I know you have already seen several posts from me about evening dresses but this one might help you, especially to my readers from New Zealand!
Remember my previous post? www.pickedlooks.com offers a wide variety of dresses for different occasions. May it be bridesmaid dresses, evening dresses, long and short dresses, they have it all. The store has very fashionable and modern designs that any girl would love to wear for a very special event.
New Zealand readers (if I have any lol), this is a piece of good news for you! This online shop is based in your country. What's the hitch? It will be accessible for you. And easier I may say! To my local (Philippine) and other international readers, don't worry. This will sound good to you as well because they also ship internationally! Yes, you read it right! Nice, isn't it?
How come this has been good news to you? Well, aside from looking for the beautiful and elegant dresses in their store, purchasing from them will give you less hassle. If you are still not convinced, here are the perks when you choose Pickled Looks:
- Fast Delivery. Let's admit it, when we hear or read in an online shop's "About Us" Page telling the customers that they ship internationally, we all have doubts in receiving the parcels earlier as expected. Of course, every customer wants a fast delivery so they would really prefer online shops that have it. Let's thank Pickled Looks for this.
- 30 Days Return Policy. Many online shops do not have this kind of feature so I am glad to know that www.pickedlooks.com has this policy. Customers will really benefit from this due to the fact that buying from online shops is like a guessing game because we don't get to fit and check for damages of what we buy.
- 100% Safety Order. What does a customer ask to herself/himself when considering buying from online shops? Of course, its safety; if the shop is legit. With Pickled Looks, you will feel secured, confident, and at ease.
- More Choices for the Better Life. I think this is the shop's tag line and personally, I like it.
- High Quality with All Standards. Check! Check! Check! Every customer would really love to have their beautifully-designed parcel with the best quality. And this online shop will give it to you.
The search for Evening Dresses NZ is done. Just visit www.pickedlooks.com and see it for yourself! :)

Sometimes, life is about risking everything for a dream no one can see but you.
At seven, my relatives asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said proudly with excitement, A Doctor! At ten, I always ask for colored pencils and a sketch pad, trying to design clothes and houses. At twelve, my teacher asked us to draw in a blank sheet of paper what we want to be in the future, and I can still remember myself, drawing a professional-looking woman holding a microphone and a notepad in front of a camera. At sixteen, my friends asked me what course I'll be taking in college and I said uncertainly, uhm, I like to cook, but really don't know how.
I really had a baffled mind growing up. Whenever someone asks me what I want to do in the future, I am always like ".....". But now, the question has changed to what do you want to do after college? There is a huge difference between the two. It's easier to hear someone asks what do you want to be in the future? than what do you want to do after college?

Many
girls think that to stand out in an event, they need to wear the so-called perfect evening dress. Little did they know, it is
not just about the dress. They should learn how to flaunt it. What is a
beautiful dress without the proper way to wear it, right? In this post, I will
share some tips on how to flaunt evening dresses. And I am hoping
that this will help you in any possible little way.
Tip
number 1: GET THE RIGHT LENGTH
Of
course you have to know what length fits you well. You should not wear dresses
that are not according to your height. If you're petite, I suggest you try to
avoid long dresses. I'm sure you don't want the dress to overcome your body,
right? But if you really want to get that long dress, try to wear high heeled
shoes to add length. If you're tall, there's nothing wrong. You could wear any
length you want, may it be a short or long dress. BUT if you choose a short
dress, make sure that it is not TOO short for you, okay? Perks of being a tall girl.
Tip
number 2: CHOOSE THE RIGHT COLOR
Yes.
The color affects your look. If you are morena or dark-skinned, avoid wearing
dark colors. Choose light colors because they will accentuate you. If you have
fair skin, any color will do. In my personal opinion, I do not like wearing or
even seeing bright-colored dresses at an event. Take this cue from me.
Tip
number 3: KNOW WHERE TO BUY THE PERFECT DRESS
We
all know that there are many shops, online and stalls, which sell the perfect dress. Let's face it, not all those shops
have the best qualities of clothing. Yes, others have beautiful designs but when
it comes to quality, it rushed down to 10%. Of course, we want to have that
perfect dress. Meaning, with a beautiful design that comes with the best
quality. I suggest you should pay a visit to Picked Looks to see what I mean.
Tip number 4: WEAR IT WITH CONFIDENCE
What's a beautiful dress without confidence? You have to be
confident as you walk for you to stand out in the middle of the crowd. This is
the best piece you should not forget to bring during the event. With
confidence, you'll look stunning! And you might even bump into that cute guy :)

It's "Ber" month already! And this is the season of the year again where Weddings and Special Events are most held. They say that -ber months are the most special months among others. I don't know how and why did they conclude that but really, is it? (For me it is because December is my birth month. Talk about being biased. Yesss counting the days. Or weeks. Or months. Hahaha)
Well, based on my experience, I noticed that most of the brides-to-be would like to celebrate their wedding day in December aside from June. December is such a special month. Not because it's my birth month, though. Hahaha
Okay, let's be serious here. When it comes to choosing a dress for an event, I am very meticulous. I want every detail of my dress is set close to perfection. Who doesn't want to have a perfect dress, right? Every girl dreams to wear the perfect dress. And when you wear the perfect dress, you feel like you are the most beautiful person in the room, world perhaps. It's like, you're a Princess. However, we all know that a perfect dress comes with a dazzling prize, right? Right? Right!
So when I saw avivadress.co.uk, my eyes dropped because of their collection of beautiful bridesmaid dresses, evening dresses, prom dresses, and wedding dresses! Not just beautiful, but very affordable as well! You like that, huh? Me likey! :)

