Abercrombie & Fitch: Summer Getaway

Summer's almost over! At least it is here in the Philippines. Have you gone to the beach this summer? If you haven't, it's not yet too late. But before you feel the summer breeze and get a last minute tan, what better way to spend a day at the perfect summer destination than to spend it with style. Here are some outfit inspirations and beach must-haves courtesy of ABERCROMBIE & FITCH.

I'm not a fan of printed matchy-matchy clothes. Bikini tops need not be paired with its original bikini bottoms. Quick tip, you just have to match the colors of the bikini top and the bottom. My personal style, either one should be in a solid color while keep the other printed. Wear a low rise shorts and muscle tank as a cover-up and pair it with your leather flip flops. Lastly, grab your beach hat, a pair of sunglasses and tote bag to finish the perfect beach look.

ROMWE Black Tee

Another day, another blog post. Forgive my over enthusiasm on sharing so much about fashion. But I promise, it will get better everyday. So I'll just keep it all coming for you.

If you've read my previous post, you know by now that a Polyvore Contest (which I surprisingly won) made me decide to start blogging. Well, a few days after my first win, I received another message informing me that I won yet again. I honestly hope that this winning streak won't stop. Keep on inspiring me Polyvore and everybody who gives out contests and chooses my sets. :)

This post is dedicated to inspire you to come up with an amazing ensemble wearing your ROMWE Round Neck Triangle Print Black T-shirt.

Tees are popular during the summer because it is definitely more comfortable than some of our wrap-around-clothes. You can turn this simple Romwe Round Neck Triangle Print Black T-shirt into a stylish summer outfit. Match the tee with denim shorts, a long cardigan and a wide brim straw hat to complete the perfect summer look.

Wear your Romwe Round Neck Triangle Print Black T-shirt with a ripped denim shorts, military-esque ankle boots and finish it off with a pair of sunglasses.

Debut

Everything has its first time. This, dolls, is my first serious (hopefully successful) blog dedicated to inspire you on the latest fashion trends. Yes, another fashion blog people! I guess you weren't really surprised with that. But hey! Cut me some slack and give me a chance to show you what I got for you.

So why a fashion blog? I joined POLYVORE four years ago but didn't really have the guts (and talent) to mix and match clothes that are actually "wear-able", and decided to abandon it altogether. Until this month when I decided to revisit the site and tried to unleash the stylista in me and designed outfits freestyle. And yes, you guessed it right, NO LIKES (haha). 

I was ready to give up outfit designing on Polyvore, but decided to give it one last shot. A message appeared on my dashboard when I opened my page. A contest invitation was sent to me. For those of you who does not have any idea what a Polyvore Contest is, it basically invites you to style a certain type of clothing and the winner gets the item being promoted. I made my first Bohemian-inspired mixed and matched outfit. 

A few hours later, I checked my design and the overwhelming likes and comments motivated me to do a few more outfits to share. When the contest ended, I was surprised to see my outfit won first place. Which brings us back to the birth of my new blogging career (crossing fingers).

As a tribute to the bohemian-inspired outfit that inspired me to start blogging, I am more than happy to share my masterpiece to you and a few more of my put-together outfits, styling the WALKTRENDY White Sleeveless Print Vest Dress. 

This is my first ever winning design. A bohemian-inspired outfit never goes out of style. Match your Walktrendy White Sleeveless Print Vest Dress with a kimono, throw in a layered long necklace and finish it off with a beaded tribal sandals.
