SUNNY SMALL SPACES

Being an architect gives you an opportunity to be resourceful and creative. Designing gives me a certain high, seeing your it all come together on the piece of art that is your structure. But seeing it being constructed and finished is a different thing : the sense of fulfillment you get from seeing the finished work.

SUMMER ON YOUR SLEEVE

SUMMER'S HERE! it's pretty obvious that summer has begun, given the very hot and humid weather we're having, and the kinda smooth flowing traffic along Katipunan (summer, school's out! :). I can't bring myself to wear jeans or pants because of the sticky weather, so I've been wearing my dresses and skirts, the ones that have been hanging in my closet for the longest time. Although it's kinda hot and humid, summer's also bright and breezy, the perfect time to bring out those bright colored, printed dresses/skirts, adorable sunnies and floppy hats.

ITS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR! Even Pantone's color of the year shouts just that. :) I love how colors can contribute a great deal in changing the mood, and creating an atmosphere. And Emerald green is such a rich, lively color, perfect to welcome the new year! 

We're going to be watching again how this color will translate into the runways, and in design. Other than the charming and lush Emerald Green, we'll be seeing more of the subtle hues this year. :) (i just love pinterest, so inspiring! see the perfect palette's inspiring boards to see more on the 2013 color inspirations. :)

I have yet to start looking for the trends in fashion for this year, and I plan to do that soon, so I can get ready with my wardrobe, and the items that I must buy for this year. hehe. Every year is a new opportunity to update your style, but always remember to make it your own still. :) 

More of the subtler hues will be present in this years collections. :) I'm personally liking these hues, all of which in my opinion convey warmth and sophistication at the same time. :) Another reason to hit those end of the season sales for new clothes/shoes/bags/etc! hehehe.

So, let's continue to ring in the year with much excitement, expecting many great things to come! I just think that Emerald Green being the color of the year says a lot, and is a declaration of an awesome year ahead. 

I hope i get to blog more often, i miss writing and just ranting random stuff. Hopefully I'll get to do that more this year. :)

Happy Styling!

THE HOLIDAYS

LOVE THE HOLIDAYS. l couldn't quite believe how fast the days have gone by. One day we were just waiting for Christmas to come, then it's already New Year's eve. :) Time flies so fast when you're having fun. Hehe. The next thing we know it's time to go back to work. Haha.

THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Me and my sisters, Steph and Monica. Accessorizing the LBD. 

STYLING THE LBD. We recently attended our friend's debut party. When I found out that her theme was black and white, I got to thinking of my outfit. I wore the black dress I bought during my trip to China, it had a little opening in the back which was really cute. It is a shame that I haven't got a single picture of the whole dress. hehe. Paired it with my new nude pumps, and my gold necklace and clutch.

 My LBD has always been my favorite go to dress when I can't think of anything else to wear. It's easy to style because it's such a great canvass to work with. All accessories pop against the black color. :) I wear it to the office, to meetings, dress it up for events, you can do anything with it really, its that versatile. I just throw on a few statement pieces of accessories, and it instantly makes the outfit. Wearing red lipstick with it also adds to the whole look! :)

I love this picture of the three of us. Time flies fast and we're all grown up. My sister Monica now is married and has a super gwapo little baby boy who we all adore, and Steph is quite the jetsetter, doing pretty well in her career. Can't help but be a little sentimental when I think about the three of us. Your sisters are your best friends and I'm just glad I have them both. :) Do we look alike? heheh.

In other news : Christmas is just around the corner! we have decorated our office already, and the Starbucks drinks are out (Toffee Nut Latte, you're back! :) Time flies when you're having fun. hehe.

And it's Friday again! 

Hope you have a great weekend! 

love,

YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH CLASSIC

I've always thought that my style to be a little bit classic - in a sense that I lean more towards

the classic pieces and silhouettes, and prefer navy, beige, brown, black or white (although you can still do classic with bright colors).

Here are some of my favorite classic outfit pegs. :) 

One can never go wrong with a little black dress. :) Of all the staples,
this one's my favorite. It's like a blank canvas, and you can easily
accessorize. Dress it down with flats, wear it to a party with heels.
