That Little Dress

I'll be missing out the Sarbay Festival this year. I'm supposed to be heading to Saranggani in a few hours but due to some last minute blogging commitments, I will not be able to go. No I'm not sulking, blogging is my first love and I will always take pride in complying the tasks. Partying can wait (oh gosh I need to repeat that over and over in my head). Alright, for the love of blogging I'll do this. :)

Dress: Forever21 | Flats: Forever21 
(all from little fifi an online store selling authentic and brand new U.S. products but in much lesser price- almost half actually)
Headband: Mom| Necklace: Tita | Ring: Tomliz

 Rarely do you see me in a bun -- I went for it 'cause I don't want to cover that pretty embellishment.

Sorry for the stain I might have leaned somewhere. Clumsy me as always tsk tsk.

I know what you guys are thinking, that dress is too short for me, well yes it is. I just stole it from my niece -- who happens to be a 6 years old little girl (emphasis on the word little haha). I fell in love with the color, the details and the cut, so I grabbed it automatically (crazy as I can be, trying to fit in with that little dress, I know! ). I was actually going to pair it with a white jeans but unfortunately it was still on the laundry so it left me with no choice but to go for the mini shorts. I was too lazy to dress up due to various factors. In times of this dilemma I usually go for tailored pieces and work of an art embellishments. It's another pass for being stylish in an effortless way -- less accessories, less fuzz and frizz.

I wore this to another shoot for the T.V. show. The funny thing, initially we're just going to do a pull-out of clothes from clothesbar but our director Ms. Jill decided to take some shots, I was caught off-guard. Lesson learned: Always dress your best, you'll never know what comes next ;) This was at Legaspi Suites.

SaturDate at Manna

 It's been a while since the last time I went out on a date. I'm so glad that even with our busy schedules, my mom and I were able to push-through a date together after a long time. Yeah it was sort of a mother-daughter date (so Billy relax! haha).

Last Saturday after doing another blogger duties, my mom called inviting me for a late lunch. I wanted to try something new, so we went to give it a try at Manna a Korean Restaurant at Sky Garden SM Lanang Premiere.   

 Side dishes

  Samgyeopsal - korean style bacon, rashers of bacon, grilled at the table, and dipped in a mixture of sesame oil salt. It is served with a lettuce as a wrap-on and a variety of side dishes. 

I will never get tired of doing this (grilling), it makes me feel I look such a good cook -- well in fact I don't even know how to cook at all :)).

We also had the following orders:

Jhapchae - noodles with sauteed vegetables, a colorful dish made with glass noodles, beef, carrot and spinach in a soy sauce seasoning.

Dukbaegi Bulgogi - beef in a soy sauce marinade, cooked with vegetables and glass noodles in broth, it is cooked and served in earthenware pot with rice.

It was a one fine meal :)

Glam Up for Style Origin 2013

This summer is jam-packed blogging season for me, nothing to complain with all the blessings coming my way. I'm pretty much enjoying the perks of being a blogger - the fruit of my labor :)).  One of which is this year's Style Origin held in Abreeza Mall. Thank you Davao Bloggers and Abreeza Mall for the pass. Having the privilege, it fires me to step a notch higher on promoting not only fashion but blogging as well. Not the perks of being one, but the power to let people know how Davao is doing - and definitely Davao is doing well and great!

Sheers are taking center stage in glam events. This girl is all ready to wear anything even the skin-baring bottoms but not in the case for a top [ I need more time to meditate and to hit the gym as well haha ]. I wore a nude tank top as my undergarment to give out the illusion and to avoid covering the beautiful embellishments.

The all-true but over used statement: "You can never go wrong with black" but because its Dawn's, will the white and gold be absent on the ensembles? Of course not! Now I'm all glam up :D

Looking for my blogger lovies Janvie and Kwesh who also are in attendance to the event.

Matches the glitz and glamour the Metro Davao offers. 

Nude Tank Top: Seductions | Sheer Top: thrifted | Skirt: Bazaar Finds

Heels: Forever21 | Necklace: Tomliz | Watch: Anne Klein

Next month I will turn 22 but before I hit that number I just want to applaud my 21st year. It was the best year so far. And what a way to end it with shooting a t.v show, making the DFB's blogs coming to life which  includes mine. Hopefully it will air in my birth month or a month after. Not bad for the first leg of being 22 right? I couldn't ask for more, I feel so blessed :D

Cover It Up

Living my life based on my name, it's pass 4am and still I'm wide awake. Messed up body clock is not new to me, but this has been the scenario since summer has started which is quite alarming. Insomnia's getting worse as day passes and this is definitely not a good thing. After tonight I'll give myself a set of rules to follow. Mission: Discipline dawny! Goodluck to me :|

 Rule of Fashion Combo: #1 Bare top + covered bottom. #2 Covered top + skin-baring bottom. It's not good to show too much.

 I'm always into that combo #2 skin-baring bottom with my go-to-pieces of shorts, skirts and tailored dresses but with this outfit I'm following that combo #1.

    We were bound for Tienda del Meracado in support of dfb's very own Pat Bacaltos and Janvie Tiu, together with Aidx Paredes. Since tienda was the location so I opted to go sexy on top but covered below and went for earthly colors, I don't want to catch the attention of drunk people. Corsets are like the sexiest thing to wear ever and I'm just not fit for it [if you know what I mean :))]. So what I did was I grabbed a blazer but kept a portion open just to let the lace bring in the game.
