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 at a party this Holiday season.
A-Line or One-Shoulder Dress. If you're the conservative kind of girl and want 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 wintertime—with the
inevitable rain, wind, snow, and sleet—that a faux fur bag is probably not the
most practical item 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 cozy 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 for
nicking a piece from Valentino’s men’s collection. But with a bag this
beautiful splashed from top to toe with fascinating, colorful 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 into 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 on 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 on 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 on your special day. Try to set aside that idea and go with beach wedding dresses.
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 at 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 at 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 at the same wedding wearing the same dress as me. The 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 offer 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 jewelry. 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 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.

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 with 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 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.
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!

If you would ask me what I'd rather wear during the day (or night), it would be dresses! I used to be the tee-and-jeans-kind-of-girl, but when I discovered the comfort powers of dresses and skirts, I'd have to make my jeans miss me a little. Knowing that my style is very girly, a perfect semi-formal dress from cocomelody would really save the day.
Here are the reasons why I love the dresses from cocomelody:
I can definitely wear the dress from day to night. This is one factor I always consider when buying a clothing item, especially if it's a dress. Aside from wanting to save money, I really opt for something that I can wear anywhere. Say I have a meeting in the morning and an event to go to in the evening, I don't want to bring tons of clothes and change 'no. I want a dress that is perfect for any occasion so I can wear it most of the time.
I can save up as much as 20% every now and then. Now, who does not want to save money from shopping? Someone from the back whispers wait, is that even possible? Well... of course! Aside from cocomelody's cheap semi-formal dresses, you also get to enjoy a 20% discount on all of their collection. What a find!
Last, they are perfect for all ages! Whether you're a working girl or a youngster, cocomelody has everything you want. It's good to know that their products choose no one which is an important thing to consider when shopping for dresses. Remember: What you wear defines your age. Cocomelody has the power to make you look good and feel good when you wear their dresses. These semi formal dresses for teens and women are made perfectly to suit everyone's taste.

Let me start this with a catchy line from the oh-so-famous-young adult book-turned movie, The Fault in Our Stars:
"If you want to see the rainbow, you'd have to deal with the rain first."
So why did I come up to this thought? Well, as quite obvious as it may seem, that is how I am feeling as I write this after I watched the film. Again. Or so I thought.
There was a time when I caught myself staring blankly at the window beside my desk, watching the cars down pass by and observe the rusting roofs from above. Few minutes has gone by, still, my mind wanders everywhere. To my dismay, I found nothing but emptiness. I realized, I'm in a room where everyone calls it a "home" but not really there, then I found myself lost.
Maybe it's something I have to get through and I know, there's something out there that will lead the way to that rainbow.
Even now, I am not pretty sure where this post is going so I'd have to admit that this has got to be one of the non-sense posts I have ever made. See how lost I am? I can't even make a decent article to begin with. So I have decided to just focus on my outfit, which a "fashion blogger" is expected to do, right? I somehow hate to say that. Haha!
I wore this during the Us the Duo Tour in Manila to do my good sister duties by accompanying my sister who's drooling over to see them. If you happen to know them, then good for you. If not, (a little) shame on you dear. 'Cause, how could you? They are the two awesome persons from different sides of the world pulled together by their love for music in which leads them to becoming best friends and turns out, after some years, husband and wife. Just search them, please.
Anyway, I can't believe I pulled out this jacket from my closet after a long time. Would you believe that this jacket has been with me for 10 years already? I folded its sleeves because obviously, it's bitin. Haha!

After several years of hiding behind the walls of world wide web, I can now say that, this blog reaches my Facebook. Finally! Yes, I have already decided to share my blog to my other social media accounts. It might sound a little crazy but that's all true.
Most of the people I met through blogging told me that I surprised them in a lot of things. Here are the reasons:
#1. I don't share my blog on my Facebook. Because of that, I got a lot of whys. Well, the main reason why I do not publicize my blog on Facebook is that, there are lots of people who can see it. But that's the purpose of blogging, right? I have a lot of friends on Facebook, each has a different personality. Maybe I'm too shy to share my outfit posts. Or maybe, I was afraid to be judged. Contrary to what a blogger needs— a large audience—I made it a point not to publicize my blog because I think, it does not have to be that way and that, it would be successful without sharing it on Facebook. Then, it happened.
#2. Only few know about my blog. I'm talking about the people I meet in school, work, and everything that is related to my personal life. And when someone finds out about it, I just wanted to run away from them. 'Cause really, I don't know what to do. Lol. But when someone from school came to me and said that she knows my blog, I was like, girl are you serious? How did you freakin' find out?! Hahaha! But to tell you honestly, it feels good to hear that.
#3. I have no Instagram. Some, okay, most of the people who know that I am a blogger were surprised to hear that I have no Instagram. I remember one time when someone I met from a shoot I have collaborated with almost shouted in the room are you serious?! Oh yes I am. Very. No doubt. So why don't I have an Instagram? Every time I get this question, I always give the same answer: I don't want to get addicted to it. I noticed that most people with IG were caged to their phones 24/7, before eating, they do every styling they know and sometimes, it gets to the point where they do crazy things just to get that perfect shot to be Instagram-worthy. I don't have anything against with people who loves Instagram. I just don't want that to happen to me. But there came a time when I asked myself, what if I have an Instagram? Sure, I'll have another set of followers. I'll gain more clients. And I'll get the exposure all bloggers want. Then I realized the importance of IG to every blogger, so I have decided to make one. Some brands prefer to have a lot of media platforms, especially Instagram.
Blogging helped me in so many ways. It made me realize who I really am and what I can do. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and meet great people. This blog has opened a lot of doors for me. So I am very thankful for keeping this blog. There's no reason for me to hide it. Once a secret remains not a secret anymore.

Whether it's prom season or not, black ball dresses will never go out style. Just like what Taylor Swift says in her song, it never goes out of style.
With its sleek and timeless appeal, most girls prefer wearing black during events. Contrary to my personal style— girly and everything pastel— I challenged myself to try doing away with what I have become used to and try something new. I tried wearing the basics. And I don't regret shifting to black and whites. It made me feel more confident and matured.
And because I haven't posted anything for almost a month, I want to make it up to you. With this comeback post (Whoa, big word, huh?), I bring you the top three dresses from Pickedlooks which I personally chose. Pickedlooks is not a stranger to me anymore. I have already made several posts featuring them before. And I thought, why not make another one? They deserved to be featured again. I tell you, this store has everything you need. They have the trendiest designed gowns perfect for every event.
Not yet convinced? Well, below are just a few of their beautiful gowns for every beautiful girl like you! Let the gowns speak for me.
Trumpet/Mermaid Sweetheart Chiffon Sweep Train Split Front Prom Dresses. This has got to be my favorite among my choices. I love everything in this gown. It's very simple but very elegant. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in the room gives you that oh-my-gosh stare when you wear this, 'cause really, who wouldn't?
Chiffon One Shoulder Sweep Train Sheath/Column Rhinestone Prom Dresses. One of the trendiest styles these days is the one-shoulder dress. No wonder why almost every girl chooses a one-shoulder dress because it is very appealing and looks sexy... and tall when worn. Plus the slit, oh my, you will get the attention you deserve on that night, girl!
What are you waiting for? Check out their site and fall in love with their designs! ♥

At this moment, I am still stuck in a phase where my mind grasps the thought that I cannot ask the driver for a student fare anymore and that, I will now enter the so-called real world.
Five days ago, I was with so many people dressed in identical caps and gowns at Manila Hotel to attend a very special event. And that day marks the end of my life at CEU.
It may be the end but I see it as a new beginning. Very cliche, I know. For us graduates, as we step at the center stage and take a bow, we welcome the new chapter of our lives. It may be thrilling because there are lots of competencies out there juggling that job interview you've been dreaming to have ever since and all you think is how you will ace that. Now, I am grateful to land a job in a well-known media company in the Philippines before I even graduate. Imagine, a college girl already has her job before her graduation. Lucky I am says other people because only few are given this chance but to me, it's not just luck that I have. I have my confidence and rosary with me. That's what keeps me achieving things I want.

If you know me well, you would be shocked if you see me wearing a bunch of accessories hanging on my neck or arms. You'd probably be surprised to know that I'm not fond of accessories because my style is very girly. The usual girly girl has always her dress, skirt, and necklace with her. But to me, I just have my necklace hidden in its box. Haha!
But then, like what I have said, my style is girly so I just can't take those accessories away from my closet. I need those, too. You know, for emergency purposes. Lol. And as summer starts, different styles of accessories come in the market. Just to help you out in finding high-quality shops online, I found a gorgeous selection of jewelry at ZALORA. Aside from its cute and elegant designs, the accessories are very much affordable! Trust me! I also thought of looking for shops that sell today's trendy necklaces such as chokers and quartz charms which I found at Copper and Accent Archive. Just in time for the summer trends, right?
These are the top three shops that I chose because they are very stylish yet affordable. :)

It's the time of the season again when teens get an adrenaline rush 'cause, you know, promposals are everywhere. There are times when I just want to go back in time and spill the secrets to myself on how to shine at Prom. Since it can't be, then I'll just have to tell you.
#1. HAVE A PEG
First things first, before anything else, plan ahead. If you already have something in mind, it's better. If not, try looking for a peg. The best option is your favorite celebrity or a character from a chic-flick film. Usually, the fictional characters going to prom are really all made up wearing the best dresses, having the chicest hairstyle and makeup, and of course, a cool limousine that turns heads. Choose a style that you like the most and bring that to your makeup and hairstylist. Trust me, it'll be easier for both of you. Unless you choose a peg that seems impossible to achieve on you like having big curls knowing that you have a short bob. Trust me, you don't want to look like you have headphones on you all night. Also, if you really want to bring your prom inspo to life, go the extra mile and book an Ottawa limousine service (or similar service in your own area) that would make your prom night with your friends really unforgettable.
#2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT DRESS
One of the most important (and exciting) things to keep in mind on standing out in a crowd is having the perfect dress. Every time I hear events, in my mind this calls for an ootd! Whenever I plan my outfit, I get excited. That adrenaline rush in my veins keeps me thrilled about the event. Girls, can you feel me? Anyway, aside from giving us excitement, choosing the dress is one of the most crucial parts of planning your Prom night. It is not easy to find the perfect dress especially if you're running out of time to go to every boutique you know. Good thing, there are several online shops that are rising today. Gone are the days you get stressed looking for a couturier. To make it easier, I'll suggest you pay a visit to Gudeer.com. They have a variety of stunning dresses to choose from.
#3. GET THE PERFECT HAIRSTYLE
Curls, up-dos, or just sleek straight hair is what will make your night. It is very important to achieve a hairstyle that really suits you. In my case, my hair draws my confidence. So when it comes to hairstyles, I am very particular about what style I'll have. As the saying goes, the hair is our crowning glory. The dress you choose might be the most beautiful but without the all-good-perfect-hairstyle, it's no use. The hair will make or break your look.
#4. BRING YOUR CONFIDENCE
What more should you not forget than bringing your confidence with you? No matter how you look that day, having your greatest confidence will make you shine. Smile to everyone you know and you don't know.
#5. WEAR YOUR BEST SMILE
Now that you have all things packed up, one thing you should not forget is to wear your best smile. That will keep heads turning on you all night.

Have you ever wished that you could go back in time and attend your Prom Night again?
I do! I want to go back to the time when we're too busy preparing for that one special night. During high school, we were unfortunate because we didn't have our Prom. All we had was a Graduation Ball. It's very similar to Prom but the participants are just Seniors. So most likely, we had Prom. Not just that "Prom" Prom. Haha get what I mean?
I miss the time when I was looking for a perfect dress to wear. That thought really excites me every time! Who wouldn't be? Girls would really love that, I guess. One reason why I wanted to go back to that night is that I want to make things right. I want to have, if not the most beautiful, the dress that I will look and feel beautiful on. Back then, I was not that lucky to find the "perfect dress". I was lacking in time so my mom and I just rushed to the mall to buy a dress three days before. Ha! Imagine my agony lol. So, when I found PromTimes.co.uk, I was really excited to look at every dress they have. It feels like I am buying one for myself for my Prom.

The dresses below are my top picks. I know that by "top" there should only be 3-5 pieces but can you blame me? All the dresses are sooooo beautiful! And there are more dresses in store. If only I could include them all here. I just want to have them all. The problem is, I don't have events to go to wear these dresses. Ugh! If only! I am not exaggerating here but I really can't express through words how beautiful the dresses are. Let them speak for you. PS. Click the picture to know more details.

I wish I knew why he left.
He said he's happy. I saw it in his eyes. His smile when I smile is something. The way he looked at me makes me feel that I'm the most precious thing in the world. Maybe that's enough to made me think that he is happy. Or was happy.
He said, he loves me. And will still love me even if I gain hundreds of pounds or until our hair turns gray. He'll make me smile whenever I am sad. He said he'll carry me if I already feel the pain on my joints as I walk. He said we'll grow old together. That's how much he loves me. I think. And I believed.
He told me he'd do anything for me. He'll take the train and wait for three hours just to see me for an hour. He'll go with me to the mall and carry all the shopping bags. He said he does not mind looking like my personal assistant because just being with me is his dream. And he did. Even if I did not ask him to do all those things, still, he is more than willing to volunteer. Maybe he got tired doing things for me. Maybe that is why he left me. But when I asked him to come back, he didn't.
Then it made me think, was it ever real? Or just a story that was meant to be played?
Was there something wrong with me? I bet. He wouldn't have left me if there's nothing wrong with me.
I tried to stop him but there's nothing else I can do. I am left with nothing. Where have they been? All that he left me was empty heart and lost reasons. Then I saw him walking towards me.
He said, he loves me, but he is not happy.
So... it's Valentine's Day. How was it? I hope you like the story written above. To be honest, I don't feel like writing so I'm pretty sure that what I wrote sounds lame. I still can't catch up in updating my blog :( Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

