why don't we break the rules already?

Neon love. My dear friend, Lotte, mentioned how she couldn't don some neons yet. I told her you can mix neon to even the staples of all pieces. A white shirt, classic denims... Leave a dash of neon to work its luminous wonders. Right now, I'm just smitten with these stabilo creations. They literally bright up any occasion. <3

feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Best wishes to our good good friends, Mac & Tannia, who tied the knot yesterday down south. Kudos to Mac! Man, I didn't know you had it in you to orchestrate a wedding single-handedly (almost quite :) )! It was such a beautiful affair! And the spread! And those genius 'angel' wings! haha Sweetness! Thanks again so much, guys! We had an uber time! Too bad I'm not posting pics of the wedding here. Haha Anyhow, just blogging what I wore for the affair. Fernbrook (Alabang) reminded me of ethereal renaissance with those pretty gold interiors and sprawled greens. May pass for a scene from Lord of The Rings with Liv Tyler onset. Haha Sorry, most of the photos aren't as crisp as should be.

in the nude

Hello, world! Been gone awhile! Will be posting some photos of my new pastime (wink wink) a bit later :) Meanwhile, here's something nude... haha Nude slash skin tone slash color. Was at my nephew, Caleb's, christening today down south. Sumptuous spread! Thanks to our host and hostess, Pat and Joan! Can't get enough of those mouth melting blue M&M's! Sweet surrender! haha
 
Anyhow, going back, for this occasion, I wore this nude mullet piece with cutout back detail. Wearing nude can be a bit tricky or should I say, risky? For most, this shade may come off as tan, camel, or caramel. Either way, my fashion sense translates it with the nudes :) I love this shade of nude because it accentuates one's fair complexion. In effect, it creates a monochromatic scheme in harmony with my skintone. Nonetheless, this caramel shade  also works best against tan skintones. Effect is a sunkissed dance. Nude monochromes, or nude tones in general,  tend to blend like wallflowers, but sprucing them up gives them character, more like the 'umph' reaction. To break the mood of this dress, I added some black and gold accessories. A pair of gladiator-inspired cuffs, gold chain necklace, and chunky heels. Attempted moi interpretation of a 20's side-swept low bun enthused by my recent stint with The Great Gatsby. For this look, goal is to keep it simple (considering it's a morning affair) and yet capitalize by injecting texture-- in comes my fur tote! Have fun! :)
