Be-dazzling !

- Spring brings me sexy and feminine aura -

Are you a New Yorker? then dress like one! Don't be afraid, show them what you got! Just put on self-confidence and you are definitely good to go!

I actually have lack of sleep due to school works and didn't have any plan of going out today, well looks like I failed! The cool weather today was just tempting, I couldn't help it!

People say I am good in posing, the fact is NO! Well I am learning but my secret to my poses is my HUBBY!! *wink* He pushes me, believe in me and give me self-confidence. There were actually times years ago that I cry because I wanted to pose like a pro but I couldn't. He choreographs my poses, such as, "chin up a little bit", "lower your left leg" or "smile a little bit, not too much" or "look far away" etc.. :)

New York State of Mind!

This is actually one reason why I ended up dressing up and go out with my hubby. When I came home from school at noon my shoes came in and I was just soo excited! Don't you love it??? Don't you dare say NO because it is elegantly beautiful!

Meet my favorite coat. It gives me that European kind of style and its sexy too in its own beauty!

Just like snow, I am obsess with Cherry Blossoms! I wish I could have this at home in the Philippines! I do really feel like a princess when I walk especially under blooming Cherry trees!

*Please excuse the lady in the back* Well, here are my details and on my regular go-to days, I don't wear that much bling only when the outfit is for blogging or special occasion.

Anyway, shoutout to my BFF @annecerezo, that beautiful braided gold bracelet is actually hers. A week ago we hung out with other friends and I took it from her without her noticing it. Well, I don't know if she even noticed her favorite bracelet is MISSING until now, which she'll see in this picture! haha .. peace love mwah

Place: Roosevelt Island, Queens, New York

TRIVIAS:

* I do not and have never ever shaved my legs and arms. Lucky me, saves me time! *

* I was born year of the snake but I hate snakes *

* I comb my hair after shower and before going to sleep but not when I wake up *

( I bun my hair every time I sleep, when I wake up and loosen it, it gives me that beautiful natural wave without using heat )

TIPS:

LEGS: For natural flawless legs, use preferred lotion (I recommend a lotion with Shea Butter) day and night. It moisturize your skin and gives you that glowing young skin. Do not use any products that are not necessary!

POSES: Practice in your mirror, little by little you'll get used to it and your body will just do it when you're ready for a shot!

HAIR: I use PINK Hot oil once a month you can buy it from Duane Reade, GNC, CVS and other drugstore. Don't over use it, it's unnecessary! PUTTING TOO MUCH CHEMICAL ON YOUR HAIR WILL RUIN ITS BEAUTY! (Although, those products are approved to be sold, I still don't believe that they don't have any bad effects, THEY ARE CHEMICALS after all!)

Pink Spring

Today was a photoshoot with a friend who's building up his portfolio. When we were done, I change my clothes into this for a much Spring and fresh aura.

My camera sucks and I'm definitely getting a new one, one day :) By the way, I really love this hi-lo skirt because of its build in mini skirt inside. I loved how my outer skirt have been playing with the wind while my hubby and I were strolling around the city.

Finally it's SPRING!! I love blossom and I am so glad I do not have allergies with pollen so I am really enjoying it. Today was the hottest since Winter; it was up to 80 degree F.

aren't the view and the sun great?? I was just lovin' it!!

I actually kept it simple today with a nude wedge shoes with multi-colored heels, a heart pendant gold necklace that my dad gave me and two bracelets that were given by my hubby. I wanted the outfit today to be girly yet would stand out and show the sexiness of femininity and simplicity.

- Central park and Midtown New York -

Shoes: Bakers | Skirt: Thrifted | Hat: Forever21 | Bustier: Forever21 | Satchel Bag: Coach

Places: Central Park | Jeepney- Filipino Gastropub | Astor Place and along 14th street different avenues | New York

My hubby and I walked couple of miles just to get lost around 14th St to wherever streets. We both enjoyed walking, sightseeing, people walking, and visiting exotic stores and restaurants. We actually also went to Jeepney - a Filipino gastropub - to which we enjoyed bone marrow!! While getting lost in my girly hi-lo, pink bustier, wedge, and mademoiselle's hat, we came across this store to which we really felt pity! As you can see, there are a lot of graffiti on their glass windows, their ceiling is about to collapse, their store name is incomplete and not to forget the scaffolding that was placed right exactly in-front of the store's entrance. Poor store :(

All in all, from time to time, getting lost could be tiring but very worth it. Many little things are there to amaze and stun you with their uniqueness, and beauty. The #1 best free destination in New York.

It's been a Floral day!

Hello there! It's "Hello Spring" in New York! I can't wait for Cherry trees to bloom! It is indeed becoming warmer day by day but it is not that warm to wear a sleeveless. I want to have a girly feminine kind of look so that's why I decided to wear a simple nude cardigan. Leather jacket is too hippie for the look that I want to achieve.

