts that were the perfect homage to the season. This week, though, is all about simple yet sophisticated styles. 

Without further adieu, I introduce to you my favorite fashion blogger styles this past week. Enjoy!


Do you know any of these fashionistas? Which look was your favorite?

Personalized Tees for a Unique Style Statement

Anyone who knows me is aware that I am up for anything that makes a style statement without going broke. I mean, with the wide range of clothing options in the market, it is easy to achieve a unique style that lets you stand out from the crowd without necessarily spending a hefty amount for it. It is all about knowing where to look so you can land your hands on some great deals! But what if I tell you that getting your own personalized tees is now cheaper than ever? This is the best option for those who want to exhibit their own personal style without breaking the bank. 

 Choosing Custom Clothing Manufacturers

The first step in sporting unique tees is to find a clothing manufacturer that can create custom designs for you. If you search the web, you will be overwhelmed by the volume of companies that offer such custom printing services. It is therefore your job to filter through them in order to choose one that offer quality shirts and equally impressive custom designs or prints. 

If you can, opt for companies that allow you to create your own designs. That way, you can have the liberty to choose whatever suits your liking as far as personalized tshirts are concerned. But if you do not have a design concept to begin with, manufacturers that offer design samples can help you pick a style that would suit your preference.

Price & Print Quality

The best printers of custom tees offer quality shirts to begin with. It does not matter how great your design concept is, if the quality of the shirt is not up to par then you’re still on the losing end. Quality of the fabric is the primary consideration for me when buying new clothes. And you should, too, when it comes to choosing custom clothing manufacturers. After all, you can’t proudly strut your custom tees if the shirt does not feel comfortable, can you? 

The technology used in t-shirt printing is also a vital consideration. I’ve had experiences in the past wherein t-shirt prints peel off after a single wash. Go for custom shirt companies that use high quality ink and printing methods to ensure that the prints stick and won’t peel off quickly, making it look cheap and unprofessionally done. 

Custom clothing manufacturers always seek out ways to deliver the best for their customers. Thus, you shouldn't settle. If you are willing to invest on custom tees that offer a unique style, you have to make it worth it the attention!

Tribal Craze


I'm noticing a pattern in few of my recent purchases wherein a lot of the items I picked up were made of tribal/aztec prints. It seems as though the bug hit me. But who can resist? Tribal and aztec prints are the easiest way to add more pizzaz to a casual look. 


Case in point: this new tribal print top that I picked up. I paired it with dark skinnies and added a statement necklace. Statement necklaces never fail to revv up a basic tee or patterned tee even when paired with skinny jeans.

How do you spice up your everyday outfit?




The boyf and I attempted a selfie after doing these shoots and it didn't turned out so well. Lesson learned: selfies aren't made for me. Better luck next time! How was your weekend?

Floral Obsession


It's official - I'm obsessed with floral! If you've been reading this blog for some time now, then you might have noticed I do have quite a few floral pieces that I've featured. But that's not even half of what's actually in my closet. 


Here's one of the latest floral pieces I've added into my growing collection. It feels so feminine to wear and I bet it does look like it, too. The fabric is also sheer, which means I don't have to tell you how comfortable and light it feels to wear but I am going to go ahead and point that out, anyway. Also paired it with black leggings and black peep-toe pumps for a simple and sophisticated feminine style!

Thoughts on my floral ensemble?

Fash Love: Boyfriend Jeans

Skinny jeans and leggings are wardrobe staples for me. These bottoms are my default choices when I want to style something casual yet chic and comfy. But there's one particular style of jeans that I haven't dared put on yet - boyfriend jeans. Being that I am petite, I stick to my wardrobe staples for maximum styling effect. I fear that the cutoff at the end might cut the length of my legs, though I can't deny that I've been meaning to try a distressed jean so I am a bit torn on this one.

This does not mean, however, that I am completely averting the idea of exploring other jeans styles. I've been spotting a lot of boyfriend jeans on the web and on celebrities lately. It's even a great piece to add some edgy vibe to your look.

I've found a few great boyfriend jeans online that I am lusting over and wish to magically appear in my closet:
