It's a post on common mistakes done by girls when posing. Go take a look!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Posing. It's a simple gesture or movement done when taking pictures. May it be candid or practiced, posing defines a person's characteristics. Girls, most especially, have different types of posing depending on what their persona is. I know a few who project fun and flirty poses, and I know one or two who try <i>so hard</i> to look erotic. As for me, I'd go for whatever suits me - which is, uh, I don't know exactly. Hahahaha. Whatever you see here on our blog, that's it. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now why did I make a post about posing? Well, it's because most girls don't know how to. They try to exude model-esque poses which might not turn out the same way as the ones that supermodels do. And, lately I've been seeing girls do unflattering poses (which you'll see later) and I feel sad because, well, they're girls! We should all look pretty! Anywho, here we go with a few of my own versions as to how girls pose now, and what I can suggest they do instead:</div>

Girls do this all the time and some are just fine. But most? they extend their legs far enough to make it look hoochie. It looks tacky and super cheap. And, for the love of everything holy, you're not a cowboy and you didn't just ride a horse! Close your legs!</div>

After you open your legs, try to bring your knees in together. Subtlety is the key, so instead of looking ridiculous, you'd look more refined.</div>

Believe it or not, I've seen girls do this pose. And they do the "look away" thing so it would look effortless. But really, it makes you appear shorter, wider and forced.</div>

If you really can't close your legs (because you're <b>that</b> kind of a person), then I suggest you create optical illusions, such as this one. Bend one knee and tilt it inward so you'd create angles. It would seem like you have longer legs.</div>

While this may look okay, I've seen short girls do this pose where they look knock-kneed (or in my language, "piki"). And for short girls to do that, it would make y'all look even shorter since you didn't stretch your legs. <i>(I called this pose "Bambi feet" because you look like a deer).</i></div>

Since you'd like for your knees to meet and get to know each other better, I suggest you cross your legs <b>and</b> point your toes towards the camera. That way the curve of your feet would make you look like you're taller</div>

<i>You thought you've seen the worst?</i> Nope. Girls do this especially when they're in a group shot. They want to stand out. So they "tooch" their booty to make it seem like they're curvy (with matching hideous hand gesture to complete the irritating look)</div>

<i>Okay, this <b>is</b> the second worst of them all (the next one's the worst).</i> I've seen a few girls do this, trying to channel their inner "Pussycat Doll" vibe, but instead they look like manly construction workers. Some of them were even wearing skirts or dresses! Take it from a girl who looks brute on her own: you look ridiculous.</div>

I told you this is the worst! And this is so common, you have at least one friend who does this. I admit, I've done this once or twice, but as a joke. Now it's not funny. To all girls who do this: 1980's called. They want their tacky posing back. (Notice le duck face? Yup. It's intentional.)</div>

When you hold on to your hips, it creates less definition to your curves but extends your arms downwards so it looks thinner and longer at the same time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you hold on to your waist, it defines your silhouette much better than when you hold on to your hips. But if you do both hands, you might look wider, since your shoulders and arm are spread outward. What I do is I use one arm, tilt a little to the opposite side and let my other arm hang on my front. Try it. Not only will you have curves, it would also show your arms and you create angles so you'd look taller. :)</div>

