Striking Gorgeous!

We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are. When we look we see the reflections of our being. When we touch we feel it from the bottom of our heart. If we do not like what we see and what we touch, there is no point in smashing the mirror, just be ourselves and accept the fact who we are. 

These African prints sometimes can be beyond the usual limit of the concept of the taste of others when it comes in fashion; Is it cliché? or way too trendy? see it for yourself, feel it for yourself. Don't be afraid to wear it. There is no harm done if we try to wear it. Be bold and gorgeous!

Break the Norms! Be Dynamic!

Vogue are continuously evolving or changing, it is something we can pick up, as days/months/season goes by along. Later we are our own master of our own style. We can easily break the fashion color norms as long as we can pull out the outfits in full confidence. There are certain rules that meant to be broken when it comes to fashion rules.

No wearing white after labor day. What is wrong with white? White is amazing, neat looking, glamorous, fresh looking and white is pure. Giving us more uplifting and vibrant day.

Here are few items of a perfect combination of all white. Add more accessories like watch or bangles and pearl earrings, for a sophisticated look.

Bag,Shoes,and Belt should match all together. Been hearing this myth since I was in my 6th grade or 1st year high. Most of my teachers were following this style, at first it looked so fancy but afterwards kinda boring,and at some point it became as part of their uniform. 

Mix match of shoes, bags and belts are totally cool. It will always give emphasis on your looks.

Shoes and bags that you can actually mix it together, it blend well though.

No mixing of prints. Why not? mixing prints are totally awesome though especially if you can rock the mix print outfit though. Don't be afraid to experiment on your daily outfit and it's been popular nowadays.

Few print items that you can mix it together. It is a very cool street style.

Navy and Black doesn't match together. Again who said that navy and black is not look together? I think navy and black really blend together, it just depends on how confident you are on pulling this color norms though. Just be brave to try it.

No mixing gold and silver. Gold and silver are good combination, since it compliments any metallic shades and it looks so stunning and classy.

Photo courtesy of elle-yeah: Gold and silver it works well together. Add up in your accessories lists. It gives something extra extra on your looks.



This is the essence of a fashion is all about. Breaking the norms! Be dynamic! trend is constantly changing and evolving. We can work it out our own style, our own trend, our own look and we can rock on all the trendy outfits out there.

Looking Something NEW?

A Journey has molded us for our greater good and it was exactly what it needed to be. Some of us think that we've lost time, which is not healthy for our well being. Practice not to think that we've lost time;in life there is no short cutting line. It took each and every situation  we had had encountered in our daily living to bring what we are now.

Transformation is possible anytime; a person nor a situation can transform, it is just a matter of  under the proper condition of faith,belief and trust in ourselves, never give up trying something new. We only live once and that once make it happen to the fullest. 

I myself had a huge transformation in my life. It all started when my ex-husband just dumped me for a shallow reason though, that I don't even know that it was existed until I received a text message from him (while I was spending my holiday off with my parents back home) that he filed the divorced. I know right! what a coward? Doesn't even have the guts to tell in my face that "hey! let's get divorce". So yeah my life was ruined those days, I was so devastated and my whole world crashed into pieces and it was very hurtful because he was my first love ( yeh, my first bf as well xD). Pretty tough for me to moved on when the love of your life just broke you into pieces that scattered all over the place that I don't even know where to start picking up those broken pieces that he left me. I seek helped I've been in a therapy for about 20months, my therapists suggested to go out, make new friends, see the beauty outside the four corners of once I called "home sweet home". I did do what my therapy told me; I made a tons of friends and that's the time that I figured it out that nothing is wrong with me cos I easily made friends. I was blaming myself that there might be something wrong with me that's why my ex husband left me. Despite the fact that he left me I never get angered/mad or blaming him for making my heart broken. At some point I should thanked him for leaving me,since the time he left me I started looking something new in my life. I started to gathered all the pieces that left behind and I found out that I am not an impotent girl, that I am very active, sociable and cheerful girl and I figured it out that I am an independent, strong, brave, optimistic and a positive woman.

After those dilemmas in my life I started to take care myself, look myself and love myself first (of course my parents will always be priorities) not selfish though! nevertheless, I learned a lot! like a lot(too many too mention xD) yet, I am still in a process of learning something new! especially how to get out totally from my comfort zone! yes I know I've been through a lot of dilemmas but I still have my comfort zone, and I can't escape yet too afraid to get out from my zone. 

This is just a brief of transformation in my life. I am always ready to face now  all the challenges that comes along my path. Because this is what life means to me. Face all the challenges; forgetting my past ( but looked what it taught me) don't look the future ( but be ready what it will give me) and live my life to the present cos I am here now today living and breathing at this current time. <3

Happy weekend!