(This is my most favorite dress of all! Can't you see how chic and elegant it is? The feels! For me, this is one of the most beautiful evening dresses ever made. It's perfect for a very special occasion. The style and the color showed its elegance. If only I've seen this black dress earlier this year, I would have gotten it for myself to wear in one of our major events in school such as the CEU Mass Communication Awards for Media and the Arts (CMAMA). )
avivadress.co.uk is said to be the world's leading online wedding apparel destination. Their goal is to provide a one-stop-shop for the ladies.
Additional information: Avivadress is a family-owned and operated business. They even have their own wedding apparel factory.
If you are the daring type of girl who wants to flaunt her skin, then go for this dress. It's very sexy!
I think this one is perfect for Prom! If you wear this, you will look like a goddess! Definitely a scene-stealer. You will give other girls who are wishing to be the Prom Queen a run for their money. Trust me, this is one of the most beautiful and eye-catching prom dresses you'll ever see!
What more can you ask for? Check out www.avivadress.co.uk now or else, you will go home crying. Haha! And by the way, I heard they are having a SALE! ♥

Have you ever experienced that night when you're struggling with overflowing work that makes you procrastinate? You can't sleep because it's not done yet. All you can do is to touch it one by one and all you need to do is to finish it before the day ends. But, all you do is to stare at it like it's going to move on its own. Seriously? And when you wake up in the morning, that pile of paper says hi to you. Isn't it just a little too overwhelming?

Why not?
Yeah, why not? I love asking these two word-question whenever I am trapped in a situation that asks "Whys?" and "Really? Are you sure?". Those two short words creates a huge impact in one's life. It shows the optimism side of a person. Well, as an advocate of optimism (okay, how self-proclaimed I am! Lol), I always make it a point to keep a rainbow in times of hurricanes and storms.
As you can see, I'm wearing an ID here. That's because I went to a leadership seminar to represent our organization. I forgot to take it off (obviously haha!). I'm just so glad that I somehow, pulled the tee for a corporate attire. What do you think? :)
Just a short post to share with you 'cause I'm struggling on looking for inspirations to create a better script for my story. Hopefully, I do it well *crossing fingers*. In any ways, I know i'll manage it. Think positive haha! Akalain mo 'yun na-segway ko pa 'yung optimism hahaha!
Have a great week ahead ♥

I was sitting in a dimmed-light auditorium yesterday. There were a lot of people inside, all of them were buzzing around. I feel pressured. I can feel the intense heat between me and them though I don't know them personally. There's a thing that ignites the anxiety in me and I was not sure what it is.
Maybe it's the thought of having the same interests with them. Maybe I feel tensed because I know there's a lot of people inside that same auditorium that are better than I. Maybe because I'm just envious because most of them know what they want to do in the future already. Well, not that I don't know what I want to do. I was not just sure of what I will do in the future that will make me happy. Then, someone said keep doing everything until you find that certain thing that makes you happy.
It seems to help me. No, it really helps me. From the beginning, I was trying to do everything. I was trying to excel in every thing I do.
But it leads me to a fall down. I failed. Not just once but many times. I thought of giving up because I can't handle the pain and failures anymore. It's like, things were crashing my pride. My future. My dreams. My life. I realized, I can't do everything. I almost gave up.
But I didn't. I realized, there's a lot of ways to go. That if I give up, I wouldn't reach where I am now. I have come this far to give it all up. I learned to accept failures. Well, I have to because in that way, I can fully accept myself, too. I suffered but I grew stronger.
I must say, the person who said to keep doing everything is right. We should not stop just because we failed. We should not stop just because we think it's not meant for us. We should strive hard to get what we really want to do because eventually, we will grasp it in our hands if we don't stop.
Like what the 5SOS boys said in their song... don't stop, doing what you're doing.

I've always thought that trying so hard will make everything fine; that it'll make everything goes according to plan. In fact, my motto before was try and try until you succeed. Okay, until now.
Well, there's really nothing wrong with trying so much to achieve what you want. It's good because it makes you eager for your goals. But sometimes, you know, you don't have to try so hard. Sometimes, trying so hard leads us to expectations and failures. I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't try hard. My point is, know when to try hard. Know what your goals are first; know your aim; know the main reason of your moves before giving in to something so much. Why are you trying so hard? Ask that to yourself.
Is it because you want to pursue that dream? Well, go for it!
or
Is it because you want to belong? Hmm. Let me thing about that. And you should, too!
I don't see any problem of wanting to belong or to please others. A problem will only blow if you let others heat up your emotions, hence, ruining your self-worth. Once you let them affect you, it won't stop. It will eat you until you're messed up. Don't focus and bother so much time on what others are telling you. Who cares if you don't wear makeup everyday? You still look pretty anyway! Who cares if you don't have the best and most expensive clothes to wear? You still look stunning on that tee and ripped jeans!
This is the perfect idea to describe my outfit here 'cause I didn't bother to plan an outfit like I used to and I looked haggard after so many days without enough sleep. Who cares? As long as I look okay to my family and friends then it's fine. And as long as I feel okay the way I see with my own eyes then just go with it. The secret is, if no one sees your beauty, learn to appreciate yourself because that is where it all starts. I just want to share a song of Colbie Caillat that inspired me to write this. So here it goes:
You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to, give it all away
You just have to get up
You don't have to change a single thing
Wait a second,
Why, should you care, what they think of you
When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you?
Do you like you?
Do you like you?
Take your make-up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don't you like you?
Cause I like you
Sorry for my silly pose here. I'm not gonna do this again swear :( Did I make sense? Anyways, I hope you get something from my post.
Let me know if you did! ♥