Woo! I got through the first challenge without ruining my sweater! And for today, I went for a minimalist casual wardrobe but with a twist :)<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">So what I meant by adding a "twist" was that I wore pumps! I had a strappy sandals in my closet that looked good with the whole ensemble but when I tried my pumps, I dunno, I liked it better :) When I took it off I was limping but meh, it was worth it. I used my turquoise handbag as another accessory just to add a splash of color (not in the photo)</div></div>Chay and Herlynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17427899966291719133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513807203736466506.post-71438520536678602922012-03-21T06:47:00.002-07:002012-03-21T10:47:43.237-07:003 Day Challenge: Knit Sweater<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7S7NB5intx0/T2nH9lqlvII/AAAAAAAAA4E/IVrnCrsRBvo/s1600/ban.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7S7NB5intx0/T2nH9lqlvII/AAAAAAAAA4E/IVrnCrsRBvo/s640/ban.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I don't normally dress very girly but I felt like this challenge should show my range. I mean I can't stick to my usual comfy casual type of wardrobe, plus my new shoes look super pretty! I actually saw a pair of Melissa by Vivienne Westwood replicas in divi a few days before leaving for Bicol, and they were like 1800php there. When I got to shop in Bicol, I found the exact same shoes for 400php only! Super score!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Pardon the small spots on my legs, I just came back from my province and apparently, insects like my blood. Hence, the yucky scratch marks and insect bites. -_-</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Hi guys! This is my first DIY tutorial so please bear with me!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-52LkQblQx00/T0I5lQyu0oI/AAAAAAAAA10/vm2-mlzBiu8/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-52LkQblQx00/T0I5lQyu0oI/AAAAAAAAA10/vm2-mlzBiu8/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Okay so this one's pretty simple, but since it's my first, it's forgivable hahaha</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>STEP 1:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E4MlYbrib8Y/T0I8gQ0-9HI/AAAAAAAAA2E/wFdqecWCt7k/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-E4MlYbrib8Y/T0I8gQ0-9HI/AAAAAAAAA2E/wFdqecWCt7k/s400/2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Clean your nails! Use cotton balls/buds to thoroughly remove old polish.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>STEP 2:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1YdZzuy--cI/T0JCl-PthxI/AAAAAAAAA2U/eXejmePOm2o/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1YdZzuy--cI/T0JCl-PthxI/AAAAAAAAA2U/eXejmePOm2o/s400/3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Paint your base color! Make sure to put on 2 coats, just to get a more solid color.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6m5b6Vo6FoQ/T0JD7hY5yuI/AAAAAAAAA2k/sxjOh7sYPAA/s1600/3a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6m5b6Vo6FoQ/T0JD7hY5yuI/AAAAAAAAA2k/sxjOh7sYPAA/s400/3a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>So it should look like that. :) </b>Leave it to dry for about 4 minutes/</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>STEP 3:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zgasFtfbyZg/T0JFR-89I8I/AAAAAAAAA20/A6PIXGincpY/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zgasFtfbyZg/T0JFR-89I8I/AAAAAAAAA20/A6PIXGincpY/s400/4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Add the dots! I used a BBQ/kebab stick instead of a wooden toothpick because the tip of the stick's more circular. When you put on the dots, make sure to actually push it, rather than just dab the tip.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ifrrIUQkiHY/T0JGDjiObeI/AAAAAAAAA28/eDIvQAIaRMU/s1600/5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ifrrIUQkiHY/T0JGDjiObeI/AAAAAAAAA28/eDIvQAIaRMU/s400/5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">put on both hands. It's best if you don't put on too many dots, so it won't overcrowd your nails.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>STEP 4: (<u>optional</u>)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rySRF0Qm9b4/T0JGtIPNzGI/AAAAAAAAA3E/sH-y9uNk204/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rySRF0Qm9b4/T0JGtIPNzGI/AAAAAAAAA3E/sH-y9uNk204/s400/6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dt5fFSapCmo/T0JHDxVax0I/AAAAAAAAA3M/dLninFLM_SI/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dt5fFSapCmo/T0JHDxVax0I/AAAAAAAAA3M/dLninFLM_SI/s400/7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Add more dots using a different color!</b> Again don't put on too much, since now there would be two types of dots.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>STEP 5:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qyu50_fGQic/T0JJBMi-fxI/AAAAAAAAA3k/ihTHU-e2t6Y/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qyu50_fGQic/T0JJBMi-fxI/AAAAAAAAA3k/ihTHU-e2t6Y/s400/8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Put on a colorless polish for the top coat to finish the whole thing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-beLYtlb1EA4/T0JJc6kft2I/AAAAAAAAA3s/GJmnvVDGBAM/s1600/9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-beLYtlb1EA4/T0JJc6kft2I/AAAAAAAAA3s/GJmnvVDGBAM/s640/9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Voila!</b> Sorry the dots looks uneven, I had to manually shoot and pose hahahaha. And anyway, there is no rule against oddly shaped polka dots so I think it's okay!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The trick is to use a solid/regular nail polish as base, instead of using frosted ones. I think it's better since the design's more on the dots rather than the base.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks for reading my very first DIY tutorial! So, how did I do? Let me know what you think :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div>I felt like not dressing up too much (like always) but I thought hey, instead of wearing my trusty ol' espadrilles, why not my loafers? And whatdya know, it sort of improved my laid-back look. I've never been a fan of leather shoes but I <i>might</i> put an exception for this pair. They are ridiculously comfortable! Ah! I'm a convert. I shall be wearing this more often now so, you have been warned. ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
Also I just realized now that I have worn tassel on my neck and feet at the same time. Overkill? Maybe, but I like it. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />

(plus so many other stuff)Hi guys! So this one's an OOTD from me, but it needs a few explanations on what happened. So here it goes:<br />
<br />
<br />
This post is heavy on photos, for an OOTD. You have been warned.<br />
<a name='more'></a><div align="center"><br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">So last Saturday (January 28 2012) my cousin Angel celebrated her 18th birthday party at the Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_I642CBxbQk/TyWVCDJ9IpI/AAAAAAAAAzc/cDrNoEvHdq8/s1600/DSC_0079.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_I642CBxbQk/TyWVCDJ9IpI/AAAAAAAAAzc/cDrNoEvHdq8/s400/DSC_0079.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Being older than her, I had more experience in attending this type of party. So I went somewhat semi-casual. And whattya know, when I went in, I felt super under dressed. Her friends were wearing the type of dress you'd wear to your prom or graduation ball - satin, tulle and sequins were flying.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Unfortunately, my super "handy" camera ran out of battery when I asked my mom to take an outfit picture of me. Yes, most - if not all - the pics I have of me are with my family. You'll see.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Days before her party, I kept telling her <i>"Peg ko si Liz Uy ha?"</i> which was my way of saying I refuse to wear my cocktail dress. Did I pull off the quintessential Liz Uy look?<br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
So I'll show you what I wore in separate pictures:<br />
<br />

</i></div>I wore a lace blazer. We weren't supposed to wear white and yeah, my dress was dominantly white. Luckily I found that the day before! Of course, it's thrifted. ;)<br />

This would probably be my most favorite because it's the cheapest and the most durable. I got this at a thrifted store for 30php. I've worn this thrice (rained twice) and this has got to be the one that can withstand the rain and the floods the most. Plus, it's so pretty and it looks expensive. :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Hi guys! So this haul's extra extra <b>EXTRA </b>special, since it's <b>Chay's first package for me!</b> Isn't that sweet? Hihi. Well this started as a sort of an experiment, to see if we can send stuff to each other, you know like how normal friends would. We planned this back in July, and we started coming up with things we both didn't have - or lacked thereof - from where we were. (HAHAHA that sounded stupid) SO ANYWAY, this was the first package <b>ever</b>. She came up with a package with stuff I didn't have - make-up, obviously - and after getting this (C/o tita tonyo [her boyfriend's mom. I call her tita Tonyo cos I forgot her name but her son's name is Tonyo so there haha] thank you tita!) I gave Tita my package for Chay! But we'll get to that later.</div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Honestly, I was never a fan of cocktail rings until just recently and thank to my best friend, Herlynn! She bought me tons of rings and this is just perfect! I have always said that I would start collecting more gold or just ring accessories! So far this is my fave and the heaviest ring I have so far! Haha!<br />

HERLYNN: Well, I guess we could say we did, pero it was temporary. Style comes from personality, and we're both carefree people. Now if we wore things we didn't like, or forced ourselves into, we really can't call it our look, can we? ;)<br />

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div></div>Okay so this haul's sort of a special one because all of these things were given to me by my boyfriend for Christmas. He took me to SM Megamall to shop. But since his girlfriend's a frugal girl (le me) he insisted that we go across the street from Megamall to St. Francis Square (which was a sort-of closer to home divi-esque bazaar place for those who live in the North). Safe to say I had a <b>great </b>time. :) So these are the things that I got!<br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">All in all it was a great day. They had plenty of stuff there, and they sold nifty items that most boutiques inside the mall didn't have. Though the area was a bit too stuffy for me (mind you, I go to Divi every other week). Plus some were a bit pricey for me. But it was a great experience and I'd like to go back someday.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Day 7! Cool! So for this day we have...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><u>Day 07 - Your Favourite Animal Print Piece</u></strong></span></div><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Herlynn's choice:</span></strong></span><br />
<br />
I have different types of animal prints - I have giraffe-printed pants, zebra-printed shoes and dress, and a leopard-printed maxi dress but this, by far, would be my most used and obviously my favorite animal print piece. I've used this head wrap countless times, for different occassions, and multiple wardrobe. It's easy to say that head wraps are very flexible. It's an instant accessory, especially for me because I dislike wearing too much stuff at once. So this would be the quickest statement piece I would always go for.<br />

I was ecstatic when I received this from my boyfriend! (THANK YOU) We have been looking for these all over Vancouver but yeah it was ALWAYS sold out and now I have one! But then they released Naked2Palette... So sad. Oh well. Since I feel like I'm the last person who bought this and a lot of people have made a review on it, I'll just make a quickie review... All opinion counts right? So here it goes!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Cons:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Not really a con but there are only two matte shades but if you really don't care, like me, then it is not counted as a con haha!</div><div style="text-align: left;">People may think it's on the pricey side but I think this is worth it. It will take you forever to hit pan on these babies unless you them everyday. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Overall:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">I recommend this for people who are looking for the perfect everyday palette. It is surely an investment! You can definitely play around this to have a day look and an evening look! Enjoy!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Sorry that I had to put a heart on my face! It's just me being <i>maarte!</i><br />
So basically, I only had 10 minutes to get ready so I couldn't really be picky of what I was going to wear. (I got off from school really late and had school the next day, hehe) So yeah!<br />

Hi guys! This is Chay typing and I'm very sorry that I haven't really contributed anything to our blog. I have been busy with school and work. It's kinda stressing because a lot has happened but yeah! Happy New Year! Haha! We had to stop our favourites from the Philippine Fashion Week but don't worry! The 30 Day Challenge is still on and now we're on our 6th day! We're so far behind! But here it goes!<br />

Not only am I not a person who wears make-up, I don't also own anything that has this kitten's face on it. However, I do have this one piece, and it's more of a tangible memory than a collectible. This one and only hello Kitty thing I have is a keychain given to me by my dad when I was in first grade. I remember him giving this to me on the first day of school before he drove me there. I have no significant dialogues that went along with this but I will always remember that this keychain was given to me by my dad on my first day of school. First and only Hello Kitty thing I have.<br />
<div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br />

I was a Hello Kitty fan when I was a kid but... I grew out of it but I still think HK is cute! Haha! I don't have any Hello Kitty items but my sister gave me a... Hello Kitty Vans! I honestly haven't worn them out yet because it's currently snowing in Vancouver. IT SUCKS. But oh well! Looking forward to put these little cuties on! My first ever Vans!<br />

(The Philstar YStyle holiday outfit contest.)Hi guys! So this post won't be the type of thing that I usually discuss here - it's more of a personal experience. Care to read?<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
So a few weeks back, PhilSTAR YStyle (The Friday fashion section of the Philippine Star) held this contest wherein we (their readers) had to submit our most <em>fashown</em> holiday outfits, via twitter. First prize gets 15,000php worth of GC from SM that can be used as Forever21 GCs as well.<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><img class="scaled-image" height="413px" jquery15204401350103208834="86" origheight="897" origwidth="1024" src="http://p.twimg.com/AiKFEwhCIAEkGI6.jpg:large" width="471px" /></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">AWESOME, RIGHT?</span></strong></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="left">So I tried my luck, and came up with an outfit that I thought summed up last year's hottest trends:</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img class="scaled-image" height="413px" jquery15206098186079018484="388" origheight="750" origwidth="1024" src="http://p.twimg.com/AiLqZWZCQAI8wh4.jpg:large" width="563px" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>"<a class=" twitter-atreply pretty-link" data-screen-name="itsonYStyle" href="http://twitter.com/itsonYStyle" rel="nofollow"><s>@</s>itsonYStyle</a> my best holiday outfit! My play on pastel, tassels and combat-inspired fad last year. Enjoy! :) <a class="twitter-timeline-link" data-display-url="pic.twitter.com/4ewEtL6d" data-expanded-url="http://twitter.com/herlynnfabros/status/153943058508038144/photo/1" data-media-h="440" data-media-w="600" data-twitter-media-url="true" href="http://t.co/4ewEtL6d" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="http://twitter.com/herlynnfabros/status/153943058508038144/photo/1">http://t.co/4ewEtL6d</a>"</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So that was my entry. Yes, I am aware that the editing was crappy (haha) but I saw the ad <strong>on the day of the deadline!</strong> Needless to say, this was the best look that I could've pulled off that morning.</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">So, <strong>DID I WIN? </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">No.</span></div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">But! I lost to a great group of competitors! See, that day they decided that not only would there be one winner, but they chose 2 more to get a consolation prize, and that's to get their pictures published alongside the grand winner. (NOT BAD!)</span></div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />

Since Christmas is around the corner, parties are being set up to celebrate this awesome holiday. May it be between your friends, your classmates, your colleagues at work or just a simple family gathering, surely you get to socialize with tons of people. But, even though this holiday serves as a break, it doesn't mean that dressing up and being fashionable can be put to hold, too - NO. In fact, this is the one of those crucial holidays wherein you must put your best foot forward in terms of being able to dress well. And I'm here to help! Here we go:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>1st: </strong><u>Office Party</u></span><br />
<br />
Most people, especially those who work at a white collar job, would find this party as the start of a very long vacation. Hence, they start their vacation by dressing casually. But sometimes, most who do dress <strong>TOO </strong>casual to even be called "fashionable", and they cross the lines of being "sloppy" and "uninspired". Yes, your job may be boring at times but don't show it by means of dressing up poorly!<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">DONT:</span></u></strong></div><div align="center"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_2tRdd-LAV8/Tt5k1ZcLaPI/AAAAAAAAAsA/g7srxqkz2So/s1600/office2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="320px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_2tRdd-LAV8/Tt5k1ZcLaPI/AAAAAAAAAsA/g7srxqkz2So/s320/office2.jpg" width="208px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>- dress up like you ran out of clothes to wear. Putting on your casual friday pants and top, wearing your everyday sweater and adding pumps to seemingly show that you're "out to party" is not a fashionable thing to do.</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(sweater: Giordano | top: Maldita | denim pants: Forever21 | pumps: thrifted)</span></em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Where are my college students at? Being in college means having awesome Christmas parties sponsored by the school. You get to go there for free, watch bands and other celebrities perform and get goodies at the end of the night. Some schools even open their doors for outsiders to celebrate with them and watch fireworks at the end of the night. So of course, you get to encounter different kinds of people there - most of whom you're not familiar with. Not to mention, the stress and hassle of standing all night, running around, grabbing food, etc. IT'S EXHAUSTING. So, why put more stress and effort by dressing up too much?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Theme parties. No holiday has gone by without having themed parties.And since Christmas time is here, the most popular theme, especially for this season, has got to be the color theme. Now this kind of party is tricky, since wearing red and green is a fashion faux pax all-year round. Yes, wearing it during your party might be acceptable, but what if you encounter other people outside your party, say when you commute going to the place or when you're out buying extra stuff for the party? Either you ready yourself from humiliation, or follow this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">DON'T:</span></u></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Don't actually wear a big green-colored apparel and a big red-colored apparel at the same time.

If you don't want to risk being laughed at, concentrate on one color (here I chose red), and use the other color as an <u>accent</u>(which I intepreted by wearing green shoes that are two tones darker).

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When Christmas is fast approaching, it means you get to have awesome holiday parties and holiday discounts at the mall. But when Christmas <em>is</em> here and all those events are thru, the final party you get to attend is with your family. These reunions signify how attached we are with our families and showing up to these events show how close-knit a certain family is. Of course, these events also mean you get to see relatives that you don't get to see often, so that gives you the opportunity to express who you really are, even at a very limited time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mid-Holiday events mean during or after Christmas and before New Year. Whether you go to church or go to other events, these things are very tricky. Since at this time Christmas has just passed, most people still try to "dress to impress" and would rely on what they got for Christmas. In turn, instead of looking great, they look hideous because of overdressing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><u><span style="font-size: large;">DON'T:</span></u></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I hope my tips gave you an idea what's more appropriate to wear this upcoming season. But don't forget - apart from dressing well and getting gifts, Christmas is about sharing what you have to others, which is what I did to all of you! Now it's your turn to share this post to your friends, so you can spare them the humiliation. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Hey guyssss! Took me a long time to go back to Divisoria! Good thing the holiday season's here, so vendors in Divi sell their stuff in a cheaper price than before! Of course, I had to stock up on my accessories, since I lost my other rings and necklaces. (:c) Let's see what I got for this day:<br />

So this is our second installment of our article called "Fashion Do's and Donts" where we suggest a few tips on how to look better and present yourselves better. But on this particular article, I'd like to share a few do's and dont's that <strong><span style="font-size: large;">guys</span></strong> need to follow in order for them to give the perfect gift to their better halves. Yes that's right: <u><em>this one's for the guys</em></u>. So, if you have your boyfriend or fiance or husbands or your suitors anywhere near you, make sure to make them read this, 'cause it will help them a lot! Or, send this link to them if they're not there! Let's get it started:<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
It's almost Christmas time, and yes most of the time we get crappy gifts from our relatives (I got a figurine once. Wtf was that about) but we expect the most valuable gift from our other halves. May it be jewellery we've been dying to get, or a new dog - we must get it. But most of the time, they end up failing us and giving us something we least expected to have, or none at all. So for all the guys out there, here are my 5 simple rules on giving us the perfect gift:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1st: <span style="font-size: large;">DON'T <u><span style="font-size: small;">assume sizes:</span></u></span></b><br />
<br />
<img height="320px" src="http://s7.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/6A285AF8.jpg" width="320px" /><img height="320px" src="http://www.shoe-tease.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/versace-x-HM-black-leather-dress-boots.jpg" width="309px" /><br />
<br />
<br />
This is one mistake you should <strong>never </strong>do. Never assume that we wear this certain size or our feet are this big because more often than not, you're wrong. I have had one instance where a guy bought me a shirt and it was 2 sizes smaller than me. When I asked why did he buy me such a small shirt he said he thought I looked like a girl that would fit in an S-sized shirt. Flattering as that might be, the bad part is now I can't wear it - haven't worn it since.<br />
<br />
<strong>TIP:</strong><br />
<br />
If you are unsure of what her size is, make sure to <strong>ask her friends</strong> for help, because they probably have an idea since we girls borrow clothes from each other. Or better yet, if you have complete access to her room, <strong>go sneak into her closet</strong> and find the dresses/shirts/pants/skirts/shorts/shoes/slippers/heels that she <strong><u>often</u></strong> wears; not just any type of clothing you can grab. Clothes that she often wears are the ones that fit her perfectly, so better if you pick them out.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>2nd: <span style="font-size: large;">DO </span><span style="font-size: small;"><u>research on what she likes:</u></span></strong><br />
<br />
<img height="212px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9upsRNBFB8o/TUF4Z0gvgQI/AAAAAAAACpg/F-F4loKjwnk/s320/cambridge-satchel-company-1.jpg" width="320px" /><img height="264px" src="http://www.coveringsmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/christian-louboutin-summer-shoes.jpg" width="320px" /><br />
<br />
<br />
It's not enough that she says to you the things that she'd like to have; no. Chances are, the things that she told you she liked are cheaper or different from what she actually likes. Most girls - that I know - rely on the fact that nowadays it's not wise to spend so much on little things like bags or shoes. I admit, I'm like that too. So, instead of telling you what we want, we tell you the second or fourth or maybe the ninth thing that we'd like to have, which is, again, inexpensive.<br />
<strong>TIP:</strong><br />
<br />
If this is that Christmas where you want to splurge your girlfriends or wives with the gifts that they actually want, here's my advice: Go check her phone or her laptop and look for pictures of things in there. Most likely she would've saved it there, because for her that's the farthest she can go from getting such a thing. Or, if she's that kind of girl that gets attention, most likely, she posted it on her facebook page under the title "Christmas wishlist" or "things I'd like to get for Christmas", look for the most expensive one there, that's the thing she's really into. Or, better yet, ask her friends. Trust me, they know.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>3rd: <span style="font-size: large;">DON'T </span><span style="font-size: small;"><u>be naive; not all girls like make-up!</u></span></strong><br />
<br />
<img height="289px" src="http://images04.olx.com.ph/ui/13/61/36/1299673121_64335536_1-Pictures-of--Best-selling-Books-in-2005-ebook-bundle.jpg" width="320px" /><img height="250px" src="http://www.thefoxisblack.com/blogimages/vansvault08-2.jpg" width="320px" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Let me break it down for you: <strong>NOT ALL GIRLS ARE THE SAME.</strong> Yes, we may have the same anatomies but that doesn't mean our brains were wired the same way! We all have different qualities that define us into certain categories - there are girls who like books, make-up, anime, skateboarding, clubbing, golfing, cooking, dressing-up, gaming, etc.. These qualities differentiate the dork from the fashionista; the gamer from the wannabe chef; the skater from the bookworm. So if you gave books to a girl you more often see in clubs rather than in the library then we might have a problem there.<br />
<br />
<strong>TIP:</strong><br />
<br />
There's this one thing that I always find helpful, in terms of getting to know a person - communication. Talk to her more often, ask her what are her likes and dislikes. If she fits in a certain category, go look for stuff that you think she'd find interesting! And another thing: Though these categories are concrete, there are certain girls who defy boundaries and are categorized in more than one quality (i.e., she likes skateboarding but she also digs fashion). So if you ever get to encounter such, find out which one she's more interested in, focus on that hobby of hers and give her something that you think she would like to have. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>4th: Almost all the time, <span style="font-size: large;">DO </span><span style="font-size: small;"><u>go for accessories:</u></span></strong><br />
<br />
<img height="169px" src="http://d.imagehost.org/0353/denim_ballet_flats_120110.png" width="200px" /><img height="183px" src="http://www.ladysoda.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/bags.jpg" width="200px" /><img height="200px" src="http://www.stylisheve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Fall-Fashion-Accessories-2011-15.jpg" width="200px" /><br />
<br />
Yes, more often than not, we like getting accessories than clothes. Why? First we're girls! We like small trinkets that adds flair into our wardrobe! From shoes to bags to earrings, I assure you, we have more than what we're supposed to have. And two, because accessories are more of an investment than clothes. We save our money to get shoes or bracelets more often than we save up for shorts or tops. Accessories are more wearable, since there's almost no restrictions of wearing them, in terms of seasons.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>TIP:</strong><br />
<br />
Observation is key in determining what kind of accessories she wears the most. Some of us buy more shoes than bags or bracelets and such. It would mean a greater deal if you got her what she wanted/invested more on, rather than what you think she needs to buy more.<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>5th: <span style="font-size: large;">DO </span><span style="font-size: small;"><u>the right thing; be ROMANTIC.</u></span></strong><br />
<br />
<img height="209px" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sHEp0HSX2Cs/TmNzjgeEFFI/AAAAAAAABVo/OSZDCeYGcqc/s320/Candle-Light-Dinner.jpg" width="320px" /><img height="222px" src="http://www.visualphotos.com/photo/2x2885384/Man_kissing_a_woman_in_a_restaurant_SMP0001423.jpg" width="320px" /><br />
<br />
One common mistake most guys do is assume that we always like things. I'm telling you right now, you're wrong. Yes we like to shop, we like to buy a few things from time to time, but what we'd really like from you? Romance. Not all girls are <u>materialistic, </u>especially for those who have been in a relationship for quite sometime now. Most girls who have been in a relationship for more than a year or two aren't into tangible objects anymore because what they yearn for the most are sweet gestures. Girls like it when they're taken care of, and exerted effort upon, rather than being handed out a small box that had something that we already have, or we can afford to buy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>TIP:</strong><br />
<br />
Make a big gesture. Do something you've never done before to her (i.e., write a song for her, make her food, etc.). If you're her suitor, surprise her with your guitar-playing skills and give her poetry. If you've been in a relationship for quite a while and is going stagnant, bring back the spark you once had by surprising her with a candlelight dinner(Or maybe even pop the question already?)! I promise you, not only would she appreciate it more, but it would be a save you tons of money. Remember: There are still a few of us who appreciate the small yet sweet things you do. :)<br />

Hi guys! Sorry for the delay on our 30-day challenge! We've got more in store for you! So on our next challenge:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><u>Day 05 — Your favorite pair of Louboutins</u></strong></span></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Herlynn's choice</strong><br />
<br />
Well, this challenge was the easiest for me. I mean if I were to have a pair of louboutins (yes, I've been praying for quite some time now), I'd wear it every second of every minute of every day, instead of reserving it for a "special occassion". Hey, everyday's an occassion for me, and so I chose this <strong>Christian Louboutin Bibi 140mm Suede Camel pumps. </strong>It's so simple yet, the shoe itself is a statement. First of it's suede. Second, the color. It's borderline nude, so it can compliment any color you'd like to wear. Very beautiful.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">I've always wanted a classic red pump, and this <strong>Christian Louboutin 150mm Eel Red Peep Toe pumps </strong>would be my perfect pair. It's very sexy, from the form to the color to the heel itself. It can dress up a simple denim + shirt outfit, and it creates such sophistication if you wear it with a simple black dress. I mean, <strong>who wouldn't want a pair of red pumps with them, more so a Christian Louboutin red pumps? </strong>In one word? <em>perfection It's what </em>all ladies need in their closets.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Rachel Berry is your typical over achiever - she will always be second to no one. With that attitude, she does justice to her preppy/schoolgirl look, creating this image of - what she think is - stern yet fun (but in reality, very dorky).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/9500000/Rachel-s-Fashion-rachel-berry-9508037-600-287.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">She loves skirts, plaids, sweaters and knee-high socks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>My interpretation:</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WzG1IfbAh_w/TsE4ZPKmcBI/AAAAAAAAAoo/xMB-0Sm5obk/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" nda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WzG1IfbAh_w/TsE4ZPKmcBI/AAAAAAAAAoo/xMB-0Sm5obk/s400/3.jpg" width="267px" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q9v8uU0e29Q/TsE3dmkGIXI/AAAAAAAAAog/LfNVm0VQm8Y/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" nda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q9v8uU0e29Q/TsE3dmkGIXI/AAAAAAAAAog/LfNVm0VQm8Y/s400/2.jpg" width="230px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> If you want to go for the more preppy and formal Rachel Berry, then an outfit close to this would be great.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Better to let the skirt be the stand out so as to avoid major fashion faux-pax like Rachel does often.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If these outfits isn't Rachel Berry enough for you, remember that she's very quirky in terms of her style. She wears animal print sweaters, and by animal print I mean silhouttes of horses or deers and such. And she loves outerwear. May it be sweaters, vests or sweater vests, more often than not she's sporting them. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><br />
