TRIBAL CHIC

The concept of tribal chic is very playful.

Mix and Match your geometric pieces for that exotic Tribal Chic Look!

Shades | Fly 
Skirt | Apartment8

Bracelet | Ethnu
Shoes | Tory Burch

Take note of my Tribal Statement Pieces:

Wear those chunky ethnic accessories. 

You'll be an instant headturner with your edgy look.

So my stylista tip for you today:

Dare to look different!

So with this look, I was off to Solaire Resort & Casino...

Of course, to have fun, lose money (win some), and to celebrate Mother's Day!

Grand Entrance of Solaire!

Since Fresh Buffet was fully packed, we decided to give YAKUMI a try!

For taste, quality & food presentation, YAKUMI will definitely pass with flying colors. 

Price wise, you'd better prepare your pockets as this is definitely a big catch.

Tori Teriyaki (Php750)-For grilled chicken, this is way too expensive. This was quite dry, but you can tell that this was grilled and marinated with less soy sauce and seasonings. 

Lamb Saikyo Yaki (Php 1339)-This is my ultimate favorite! The Australian lamb chops were absolutely tender and juicy. I could have finished this dish if this was the only entree we ordered! A must-order!

Buta Kankuni (Php723)-This braised pork belly dish was served in 3 pieces. It looks very tempting, but I'm not a fan of pork belly so I passed. My father, however, finished this dish so it must mean it tasted great!

Kamo Kuwayaki (Php 857)- The duck was beautifully and artistically presented in an imported Himalayan Slate. Trust me, the slate was too heavy to carry or even move. I can just imagine how tormenting this is for waiters to carry this dish. But I have to commend how tasty and tender the duck tasted. It's incomparable!

Farewell Solaire, until we meet again, which is soon!

Check out Solaire's Water Parade I took below:

Tinkerbell

This look reminds me of Tinkerbell!

It's probably 'cuz of my Peter Pan Collared Blouse.

Don't you agree???

So you may call me Tink for now.

It just feels great to be a fairy once in a while.

Shoes | Cardam's
Blouse | Greenhills Bazaar
Skirt | USA

My look is very flowy and glittery.
 It's just like the pixie dust Tinkerbell leaves when she moves around.
Unfortunately, you won't fly when you get mesmerized by my pixie look!
You'll just have to wait for your boy/girl to blow you away.

Shoes and shades are accessories that always give you that instant glam!

So always work on it, girls and boys!

It'll help you steal the show.

Cardam's

So here's more of my Tink Looks!

Personality-wise, I am similar to Tink!

Creative, inventive & sassy. Yes, that's me.

But I may be hot-tempered, jealous & feisty too if the situation calls for it.

Don't worry, I have yet to find my Peter Pan.

"I'm a tinker. It's who I am. And tinkers fix things."

Love,

Tink (SOPHIEsticated)

So this is the modern day Tink outfit I thought of. 

What do you think???

C2 Classic Cuisine: The New Menu Launch!

I'm a self-confessed foodie!

Admittedly, a pig when it comes to great food.

My mantra: There's no such thing as DIETING when food is this good!

So where was I off to yesterday??? 

And what was my outfit, you may ask.

Let's go with what my outfit first to give you a hint of the event I'm attending!

My attire foreshadows an exciting event: A NEW MENU TASTING LAUNCH!

Shades | Fly
Lipstick | YSL
Shoes | Wade
Pants | USA

             As I am expecting this resto's fusion of spices to satisfy my demanding palate,

            My sophisticated and vibrant attire just says how excited I am for this event!

So what restaurant will be launching this exciting menu???

It's C2 CLASSIC CUISINE!

 I was luckily part of this event so...

Readers, let me share with you my C2 dining experience at Greenhills.

As you enter this place, you will be left in awe with its eye-catching ambiance.

The dwindling staircase,

 the artistically drawn wallpapers,

 and the stylishly decorated lights,

perfect this resto's modern vibe, with a cultural twist.

While waiting for the dishes, we were served with these to nibble on.

My gastronomic feast starts here. Feast your eyes!

'Corn Beef' ( as MM calls it)

This Beef & Corn Entree tastes so good, most especially as it's smothered with  gravy and garlic bits.

I can still remember how tender the beef are. Yum! Trust me on this! A must-order!

Rice | Jambalaya & Pandan
Soup | Sinigang 

Ginataang Laing
Oh my God! Can I just share that I'm the one who almost devoured this whole dish.
Believe me, I'm no vegetable eater, but this dish has turned me into a vegetable lover!!!
This is my 1st time to eat this Ginataang Laing and it's just oh-so-good!
I just love how creamy this dish tastes-the spicy coconut milk is the best!

Steamed Chicken
This is not that extraordinary, but it's quite good too!

Crispy Beef Ribs
This dish has impressed me since its flavors linger in my mouth after every bite.
Its crunchiness & crispiness tastes so amazing! 

Gising Gising with Shrimp & Pork
I'm not fond of beans so I just enjoyed the shrimps and pork cooked in shrimp paste & coconut milk.

Tortang Tinapa

Yes, any dish can taste like heaven when fried with eggs.

It's just Heaven & Eggs!!!

      And of course, no dining experience would ever be complete without desserts for the sweet tooths! 

Cakes | by Cravings
Suman Panna Cotta (Anaconda as Francis calls it. Haha!)
Buko Pandan Shake

 Buko Pandan Shake This is literally the perfect summer quencher!
This refreshing pandan drink with jelly cubes, buko strips and coconut milk is a must-order!

Cakes by Cravings Deliciously creamy, Cravings Cakes are just irresistible and moist.

Suman Panna Cotta This is the dessert I found most interesting.
This Italian dessert was Filipinized 'cuz it was laid on a bed of suman.
The rich vanilla cream smothered on the suman is just unbelievably flavorful!

So let's meet some of the attendees of the event too.

Dyud, MM, Francis (Amazing Family indeed!)

SOLAIRE

BRIGHT & BOLD.

This is how I'm feeling right now!

Is it because of the Solaire Bandwagon?

Or is it just the sun telling me: 'Shine Bright!'

Lace Skirt | Apartment8
Wedges | CATCH

Yes, it's finally time for the brights.

So bring out those sunnies & hats,

Let's have that summer look comin', shall we?

Watch | Michael Kors

Shades | Fly's 'Mora' Shades
Lipstick | MAC
One of my personal favorites is my Fly Shades!
They just instantly bring out the SOPHIEstication in me.
 Chic, elegant and stylish in every sense of the word  See... It's just glam!

Yellow is rarely won. But this color can truly make wonders. 

As it is bright, it catches attention like no other. 

It's not too much, but you're sure you're doing it right. 

Simple yet stylish, plain yet seductive. 

That's exactly the look I'm eyeing for. 

Top it off with that perfect summer wedges and you're definitely good to go!

I'm just so excited to visit Solaire,

That I just had to dress up "Brighter than the Sun"

I feel like the Goddess of Sunlight.

Everyone just gazing at me,

Oh, what an eye-popping experience!

I'm feelin' perky right now.

A little playful, I should say.

I just can't wait to try my luck in this newly opened resort & casino.

Let's keep it rolling, baby.

See you, Baby.