Dear you,
First of all, I would like to apologize for writing a letter to you and it's really a shame to do so but I'll do it anyway.
Don't get me wrong. I know you but you don't know me. It's awkward, I know. But there's a little hope in me that you know me, too. Even just my name or just recognized my face. This is not the first time we've seen each other. I can still remember the last time I saw you in a cafe. You were with a girl. Your girlfriend I supposed. I can see how her eyes shine as she stares at you. You were teasing her and you both laughed hard that made other people looked at you, even me.
The way I see you with your girl is what I wanted to have in my future. I wanted to have what she had with you. I want to spend an evening in a restaurant with my boy, talking about anything under the sun or just staring at each other without saying a word will do. Where I can tell that this is love. True love. A love that will last.
And here I am, standing before my best friend, and there you are, standing beside your best bud. We meet again. You shine bright like a diamond. In the middle of the crowd, you're the one who stands out. Your charm made me smile inside, wishing it's the two of us that will tie the knot. Then I remembered the day I first saw you. You're with a girl and that breaks my heart now.
Love,
The Bridesmaid
What can you say on the letter I wrote? I am not being emotional here. I just wrote what came out in my mind. Haha!
What is a wedding without a bride (obviously) and what is a bride without a bridesmaid? The wedding will not be complete if there is no bridesmaid. Although I have watched movies and TV shows who had their weddings without a bridesmaid and a best man, the wedding went on. Still, it wouldn't be complete if the sister of the bride or the BFF herself or anyone who is destined (okay the term is a bit exaggerated haha) to be the bridesmaid is not on the list.
Too many wedding posts isn't it? So, this time, bridesmaid dresses UK will have their own exposure here on my blog. I will be sharing some of my picks on Dressestylist's site.
As you can see, I chose dresses in light/pastel colors. I believe pastel colors show the sweetness of a girl. When someone wears something in pastel most of the time, you could tell that that person has a light and sweet personality... and style.
I have always been in love with anything that is pastel. It feels like I'm up on a cloud whenever I see those colors. Aaah. The feels haha!
I'd love to hear your thoughts or comments on what I wrote up there. I hope you like it, even just for a little :D

Wedding. Wedding. Wedding. And more weddings. Lately, I have been posting a lot of wedding gowns on my blog. Can you blame me? The dresses I found from Dressestylist are too beautiful not to share, right? Like what couples wished on their weddings, I hope you will stick with me 'til the end.
Now let us talk about the Liverpool Wedding Dresses. If you are from Liverpool, looking for wedding dresses will be much easier for you because Dressestylist has everything you need. And what you want. With such affordable prices come with beautiful designs that look like created by the big names in the fashion industry. If you were to ask me, I would not really post like this if I don't find the site worthy of my trust. So what I am sharing with you really fascinates me because the designs are really beautiful. And I believe that having a beautiful gown does not always mean you have to spend too much. Most of the time, the beautiful things come at a priceless and less price. Did I make my point here?
If you can't seem to find interest in what I am saying here, then let these gowns do the talking.
For the bride who opts for simplicity and elegance on her wedding day, the gown above is perfect for you. I really love how plain and simple the dress is. Although it does not have too much design on it, the gown still looks beautiful and classy. I really go for classy styles. And also, its simplicity will draw more attention to you. Wouldn't you like that? The attention is on you and not on the gown? Not that I'm saying the gown is not good to look at but hey, let's face it when someone wears a very beautiful and over-designed dress, the tendency is that, people will likely look and praise your dress more than you. You don't want that to happen, right?
And for the bride who wants a more feminine style, this gown calls for you. With its beautifully embellished details on top and gorgeous folds on the bottom, it will unleash your girly side. I know some of you would really prefer this dress because it is very feminine and the details are so cute, right? Right? When I saw this gown, the first thing that came to my mind was a dreamy wedding. I feel like when someone wears this, it'll be on a garden or the setting will be so dreamy and full of romantic lights. I can already see it. So beautiful!
So what are you waiting for? Check out their store now! :)
