Thanks mom for helping me with my photos even if I’m a little blurred. I love you still! <3

Elegant in Black
(Eclipse dress, Capacci Lovely purse, Sugarfree heels, Forever 21 cuff) Hype this look on Lookbook here.
Black and gold for an event I attended last Thursday. This dress was something I purchased in Malaysia May last year, when I was sent there to cover the Mega Sale. The saleslady showed me how to wear it in 3 different ways, so I figured this would be a purchase I would never regret....

Wore this to Poveda last Saturday, where I talked about my photography! It’s always overwhelming to be invited as a speaker, but it’s a totally different kind of honor for me to be able to talk about my photography work more than anything else. So...

Sugarfree is finally available in Manila, and I just had to get myself these lovely pair of electric blue pumps. Coincidentally wore my other pair of Sugarfree shoes when I recently met the owners last weekend just before doing a talk on blogging and Inbound Marketing at the...

My Must-Haves (January 2012)
It takes quite a process for me to look like this.
Sometimes I would get comments like, “You’re a natural beauty!”, and flattered I may be with these types of comments, I’d always reply so honestly with something along the lines of “Oh no! I owe it all to make-up! My eyeliner and circle lenses can be seen from a mile away.” I never fail to admit I look...

MIFW: Bernard Chandran S/S 2012
I was very lucky to be able to sit front row and take all these detailed photos, especially after being told a number of times that the highlight of Malaysia International Fashion Week is usually Bernard Chandran’s show.
Bernard Chandran is Malaysia’s “King of...

Sweater weather will end soon, and fashion boutiques have started selling summer essentials as early as now. It’s never too early to prepare for the next season, especially if the clothes I see in stores now look like...

Bayo: Girly VS Boyish
Today I can don romantic lace and ribbons from head to toe. Tomorrow I can wear combat boots with crisp, preppy shirts. Such a bipolar personal style calls for versatile clothes, like this pair of studded high-waist shorts that I wear a lot nowadays. It has just the right balance between femininity and masculinity, shorts looking like a skirt but with studs to keep it kickass and all.
Yesterday...

Decided to retire my current penchant for deep red temporarily for this mustard sweater with the cutest lace cutout collar on earth.
Or not. Because I also have the exact same thing in deep red.
I don’t really...

Nagasaki December 2011
About 2 hours away from Fukuoka is another famous tourist destination. Nagasaki was very famous as a port city in the past, but most people would recognize the name as that second city after Hiroshima to be destroyed by an atomic bomb during the 2nd World War.
My family and I took the Express Train from Hakata Station in Fukuoka straight to Nagasaki Station. Had a free day so instead of...

Wedding Essentials January-March 2012
Here’s something I did for the latest Wedding Essentials issue. Posting some professional photography work while I’m still sorting out my pending travel entries. It was only recently when I noticed I’ve been overlooking posting my actual photography work in here - oops.
Photography by Tricia Gosingtian. Hair by Jerry Javier and Vianney Guese. Make-up by Jigs Mayuga and Omar...

Button-down shirts have a kind of versatility that I look for whenever I’m buying clothes or figuring out what to wear on a normal day. Sophisticated collars never fail to give that impression that you actually made an effort to dress up...

Purple Patterns
(Topshop top, Romwe skirt, Snupped laptop bag, Patch Avenue heels, one spo detachable collar) You can hype this look on Lookbook here.
Orange and purple are two colors that together, I never thought I’d wear. But I did, all because I created an outfit based on a laptop bag that I’ve been using for the past 3 months or so, thanks to Snupped. Having gone through multiple...

Fukuoka Day 3: Tenjin
Tenjin is the downtown area of Fukuoka where all the shopping centers are. Because the previous day was very hectic, we decided to relax, do some shopping, and take a break from doing all sorts tourist-y things this time.
I did most of my shopping in a mall called Tenjin Core, which also houses some very familiar brands if you avidly follow Japanese fashion magazines. Practiced my ninja skills...

Meeting James Jean
Me with James Jean, after asking him to sign my copy of XOXO: Hugs and Kisses, a collection of 30 wonderful postcards that I dare not taint with my imperfect human handwriting.
Not only did I finally get my hands on XOXO, but I also got the number one slot for book signing after his artist talk in Ateneo last Friday. All thanks to Fully Booked! I’ve always been a silently fan of his art -...

Fukuoka Day 2
After arriving in Fukuoka on Christmas day, our super hectic 9 AM to 9 PM tour around the city finally commenced on the 26th of December. Fukuoka is a very small and simple place compared to other places in Japan I’ve been to (Tokyo, Nara, Kyoto and Osaka specifically) but it has its own charm, I believe. It used to be a merchant town with a very rich history, being the gateway to Japan a...

New Year, New Hair Color
Got rid of my blonde hair. Bleaching my hair the first time a few months ago was worth it, after seeing the results today. My hairstylist gave me a gray dye swatch earlier, and I wanted to get rid of the blonde so passionately that I didn’t even bother asking him about specifics. “I just want ash.”, and ash I really got.
What do you think?
There’s always something...

