Win a Designer Bag!

June 19th, 2013 | 5 Comments

Hello from CdO! Again! Well, actually I’m in Singapore, but these photos were taken a few weeks ago when I visited the city for WAGW work. To all the Kagay-anons, can you guess where in CdO this is? Nautical looks are always a classic and classic looks are always welcome in my book. When in doubt, navy and white are always a good match and will make you look sophisticated without even trying. Paired with this seasons sandal staple, this outfit makes for a chic travel ready look (yet again!)

Sometimes the lesser you have on, the better your look becomes. I find that most of the time, piling on accessories makes your look more casual and less classy. So, for this particular outfit, I merely opted for this statement ring, my WAGW gold slim belt, favorite watch and a pair of color block earrings. Not only did it perfectly complement my outfit, but it also saved me from the hassle of bleeping xray’s in the airport! Yup, you read that right, this is an airport outfit (yet again!) What can you do when your life revolves around traveling! But hey, I ain’t complaining! Hopefully in the next years to come, all my travelling will include first class tickets to the seven wonders of the world! #libremangarap

What do you think about my look?

Kryz Uy X Instax

I am beyond happy and honored to announce that I am the new face of Fujifilm Instax Cameras! I’ve loved these polaroids even before they were officially brought in to the Philippines, and so having the opportunity to be trusted with the brand is just overwhelmingly amazing. Thank you so much to my Fujifilm family for this! Can’t wait to show you guys what we have planned for the year!

Just last week, we launched the Mini 8 series (SRP: Php4180) which boasts of 5 delicious colors. The pink one was the fastest to sell out- everyone wanted the cotton candy hue! I on the other hand chose yellow for myself. Yellow is definitely one of my favorite colors! Wish I had all these colors to match with my looks though! (kelangan magmatch??? lol)

I flew to Manila for the launch and spotted this billboard along Edsa Santolan. Whoohoo! This is my 4th billboard to date, and my 2nd one along Edsa in Manila! Can’t be happier and more thankful for such awesome opportunities like this. Just a few years ago, I would have rolled my eyes if anyone told me I’d get to be on a billboard- and now look! So blessed and forever thankful!

I played with my Fujifilm X-E1 during the event (it’s my go to camera now, and my DSLR replacement for the last few weeks. Have you noticed the change in my outfit posts???) Above is a photo I took of Christian Jamolod, the Managing Director of Fujifilm Philippines. I tried to play with the multiple exposure feature of the camera, but had no ~~creativity~~ better subject lol. But its a cool feature to play around with nonetheless!

Meet Guia Abad, the lovely lady who took care of me during my stay in Manila. Super appreciate all your help, Guia!

During the event, we got to know more about the company, it’s plans for this year, and best of all… we got to decorate our instax selfies! A whole lot of people got to head home with their own instax cameras, and during the second event of the night, some guys were even lucky enough to take home X-Pro 1′s, Dell laptops, projectors and Motor wait for it… cylces- MOTORCYCLES! Awesome right??

Here’s my second attempt at the multiple exposure function. This time, I was assisted by Omeng, one of Fujifilm‘s X Ambassadors. The picture above turned out so much better than my first solo attempt, right? lol

Because it was a whole day affair for me, I chose to wear a comfy A line dress that was appropriate for both afternoon and evening affairs. This cute yet sexy dress from Love clothing London was perfect. Don’t you think?

More on Instax and hopefully a giveaway for all you lovely readers soon!x

In Love with Fashion dress, Aldo heels (similar here), SM Accessories necklaces

Cross Over

There’s something about an all neutral outfit that makes you look trés trés classy, even in the simplest of silhouettes. Well, my outfit for today isn’t really all that simple. It’s actually one of my Joe Dirt mullet moments, y’know… business up front and party at the back. There’s a surprise peek-a-boo appearance behind, and knowing my absolute favor for all back details, it doesn’t even come as a surprise anymore!

The hardest part about wearing my favorite backless pieces is finding the right bra to wear with it while avoiding sag-city! Cup A girls usually have the option to go free willy, but higher cups need more support! I suggest wearing stick on bras, and I especially love the ones at Maidenform where the sticker is just at your sides, and not on the actual bust. But some people can’t handle stick-ons, especially when you need to wear them the entire day! My next best bet is to find a pretty lace bandeau that you can layer under your top for a classy and dainty alternative. I stock mine from WAGW, and since I know a lot of girls need this intimate piece, we have them in white, black and gray + other plain designs too!

With an all beige look like this, it’s important to add a hint of color for character. It doesn’t have to be loud, but it needs to complement your look ironically (if that makes any sense at all). I’m bringing a snakeskin clutch to add a bit of edge to this otherwise girly ensemble.
