2014 Blog Wishlist
What I want to achieve for my blog this 2014...
1. Blog more. Last year, I have so many things to blog for but was lazy to even just update pictures of it.
2. Find a "photographer". Since I started fashion blogging I realized it was not easy when your in this journey alone. You need to have supporters and paparazzi. :D Other fashion bloggers got their boyfriend, sibling and assistant who took their outfits shots. Sadly, I got none of the mentioned person. Hopefully I can have someone who will take my outfit shots this year. If you have the same dilemma I'm open for collaboration just message me!;)
3. Own a tripod. An alternative for number 2 is the tripod. Some fashion bloggers took their outfit shots with their tripod so why not try it right?
4. Video blogging. I have lots of videos stored in my external hard drive. It's probably not to late to edit and share them. And yes hopefully capture more and share it here in my blog. :)
5. Master photography. Last year, I manage to get some items in my wishlist one of which is a DSLR camera. This year I should make use of it and enhance my photography skills.
6. Plan! I'm not a planner type of person. I tried buying a planner before but it all ended in my drawer... Dusted and bored to death with no plans written on it. This year will yet again try to be a planner bit by bit until I'll get use to it. I didn't buy a planner notebook for myself but a blogger friend gave one as a gift. Now I have another reason to really use it. ^_^
7. Travel places. So I can use my planner! haha I should seriously try this to gave my life a different scenario. Will start with nearby places maybe in Cagayan de Oro and hopefully if budget permits go national and then international. (*crossing fingers*)
8.Share more. Until now Im still searching for reasons and trying to bring back my enthusiasm to blogging. I really can't figure out why it took me so long to find that enthusiasm in sharing things in my blog. Hopefully, this year I can share more in my blog with the help ofcourse of my "photographer", tripod, planner and travel experiences.
9. Companion. All this things I listed would be much more fun and possible if I have a companion who'll support my crazy adventures. It doesn't have to be a boyfriend (though I'm praying for one.. :P) but whoever who is willing to share their time with me.
10. Go out! I shouldn't just work in my home office, or dining room table. I should take my laptop to the mall, or coffee shop once a week or so.
Kris Kringle Gift
Blogged earlier about CDOBloggers Night 2013: Thanksgiving Party... In connection to that will be showing you the gift I've received from our Kris Kringle. Before that though, let me tell you about the rules on our gifts. Everyone are encouraged to bring gifts and the gift must have an amount of PHP 49.75 excluding the wrappers or gift bag. You should also bring the proof of purchase for whoever cant bring the exact amount will be punish. Exciting right?
The gift that I've received is an awesome addition for my #OOTD's. A bracelet! It still had its tag on for PHP 49.75, bought at SM Department Store. It's so cool and I (obviously) like it. The gift is from our newbie CDOBlogger member James. And speaking of, let me introduce to you our fresh and young newbie members of CDOBloggers... James and Andrew. James into food blogging and Andrew is into fashion.
CDOBloggers Night 2013: Thanksgiving Party
CDOBloggers Night 2013: Thanksgiving Party went punk fashion. I actually suggested the dress code because wearing punk will go well with the venue the Chills Music & Video Family KTV. ^_^ I went all black with my punk fashion, black off shoulder top and black shorts. My shorts has traces of brown threads which compliments my brown boots. For accessories I added a colorful spike bracelet, spike ring, cross ring and a rings chain necklace (which in this look I use as a belt. I just find it more comfortable to wear it as belt than wear it as necklace) to complete the look.
Thrifted black top and shorts| Romwe Gun Print Nude Tights| Tommy Hilfiger leather ankle boots
Okay so what's with the last 2 photos?! Will they ask us (who are wearing punk fashion) to showcase our style. Seriously! Im not good at doing this. Anyways, here are some photos of the event.
Perfecting Your Party Look: Holiday Season Party Tips from Celebrities
Of course, you probably don't have the budget of your favorite stars, but that doesn't mean that you can't follow their fashion examples concerning holiday dressing. From full skirts to leather and a departure from the Little Black Dress, celebrities often represent the leading edge where fashion is concerned. Take a cue from your favorite stars to shine at your next holiday gathering!
