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...

Just G: Summer Stripes
(Photos by RG, editing by me; Just G top, Just G skirt, One Spo collar necklace, Cotton On socks, Asian Vogue heels) You can hype this look on Lookbook here if you like!
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...

lace cutouts
(Olive des Olive mustard sweater, Clothes for the Goddess shorts, Paris Dreams heels, from HK thigh-high socks, from Japan geeky glasses) Hype this look on Lookbook here.
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...

Geeky Green
(Zara top, Romwe shorts, Lololook vest, Gold Dot wedges, Louis Vuitton bag, from Japan bolo tie and geeky glasses) Hype this look on Lookbook here.
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 -...

My obsession with this color is getting out of hand, I think. I’ve been wearing all my dark...

Wore this yesterday to meet with people for some exciting 2012 collabs, and to the Rockwell sale with my mom. First Lookbook entry of the year.
Recently, I’ve been buying everything in this lovely wine color. Before I got rid of the blonde, I made...

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...
