Let's cut the stereotyping and let a girl wear what she wants to wear. This year, I've dared myself to go experimental when it comes to fashion. I will not confine myself to wearing dresses, skirts and all girly outfits anymore. I've decided to go for more comfortable, stylish yet dapper looks. And since I'm an office girl and an ambitious law student, let's go through all that pressure in style.
gingham
[ging-uh m]
noun
1. yarn dyed, plain weaved cotton fabric, usually striped or checkered.
So, what has basically dominated my closet? Gingham prints. This checkered trend has made a comeback in the world of fashion lately. It has also been widely used as a fashion statement since the late 40s and 60s. I'm digging how it could suddenly give one that fresh, youthful vibe. Honestly, it's not easy to pull off without looking like a picnic table cloth. (I bet I'm not the only one who thinks that way. Haha!) But with the right color and accessories, we can totally flaunt the modern-day gingham girl look.
Just recently, we've witnessed the opening of another shopping complex -- the SM CDO Downtown Premier. I've been invited to the exclusive preview for media influencers of this favored clothing line in the city, MAGS. We've got the regal Ms. Alice Dixson on the menu, new trendy clothes to watch out for and life lessons we can all take note of. Learn more about the humble beginnings of this homegrown fashion brand as you read along.

Cue in Nick Jonas and Nicki Minaj's song... BUM BIDI BUM BUM BUM BUM, BUM BIDI BUM BUM. You give me bad bad love but I love it, baby 💫 So just because I wanted a summer-y article before this month ends and because my camera is filled with beach trips, I've decided to write about one. What's this year's hottest swimwear piece? The one-piece, of course. One-pieces are a thing now.

Here's a new outfit idea for this month, my style-loving friends! In some countries, the month of May usually equates to spring or flowers, so I'm incorporating my look with daisies. Even though it's summer, who says it's not okay to wear spring-inspired clothing? A bit of floral always adds some feminity to any one's outfit.

One of the trending items you can see in most shops these days is VELVET. I think it has been a hype since way back our mothers' teenage years. The comeback is real. It's wearable for different occasions and it looks great when the light hits it. (Hurray for golden hour - the best time to take your selfies or OOTDs 💜) I think my closet is gonna be filled with lots of this for the year!

I tried to sneak in a little outfit post after swimming with my girls at Ultra Winds Mountain Resort here in Cagayan de Oro City. As you can see, my hair is still fresh from our morning dip. But who cares? Messy hair, don't care!
I know, I know. The title is too cheesy for my own good! Haha! I honestly mean going matchy-matchy (defensive mode). Vacay mode is ON! And here's an outfit post from me and Ton... The weather here was just perfect for this and I've been dying to wear this favorite piece in my closet.

Annyeong-haseyo! It's hard to deny that the K-pop invasion has taken over so many, not to mention, the world. From music, tv series, makeup and skincare, they've got us hooked! If you find yourself singing lyrics you don't even understand or you get caught up in the latest Kdrama and finish it in just a day, then it's official. You got the K-fever, dude.
You CAN rock a few outfits with your partner without trying so hard. Like hellooo, who says you can't be all cutesy with your guy some days? This idea came to me on days Ton and I coincidentally kept on wearing the same colors whenever we see each other. People even thought we planned our outfits! No way, Jose!

The weather seemed very helpful when I picked out my outfit for the day. It's just one of those days where you just want to pull out something loose and comfy because it's a cold world out there. I'm actually trying to put a balance between my black and white outfits. I figured that I need to invest on nude or cream tones too!

I do believe that denim truly never goes out of style, so it's important to stock up your own classic denim pieces in your wardrobe. My pick for the month is this denim jacket. You can find these almost everywhere! I would suggest UNIQLO - a Japanese clothing line that sells the most basic and classy Asian outfits or one of my favorites, COTTON-ON, which has a line of denims you can choose from!

Last October 25, 2014 was the date of launching of my first ever fashion line, Stylegasm by Sasa. I am truly overwhelmed by the greetings and praises from my loved ones and different people. You know what they say, "Every great dream begins with a dreamer." With a lot of inspiration and support from the best people, it's only until now that I've finally had it in myself to showcase my love for style and more importantly, to express my passion through my designs. Here's a quick overview about the line. Enjoy!

So, this is the outfit I grabbed from my closet for a Sunday. I usually wake up late on Sundays so I try to pick something fast from my pile of clothes since Sunday is always family day and I don't want to be late for family activities like mass and us-time.

My ideal summer fun is definitely anywhere by the sea or the pool. And for today's outfit post, I'm being one with the water since I chose these colors in shades of blue. I don't usually wear clothes that show too much skin but this day would be an exception. It's summer and you don't wanna cover yourself too much in this scorching heat, so pull of that outfit you've been dying to wear and just make the remaining days count till June.
