Helgaholic: The Quirky One (Repost from TMS)

One of Manila’s "hippest" lifestyle bloggers today is Ms. Helga Weber of helgaholic.com and ditz-revolution.net.

Aside from feature beauty articles, her true-to-self and frank statements on various issues that fancy her way, her passion for ink (tattoos, that is) and hair dying, her devotion to her cat and photography, she paints her blogs with fashion posts that show her creative side. Her followers just love all her pretty quirks.

Helga's latest do. Aquamarine with hints of pink and blue at the ends.

Edgy as he is, she also sported a half-shaved head for some time.

It all started here. (Well, not rilly here, but this is how simple her hair dyeing business started.)

Unlike others who rely on brands to be fashion-forward, she’s one of the bloggers that’s very appealing to the “masa” (relatable to the public) of Manila, as one proud-of-it thrift store shopper aside from being patrons of the truly worth-her-money brands.

She pairs certain pieces for casual wear...

But she can easily glam them up too.

Combining thrifted bargains with branded finds is one of Helga's fortes.

Helga shows that even the average girl can be highly fashionable if she just has the keen eye on using her resources well.

Three Topmost: Print-on-print Edition (Repost from TMS)

Oh, I so missed blogging! I've been too busy accomplishing work requirements and adjusting to "semi-independent" life. Well, here goes some lazy reposts. Hope you guys enjoy them like my previous ones! :D

This time, we take a look on one of the hottest trends in fashion today: print-on-print. Fashion has surely 360-ed from the formerly oh-so-conventionally minimalist with this one as pairing a couple of printed pieces becomes all the rage. Of course, who does it better than our three favorite bloggers, Camille Co, Kryz Uy and Laureen Uy.

With this look, Camille dazzles with actually two trends: floral designs and print-on-print. How the outfit comes together is a matter of choosing the dominant print colors.

Here, she went for the very feminine pink and powder blue with the third printed piece, the adorable wedges. Very doll-like, isn’t she?

Kryz here went for the classic animal and geometrical prints. One rule of thumb in playing with prints is mixing shape-oriented with linear.

The studded cuffs and peep toes go blended well together with the outfit.

Fad Salad’s favorite for this style is Laureen in her peach and black combo.

Another tip for the print-on-print trend is mixing and matching light and dark-colored pieces.

Since prints are such bold elements already, sticking with two basic color palettes and maybe little highlights with classic colors like gold (as shown in both Camille and Laureen’s looks) would make the look more fashion-fused.