Invest in a Good Coat
Of course, partying during the holidays doesn't mean that you have to shiver. Invest in party-worthy outerwear, including winter coats, elegant leather gloves and a scarf in smooth cashmere. You will look great as you travel on your way to your holiday events, and make a grand entrance even before showing off your holiday ensemble.Fitted Tops and Full Skirts
Maybe your bottom half is just a bit hippy. Or perhaps you've been overindulging in holiday treats continuously since Halloween. No worries. You can hide all your figure and dietary sins in a festive long or short dress with a fitted top and a long skirt. The fitted top and full skirt look allows you to show off pretty shoulders or a sexy décolletage and no one will ever know that you're hiding anything.Daring Leather and Animal Prints
Sure, the Little Black Dress is foolproof and nearly every woman has (or should have) at least one, if not several. But if you're feeling a bit edgy and daring, try an animal print or leather ensemble. If you're not daring enough to have an entire leather or animal print ensemble, try an animal print or leather accessory, like a wrap or a purse. You might just bring out a bit of the beast in that very special someone.Show Some Skin
Yes, it IS cold outside, but remember, this is a party. Especially if you are going straight from your heated flat or house directly into a heated car or taxi and proceeding to a party scene that may be overheated with all those bodies jammed together, there is no excuse for a head-to-toe cover up. Whether you go for a short skirt, a plunging neckline or a bare back, you must show some skin. Cover up with a coat when you're outside if you must, but once you are indoors, you have no excuse.White Is the New Black
You can't go to a party without swimming in a sea of Little Black Dresses. Lately, Little Red Dresses and even Little Gold Dresses have begun to make an appearance. However, if you really want to stand out, white is the new black. Especially for daytime affairs, a Little White Dress allows you to look sexy without seeming like you're trying too hard.Go for the Menswear Look
If it is simply too cold outside for a dress of any type, you can still look elegant at your next holiday event without risking frostbite. Go for the menswear look with a festive shimmery top matched with a tailored silk or velvet jackets and slacks. Finish the look with plain pumps or ballet flats in black or gold. You will be party-ready and elegant while keeping your arms and legs covered.The Right Accessories Matter
You wouldn't think of lugging around a backpack instead of a purse as part of your holiday party ensemble. The accessories that you carry and wear can make or break your outfit, so it is worth your while to make the effort to choose the right accessories. A shimmery gold clutch or an elegant black shoulder bag matches nearly every ensemble. Your jewelry should highlight your outfit and your best features without overpowering the whole works. Even if you are wearing an overcoat, a wrap to protect your arms against the chill makes an elegant touch.Take Care With Your 'Do
Whether your hair is short or long, your holiday hairdo should reflect the level of formality of your outfit. Splurge on a salon blowout or a full-fledged cut and style. For formal occasions such as evening dinner parties, a slick updo is appropriate. For more laid back affairs, loose waves or curls are sexy and touchable. Hair accessories such as tiaras or hair jewels add an extra touch of elegance.Black & Stripes
Today, i'm wearing a casual stripe mini dress with irregular bottom short sleeves which was one of my purchases from Everbuying.com. It was kinda big for me though but it was available in one size only.
Seems like I'm a fan lately of twinset dresses. Well, one reason im buying twinsets is that I can have lots of ways to wear it. Just like this dress I can wear it without the black short sleeves and I can use it with other tops or dresses. The short sleeves has a netted back which makes it stylish aside from its irregular bottom. I like the cloth of this dress because it's soft perfect for hot weather or summer.
#OnlineShopping: EverBuying.com Items Finally Arrived!
Blogged a few weeks ago about the online shopping department store Everbuying.com. Well, im happy to share to you that after 15 days from ordering, my items already arrive. I didn't expect that it will actually arrive sooner because from my experienced from Romwe.com and other online shops it takes a month or more. In fact, I actually taught that the package was from Aupie.com which I'm expecting to arrive already because it has been more than a month since I ordered my item. It probably matters on the location Everbuying.com is from Shenzhen, China.
So far I was more than satisfied with EverBuying.com's shipping service. Added to the fact that the items are in free shipping. The product is in good condition too.
So what's inside the package?
- Casual Short Sleeves Women’s Twinset (USD 12.33) - The dress is nice but I guess it will be a bit big for me. I love the quality of the cloth!
- Punk Style Fish Scale Shape Bracelet With Ring (USD 2.15) - the bracelets a bit too big but the lock can be adjusted. Thank God also that the ring is also adjustable because I have a small fingers.
- Floral Print Shrug Style Chiffon Women’s Jacket (USD 10.71) - Was a bit disappointed on the jacket though... It was indeed specified that the cloth is chiffon and I can see it on the photo but I thought the the chiffon will be layered with another clothing material. However, it's basically a thin chiffon jacket and not as I imagine it would be. Will just hope I can pull it off well when I wear it.
Hello Krispy Kreme Cagayan de Oro!
Hello everyone! Krispy Kreme officially opens its doors to all Kagayanons. The long wait is finally over for us.
I was invited for an exclusive Bloggers Tour before the Krispy Kreme opens to the public. I choose this new thrifted dress which comes with a crop top layered on it coz the print on the crop top perfectly fits the occasion. Hello Krispy Kreme CDO!
CDOBloggers had so much fun on that day! We had the chance to tour on the inside kitchen, watch the donuts while it was freshly cook, design our own donuts and yes ofcourse (the most awesome part) tried any Krispy Kreme drinks and donuts.
They also have this game called Krispy Kreme Doughnut personality quiz which helps you find out the doughnut that matches your personality. My answers are mostly D's and my doughnut personality is Caramel Kreme Crunch.
Thank you very much Krispy Kreme for the invitation. Its was a blast day. Thank you also for the awesome souvenirs!! I had a big smile on after I tried my Krispy Kreme tshirt. Finally a freebie that is made for me! I usually receive a larger tshirts so I end up looking like a hanger when Im wearing it.
