IN THE TROPICS

"Wise men say,

Only fools rush in.

But I can't help falling in love with you.

Shall I stay,

Would it be a sin?

If I can't help falling in love with you."

Bag | Aranaz x R2R bag

ALOHA!

Surf's Up, Sun's Up.

It's always in full bloom...

When you're in the tropics!

Hat | Desigual
Shoes | Wade

What's up with this look?

'Cause I'm attending a Laua Party with a Lilo & Stitch theme!

Exciting, isn't it?!

What do you think of my OOTD? 

Shades | Fly

When I saw this Forever 21 Maxi Dress,

I just immediately fell in love with it.

I just love how bright & vibrant the colors were,

With a very sexy yet conservative twist around the waist!

You wouldn't really see this cut-outs from afar,

But if you're quite near me or you were observant enough, you'll notice it!

Fashion, for me, is all about the details,

It's what really makes me SOPHIEsticated!

Earrings | Pink Box

So let me give you a glimpse of this grand Laua Party held at Century Park Hotel!

Me & My Godchild Hugh! <3

And of course, all of this wouldn't be possible without the loving parents...

BRIAN + NINA = BRIANNA

So now you know why I sported this tropical look!

And as my close friend Brian Diaz jokes about my gorgeous dress,

He calls it the Pineapple Dress! 

Oh boys, you need to know more about girl's style. (I'll gladly help you out!)

With lots of love,

CONFESSION # 1

Accessories ALWAYS make or break an outfit!

Don't over accessorize. Keep it simple.

If you're already wearing earrings, opt for bangles, not necklaces.

CONFESSION # 2

Prints are best worn with Plains!

You wouldn't want to over-do it and look like a clown right?!

Make colors pop by simply wearing contrasts.

CONFESSION # 3

Don't be afraid to be naughty & nice with fashion!

Fashion is a freedom of expression, a visual shout-out.

It's simply daring to stand out by sporting playful cut-outs.

CONFESSION# 4

Wear the wrong shoes & you've got everything to lose!

Wedge is usually my favorite pick for casual days,

It's comfort and style that's meant to last you all day.
