ROGUE LOOKS

(ROMWE leather jacket, geek shirt, studded snapback and studded buckle boots; Hype this on lookbook here.)

Wearing my new favorite leather jacket from ROMWE. It would make any outfit instantly rock chic. And nothing says rock more than leather and studs - also present in my new boots.

It’s my first time to try ROMWE footwear and I find it very durable and comfortable to wear.

I’m also wearing this cool logo tee and my favorite studded snapback from ROMWE

During my teenage years, I rarely wear blazers or coats. I use to hate them. And being in a tropical country, it just wasn’t a staple thing to have.

But now that I’m already 20, I started to experiment more with my style. I wanted to be chic, classy and more creative. And seeing that my fashion icon Olivia Palermo sporting tons of blazers and coats, I just couldn’t say no. I had to try it.

In this look, I’m wearing a beige tweed blazer, a peplum top, pearl necklace, metallic pants and leopard boots. I know that it may seem too covered or overly styled, but for me, I think this whole look works!

It’s perfect during the day, if you’re going to work, or for a special meeting, then you can loose the blazer if you’re going out for the night. I think this look will definitely be an option if I were to go to Paris or Rome.

Girls of this generation all have something in common. We all like to dress up. We experiment with different pieces and we style it base on how we feel, the occasion and of course based on our personality.

But we girls sometimes forget the importance of accessories. For today’s look I wore a casual top over a skater skirt. These pieces are very simple on its own, but with the right accessories, it could turn from simple to fab!

When you want to look glam, gold accessories are a must. They’re versatile, classy and sparkly. If our look was an ice cream, the gold accessories would be the cherry on top of it.

Just look at how the gold necklace, bracelet and the metallic heels made these casual pieces stand out. Now your casual clothes isn’t just for a lazy day, now it can be for the weekend!

So next time, make sure to choose the right accessories that will make the outfit look more fab than it really is.

I love the 90s and every memory of it. Well because of the fashion trends and the fact that I’m a 90s baby.

So, I couldn’t be any happier by the 90s fashion comeback. From denim to leather, midriff, maxis, plaid and my ultimate fave - the overalls, all this trend are coming back with a revenge.

What also trended during the 90s is the grunge - which is totally my style. A totally comfy look with that rockstar vibe.

Today’s look is inspired from the 90s. Featuring the crop top, leather jacket and high-waist shorts.

If I were to style a look on a budget, I would probably choose this style. Everything I’m wearing for this look is either from a thrift shop or from a bargain shop.

Crop tops, midriffs, bustiers, they’re sexy as hell. And with girls like me that’s skinny, midriffs are really flattering. They can look classy, sweet, edgy and playful. A very versatile piece indeed.

Crop tops may be a little intimidating at first. So if you’re going to wear one, a high-waist shorts is just the perfect choice. It cuts your tummy making your midriff even more curvier. Plus it shows off an illusion of longer legs.

The top and shorts are a a little bit revealing, so I toned down the look with a rockin’ leather jacket, making the look more 90s, raw and edgy.

And since I’m lovin the 90s, I’ll make sure to wear the other trends of the 90s on my next look. Til then! - Ruth

Been obsessed with skirts lately, and here are just some of the looks I styled that’s perfect for every occasion!

Skater skirts are casual and comfortable, they’re light, flirty, sweet and are amazingly cheap! I believe girls can’t have too many skater skirts. They’re so basic and functional, it’s really easy to mix and match.

This look is very classic, very Hollywood glam. Black and white ensemble paired with bold red lips. I always love the classic look (that all reminds us of Audrey Hep) and obviously, the blanc et noir combination.

If the first look is more on the classy side, this look is more edgy and rugged. People might think this look is too much effort to wear but actually it’s the cutest laziest style ever. Cause you really can’t go wrong with sneaker wedges. It adds height, it doesn’t give you pain the heels does plus it can complement so many style you can ever imagine!

Got this skater skirt on sale for only 250 pesos but its quality is too high for it’s worth. I bought it from a trunk sale at Daang Hari and if I get to visit them again, I’ll definitely buy another one in a different color.

I use to be so afraid to wear colors but I think now, I’m more experimental. I’m just living my life to the fullest. Trying out every trend there is while finding my true style along the way.

I’m actually at a time right now where I just want to be alon and just re-evaluate my individuality. My style, my purpose, my dream, just everything.

I’ve actually been though so many challenges lately. Things that really took toll in my confidence and faith. But I think these boulders just made me even more stronger, smarter, and maybe even prettier. Don’t you think? Or it’s just that I’m better at putting my makeup? haha

Anyway I’ll be updating my makeup routine soon and it will be a great treat to Korean fans out there ‘cause I’ll be creating an all Etude House products’ makeup tutorial!

I’m super excited to do more makeup reviews/tutorials for you and also for me, so I can practice even more. So if you have any suggestions on what looks I should try just leave me a comment!

This is what I wore to MEG Magazine’s 15 anniversary party that took place last June 25 at Republiq Super Club, Resorts World Manila.

I was invited because I was included in I AM MEG (a reality show ala ANTM with Michael Carandang as MEGA TV head who actually worked with Tyra for ANTM before.) season 2 Top 30. Unfortunately I didn’t make it to the top 16, but yeah, that’s life, better luck next time!

Well I was actually very happy because the last time I auditioned for I AM MEG season 1, I only got it to the top 100. So that was a HUUUGE improvement.

The theme was military glam. So the basic things I looked for is leather, the shoulder pads and of course, the studs.

How about you? What would you wear to a military glam themed party? Comment below!

Oh and would you believe? My snake necklace and ring is both from Divisoria!

And I did my own make-up and hair for this event. If you want to see my makeup routine, I recently made a blog post about it here.

Another current fave of mine is the high-waist studded and frayed shorts. I’ve always been a fan of embellishments like studs, sequins, metallics and glitter. There’s just something about embellishments that makes me feel like I’m a rockstar.

I toned down the sexiness of the shorts by wearing a conservative top. And paired my rockin shorts with rockin studded booties.

This look is very my style. Casual chic, laidback, but still very classy. All you need to make an outfit look classy is my go to accent, gold accessories.

But this look would still work but look more casual without the gold accessories.

(Currently in love with shorts! And almost all the shorts I’m lovin’ right now is from FabZab. Visit their online shop here.

This is just one of those “I’m too cool to care” looks. Inspired by model off-duty fashion along the streets of New York. Soon, I will create more looks to show you how in and versatile denim overalls are.

This look is clearly inspired by Korean fashion as you can see by the hair bun, geeky glasses and the clean sweet dewy makeup. If you have followed me since my first looks, this was my usual go-too looks that time. And I’m missing styling myself like this!

Nowadays, I define my style as classy, sophisticated, trendy, mature and even hipster! But it’s good once in a while to change my style. It all depends in my mood and what clothing I have on my hand really.

Just some close up photos so you can see my hair and makeup. I think this is the laziest I can be when it comes to makeup. Just bb cream, cat eye liner, lip balm and filled eyebrows. If I were to use just one product I’d use an eyebrow kit!
