Dear znar,

Since you’ve been reading my blog, I bet you have already thought of a swimwear for the outing. I won’t be talking about the swimwear anymore and let’s move on with the beach accessories instead.

Even though you’re planning to wear a plain back swimwear (for example), you can still look fashionable with Beach Hats. Yun nga lang, I checked that most beach hats even cost the same as a typical swimwear. There are stores that sell such accessories like Girl Shoppe and Accesorize. Price ranges from 350-700 pesos. A white fedora hat can be an alternative.

Don’t forget to bring summer sundresses that you can wear over your bikini or swimsuit. Since you’re on the beach, kahit morena ka, any color is okay. The brighter, the better.

Another option is wearing Coverups.

Aside from your travel bag, carry your things using a summer tote. Something you can bring while you’re on the beach.

Lastly, don’t forget your two-toned wayfarers or classic aviator shades!

You don’t have to buy an expensive swimwear just to be fashionable. You should also prepare your accessories such as mentioned above. I know, going to the beach is about swimming and enjoying the water. But I believe it won’t hurt if you try dressing up a little. ;)

Enjoy the trip!

Love Lots,

Hollywood Fashion

Hi Ms. Leyn,

I’ll be attending a debut on May (it’ll be my first time) and I’m one of the “18 treasures”. The theme is Hollywood Fashion. But the problem is I’m not into fashion and all that dressing up stuff. I’m just the type of person who’s used to wearing T-shirts and jeans. I’m 23 years old, 5′2” in height, thin (and flat-chested). Can you please help me decide what type of clothes/dress to wear and the accessories and shoes that go with it?

Your advice/suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thank you!

Dear plain girL,

First, I’m advising you to check out Instyle.com for the latest Hollywood Fashion and Celebrity Styles. You can get inspiration from that website. :)

Well, 5’2height and  skinny built won’t have much problem in choosing the right gown. Since you’re part of the program, it’s valid that you’ll be in a fab frock. Actually, I’ve been suggesting these styles from the past emails I’ve answered. And as a recap, here are your options:

Long gowns with simple embellishments are popular with Hollywood stars. You can pair an evening Maxi Dress with a pair of Light-colored Open High Heels to add up height.

Another fashion you can consider is a Cocktail Dress. As much as possible, choose a dress with minimal print or design. Same as long gowns, light colored heels are perfect for mini dresses.

You can look glamorous in a simple gown with an Updo Hairstyle and Simplest Accessories. (Like thin chain necklace, small pearl earrings or a dress watch is enough.) Sport a red carpet fashion with an eye-catching Purse like Hollywood celebrities do.

Don’t feel plain and timid, events like this don’t happen often so you should be in your best look.

Good luck!

Love Lots,

Leyn

Monokini for Pear Shaped Body

elo po ms. sosyalera.net

hinge lang po sana ako ng konting opinion. makiki-fiesta kame sa Manaog this coming april 1st, then mag be-beach kame ng family ko with my girlfriend.

ask ko lang kung bagay yung body shape between pear shape and hour glass sa monokini?? also she has a small bust. ang sabe nya sa sm north daw nakakita sya. then ito yung mga store na nabanggit nya. Sassa Activewear, Tomato and Cinderella. (good thing i googled it and visited your site :D ). this coming sunday namin balak bumile.

ty po.

Oh hello there anonymous,

Are you sure that’d be on April 1st? Hehe. Anyway, if you still need an advice, here it goes.

I’ve posted that Hour Glass Body type can wear Monokinis because they have a proportioned figure. But if your girlfriend obviously has fuller bottom then I don’t recommend the monokini style. Kasi the monokini can just emphasize her hips and bottom half especially that she has small bust line (like illustrated below). It’s just like the monokini will be formed into a triangle shape. As I’ve posted before, halter tops with underwire are more fitting for girls with small chest.

Again, I’m unsure about her actual built so it’s better if she’ll try fitting the monokini first. Kung Hour Glass type talaga ang body type ni girlfriend, monokinis are okay then you can just cheat the bust line with paddings. Hehe.

Nice to know you’re helping your girlfriend with this. Have a nice vacation!

Love Lots,

Leyn

Church Formal Event

Hello Sosyalera!

Medyo related ang question ko dun sa latest post about church clothing. Kaso ang sakin kasi, meron kaming formal event (parang prom) pero church-related so siyempre, medyo conservative type ang clothing. May nakita na akong dress kaso tube dress siya. (I attached a picture btw) I was hoping you can help me kung pano ko maibabagay sa event yung damit ko. :) I’m thinking of either putting short sleeves, or boleros or something like that. Isa pa ring concern ko ay yung weather. Autumn na kasi dito so usually around 22-26 degrees C ang weather.

Thanks in advance! :)

Love,
Siopao

Dear Siopao,

Thanks for attaching a picture. Well the moment I saw the dress, the style that came into my mind is a Shrug-Dress-Leggings outfit. I didn’t include your dress here but you come up with something like this:

Look for a Shrug/Bolero with ruffles, details or fur to give life to your plain white dress. You won’t look overdressed as long as you maintain the solid black & white color as your base clothing.

Instead of wearing plain black leggings, look for laced ones that still complement black shoes.

Classic black pumps are the best pair you can wear that can set off with the entire outfit. It’s all right to wear black flats but high heels look more sophisticated and stylish.

Para sa aming nandito sa Pinas, 22-26 degrees is cold already (haha) so I’m not sure if you mean the same thing. I believe the style above is wearable for Autumn season. I hope my brief idea’s not late for the event.
Good luck dear.

Love Lots,

Leyn

Photographer Fashion

Hi Leyn,

I’ve been an avid reader of your blog since Jologs Socialite, and I can see that you have your own SLR too. Which goes my question, how do you manage to stay fashionable while carrying your SLR with you? Like do you put it in your bag or bring it as it is? It feels so bulky whenever I go out because aside from my handbag, buhat ko rin bag ng cam. Or I use a big bag and put the cam in, which is bad I think, kase aalog alog. I need some tips, because I’m attending a grand family reunion next month and I still wanna look fashionable hindi yung mukhang photographer ka lang. As far as I know, no theme for the reunion.

I hope you can help me with this. Kung pwede isama mo na rin ang pwede kong isuot.

Isabel

Dear Isabel,

Hi! I only know a few people who are aware of my previous blog so thank you so much. Anyway, regarding your question, honestly I don’t have a decent camera bag and I’m just using the free black bag from Canon. It’s because I prefer disassembling my SLR when travelling and just put it inside my travel bag. If not necessary, I don’t carry it as is kasi parang ang show-off diba. Haha.

First, wag mo akong tularan and save your money to buy a fashionable bag. Like the ones from Crumpler. From what I know, they sell colorful camera bags and price ranges from 2500 up to 10000 pesos. Quite expensive.

Personally speaking, I don’t want to carry a camera bag especially when I’m in public places. So what I do is enclose my camera with bubble wraps and bring it using a large bag. On regular days, you can use a cushioned Tote Bag if carrying a SLR bag hassles you.

But if you’re not particular with the bag then just don’t overdress on the reunion. When the setting is quite formal or it’s an evening dinner, you can wear Jumpsuits to move freely. You can choose from either long jumpsuits (semi-formal) or short playsuits for casual events.

Complete your outfit with Flats or Mid-Heels sandals. Taking pictures may require a lot of walking and roaming around so wear comfortable shoes as much as possible. Avoid the laid-back rubber slippers.

No worries dear. Happy reunion!

Love Lots,

Leyn
