After more than four decades of waiting, the Philippines has come to reach its most coveted victory in the Universe. It's been a week already since Pia Wurtzbach was crowned as the Miss Universe 2015 yet, most of us are still not over with it.
It took her three attempts to bring home the crown that every beauty queen is aspiring for. From her first try to join the Binibining Pilipinas in 2013, she ended up as the first runner up while on her second try in 2014, she went home with nothing. But this year, Pia proved that third time's a charm because she bagged the title Binibining Pilipinas-Universe. Meaning, she will represent the country in the most prestigious beauty pageant in the universe.
Knowing her story, I realized something. Successful people are the ones who know what they want and do something about it. For Pia, she wanted the crown so bad that it didn't stop her to chase her ultimate dream. Look at where she is now, the elusive crown is on her already. Because of her good example, she has inspired many people. And I have to admit that, I am, too. With her journey to victory, she taught me some things:

It's the time of the year again where parties are everywhere. Because it's December already and Christmas is just around the corner, I'm pretty sure that you are in need of time to rush to the mall to buy gifts and a beautiful dress for the Christmas party that you've been waiting for. But isn't it a hassle to jump in a pool of people having the same dilemma as yours? This is the season to be jolly, right? Not the season to be stressed.
But, it's more hassle when you run to the mall without knowing what to buy. So, here I am, sharing with you some of the best styles of dresses to wear in a party this Holiday season.
A-Line or One-Shoulder Dress. If you're the conservative kind of girl and wants to party comfortably, choose this kind of dress. This does not show too much of you but lets you party in style and gives you the comfort you want.
Bodycon Dress. Girls who are more adventurous in fashion and want to emphasize their figures opt for this style. A bodycon dress is perfectly fit to your body and make you look sexier. I'm sure, this dress is a head-turner!
Shining, shimmering, splendid! What's a party without the glitter? Come on! If you really want to stand out in the crowd, you better wear something that will let you shine (literally and figuratively). Isn't this dress such a beauty?
These dresses might look expensive but trust me, they're more affordable than you think they are! In fact, you can buy a dress at PromTimes UK under $50! So, what are you waiting for? Instead of rushing to the mall, go to their website and with few clicks away, you'll have your dress already! :)

Accessories are those pieces that
effortlessly complete your outfit. Providing the very best contrast or
complement to your look, handbags in their various forms (clutches, bucket
bags, chain bags or rucksacks) can pop with colour, prove an understated
counterpart or offer a splash of luxury. Handbags can often be the most
covetable part of a designer’s collection, because they are statement
accessories that are not only very pretty but designed for practicality. We are
busy people who need a lot of things with us all the time: we, therefore,
need something chic, cool and comfortable to carry them around in! Many of us
can’t afford to splurge on the latest ‘It’ bag, because many of them, made from
premium materials like leathers, textures and suedes can run up to thousands of
pounds. If we're, however, to win the lottery or somehow come into big money,
these are undeniably the pieces from the A/W 2015 collections that we would
look to.
Dolce
& Gabbana
A collection inspired by motherhood and
family, Dolce and Gabbana’s was an opulent collection that saw red roses, lace,
scrawled messages and the designers’ childhood drawings printed all over
dresses and bags in hues of pink, blue, gold and red. Their bags were no
different, and they exhibited mini-bags that were full of impact. This bag
replicating a Renaissance painting of the Madonna and child comes complete with
a gilded frame. Complete with a small padlock and a dinky chain, this one is
heartfelt, adorable, a novelty piece that will make a statement every time you
use it. Make like the models at D&G and pair it with your most opulent
evening outfit (shop at Mary Jane Fashion) an embellished red dress for example, or to add a
hint of color to a chic pair of tapered trousers and a blazer.
Fendi
We all know that in winter time—with the
inevitable rain, wind, snow and sleet—that a faux fur bag is probably not the
most practical items to be carried around. This piece from Fendi, however,
is something that many fashion conscious people will aspire to own. In a dusty
pink shade with a small handle and a clasp, it is a compact and a luxuriously
soft alternative to the hardy leathers and patent textures seen elsewhere at
fashion week. It would probably be best to use it purely as an indoor bag, for cosy get-togethers and soirees or for trips to the theatre or art
gallery. It’s highly unlikely that this bag would last very long if it was
taken for a night out for dancing and cocktails!
Valentino
For my last bag, you’ll forgive me from
nicking a piece from Valentino’s men’s collection. But with a bag this
beautiful, splashed from top to toe with fascinating, colourful butterflies, it
was very hard to resist. Rucksacks are a great bag alternative to the classic
over-the-shoulder or satchel number because they are infinitely better for you and also help to make your back look as pretty as possible. True, you
wouldn’t want to wear one to a black tie event, but for polished trips out shopping,
returning books to the library or just going for a country ramble, this bag is
the one we’d definitely go for.

