Hello my little lovelies!

They say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So what do you do if you find yourself smack right in the middle of the trendiest street this side of Asia?

Do as the Manilenos do, and shop til your hearts (and wads of cash) drops!

There is something about shopping (a.k.a. retail therapy) in Manila that gives you quite a high. Don't know if it's the dirt cheap sale prices, or the amount of eye candy (talking about trendy, hunky shoppers) I get to ogle on that gives me this I-can-rock-the-world-in-high-heels feeling.

Or maybe it's the fact that I can practically wear anything, or any trend, without getting crossed looks from people now as opposed to how people did four or five years ago. I love how the Philippine fashion industry is moving at top speed, and how we are no longer mere spectators if its glory. We, the deprived generation of yesterday, are finally the moving and driving force of (fashion) today.

No longer are we looking at glossy prints wishing we could be the person beyond the image, but today we are that image. We have the power to create and style looks based on who we are an how we feel --and we are (a lot more) free to express ourselves without worrying what others might think. 
I like to believe that the we are the Romans of today - innovative and at the forefront of building the next fashion forward Colosseum.
Only question is, are you here for the ride as well?

Sweet Temptation

Happy Friday, Everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the chilly weather right now. I know I am. It makes dressing up a lot more fun since I can play with a lot layers. But before I bid my spring dresses goodbye, let me show you a cute little piece I have been eyeing for quite a while from ROMWE . This is the Backless Nude Shift Dress I have recently gotten from this store. I love the texture and the draping on this one. It makes me feel like I am somewhat, a Goddess ( in my dreams! ) I absolutely adore the back! Love the little bow that holds it all together. Too sweet for words! And I love the side cut-out as well. It adds such a wonderful effect to this dress. Pardon my consistent gawking, but is it not to die for? Speaking of things to die for, I am currently reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children . Recently, I have been interested in twisted/tragic novels such as these, so if you could recommend any good ones please leave me a
