Last weekend defiantly pushed me to crave for something that could give me a ray of light. Something fun. Something wild. Something striking…
Something Neon!
By combining fluorescent yellow, pink, and orange Stabilo highlighter hues with denim and lace, I don a lady-like approach in this season’s fresh and modern hit, Thinking…Why blend in with the gloomy weather when you can instantly lighten up any soul and make use of this trend’s show-stopping power? (Bright idea right?) *wink*

Dramatically playful, detail oriented, wholesome with slight sexiness, colorful and sweet. The Fifties was fundamentally a time of conformity, you won’t find anything wild or risqué on these pages. Think of it as good, clean, wholesome stuff. Instead of lingerie think night shirts, instead of mini skirts, think at the knee length skirts, instead of shorts think trousers and you’ll get the idea.

I’m pretty sure no woman can live without fashionable sandals (can you?). Every woman (and gays) aims of having gorgeous, stylish sandals that they can wear for casual days or even for a formal event or night out parties(or even at work or at school). Sandals used to mean flat shoes with straps that were made for all day easy wear. But today they have evolved into one of the top fashion trends available because of its very versatile designs hence, the comfort that it brings.
Undeniably, we can agree that we really love owning any kind of sandals whether it’s flat or a high heel one (I go for flat down to earth ones, usually even if I look so small on ‘em haha!), most especially this…

Sugar, spice and all things pastel.
When we were just little girls our loyalty to pink was unrivaled and anything with flowery detail, may it be big or small, made us feel like a princess (more like a Barbie for me!).
Our taste may have undergone an extreme evolution but there’s still something compelling in coveting pastel-hued, delicate, eye-cooling pieces reminiscent of Marie Antoinette (Oh btw, do you guys know that

Let me start this post with a question.
How long has I been gone from the blogosphere?
I can’t even tell how long exactly. I’m sure it hasn’t been a decade. Though, trust me, it was way too longer than that in my end! (insert sad face here)
Yes, I missed everyone/everything! and No, I haven’t grown white hairs yet…not just yet! (hahaha) nor did I suffered from Alzheimer or dementia or any type of memory loss to forget that I have a should-be-updated-often blog which I really love and would want to grace spontaneity with, however…

Wore this mannish pleat front trousers to a date night with the boyfriend, who is actually the man behind this set of photos (Thanks Love). I rolled up the hem in an i-don’t-really care kind of way, intentionally, to make it more contemporary.
Paired with a cotton candy colored top, stacked-on bracelets, a drawstring studded sling bag, Tassled T-strap heels and this season’s detachable collar (DIY-ed it) I’m thinking of considering this as one of those pretty put together: “boyfriend meets girlfriend” nonchalant vibe look. You think so?

What have you wanted to be when you were just that innocent cute little girl? You would probably say a Doctor, an Engineer, a Chef, a Writer…I could go on and on with all those highly respected profession.
A Pre-school Teacher. Which what I am dressing as in this post.
That’s what I have dreamed of becoming to be when I was young. I for one have envisioned myself, spending days singing nursery rhymes with naughty yet cute kids. and if I have one strong weakness, those are smart and adorable kids! Their smiles and laughs are just so precious I cant’ help but follow what they want! Also, the main reason why I spoil my little cousins.
Why am I sharing this?
Only because I’d like to dedicate this post to the seniors ( I am! Actually, seven years ago!? haha!) If you’re one, I want you to know that choosing your college major is really important, it’s going to be tough and confusing but it’s vital that you consider not only what your parents want but what you have always wanted…What YOU dreamed of and whatever it is that you’ll become four or five years from now… with all those swings and strides,One thing I know for sure..You can dress the part well! :)
P.PS
I took these photos on a late afternoon, less light,more contrast.Thanks for my tripod for making it possible.I like that they turned out to be vintage-y. What do you think? ;)
Much Love,
Nikki

Channeling Doctor Zoe from Hart of Dixie in this set of looks. It made it more obvious and not doubtful enough that Yes, I am hooked with this series. I like how I can relate to those medical terms ( uhm..it’s the nurse in me talking here) and what made it more likeable is not only the story and everything that’s going on in there but most of all — it’s the girl behind this post’s existence… My forever style icon, Rachel Bilson. (I’ve j’adore her since OC days) Who wouldn’t fall in love with her wit and style?!
With that overly chic blazer paired with high waist shorts, Doctor Zoe made it to the top of the most stylish surgeon ever ( that’s on my list) She gives off the perfect definition of how you can look casual yet professional. That said, I’m hoping that somehow, I was able to give justice with the title that I used through this look which btw, I wore at SoFa two Saturdays ago! Less the heels, Have I given it justice or not? Do the judging! ;)
P.S
A sweet shout out to my blogger sis Marj of All That Glitters for taking this set of photos. (I love how I was able to have a friend, a classmate, a sister and a photographer in one) Thanks Sis! <3

Bonsoir! I’m back to keep my promise! Remember my post when I mentioned about something I did last weekend? Here’s exactly what I said :
Last weekend, I did something out of the box, something I missed and I haven’t done for years now…Thoughts? I’ll share what it is on my next post, That’s a promise!
and to unwrap it, here’s a photo (tadaaaa)
I went to school! Yeah baby, I’m back to being a student! (How happy do I sound here? hahaha) Currently, I am enrolled at SOFA under a fashion journalism course. FASHION and JOURNALISM two extremely influential words in one course?! Now that’s something!
TO seg a little way. Truths be told, I was deeply influenced or better to utt encouraged by my blogger sis Marj ( Hi sis! See you on Saturday!) One aftei I received a BBM from her asking if I am interested to study Fashion Journalism. Just hearing those words together in one sentence is like Lenka’s song playing to my ears. Of course I said YES! I just haffta include BUT there because I need to consider my summer schedule and need to weigh things out considering my five days a week job. So when she told me it’s a weekend class, I told myself “This must be the fashion gods giving me an invitation to Olympus” (loling)
But seriously the question I had fro myself was not “why will I take the course?” but more of “why not?” I mean its not like everyday that I’ll get the chance to have Ms. Lacar Perlas (Mega Magazine’s Managing Editor) as my instructor and besides SOFA is the first to offer this kind’f course. There was really zero reason to miss this opportunity. I’ve studied styling courses before but this one, I consider, the prime! :)
Just to share with you guys, our task for this term is to come up with our own Magazine. Ms. Lacar divided the class into two and guess what just gotten into my list of roles to play? I was tasked to take the Fashion Editorial Part. Crossing my fingers and toes as early as now and praying to all the fashion gods out there to grant me more powers! (may the force be with me haha) Wish me luck guys! Will keep you guys posted about this ;)
Any how, here I go again, word vomiting and boring you guys with another nobela post. I’m sorry, I can’t help but make chika! haha! time check! It’s 8:30 pm and my Hangry ( Hungry and Angry) Tummy is growling like a tiger, will grab something to eat for dinner! So bye for now! Let’s eat!
Happy Dinner! Toodles!
P.S
Before I forgot the outfit. That’s what I wore during our class orientation. I reunited with print on print. Made a trick by using my romper as a top and added a touch of Lace! How was it? Oh..and thanks to Gelo for my fab foxtail. Got it from his booth last BU! Thanks Girl! Much Love! XX