As you may obviously know, when it comes to finding a dreamy and romantic location for a wedding, the beach mostly comes first to our minds. No wonder why beach wedding is the trend now. If you are planning to have one, you have to consider some things before plunging your feet on the sand. Here's a short guide for you to help out in your beach wedding dress:
1. Choose a color that compliments the location. Since you're in a beach, you might want to consider light or pastel colors for your dress and your entourage to compliment the romantic views of the blue water, fine white sand and the golden sunset. Or, just stick with the traditional white dress to be safe.
2. Wear the right dress. I'm hoping that you're not thinking of wearing a ball gown in a beach 'cause if you are, girl, you're doing it wrong. Walking on the sand is hard what more if you're wearing a heavy dress, right? Don't stress yourself out in your special day. Try to set aside that idea and go with beach wedding dresses UK. Get a neat and casual but beautifully flowing style is a perfect beach wedding dress and be ready to get sand in between your toes.

When it comes to dresses, I am very particular. From the cuts to beads to fabric and to fitting, I make it a point that everything is made perfectly especially if it's custom-made. Every time I am invited to be in the entourage in a wedding, I always have my dress custom-made. Though I expect it to be tailored perfectly, I can't avoid that there will still be mishaps and ruin everything that's planned. I never bought a dress before to be worn in a wedding though I've been tempted so many times. You know why? Because I know that, that dress I might buy in the mall or elsewhere is not the only one. There are tons of it and I'm terrified to see someone in the same wedding wearing the same dress as me. Worst nightmare that could ever happen to any girl.
What more if it happens to a bride? Custom-made wedding dresses can be very risky, too, because you have no idea of how the dress will turn out. We can never rely on the sketch itself especially if you don't really know your couturier. Not only that, sometimes, it takes a lot of time and effort to discuss everything with her. Good thing, there's a site that can help you make your dream gown to life easier than ever.
Lunss helps the brides-to be to achieve the dress they're visualizing. Their designers offers consultation throughout the process and will be there to assist you until you are satisfied. With their easy steps and high quality fabrics, your dream wedding gown can turn into reality and make your pocket happy.

One common problem of girls nowadays are short and thin hair so most of us like to wear hair extensions especially during on a photoshoot and sometimes, on a daily basis to have a bolder and fuller hair. But isn't it a hassle to wear them?
It feels heavy and uncomfortable at times. But with the new kind of clip in hair extensions, you will no longer fret. With its 70g-160g in weight, it will surely meet your preferences and give you the convenience to wear and take it off.
Also, I found out that there is such thing as hair weave that is becoming a trend now. Because of its soft silky feeling and tangle-free, most women choose this kind of extension. It also gives you the natural look you have been wanting to achieve while wearing hair extensions.
But if you're into the traditional type, micro loop hair extensions can be perfect for you. It adds versatility to styling. This kind of extension is perfect for those who have thin hair that makes clip in hair extensions not possible. This could also help those who have short hairs who want to have long and soft locks.

If there's one thing I would not trade for any kind of accessory, it would be a pair of sunglasses. Being in a tropical country, sunnies are must-haves! Not only that it adds style to our ootds but wearing sunglasses also have benefits you should know of.
1. It protects your eyes from UV Rays. I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times already but it won't hurt to remind it to you again, right? Too much exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause several eye problems such as cataract and cancer.
2. It decreases dry-eye problems. Ha! Surprised to know this? Well, me too! One cause of having dry-eyes is the windy environment especially those that occur in dry climates. Wearing sunglasses can protect your eyes from this by blocking the wind and dust.
3. Your eyes will be debris-free! Oh girl, this has got to be one of the most important benefits we can gain from wearing sunglasses. Not to mention, the main reason why I wear sunnies. My eyes are very prone to debris and I hate it whenever that crap finds a way to access my eyes. It's really a hassle and I always feel worried of what might happen especially if I wasn't able to wash it out from my eyes. The struggle is real! I don't want to scare you but they may be tiny and barely seen but it can cause you huge trouble!

