Of Short Vacation and Personal Style

A weekend spent with family in one of the most relaxing places in the world - the beach resort - is indeed a gratifying experience. We seldom give ourselves plain R&R.  Last weekend's brief, yet blissful and fun, getaway was planned several weeks ago and the days had finally come.

This is our second time to enjoy an overnight stay at Plantation Bay Resort and Spa in Marigondon Mactan Island.
By the way, last September 26, 2014, Plantation Bay Resort and Spa's Facebook page has featured the picture above as their Guest Photo of the Week, see HERE.  Thank you Plantation Bay for the feature!


I prefer this resort than anywhere else from the long list of beach resorts here in Cebu, since I will always feel safe swimming at their man-made lagoon with salt water on it plus exploring the landscaping of the resort is extremely worth enjoying.
Plantation Bay Resort and Spa is set in 11 hectares of secluded grounds yet only one hour (when traffic is bad) from Cebu City, Plantation Bay offers one of the largest privately-owned waterways in the world, with the clean elegance of colonial-plantation architecture.





Even on a crisp "summery" vacation in September, remember always to inject personal style.  Be fashionable even when on a beach resort.


I packed my light and breezy outfits and those favorite footwear which are also perfect for this beach outing.


My personal style always involves COLOR COORDINATION.


See my peach girly motif above - from the top, to the skater skirt and sunnies.  I declared just lately that I am into peach / coral / salmon shades.


The matchy separates outfit reminded me of my salad days (when my sister and I looked like twins as our mom would buy us matchy top and bottoms in floral prints).  What I like in this outfit is it is in black and white.  This bejeweled thongs is my current favorite as it is unexpectedly comfortable and definitely chic.  This is my first time to finally stepped on it again since I was in my ''teen'' years.  As I am into color coherence,  the sunnies' color must match the b/w look.


This flouncy mullet collared dress in hot magenta tropical print screams summer!  I am still into the mullet trend despite having died out in the runways.  

This look is somewhat minimalist, since I am only wearing one apparel, plus the thin long necklace (not chunky ones), square lens sunglasses and trying on the platforms trend, which sells like hotcakes in Hong Kong.


If you happen to plan a weekend getaway here in Cebu, I highly recommend Plantation Bay Resort and Spa, it's indeed a resort in a class of its own!

Special thanks to C2 for making this short vacation more possible.

 Live in style, everyday!

Eight Reasons Why Thailand Is Indeed Amazing

Thailand has been dubbed as the Land of Smiles and its catchy tag line is "Amazing Thailand" .  I have gone to Bangkok , the capital of Thailand, three times and my latest trip last January of this year was unbelievably filled with all the fun, adventure and terrific blissful moments that are worth for keeps in my yottabye memory. Without hesitation and with confidence, I certainly agree that Thailand is indeed an amazing place to spend time for vacation and even a pleasant place to settle down.  Though I've only been in Bangkok (and in Nonthaburi), but Bangkok offers all the reasons why I should keep visiting to their capital and to their country as well. With my phenomenal experiences, I am revealing my top 8 reasons why Thailand is Indeed Amazing. (1) The PLACE The land area of Bangkok is really vast, and the place that I would love to go back again and again is the area of SIAM.  I find it as the heart of Bangkok.  This is w...

Sigh Styles for SunStar's Concept: Grunge Throwback

I was tasked again to do a photo shoot for Sunstar newspaper fashion spread on GRUNGE Fashion.  It was officially published on October 18, 2013. The next 5 pictures made it on print. 'The most important event in 1990s fashion was the rise of Grunge fashion in 1992. Grunge fashion was influenced by grunge music, which achieved mainstream popularity in 1992, due to the mainstream success of Nirvana and their hit single Smells Like Teen Spirit. The grunge style resulted in a decline in bright colours, and was dominated by plaid flannel shirts, stonewashed blue jeans, and dark colours like maroon, forest green, indigo, and brown. White and black were also popular colours in grunge style. It was considered the most depressing, angst filled style.  via wikipedia Grunge fashion popularized Doc Martens style shoes and boots, and high-top sneakers in red, indigo, forest green, and black (such as Chuck Taylor All-Stars). It emphasized long hair, which most teen a...

Sigh Styles Concept for Sunstar: Plus Size is In

Gone are the days when the "curvy" ladies are hiding in their shells.  Everyone is equally treated now.  The big and small are now sharing the same spotlight. I have been contributing to SUNSTAR newspaper since 2013 and have styled and photographed models that have skinny figures.  Last April of this year, I realized, why not feature a 'curvy' model and explore the fashion of plus sizes. I was overwhelmed to get another nod by Ms. Kara Mae Noveda to do a photo shoot for PLUS SIZE Fashion which was featured in SUNSTAR newspaper - Shopping Bag section on May 23, 2014. The next 5 photos below made it on print. My styling for this Plus Size concept encompasses the idea of the body as a canvass to express one's self through fashion and strut daily that exuding confidence, telling the world, who cares if I'm not skinny. Being chubby or plump or obese is not a hindrance to look good and feel good about oneself.  And in fashion, being overweight is ...