Christmas in Fukuoka
I’m back! Spending the holidays in Japan was a blast. Such a magical place with a much-enviable visual culture, as always! Easily my most favorite place in the world.
This time, my family and I went to Fukuoka instead of Tokyo or Osaka for a change. Surprisingly, there’s a direct flight from Manila to Fukuoka via Philippine Airlines. Glad to know that different parts of Japan are...

Christmas Shopping
Christmas shopping is something I look forward to every year. I don’t mind the insane traffic jams, and the massive amount of competitive people in shopping malls trying their very best to get the most affordable deals. I like shopping during this time of the year for a number of absolutely cheesy reasons. For one, holiday collections are usually full of super shiny shimmer and colors that...

On lazy mornings when the weather is chilly and when your bed is trying so hard to keep you from properly starting your day, oversized clothes are absolute shelter for me. It’s like carrying on with your life wearing only...

Corporate Sophisticate
(Romwe dress, Guess heels, Topshop necklace, Diva accessories) Hype on Lookbook here.
If the situation calls for this sort of fashion, my top-of-mind choice of dress would be one of my little black dresses with a super straight cut and long-ish sleeves. Throw in a nice golden clutch and this could transform into a good evening outfit. For quite some time now, I’ve been setting my eyes...

Upon realizing that my teal nail color matched my floral bowtie perfectly, a part of me just naturally picked clothes out with cool tones as a theme. Luckily, I was able to purchase a nice floral skirt that deviates from the normally pretty...

Two reasons why I just had to get this dress: 1) K-pop singer IU wearing the same sweet dress on Inkigayo last November (picture above), and 2) The shiny studs making all the difference in the world by being accessories...

12 days left before Christmas, and I’m already ready for summer. Florals and lace are staples in my closet - I can wear them all year round without having to take seasons into consideration. In this case, I wore them in a very country-esque manner, pairing my puffed sleeved peter pan...

Here’s another one of my holiday outfits! Wore this to a supposed movie night out with my boyfriend and some of our favorite Markprof friends, but traffic got the best of us and led us to a small nearby burger joint. Call me overdressed for burgers, and I’d totally put the blame on...

A Day With Bobo
My weekend in Kuala Lumpur was spent with this lovely lady right here:
Bobo was one of the first people who replied to me when I tweeted something about having time to meet some Malaysian readers interested to bring me around the city to kill some idle time before the MIFW (Malaysia International Fashion Week) gala nights. She was telling me how surprised she got when I tweeted her back in...

A Day With Cheesie
Pre-Liz Lisa-inspired shoot, I spent most of my day with Ringo/Cheesie while she had her photos taken for an online store called Lololook. Just before lunch, she dropped by for me at the hotel I was staying in (KL Hilton sponsored by MIFA). As soon as I got into her car, we greeted each other hello a number of times and also found ourselves giving each other a barrage of compliments which, when I...

Holiday Colors

One way to spice things up during the holidays is to use Christmas colors for your outfit! Red and green doesn’t always have to equal Christmas tree. Using other shades such as maroon and teal can produce interesting results. Donned this look on a hectic...

Quick self-snaps in the morning of the 26th. The light in my hotel room’s window was just too glorious that I had to take some obligatory back lit shots. No model in sight so I guess myself would do.
Wore this dress to a whole day of bonding with my new love Bobo (more pictures of my adventures with her in...

MIFW: Glory of Kebaya + Autumn in KL

MIFW: The New Faces of YODA
While Zebra Square, the venue of the Malaysian International Fashion Week (MIFW) may leave much to be desired as it’s still very unfinished, the show that started the week out definitely did not disappoint. It surprised me to be able to witness an actual Fashion Week show that was inspired by a gothic...

Tricia x Cheesie
Hello from Kuala Lumpur! I’m here on a sponsored media trip but yesterday I found some time to meet up with Malaysian blogger Cheesie for a quick collaboration. She is my long lost brain twin and there were just so many bizarre times when we would be all “OMG! SAME!” the whole day I was with her. It was even more strange to review these self-timer photos...

flowers + schoolgirl
(Clothes for the Goddess top, from Shanghai blazer, Just G skirt, H&M socks, Five by Five heels) Hype on Lookbook here.
For this look, I was clearly inspired by school uniforms - glasses, ribbons, blazer, socks with maryjanes. The twist? I decided to wear a floral skirt instead of the usual pleated plain or plaid ones.
The total amount of black clothes in my closet is greater than...

(ASTARS poncho, Romwe collared top, Clothes for the Goddess bag, Five by Five Olsen boots) Hype this look on Lookbook here.
Almost completely went back to my black and white roots for a day, except I took the initiative to put some sort of accent color to not make me look paler and more sickly than I already was that day. This wine poncho top was my instant go-to for a classy,...

The sun finally cooperated today after so long, so here’s a new batch of non-studio self-portraits. Perfect outfit for a perfect 11-11-11. The cut-out back is a pleasant surprise for such a dainty, conservative dress. Gives my nunal a chance to say hello!

And yes, my collar and my shoes match! Besides the very lovely seafoam green color of this button-down top, I really love this deliberate two-tone thing going on with this outfit. This little similarity makes all the difference in the world.

Classic dress and perfectly teased hair, in Stepford wife stereotype fashion. It’s fun to play dress up once in a while, especially if you’re inspired by a concept or character with qualities which are opposite yours. Though I’d love to be a domesticated goddess someday, my...