To begin with, I am not really a fan of accessories and anything that jewelry is concerned. But when I saw Angara’s collection, oh boy, my jaw dropped and seldom times that I get fascinated with jewelries. I must say, they have really nice items. Each gemstone represents a certain style and character that is perfect for every woman. With their world-class products, no wonder they will be in the business for 10 years already.
Their success in the business shows that their products are worth your trust. They won’t be celebrating their 10th year if their products are not as good as it should be and if their clients don’t trust them, right? And what struck me the most is, they have been featured in Forbes, Crain's, Women's Wear Daily, Daily Candy, Harvard Business Review and others. Their 10th year is just a proof that what you pay is what you get.
And to celebrate their 10th Anniversary, they have a gift for you! With their Anniversary Sale, they give you a 20% off for their Exclusive Collection.
And to you my dear readers, use the Code "10Years"for Special 20% OFF

Love, love, love. Have you ever felt that moment when you really want to shout because of the love and happiness that is overcoming you? Oh, how great it is to fall in love. At the right time. With the right person.
Earlier this afternoon, I watched this series from a local noon time show which we call here in the Philippines as Kalyeserye. The series revolves on the love story of a guy named Alden and the girl known as Yaya Dub. If you're from the Philippines, you would totally get me why I feel so kilig every time I see them. The show reminds us that when it comes to love, we should take it slow and wait for the right time. Here, the not-so-antagonist, Lola ni Dora, keeps on making challenges to the loveteam to test how true their love for each other is.
All they want is a happy ever after.
Just like all the couples who will soon meet at the altar and promise to God that in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, 'til death do they part. Oh, weddings.
Whenever I encounter a topic about weddings, I always look forward to what the bride has worn or will wear. Because of that, I became familiar to different designs so I can tell already what could possibly be the trend of wedding dresses 2016.
Seeing numerous styles of gowns in a wedding, I can see that lace wedding dresses could totally top the list any time soon! Well, why not? Its classic and sophisticated look surely catches every bride's taste. Then I found out that Landybridal has the stylish and glamorous designs of wedding dresses which a girl could ask for.

Honey, I promise to give you the freedom to be a successful girl...
But know this, in this journey, I will hold your hand. I will always be there.
So don't be afraid to follow your dreams and all the sacrifices you've made.
This is one of the most touching and sincere vows I've heard. Oh weddings. I never get tired of watching wedding videos. Every time I get to see one, I also get to hear new stories of two persons who are truly, madly, and deeply in love with each other. I feel like I'm in a new place. A place where everything seems so perfect.
As a fan of fairy-tales, I've always dreamed of being a princess but, I know I won't be. Well, perhaps in the arms of my future husband (cheesy haha). Okay, stop this cheesiness and let's get serious here, okay? If you ask me what kind of wedding I'd like to have, I would say that it would be a garden or a beach wedding. Why not? I think the ambiance adds sweetness to that special event, isn't it? Whenever I see such weddings, I can't help but let my romantic side out. And since weddings in the sand are the trends now, maybe this is the perfect time to share with you some beach wedding dresses I found in Cocomelody.

They say, when you start working straight from college (I mean really straight), everything will go on and on and on... and on. You will not gonna experience so many things that your college buddies who chose to take a time off first before working.
That sun-kissed tan from the beach... that DIY workshop you've been wanting to attend to... that "me time" somewhere while reading a good book... or those days spending for your blog. Oh man, you're gonna miss these so bad.
When I was in college, I had the urge in my vein to work already after I stepped on that center stage. And fortunately, I was offered immediately, even before I graduate, to work in a prestigious company that everybody (okay, most) in my field dreams of.
On my first day, I was this excited girl who can't wait to see her own desk and meet new people from a not-so-strange environment. First few weeks has gone by so fast. But the succeeding weeks, the demanding schedule and tasks followed me. I realized, what people keeps saying about working after college is true. Once you're trapped in your chair and computer, you no longer have the time to do the things you want like before. No time excuse has become my usual line whenever I'm asked to hang out.
Heck it's hard to work.
I've been in this stage where I really want to stop for a moment and... go home. Every time I tell this to people, they always advise me to take a break. It sounds easy but it's really hard to do. Knowing that our schedule should be flexible and we're not tied to a strict Monday to Friday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM, our work really demands us to be in the office 24/7. I am not overreacting. Literally, 24/7. And I know that. Life in Media is very demanding and most of the time, exhausting. #TheTruthAboutOurWork
Although it's not easy for me to juggle every single day away from my family and the things I love, at the end of the day, there is something that is pulling me to stay still. My dreams. My goals.
Whenever I feel down and unmotivated, I always keep myself thinking what led me here and followed by why am I here. My dreams and goals keep me going through that tiny hole of the needle. And even if it's really hard, I have to be strong and positive to keep going.
I have to work hard to play hard. I know it's hard at first but eventually, everything will pay off.
No one made a difference by staying in their comfort zone.
The girl once said hi to the world,
It asked her,
Was it nice to meet me?
She answered,
Of course! I'm so glad to meet you!
She answered,
Of course! I'm so glad to meet you!
