If you're interested in beauty, fashion and art, you'll know that this year's Pantone colour(s) are Serenity (A light periwinkle blue) and Rose Quartz (A muted carnation).

Following my first dress pick (here) for Valentines' in collaboration with dress.ph I chose the most sought after dress colour of the year. Surprisingly the fashion world (as far as retail) hasn't churned out a tonne of Rose Quartz inspired garbs. Which is a shame since quite a few people are actually looking for it, even going to the tailor to have one custom made for that specific colour.

I admit it's really pretty. The two colours are very spring-summer appropriate, especially this one.


This particular dress is (in my opinion) sexy. In contrast to the "sweet" and "calm" pink hue, the cut, style and embellishment with the zipper takes off some of the saccharine appeal that the shade naturally emulates.

Cocktails and (dinner) date appropriate this can also be transformed for more meeting-appropriate scenarios by using maybe a white fitted turtleneck, black tights and black mary-janes. Not everyone's cup of tea but I know some can pull it off.

The price is the most surprising because it's PHP 5867 but currently on sale for PHP 628. That's a pretty big discount don't' you think? Comes in S M and L. Another good news, payment is secured by Paypal and everything on the site is returnable within 30 days.

What do you think of the dress? Definitely for a fancier date but even if you're going to the movies or whatever it's okay if you dress up! It's your body. It's your date. As long as you have fun and you feel good :)

Oh yes Valentine's Day. Where flowers are more expensive than usual and there are tonnes of chocolate and bear promotional items everywhere. Perfect excuse to date your loved one whether they're your lover, parents, siblings or friends. Or, better yet, go out and have fun with yourself by yourself. It's ALL GOOD! (If it's a Tinder date, that's cool too. No hate here.)

I teamed up with dress.ph to give you two dress picks if you're looking to wearing a dress for this heavily marketed "holiday" (can you see my eyes roll? I don't really buy into this special day tbh, but to each their own).

First up is a (LWD) Little White Dress number when you just don't feel like being your normal black-clad self for this cherubic day.

It's a very versatile cut and style I think. The halter style drawstring neckline  and the length is a little more fun and casual than the usual floor-length or mid-length number. With the right accessories this can go from casual to formal easily.


Throw on a black tailored blazer and black closed pumps or stilettos and voila. The black lace trim at the front give it a little more texture and break-up all the white. And add a little "something-something" to the dress, you know what I mean right? The key-hole back detail is pretty and sexy as well.

Available in S M L XL. Originally priced at Php 3989, on sale for Php 609. Subscribing to dress.ph also allows you to get coupon codes to further reduce your total. With secure payments via PayPal and express shipping, payment and delivery is assured by the company within 3-5 days.

Purchase your first dress this February while they're on sale!

I haven't had a lot of friends married off and haven't really had a chance to become a "bridesmaid" but I feel like I'm steadily going there (ala 27 Dresses). Contrary to the popular saying (this posts' title) I don't feel one ounce of bitterness when I say that. I'm excited to be a bridesmaid actually.

As with the short dresses, these long dress options are also flowy, a-line and look ethereal.


I'm thinking a late afternoon garden wedding or beach wedding. Wait. Why am I thinking location?

These aren't really something I'd personally wear for my or anybody else's wedding but I think they're fun options for really fun snazzy events where cocktail dresses are appropriate.
