A start of something new and fresh! J Trend will be having a new collection tomorrow, November 3, 2012. Who's excited? <3

What to expect? (Here are some snapshots of ze new collection tomorrow) 

* Floral Corset - a must have for every stylistas out there. You can use this for casual day out, night out party and even corporate wear. It goes well with skirts, jeans, maxis and even denim shorts! You can never go wrong with a corset. NEVER! 

* Longsleeves - Cold, cozy days are fast approaching and every girl needs warm clothes but still can look very fashionable. Who would not want to look chic on a holiday?

* Lace Bandage Skirt - This would be my personal favorite in the collection. Whatever top I wear with this, it matches so well. This skirt can give every top an "oooomph" and a classic twist.

* Polkadot Skirts - It can give a vintage-y look into your outfit. Wearing this could also make you feel lucky. Why not try one? :)

Oooops, that's all for tonight but don't you worry because you would not any longer! FAUX COLLECTION will be released tomorrow, November 3, 2012. It's a Saturday! Please, please don't dare miss this. And spread the love <3

Ze Lazy Saturday

One lazy Saturday lunch time at the office, and significantly my last Saturday there. I'll miss the green, cozy and refreshing surroundings of the Techno.  

How do you find my cute Leopardo eyeglasses?

Oh, please excuse my dry and frizzy hair. I know how disgusting my hair looks like plus I fret cutting my hair this short. It made my cheeks look more bubbly than ever. 

Ze top actually belongs to my mother dear, and I know this will look better on me :P I paired it with a lightly colored jeans to lighten up the whole look. My leopard flats and eyeglasses just added an "oommp" to this simple look. Finally, a red belt won't hurt, right? 

Top: Mom's | Jeans: JAG | Leopard Flats: Solemate

2 months working at IBM made me this big. ;) Diet? Nah, I'd rather die than refrain my self from eating. So, cheers to chubbiness! <3

True friends stay forever. I'm thankful I found them :) A Sunday well spent with my good old friends! Friends I can truly consider as my sisters! They've been my best friends since I was 11. And now that we're adults and professionals (HAHA wow), we still find time to keep our friendship alive. That's how we truly love each other <3

Anyhoo, this is what I wore to Yana's graduation dinner at Eastwood. More like of Halloween, eh?

Skirts

Skirts are girl's must haves. It brings out a feminine vibes that will surely blow everyone's heart away. From maxis to minis, every style can turn a woman phenomenal and a scene stealer!

Check out my online shop's (J Trend) very own, Bella Skirts. I've published these skirts few months ago and I've been bombarded with shopper's rants to have it restocked. So, here we go! Don't miss this chance to have these sheer skirts for only P350.

TOP PICKS (Online Shops)

Online shopping has been a trend these past few years and I must say I was pretty much hooked with it. Why shop online? It's very convenient, fast and time savvy! No need to go outside your house - perfect for a lazy daisy like me!

I'll share my favorite online shops (so far) here in PH! <3 - Err, just the Top 5 because one blog post would not be enough if I'll enumerate all.

(Click on the Shop name to get on their page)

1. BUBBLES

We all know Bubbles for their very affordable and trendy items. They first started selling accessories which became a hit just a year ago. Popular bloggers eventually shop religiously at Bubbles. Day by day, they offer something different. They don't follow trends, they are the TREND. They make a statement, a scene and an atmosphere. Every print, they make; every material, they create. That's how Bubble works :)

2. ANAGON COLLECTION

Wanna get wired? Anagon has been the epitome of creativity and uniqueness. Who would have thought wired accessories will be a hit? Talk about style and art, that would be Anagon. And of course success would not be possible without the creative mind behind Anagon, Ms. Ana Gonzales (I would really want to meet her!). "Great minds create passion"

3. IT'S ALL ABOUT HUE

Striking, fun, colorful and playful - best words to describe this online shop. With limited items which are unique and customized, you'll never get wrong with IAAH. They cater items that would totally amazed the inner souls of fashionistas. From clothes, accessories and even bags - they surely have it all! Neons, Aztecs, Leopard Prints, Spikes, - and everything pretty under the sun. Who would not love IAAH? :3

4. ANTI-FASHION MANILA

Pretty stuffs, pretty models and pretty styling - an edge this online shop have. They all have pretty things running inside their system. Clothes that would perfectly fit a stylista. They can never run out of pretty and classy items. I would never doubt if Anti fashion has a pretty owner <3

5. SIMONE'S CLOSET

Simplicity at its finest. What makes you more beautiful is simplicity. It makes you be more, and feel more. And that's what Simone's Closet is all about - simplicity with a twist. What I love most about this shop is the passion burning from within - a characteristic shown by the owner (Denise). An online shop that would go higher and higher but still quality never fades. 

And that's it - my top 5 picks for the most admirable online shop alive here in the Philippines <3

Can you share yours? <3

Junkie

Since I miss wearing skirts and outfits like these, I must post this one errm just for displacement purpose. My pants and maxis are paving their ways in my wardrobe these days (credits to my boyf for that). Another reason for posting these old pictures is that my SLR is still not fixed and so I don't have a chance to update my outfit shots here. That's making me really insane right now :(

Top: Baro Co | Skirt: Forever21 | Clogs: Figlia

I've been busy with work these past three weeks and now I'm making sure I keep my blog updated. Dont forget to join my blog giveaway: HERE!

I will post more giveaways this week just stay tuned ladies ;)

XOXO,

J <3

Luxe Mode

All that Glitters

Photos taken during my Graduation (April 26, 2012) Oh! It was my birthday, too :)

Photographer: Tricia Santiago

HMUA: Leticia Arevalo

Post-Grad/Post-birthday celebration at Technohub

Overrated big round lights at Technohub

Frou Frou Dress - The Ram, Trinoma | Green Shoes - Janilyn

Matching outfits

It's better to be late than never, right?  The reason why I posted this just now is because I actually lost the folder where I put my Graduation pictures. Lame right? I was digging through my folders and tada! Finally found them.

Well, my title actually says it all. I love how glittery my dress turned out in the photos. My mom and I actually bought my dress and shoes a day before my very historic day. I just became unemployed and 21 years old in an instant. Whew!

Ze glittery dress is from Frou Frou of The Ramp, and I actually fell in love with it the first time I saw the dress. It was quite short, which my mom thought would not be appropriate for the rites, still I insisted. I just love it. After a short argument with my mom, she finally paid for it! Luhh. What's next? The shoes and the bag! I had a hard time choosing the shoes that would fit my glittery dress. I want something not too boring, and not too loud. So, I opted for a green one. And for the bag, I just let my mom choose for me!

So, what do you think of my Graduation/Birthday look? :) 

XOXO,
J <3