TIP: Avoid wearing long cardigan when wearing a dress especially a maxi dress, or maxi skirt. You might end up looking like a granny or older than your actual age. If you are to wear a cardigan, wear the same length as your dress or longer length than your dress. For a maxi skirt or dress, some exceptions can be considered but you have to give extra precaution. Wear a cardigan for maxis that will look like it's a part of the dress itself, also wear a color that will contrast each other. You could also wear huge striped long cardigan for a solid maxi.

All in all, play with your wardrobe, mess your room (its one best way to learn how to mix and match, being able to see what options do you have), and dress up your mood.

So I sat as instructed by my fiancee a.k.a. my personal photographer and I like how it turned out!

New York is full of fashions in the streets where each individuals are free to express themselves through their style and outfits!

Simplicity is bold and elegant; it flaunts a woman's beauty inside and out. - Kennybabes Chavez

By the way meet my uber romantic hubby, excuse the hat I was making fun of him that time and he just started being such a lovey dovey romantic pretty boy hehe :p

The heat of the sun! Oh how I missed it!

It was too windy, I was fixing my hair and my hubby just snapped a shot! :) I love him when he's on his mood to take pictures. I didn't have to use threat and force him to take shots! haha

The beauty of Queensborough Bridge connected to Manhattan in Black and White

Beautiful condos with a scenic and beautiful view of Hudson River and the city

I just can't help it, I just love the weather and the sun and the cool breeze of the wind.

Breathtaking view of Manhattan and Hudson River

The rocks and me. I have a huge love with nature and views; just enjoying God's gifts!

And oh yep that's Empire State Building across the river :)

I am not a talented or a professional photographer but I am very happy of this result hehe.. for a newbie right? It's all about angle too!

This place by the way is Gantry Plaza State Park. It is very special to me and my fiancee, he brought me here and since then I loved it. The view, the aura, it's peacefulness and it's modern romantic view and construction. When we fight, we go here individually. This has always been our favorite date spot where we play guitars and sing together enjoying the breeze and the view.

Roll and Drive

Last Monday, my hubby and I went to an International Auto-Show in NY at Jacob Javits Center. I originally wanted to wear a maxi skirt and a bustier but then I changed my mind. I figured I might test, or get into the cars on display so I didn't want myself uncomfortable of being too conscious. Plus, we are going to the auto-show so I decided to be have that "sexy bad-ass look" like the ones in Fast and Furious movies.

FACT: I bun my hair when I sleep and when I take it off when I wake up, it gives me that wavy style. I don't comb it anymore if the wave is too loose, and I like it coz it gives me that naughty kind of messy hair :p

I wore a heart printed stockings coz I can't find anymore plain stockings!! They are all messed up and ripped which just sucks!

- BUGATTI-

- Ford Mustang -

FACT: My dream car since I was a kid has always been a convertible. When I was a kid I always want a convertible Mustang, although I didn't have any knowledge about it. I just thought it was cool because it was one of the most popular ones. But now, I am still in search of the right convertible car for me, I didn't like this one because the back seat is too tight (well almost all convertibles are), but there are some that's a little bit more spacious than this Mustang. The ideal color would be luxurious black; I am just in love with it's elegance. The roof should be metal too rather than a fabric. Also I am eyeing on Camaro's convertible car too! Sounds really cool right?

- Lamborghini -

- Ferrari -

The day was warm and this outfit was just perfect!

FACT: The Army green jacket is more than 7 years old. My dad - a retired Philippine soldier - gave this to me 7 years ago. It still fits me!!

Bold Elegance

So I just got my package yesterday night and I couldn't wait to wear this beautiful cut out top. Fortunately, the weather last Thursday was great and I was able to wear it!

FACT: This is my usual pose and the first pose ALWAYS every time I pose for a picture!

So I love fashion ever since I was in high school but I never keep records on any of my outfit. Of course one best way to record is taking pictures of it right? So with the influence of my fashion inspirations I started doing fashion diaries and day by day I am learning a lot especially with the do's and dont's!

P.S. I told my fiancee, "Take a picture like you know the ones like stolen shots while I'm walking" hahaha.. and it does feel awkward when you want somebody to take a stolen shot but not really stolen because you are aware that he's taking shots of you!!!

FACT: My height is 5'5

So this day, I am literally wearing my new hauls! I paired white with the teal A-Skater Skirt because I want the top to stand out! I wanted to emphasize it's elegance without having it dominate the rest of my outfit. Although I paired the teal to give the white top an oomph, the top has the same effect with my skirt. They both compliment each other equally.

Since it's Spring season already, I paired my outfit with an orange peep-toe shoes. It's hot orange color gives the whole outfit a very sweet playful finish.

The tights that I am wearing also equalize the beauty of each items and balances the whole outfit. You don't want to be too bright using different colors and vice versa. The tights also have bow prints which is very sneaky hehe :)

It is always important that when you want to dress up elegantly you have to give each pieces a chance to stand out without dominating the whole outfit. That way people will see your elegance as a whole not only on specific piece or area.

I paired the whole outfit with a simple chain necklace with diamond heart pendant, chain bracelet and braided pink and gold bracelet. I actually forgot to take a picture of them so next time, for this time I'll leave it to your own imagination.
