Who knew scarves could be used as apparel? A large scarf can be easily transformed into so many ways, you can wear it as a- top, wrap around skirt, head wrap, necklace, belt and so much more. The opportunity to create your signature garment using a scarf is endless. On a more positive note, just think of how light you will be able to travel by replacing your existing blouses and skirts with scarves. All you need to do is make a transition of the scarf from day-to-night look and you really don't need a wardrobe change. It is indeed the most versatile item every woman should own.

In relation to that, I've been chosen and challenged by Red Dot to wear this scarf in 7 different styles in 7 separate days. For my first challenge, I styled this Red Dot scarf as a kimono. To do this, all you need do is fold the scarf into half, tie both ends, then insert your arms on the opening (same way when you wear a shirt). Hope you love the styling! watch out for my next style with this Red Dot scarf!

It's officially sundress season! With all this warm weather going on, it's time to break out the sunny summer clothes! Nothing could be more cool, fresh and chic than wearing a dress on a humid day. Sundresses are the best way to beat the heat in this weather. The sundress instantly gives a feminine look that are lighter and more comfortable than another sort of dress. Add on accessories to spark up the ensemble.

A weekend of everything that flies

Yesterday, I went to the 17th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta held at Clark Freeport, Pampanga. It was my first time to attend the festival, and so I took the opportunity to get the Coachella/Glastonbury vibe on, hence the festival-dressing outfit. The whole venue really reminds me so much of Coachella/Glastonbury, because of the several tents set-up, stalls of food, music, picnic on the grass grounds and the sea of people!

All in all, I enjoyed the sight of the sunrise of hot air balloons of differing designs and sizes, flying kites, different training aircraft, helicopters, commercial and light planes and air rescues, sky diving and paragliding stunts. Here are the rest of the photos I took from the festival -

I can't believe that I've been wearing floral prints three days in a row now. Have you noticed it is as well? floral skirt last wednesday, then floral shirt last thursday, and yesterday this floral dress. I seem to kind of gravitate towards these prints, maybe because it's such a perfect wear for a lovely weather.

Another floral for today, just can't get enough of 'em. These beautiful summery floral prints really do bring sunshine into the wardrobe. They make you look fresh no matter how hot and humid the weather is and instantly add a cheerful vibe to the look.

A sweet sensation

Nothing could be more sweeter than the combination of pink and floral in an outfit. Both instantly adds a romantic and chic vibe to the look.

At this time of the year, floral prints start to bloom on the fashion scene. It seems that whenever the weather is warmer it begins to emerge and the need to lighten up our style comes along with it. Floral prints are indeed the best wear to bring sunshine into the wardrobe. One of the hottest things we’re seeing right now on runways, magazine covers and street style is the print-on-print trend- fusion of same print but on different scale or color. This trend definitely delivers a clashing and eye-catching statement. The key to achieve this floral-on-floral look is by simply choosing easy-to-mix separates. Your florals can look best if you match them properly, it's better to combine the print on different scale and color so that they will both complement each other. Both pieces are interesting on their own, but together, they make a strong statement. So don't just wear one print, wear two... or more! fearlessly embrace the trend!
