I really hope you guys will join the said event. Let us do our part to save those people who are in need. 

Pray for the Philippines

I'am a proud Pinoy, who adores her country and will protect her country no matter what. While I'm growing up. Opening my mind to many things that come in my way. I have been used to be in harsh situations like this. But seeing people who are on the streets with no homes, finding missing family members, with nowhere to go, I feel sad. We all know that live unfair. Some people who are so fortunate to have roof over their heads, a blanket to cover our shivering bodies at night, While some families feel the coldness outside while they are in evacuation centers. In reality, most filipinos aren't as fortunate as us. Let us take a moment of silent and offer our prayers to those in need. and to babies and children to prevent from sickness, to those people who serve our country well. filipinos are known to be loving, caring, hospitable, happy people. through times of strife, we always manage to put  smile on our faces, because we have faith to god that in our everyday life a challenge to us. offering prayers wouldn't be so hard.

Donating to government agencies would also be a big help to our nation. Let us offer service to our kababayans in any way we can. We may complain about pretty matter, let's just put it aside and focus to other people who are in need. As you can see people are fighting for their lives. This is a call to action, a call to do something. a call to help out. It's the least we can do to give back what we have. let's just be thankful for what we have. then again may I remind you to please take a moment a pray for those people who had been suffering through the awful weather that had hit our country,

Thank You,
GodBless you guys xx

High-Waist Skirt: How to wear it?

With so many alterations to the trend, adapting it to your spring / summer wardrobe might prove to be more challenging than usual. This trend has more to it than a clear-cut direction to shop straight out of a collection catalogue. The high-waist skirt is about how to style pieces together and work with your individual body types.

Here are some tips on how to pick the best version for you :

• To start with, pick another trend from the spring 2012 trend books that you'd like to style the high-waist skirt with. It can be summer layering, androgyny. sports couture or metallic. A high-waist skirt doesn't give solo performances; it need assistance and this where you'd ideally start.

• The length of the skirt is varied this season. It depends on the occasion you're styling the look for. For a high tea or brunch affair, go for one centimeter above or just brushing the top of the knee; specifically if it's a poodle chiffon skirt. Go bold and mini-length for a night out in town. There's also an array of options before you when picking the shape of the high-waist skirt - sharp and tailored or voluminous and girly.
• Unlike its earlier revival, you don't have to tuck-in the blouse or top. This spring, leave the top out and belt it over the skirt for extra precision. Don't be afraid to wear a blazer over a singlet and high-waist skirt - this trend renewal has broken all the previously established rules.
• Pair cleverly; don't mix sheer layering with a mini-skirt, for instance. Categorize the trends you prefer for the season and work with them.
• If skirts aren't your thing then go for high-waist tailored shorts. An example of this thing then go for high-waist tailored shorts. An example of this is seen on the carven spring 2012 runaway. If going for high-waist shorts, keep the length short (mid-thigh and well-fitted), otherwise it'll look a confused version of shorts and pants. 
• Don't be afraid to mix pattern on pattern or bold colours together. It's a trend that deserves a whole lot of fun styling. 
• You can accessorize with a belt over the skirt and cinch the waist even more so.

There you go guys ! I hope I'll helped you how to wear ur high-waist skirt. I had fun doing this blogpost. School is coming, BUSY BUSY BUSY ! :/

High Waist Skirt

This Spring, the easiest way to tap into the retro movement is by introducing a high-waist skirt to your wardrobe. It can be formal piece with strict lining and mobility or one imitating the playful silhouette of the '50s.


HOW THE HIGH-WAIST SKIRT MAKES YOU LOOK GREAT ? 

- Acquiring an hourglass silhouette by the means of clothes seems to be a hit among women, much credited to the Marilyn Monroe phenomenon. and there are very few item of clothing that can help you achieve that. Women in the fifties used the high-waist skirt to parade their voluptuous assets, and women today are aiming to do the same.

A high-waist skirt wraps your body in its province like a cocoon; whether it's an A-Line skirt or a straight-cut tailored pencil skirt. The concentration is diverted back to the waistline with ribbed fabric, elastic band or a belt-like appearance. In an instant, your legs appear longer, your waist looks tinnier and you posture gets a boost. What more could you ask for ?

