I have always been a fan of leather wears ever since I was a kid. And you might wonder why? Well... Here are some reasons why it is part of my fashion preference:

first of all leather wears and accessories has always been a favorite thing of my father due to its durability. My initial knowledge about leather fashion came from his adoration of how leather can save your life or specifically skin from getting damaged in a possible accident from a bike crash since he was a big biker. Secondly, at a young age, I already noticed that wearing a leather whether if it is in clothing, bags or accessories can break a traditional nice look or get up, and make it more unique and edgy as it adds a punkish style or an androgynous touch (I LIKE TO SHOW MY STYLE IN AN UNCONVENTIONAL FASHION). Lastly, I do believe that through out the time, leather has always been a symbol of high fashion! as I know a lot of great brands that always use leathers in their products such as Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Gucci. 

FUN FACTS ABOUT WHY LEATHER IS USED SO FREQUENTLY IN FASHION

Did you know that leather materials has always been in use since the old times that it was utilized mainly for the purpose of clothing and protection. Ancient people like the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and many others have always made it a part of their appearance which makes it really prominent. No wonder why leathers are still considered a high fashion and a luxury. Did you also know that there are different types of leathers for different purposes. Leathers are not only used in clothing and accessories but also on different things such as balls, seats, furniture and others. It can basically be considered as a need of people!

I actually found an interesting article about this that really enlightened me about why leather is commonly used, that I think is very good to be shared with you guys. It's really cool to learn that this type of fashion can not only be dated as old as time, but also has evolved to be used for different purposes.

myI love pink! 

When I was a kid I usually adore earthly colors like black, brown, white and other colors that are sooo...... "formal", I don't know why? maybe its because I was born 10 years later from my sisters and my sisters with their age was obviously matured than me. I never adored baby colors, that was until I was 23. When I get to meet my new friends in the medical field, they were the ones who told me to change my kind of colors in clothings coz its making me look like 10 years older than my original age. wow as in WOW, I never realized that until that moment. ha! the first time I heard them saying that, I was kinda annoyed by it coz it was my taste, my kind of clothes that they we're asking me to alter. But then later on, when I was doing this out of the closet clothes, (segregating the old ones from the keeper ones) I realized that my friends were right. I was staring at my closet and I cant see much bright colored clothes, the ones that are age appropriate? and BOOM it dropped!! my friends were really right. And so, I started to look for bright and or light colored clothes, the ones that would really fit me and at the same time fashion expressive. Now I am loving pink, I hate to think about how I rejected the pink color when I was a kid, why did I ever? its cute! 

In the photo above I am wearing a pink polka dot corset like blouse which I have bought in a random store at the mall, no specific brand, but good quality and of course GREAT color! The photo is not edited too, which is very interesting because as you stare at the tree (tamarind tree) behind me, the tree seems like it was oil painted because it has very small leaves giving it an effect in the photo of an oil painted art work. Cool!

Realization to share: 

Always present yourself with regards to your age, wear clothing that are age appropriate, stop for a while and think if some styles are really fit for you at the moment or else you will be skipping a stage. Don't be in a hurry in fashion, be original but at the same time, right on time :)  

Have you ever felt like wanting to make an impression for the day but at the same time you have to do a lot of walking? Well me? Yes, in this photos. Took a photo of this simple get up I had yesterday since I was feeling really fashionable but business work interfere. Its really hard when you cannot choose a comfy clothes for the day, coz feeling comfy and fashionable is important in ones productivity. So i decided to base all up in my skechers sneakers coz finishing the things to do list is the priority. Driving my closet crazy, i found my leatheret tights and a black v-neck blouse which I havent been using for a period now. Perfect! All black, sporty and sexy, comfortable and ofcourse, fierce! It may be a sneaker day but I believe I made the impression. What do you guys think? Tweet me. 

