Retro-esque Chic

Another quite simple solution to a dull or simple dress is adding a unique accent to it, like a belt, and maybe pulling a cardigan or blazer over it – voila! There’s chic for you.

I was trying to find a great belt that would make the dress more flattering and I ended up experimenting with this long (as in fits-my-waistline long) studded bowtie necklace. It was quite a lucky, stylish discovery!

Going for a whole conservative (‘cause the dress without any cover is quite revealing in the upper torso area and I had to meet my college professor in the university then) yet cool and still casual look (‘cause I was going out with friends after), I slipped on this vintage Benetton denim jacket.

Hunny “dressed up” that day, too, ‘cause we don’t see each other regularly like before and he wanted to be “gwapo” in one of our little day dates. That was the day I “pegged” that we were Lovechic-like. Hehe!

Hunny stylishly rides his purple Mio in this vintage helmet his dad (whom we concluded has the best tastes in accessories from shoes to sunnies) got from Amazon.

The geeky glasses are all his idea. He says he’s Effren – Clark “Effren” (his funny mocking joke for “a friend,” as Superman claims who he is when Lois asks) Kent.

Blogger Feature: Starstruck with LoveChic's Seph and Shai

Just yesterday, I bought Thomasian shirts with my Hunny in our dear alma mater's org fair. Little did I know that I was in for a great surprise as I stumbled into the blogosphere's cutest couple ever, LoveChic's Seph Cham and Shai Lagarde. Friday the 13th turned out to be lucky for me!

Mmmkayy. I admit. I was rilly, rilly starstruck. They're the first great bloggers that I follow regularly whom I've met (cause I haven't really had any chances of going to any of their events), and they were so, so nice and accommodating! Hunny was like, "Huuuh? Sino sila?" but he still lovingly took our photo. (Thanks, babe! Sorry I went a little crazy. Haha!) Of course, I didn’t bother to ask anymore (or it may have been the adrenaline high and incredible shyness after the surprise of seeing them), but my sister saw them doing a shoot in the University’s Benavides Park or more commonly known as the “lover’s lane.” Definitely watching out for that in their blog!

So cute, aren't they? Cookies and Cream couple shirts from Me&u

True to their namesake, their style is chic as can be! Pastels, pretty stripes and other plains and printsa and cool pieces especially when it comes to accessories are all the reasons for their trendiness.

Here's one of my favorite outfits of theirs. Their choice of bright playful colors and trendy pieces surely made them stand out in the last Bloggers United bazaar.

Homegrown Kapampangans, Shai and Seph even had a stint in a local Santacruzan where Shai played Veronica. Here's one of their most adorable shots spoofing Disney's Ariel and Prince Eric.

Lovechic is not limited to style and fashion blogging. They write personal and lifestyle posts as well.

They were also the only Filipino bloggers invited to the Hong Kong Fashion Week, as Seph said in his Etcetera feature.

What makes Seph and Shai unique is natural skills in complementing each other, like any other couple can, but instead of those usual things, they complement each other in fashion as well. They both have such "chic" styles individually (as also seen in http://lookbook.nu/sephcham and http://lookbook.nu/shailagarde), but it's when they're together that they look best.

The couple also gives advices (Dear Lovechic) and hosts lots of giveaways for their tons of loving readers who they treasure so much. That's why their fan base keeps on growing and growing!

It will be impossible for me convince Hunny to do fashion shoots with me on purpose, so I was glad to find one of our random self-timer portraits taken from the back of his parked motorcycle. I call it: Dream On, Ginyn: Pegging Lovechic with Hunny. Hehehe! Toodles!

More about this day in a later post. (:
