With pieces this easy to put on, you'll look effortless yet put together.Although I do admit having a CK watch and that clutch helps with the "expensive" aura. And less is definitely more with just a cocktail ring and pendant necklace.

As for the shoes, they are classic in shape and color but the thing that stands out for sure is the heel part itself. Hmmm gold.

Now, how to make this work for work? Just add a simple blazer. See my two basic black blazers that I am particularly fond of.

Pick something that adds sleekness to the look and doesn't compete with all the other elements. This is not the focal point of the outfit. You are. When everything works well together, one element just adds to the other and makes the look more complete.

Hope you had fun reading my thoughts.

So someone has asked you out huh? And you know for a fact that it's been a while since you dated or rather you don't really have that much experience under your belt. What is the norm? How do you act? What do you do so both of you enjoy yourselves?

This post was actually inspired by a friend :) who's going out on a date today, and it got me thinking what usually happens so you don't end up wanting to split the bill and run the f*** home?

Hey Hey Hey! Unsure of how to pull-off a sheer blouse at work? If you're at a conservative office environment, certain clothes are a no-no ( Flip-Flops, Sandals, Slingbacks, Clear shoes, Expadrilles ) and it can be a bit constricting with certain trends that you're only allowed to try at weekends/nightouts/dinners. So here I am with a look that is work appropriate and safe. Read the post after the jump!

Have you heard of the old wives tales from your superstitious mom or aunt of using toothpaste for pimples or that shaving makes your hair thicker/darker ? Which are really true and which are just myths? Well keep on reading to find out which is which.

There's no amount to how much I love this! Pixie Lott and Korean singers GD & TOP of BIGBANG.

Note: Trust me, this is from experience.

Now as some of you know, usually mascara can only be used for 4-6 months as it is a breeding ground for bacteria. Since mascaras have a liquid consistency and you use it on your eyes then put it back in the tube, certain kinds of bacteria may be thriving in there. And if you find it's kinda smelling a little funky, you better toss it. It's not worth the risk.

But if you find that you still have plenty of mascara , hasn't hit the mark of 6 months and isn't smelling like feet but is getting a little clumpy here's what to do to extend it for a few more uses before you buy a new tube.

What the heck should I wear?! You've heard it and you've said it a lot and I mean a LOT of times in your life. Now these words are usually uttered or on occasion screamed, whenever we're going to an event wherein we want to look nice and still stand out from the throng of body-con/bandage dresses and strapless numbers.

My College graduation is in a weeks time, this coming Friday actually, and I admit I already have a dress. It's nice, flowy and floral. It Offers a little cleavage and leg action without the word "slutty" clinging to the air when you wear it. But seeing as it's an extra-hot summer, and with the slew of whites, off-whites and florals, my dress doesn't exactly stand-out from the crowd not to mention the fabric of my dress is itchy and hot, given this unforgiving hot sun and extra-hot air is probably not the smartest choice to wear.

Good thing I chanced upon the Nuffnang X ZALORA contest, because I can have a chance to make my desires a reality. Here are my choices.

1. Plains & Prints - Mykonos Dress

Other than the fact that the material is light and breezy, the cut is demure.

The perfect silhouette for a school function.

I've always wanted to try the hi-low/mullet hem.

2. Sapato Manila - Vannie

I'm in love with the heel detail.

And wedges are comfy, especially since I'll be doing the mandatory

jump-in-the-air-while-throwing-your-toga-hat-to-the-sky.

3. COCO & TRES - Basil Clutch

The hint of color on the side gives it

a young vibe.

4. AXIS - Crystal Dream White Leather with Clear Stones

Nothing makes entering the "real world" more official

than an elegant, simple and very cool time piece.

5. Hullaballu - Square Studs

The perfect blue for the perfect day.

Even if the pieces I chose, in itself are very simple, together I think these would really make an impact marking my graduation a most memorable one. I mean, c'mon how often do you get to say to people that you won your whole outfit?
