sponsored post: season for dressing up

Right when September rolls in, there is always an excuse to dress up. With the commencement of Spring 2013 fashion week all over the world, the start of the school year and the corresponding homecoming activities, the beginning of awards shows like the Emmy’s and eventually to holiday parties until the end of the year, there is never a period in a year where fashion is most prominent and elegant.

When dressing up, it never hurts to dress to the nines especially when attending formal events. Designer dresses are great options to instantaneously create glamour while others choose to create their own statements with jewelry paired with simple dresses. For the young at heart, regardless if you’re in school or not, prom dresses become cool and quirky alternatives to creating a fashionable impression.

Always remember though that in this stylish season, the best accessory is a smile.

summer layers: sheer + prints

phew! finally got the chance to do a post. this has probably been the longest time i’ve been away and i apologize for that. i might not have a lot of dedicated readers like other blogs but i think i’m safe to say that a few do follow my posts. right? *wink*
aside from the lack of internet connection at home for almost 3 weeks now, i’ve also been very (as in super) busy with our wholesale apparel business. it’s an awesome job selling clothes to people and sorting out dresses, tops, skirts, shoes and bags, trying them out every once in a while and giving styling advice to those interested but do not quite know what to do with the item. oh i wish i can just work in a clothing store (or manage my own) and make a living out of it. i’ve got shallow, shallow ambitions huh? but dealing with fashion makes me happy. note to harry: find a great paying job so we can live off your salary…hahaha!
on another note, a very exciting one, remember how i’ve been saying i’ve been brewing up something big? it’s almost at its completion. here’s a sneak peek. hope you’re excited! ♥ ♥ ♥
