One for the Hommes: Jensen’s Lookbook

Hi guys, before the month ends I’m letting a good friend of mine take over my blog. I looked over the entries I’ve had here for the past years and noticed that I have never done a single one for the hommes.  So today let me introduce to you Jensen, who also shares the same interest for fashion and travel. I admire him for not letting his crazy busy work schedule gets in the way of planning a trip every now and then. Working, travelling, taking photos, blogging and looking good sounds a bit too much, so on his birth month, I would like to take a page and share with you Jensen’s style, take a look on how he normally would dress to impress on a daily work day basis. Below are the top 3 looks which are my favorites.

 Look 1:  White pants and floral printed button-up

Love love love white pants!, if I’m not that clumsy I would love to wear white pants always, but such a klutz and nowadays I’m always running around here and there to run errands. Love this outfit on Jensen, it looks neat, comfy and very summery because of the print.

Look 2: Neutral accessories

Pair with a white bottom, this printed long sleeves is very hard to pull-off if you think about the weather in the Philippines. But an 8hour job inside a centralized building makes it easy. The bag, belt and the shoes top with the hat looks fab.

Look 3: Bold Blue

It’s very obvious that I’m biased with a white piece of outfit, but when Jensen paired it with this blue top, it pops! I love when an outfit has this one pop of color, adds fun and energy to the whole look.

Not getting Cold shoulders anymore

Team OTS? (Off the shoulder). Almost all the girls I know have tried this, except for me! I’ve been holding off from wearing this trend for a while, because of body issues.  I always thought that this style is for those who have sexy arms, which I am sure I don’t have. For some reason, I swear it seems that fats from what I eat goes directly to my arms, and do you also agree that it’s a bit difficult to tone them.  Opps did I just say that? Yes it’s that one-part-of-the-body I want to fix question, if asked to change.  Gladly the girls over at Dia&Co have encouraged me to just go for it.  That push made me really consider wearing it and along the way I have discovered and will share a few things which you might find helpful when wearing this trend.

The right BRA - you need a strapless bra for the OTS look, choose a bra that has a full cup (to avoid spillage) with underwire that encases the whole breast. If you feel uncomfortable about your bra you might want to get fitted by a professional, they will help you to choose the right size and how to put them on correctly.

The fit - you might think getting a tighter one will help to keep it in place, No, it will make it more pop up quickly. Getting one size bigger than what I thought I need, was actually better. It was a bit loose but it stayed in place longer.

Happy and I must say, it’s a bit liberating to finally go for it. It made me remember about a book that I once read saying, “We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.”

We all feel insecure from time to time, but as Dia&Co reminds me, we don’t need to hide our perceived flaws to avoid specific style. Head on to their site and find out more how they can assist you, they will give attention to every detail - shape, style and budget.

Have a fun week ahead ladies!

Flowers of the World & My Pleated WOW outfit (white-on-white)

It’s nice to be out and enjoy the weekend especially if the agenda requires viewing beautiful flowers from all over the world. For this day filled with gorgeousness and daintiness, I have chosen to wear a white-on-white outfit or WOW to let the flower stand out when taking pictures. My WOW outfit ensembles are a pleated white skirt and a sleeveless crop top, with an inverted V cut at the front's bottom. Pleated skirts are coming back and spring is the right time to wear them, especially if you get them in pastel colours and lighter shades, you’ll be summer and beach date ready in no time. Pleats are romantic and fanciful, just like most of the flowers I’ve seen today, and just because pleats are also whimsical already, no need for too much accessories, makeup kept to a minimal too, using nude hues.

A beautiful weekday start ladies!
