Speak and Style

Grunge by chichonheels featuring leather fringe shorts My inspiration for this look is a day to night androgynous outfit. If you live a busy life, it is very important that you dress smartly and the same time comfortably. This outfit basically screams BASIC. I mean look at those collared long sleeves and oxblood leather shorts, they are just the comfiest outfit yet for anyone who travels from one place to another. And of course, you want to dress up without being too chic and laid back especially when you are meeting a lot of people. This look is best for casual meetings and errands. Pairing the blouse and shorts with a gold lace-up heels is perfect for those who want to wear heels even on daily basis; the height is not too high, it will make you look at least a few inches taller. And I found this bag from Topshop, which is by the way very affordable but has the look of that expensive Celine luggage tote. Don't you agree? Personally this outfit, explains my frustr...

Do it like a dude by chichonheels featuring flat hats If I wanna go and kick some arse, I make sure this is the kind of outfit I would wear! lol. I was just projecting my second semester-first day of class jitters. Well, let's talk about my new session in virtual styling. So I know that I have been telling you over and over about my obsession on corsets and pencil skirts, I go crazy on them too much that I made another post for that. The reason this time is that I want to pull of the swag look.  In the Philippines, "swag" is just a classy term for jej outfits or simply to put it as offbeat fashion. However, in the fashion world you know what they say art is art and you can't simplify that definition just because. So I made my take on this "swag trend" by making my own version. Although, I was so much inspired with Miley Cyrus and her beautiful body so I made this post. For the outfit, I chose a white corset and a black leather pencil skirt ...

Max up the night with maxi dresses! I decided to do my take on maxi dresses because I've been obsessing on it these days. I never loved the idea of it at first but seeing these really stylish prints and designs made me change my mind. The thing about maxis though is that you can take it from day to night with making ample changes on your make up and shoes, you can definitely go along way. And what makes it super is that it is just so carefree and you don't have to move consciously to watch out for any peeping toms!  Watercolor hues are my favorite! The careless splash of colors into the material makes it so youthful and vibrant and always reminds you of summer. Don't we all love summer? Nudes are the perfect laid back color I must say. If you are not feeling up for dressing, donning on a floor length beige maxi dress and some flats can serve you without looking so under dressed for any occasion. As for me, I call it my default outfit whenever I am in doub...

Birthday wish by chichonheels featuring black handbags A pre-birthday post for my blog! Here is a list of things I wish to have for my birthday this year. And hopefully it will come true :> 1. Denim polo button down because I was imagining of a denim on denim outfit post ♥ 2. Acid Wash skinny jeans because I always wanted to have one ever since! 3. A body fit corset; I just can't find the perfect one though or if I found one it is too expensive ( it would be best if someone buys this for me *wink* *cute puppy eyes*) 4. A racer front bodycon dress. Just a spare killer outfit for my soon to be perfectly toned body (lol!) 5. A decent handbag that is both fashionable and functional; any brand will do as long as it is long standing 6. A sneaker wedge; oh I've been dying to wear heels again but then it is too impossible for a school like ours that is so mountainous with strict guards. ugh And sneaker wedges are the perfect solution for such dilemma 7....

 Day three of my Manila trip and the highlight as well. Saturday was the day of the Max International Anniversary party at SMX Convention Center beside MOA. So since it was a business/party I chose to wear something smart casual. What I wore was a black romper and a draped vest. When I bought that black romper, I thought if you wear it, it would be uncomfortable and hot and surprisingly it wasn't. It was super comfy because its material is made of cotton plus it blended well with the draped vest that is super light as well. But then the lightness of the clothing paid off when I entered SMX since the aircon was in full blast, and yea, I felt really cold inside. Interlude: I also dropped by the Penshoppe Fashion Week too! Hahaha! Not really, the hall where our party was held was just beside the hall where the Penshoppe event was. So there were pretty girls and boys all around the center and man, they were tall (read: 6 feet and above). The legs are to die for and the body...

  4:15 pm, touchdown Manila. It is always a good thing to do some dramatic pose for touristy photos. At least, you can grab the moment and feel like you are in some kind of a movie wherein they take candid shots of you. haha! okay, I must be imagining too much. Well, credits to my mom though because she took most of my photos for this trip. Let's talk a little about my outfit, I chose a plain white V-neck shirt and a colored pants for this trip because I need comfort when I travel. Sometimes, it is not advisable to wear your nicest clothes in the airport because they have to check you up for a thousand times. I suggest you dress down and put on your comfiest clothes whenever you are in flight!   I just did not expect, NAIA has such humongous conveyor belts and got me really curious what would it be like to walk on those like in the runway of Louis Vuitton!  After we checked in in the hotel, we head straight to Mall of Asia (MOA) for dinner and to meet some of our...

I flew to Manila last thursday to accompany my mom for her business trip and some matters to tend to in the Supreme Court. We chose a hotel near the airport because it is more accessible for back and forth travel to Edsa, and Taft Avenue ( I am not sure if I knew the places well though, haha!). Although, we originally planned to book in one of the hotels in Resort's World but whenever read some feedbacks about Remington hotel in the internet, it was not that satisfactory so we opted for another one-- it's the Copacabana Hotel beside The Heritage Hotel in Pasay. My estimate time for travel from the airport going to this place is around 20 minutes; and also if you plan to go on thriftshopping, Baclaran is just a few meters away from the hotel!  Just like any legit "travel" blogger, well, uhmm, I try to assume myself as now one of them (haha! lol) they try to take photos to the hotel and their interior so I try to do the same. It's not that I am just taki...
