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.

Statement shorts are my current summer obsession. Just wear it over a simple tank top and you’re good to go! Not only that you’ll look super fresh and cool, you’ll also get to move around and have fun this season without sacrificing style!

This are my current faves, the ombre. (P.S. my hair and shades are pretty ombre too, haha!) It’s not exactly the newest trend, but I think it’s just too cool to be outdated.

Now to incorporate it to my personal style. I’ve always been a fan of black and white ensembles. It’s just that it’s too classy and really never goes out of style. But it’s summer so I had to insert just a pop of color. And these red ombre shorts just does the trick.

I’m super in love with this look, cause I think it’s classy, fun and just screams out SUMMER!

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.

I know it’s a bit over due to post a Coachella inspired look, but tumblr’s been mean to me lately that the “upload photo” button doesn’t work so I had to change my settings to HTML enabled instead, and I only figured out about it just now :/ meh

I’m always inspired by Coachella fashion, only the fashion, the stars and the party, not a big fan on the perfomances though cause I don’t know much of it, haha lame me, but I just love how everyone looks on the spot casual, fun, sexy and spontaneous! I guess I want to incorporate that in my look

Since it’s summer, it’s really hard to do the look you really like, ‘cause you need to be aware of the weather and of course your look needs to be very comfortable. So I decided to point out some tips on how to style the perfect Coachella inspired look:

1. Hair: Choose a sweet, loose, carefree hair. Braids, curls and waves are my favorite.

Here’s one of my favorite braid hairstyles.

Flower crowns are also a very cute trend!

2. Sunnies: mirror sunnies are the trend this year but you can wear any kick ass sunnies you have

3. Whole look: really depends on you, but for me, it must show skin, it’s fun, hippie and very spontaneous.
