Like A Boss

Jacket: Wrangler / Shirt, Jeans & Heels: Zara

Badass. That's what this jean jacket from Wrangler is all about. And badass is what I wanted to project with this denim-on-denim look. I've mentioned in a couple of previous posts that when it comes to jackets, I like them big and loose. And where can you usually find bigger-sized jackets? The men's section...which is one of my not-so-secret treasure trove of great clothing finds. So yes, you deduced it right -- I got this jacket from the men's section of Wrangler. Cool beans!

Strip(e) Me

Shirt: Sheinside / Jeggings: Wrangler / Heels: Mango / Earrings, Bangles & Clutch: SM Accessories

Last Thursday night, I attended the launch party for the Head & Shoulders Volcanoes rugby team (there are a lot of eye candies in this team, ladies! Haha!). Since it was a casual event, I opted for a clean, simple but streamlined look. I turned to my favorite jeans (or jeggings) from Wrangler and paired it with a lightweight striped top from Sheinside (I can already envision myself wearing this with a pair of leather shorts for summer) and some modest heels (which I haven't worn for a long time!). Kept my accessories to a minimum and just went with a foldover clutch and a few pieces of jewelry.

Romantic

Jeggings: Wrangler / Top: Pinkaholic / Shoes: Finsk / Necklace: FRKRS / Bag: SM Accessories

Remember my previous post on the Wrangler Abby jeggings? Well, I wasn't kidding when I said that I was obsessed with them. I was so darn obsessed that I even got them in another color...black! These jeggings actually look more like skinny jeans than leggings -- that's how great the denim material is (yes, repetition of the same statement from the previous post is a must). For this black pair, I decided to display a bit of my "feminine side" by donning a pretty bare-shoulder top (from Pinkaholic) which had "R-O-M-A-N-T-I-C" spelled all over it. While this top may have been a bit girly for my taste, it had a bohemian/hippie appeal to it which I positively responded to. I can already imagine myself pairing this top with frayed denim shorts and harness boots. Do I smell another music festival look brewing? Why, yes! Haha!

Summer Is Here

 Top: Wrangler / Pants: Zara / Shoes: Aldo / Eyewear: Karen Walker

Summer is upon us and what way better to celebrate it than with a summer-inspired look -- with a pair of tropicana pants and a tie-knot denim shirt (see the other ways I've worn this Wrangler shirt here and here). On a similar note, I'm so excited for the upcoming weeks and months! A lot of local "music festivals" are popping up here and there and summer is definitely the best season to enjoy these type of events. I hope I can go to all of them! Wish me luck! Haha!

That's all for now! Hope y'all are enjoying the long break!

Like Second Skin

Jeggings: Wrangler / Robe: Vanilla Label / Pumps: Stella McCartney / Necklace: SM Accessories

These Abby jean leggings ("jeggings") from Wrangler are a gem! I'm obsessed with them! Unlike most jeggings (which are made of cheap material), these Abby leggings are made of high quality denim and they fit like second skin (think super skinny jeans with the extra stretch). For these jeans' debut, I opted to pair it with my overused and abused zebra-print robe (wore these a million times already! as seen here, here, here & here). Expect to see these jeggings in more posts!

P.S. Have a blessed Holy Week, everyone! How are you going to spend your Holy Week?

Low Key

 Jacket: thrifted / Top & Boots: Topshop / Shorts: Wrangler / Bag: SM Accessories / Sunglasses & Jewelry: Arm Party Manila

Once again, I apologize for the erratic posts. I was busy working on different things and I also just spent the past weekend in my favorite summer spot, La Union (if you're following me on Instagram, you would've probably seen my updates whilst I was enjoying big time in the northern surf central). Beach trips always call for low-key dressing, hence the casual ensemble comprised of my trusty Wrangler denim shorts (wore this the whole time while lounging on the beach, frolicking in the sand and pigging out -- haha!), a pair of worn-in boots, a bomber jacket (in case it got chilly at night), an ethnic-print rucksack which I got from the men's section of SM Accessories (this bag was able to carry all of my knick-knacks...and then some!) and cool eyewear and accessories swag from Arm Party Manila.

For the regular readers of this blog, you're probably tired of seeing numerous posts about my trips to La Union but I'm still gonna share photos anyway because I love that place so much. A photodiary is coming out soon. You've been warned. Haha!

Hailey

Jeans: Wrangler / Jacket & Eyewear: Mango / Shirt: Street Beat Boutique / Shoes: Pedro / Bangles: Mauve / Earrings: Satine

My insatiable love affair with denim jeans continues with this pair of Cool Max Hailey indigos from Wrangler. These Cool Max jeans are pretty cool, both in the literal and figurative sense. The fabric technology in these jeans is specifically engineered to tackle the challenge of constant, sudden and changing weather conditions -- these jeans keep you cool and clean during hot and humid weather and also provides accelerated drying time and insulation effects when it's cold or rainy). Now, styling these jeans was a pretty easy feat. All I had to do was to bring my high heels out and throw on a leather jacket over a random top -- in this case, a vintage rock band tee. Heels and jackets can truly do wonders and this formula always works for me.

P.S. How cute are the heart-shaped peeptoes on my pumps? Very fitting for the upcoming Valentine's, right? :)