My sister attended a wedding yesterday and I asked her to have these photos taken because I really love her outfit which was a Venus styled violet dress! She bought it from X shop which sells all formal dresses for women. We added a little bit of some beaded details so that the dress is not too plain and just wow, the look turned out to be simply fantastic! Just a simple make up and an Up do hair would be enough for a garden wedding day of a relative. 
Of course as you can see with this pic, the car behind is a splendid vintage one! its a 1932 ford deuce American graffiti car, a very historical vehicle thou this one is a restored replica which was done by our dad. You can see a movie clip regarding this car on Youtube (just search for american graffiti car). This photo was taken in the parking lot outside the Monochrome events place. 

I love the combination of the look and the car, its a perfect get up, both classy. An elegant lady brought by a classy car. I can feel the womanliness whenever ladies are presented in this way and yes ladies you should all be treated classically! As again as I have blogged about it, its a package! The hair, the dress, the shoes, the make up and the little details, and of course the car is just a part of the style! to wrap it up, one of the most important things one shouldn't forget about is the "how" you carry yourself in the whole event, and as you do everything, that's a complete fashion! love it!

I have been soooo in love with the studded Valentino shoes that many famous people are wearing these days. Unfortunately, I think it is too expensive for me to buy, cant feel the worth of the shoes for that bunch of a money. So this fact still made me feel bad because I really really wanted a sexy ass studded pumps! which led me to searching for other alternatives or other brands that can have the same edginess or sexy rock star effect, and Tada!!!! what a surprise! My sister found these Banana Republic Adelia T Strap Pumps and as it turns out when she sent me these photos, I love it more than the Valentino one. Much simpler and guess what?? she got it on sale (almost 70% off) at the spot with the last one on stock! how lucky am I? I guess its the power of the mind! Cant wait to wear these lovies and I'll blog about it! of course wearing it by then. 

A shoe is a very essential part of one's fashion. A shoe is a big part of the presentation of yourself. If you wear a heels you become sexy, If you wear a flat sandals you become relax and casual, If you wear a running shoe you become sporty. But if you wear a shoe like this, you become EDGIE in style! Fierce! and I like fierce, its strong. SO don't forget that the shoe should be appropriate to your clothing's and your style, and of course make sure its comfortable thou not every shoe can provide comfiness specially if its a high sexy heels. walk the talk in fashion ladies and gents! go walk with confidence. 

Got this from yesterday's shoot in capturing the perfect angle of my sister. And whew! it was really really hard to be a photographer (high respect for them!!!) Anyway, for many years now, I always find that the black and white filter gives me the best effect. There's just something about it. Its very classy, very....... beautiful. Its like when you turn this filter in, a complete story is portrayed. I used my sister as a model here, I love this photo, no other edit here except for the filter. She is a total beauty. love it! 

This isn't the first time I spent a vacation in this island of the Philippines, and this time I am pretty sad about this island when I came back. I captured this moment in the middle of many many people roaming around the island, the case is not the number of people but the acts of each tourist visiting here. Boracay was once were a beautiful, clean place to spend quality time but I guess this time I wont be advising anyone I know or of you people to put this on your #1 list of must be at in your to go list. Its already a too crowded and over developed place and is even getting polluted. Oh I hope this place won't get any worse than the last time I saw it but I guess there is a little chance for my hopes. Why do people don't care of our special surroundings? we are BLESSED to have this place in our world, why wont we take care of it before its too late? hmpff.... 

I believe that fashion is not only about wearing pretty clothes, trending shoes, having the perfect make up and keeping up with whats new. I believe that one expresses fashion as a package, not only about the external expression but also how one person presents himself or herself as a whole. Each one of us have our own taste, it can be classy, modern, punk, abstract, reggae, or mix to name some. Regardless of it, One of the essence of having a good self expression of fashion is about how one carries himself or herself in every way. Me? I love to wear what's comfortable to me, I have a mix type of fashion, Love the classics and formal but sometimes I am a punky one. Never the less, regardless of whatever type of clothes I wear or how do I do my make up, I always carry myself with grace which most of the people always notices, and that wraps it all up (not that I'm boasting). So the bottom line here is that be a package, its not only about the clothes that you are wearing, its about who you are as a whole!