Sorry to cut it for you guys. But I have to cut this post, tomorrow I will post the other one related to this one of course. So please stay tune to my blog. :)

2012: How to carry an Doctor's bag

How to carry it : 

For a with such a prominent shape, it's important to note that it has the capability of overshadowing all other accessories that are part of an outfit. Despite the colour you choose, Gladstones are predominantly the leader of the pack and you have to give them the credit they demand. Hence, here are a few things to keep in mind, before you tuck in this baby under your under arm and walk out of the house, as like that easy peezy :)) : 

• It's not a typical shapeless tote (with zero compartments) that eventually becomes a part of your outfit. Gladstones are to be treated like a classic vintage piece that need to be styled in the most trusted fashion. They're bold, smart and ooze confidence. Talk about being fierce I say. 
• The most wonderful aspect of the Gladstone is its dual-usability. One day it's carry-to-work bag, and another day it's the perfect travel companion. Don't undervalue its space, and pick one that suits your lifestyle. 
• Due to its boxy shape, be mindful of what you're teaming it with. It works as well with cigarette pants and a blazer, as it does with  a '60s-style midi-length shift dress. But don't carry it with overflowing blouses, or to the beach, for instance. 
• When choosing a colour, go for an all-season variety. One that will last you all through winter and into spring 2012. Some classic shades that'll always work : tan, reddish brown, charcoal black, navy and plum red. 

There you go everyone, I hope I'd given you guys some ideas to use an doctor's bag.

2012 trend : Doctors bag

Who loves bags more than I do? Well due to my daily experience, I found out that many women wears an doctors bag. Well I just found it out last week, Its about time I blog about this (HAHA!) and I even had it researched about it. The modern Gladstone bag. The Gladstone bag, or doctor's bag, was once a workingman's asset - But today has become a woman's arm-luxury. It is very functional, elegant, and back in our sights for 2012, the Gladstone bag is an accessory worth investing in.


What is the Gladstone bag ? 
The Gladstone bag, commercially known as a doctor's bag. Dates back to the 19th century. Men in mainstream professions, for that era at least, such as doctors, lawyers, electricians and plumbers primarily used the bag during the war. And it got its alternative name. Doctor's bag, for obvious reasons.

This light-handed luggage with two hinged compartments was deemed to be a smaller and much more convenient alternative to a suitcase, ideal for overnight train travels. Its single magnetic clutch in the centre made it user-friendly in public spaces, unlike a bulky suitcase. It could be easily stored in limited spaces and was spacious enough to carry tools, papers and a set of extra clothes.

As time passed, the purpose for carrying the gladstone evolved, which subsequently altered the shape of the bag. Smaller suitcases replaces the Gladstone's rigid shape, however doctor's continued to carry its more compact version.

As this efficient trimming took place, the fashion industry got its cue and tailored the doctor's bag to adhere with luxurious fashion's standards. From high-quality leather. silk trimmings to studded metallic features, what used to be a workingman's asset, today has become a woman's luxury. stamped with a legendary logo.

Weit there's more to come guys, Due to my very busy schedule. Well I may have to cut this post this is the part I of my post. and tomorrow I will post the part II, so stay tune at my blog. :)

Chief Clothing

When I saw this video I was like " o_0 " I really liked it and it even inspired me alot. While I was viewing this video. It reminded me all of my friends. We may not get a chance to have roadtrip or just go to the beach and stuffs. But whenever we get a chance to have fun in a simple way. I cherish the moment. It gives me a big smile whenever I get home and saying "Thank God I had friends like them."

When it comes to men's clothing. I'am really a fan of men's clothing. But when I saw Chief Clothing I was completely inspired. Chief Clothing is an independent men's lifestyle clothing brand that started as a vintage shop last year. It actually values the importance of living life. While in the course of life, We all do acts, an act is being influenced by information. Without information a person will not know where to start, and that's chief Clothing's mission. To inform and influence that there is more to one's cycle of life. They encourage us to do something more and to create a society that is open-minded, liberal and entirely experienced.No one can really quantify all the things we can experience in this world, but one can make the most of what he is capable of experiencing. And to promote the idea of this lifestyle, they mix it with a fascinating style of art-film. This Video speaks for the brand and this summer. it tells us to make it extra special ! Go have fun, Enjoy, and live for a moment. Summer comes only once a year. So Why not have some fun under the sun for awhile.
