#20Facts Challenge

I’ve been wanting to share this on my blog but just got the opportunity to do so by being nominated by my good friend Fianne for the #20FactsAboutMe challenge.

1. I go by the full name of Genevieve Anne Ebio Diocos

2. I have a lot of nicknames. Bib/ Gen/ Vieve/ Anne/ Biba/ Bebang/ Bebs/ Bibs/ Bangus and a lot more. (Haha! I can’t believe I mentioned the last one either.)

3. I graduated with a degree of BS in Business Administration major in Financial Accounting (March 2012). I presently work as a bank teller.

4. I fell in love with reading books through the magic of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

5. I collect Candy Magazines in my teen years. My letters to Editor Mia was published for 5 times, one was featured as “Letter We Love”.

6. Tricia Gosingtian, Shai Lagarde, Camille Co and Vern & Verniece Enciso are my fave bloggers who inspired me to make my own.

7. Hello Kitty is my cartoon hero. I still collect kitty items up to now.

8. The Eiffel Tower in Paris, Sanrio Puroland in Tokyo and Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando are my top 3 dream destinations.

9. I went cray cray over the Gossip Girl television series when I was in college. It went to the point when my Mom hides the DVD for me not to watch it on a school day.

10. FIC’s Choco Mint and Milk Tea are my fave ice cream flavors.

11. I enjoy cooking and baking. Our kitchen is where you can usually find me, besides the girl’s bedroom at home.

12. I have a pretty niece, Anika Sansa from my Kuya JC and a handsome nephew, Reigchael Gian from my Kuya Mikey.

13. McDonald’s cheeseburger is my comfort food. Even with a really bad day, it all subsides when I have a bite of it.

14. I can’t swim. Hence, I’m not a big fan of riding boats, going to beaches, and just the plain saltwater and sand.

15. I’m a DIY junkie. I enjoy doing arts and crafts just like my Mom and sister. Me and my sister even do scrap booking together when we were little.

16. I can stay up really late for the sake of watching Korean dramas.

17. Pastel colors, lace, florals and neutrals are the things you can mostly find in my wardrobe.

18. Eyelash perming, mani and pedi are the things that I do on a monthly basis to pamper myself.

19. I can sing to every Taylor Swift song. (With feelings. Hahaha!)

20. Blogging for me is therapeutic. This blog serves as an outlet for me, I love it even more when people tell me they read it. (Like, real people actually read it.)


And I now end this post by nominating Tazz, Kae and Ara to do the same.

That is all for this post. I hope you guys like it. Don't forget to hype my look here.

Summer Ender

Cover Up: Thrifted, Top: Koreana Shop, Shorts: Diversify by Pam, Bag: Mango and Shoes: Forever21

This post marks the last of my sunny adventures last summer hence the title, Summer Ender. I was a bit burnt out from the Calaguas trip the weekend before this outing but being someone who doesn’t want to miss out sharing moments with my colleagues outside the office, I still gave it a go. We went to the ever so famous Pasacao, the only beach stop I knew when I was little. We spent a night there and went on a boat ride in the morning to the Daruanak Island.

I have this thing when I always don’t get the memo on what my friends identically wear. So for the next summer I got myself a cover up that I forgot to bring for the Calaguas trip. So when I found out that we will have an office outing, I made sure to make use of it. I also have this floral corset swimwear top that matches this floral shorts of mine so I paired them with each other, added this neon pink cover up and I was good to go. I was also able to use my new addition to my love for flats and sandals that I got from Forever 21. 

That is all for this post. I hope you guys like it. Don't forget to hype my look here.


Toodles!


Much Love,

May Babies

May is the month where we celebrate the birthday of our Lolo Max and Lola Tita. Aside from the celebration with the family, it is also the time for me to take summer vacation seriously since busy season at work is now over, for now. And as I start my summer a month late, I've noticed that I have also abused my dry season wardrobe. One of those ensembles is this subtle neon pair.

Top: Betty by SM GTW, Shorts: Local Dept.Store and Shoes: Girl's Haven

What made me more excited about this post, is that I'll finally be able to share to you guys the cutest pair of flats I have to date, my Sadie flats from Girl's Haven. I can use them, both for dressing up and down. It gave this chic vibe for the whole ensemble.

Since it was a family get together, I wore something simple but not sacrificing the chic style, of course. The fact that it has this neon details made it extraordinary plus I'm wearing this cutesy pointy shoes. As for accessories, it was a really hot, sunny day that's why I just used my watch for less hassle moments.

A closer look of the Sadie flats from Girl's Haven.
Check out their instagram account here for more chic pairs. 

That is all for this post. I hope you guys like it. Don't forget to hype my look here.

Floral + Neon

Who knew floral and neon would actually work together? Well, who ever came up with this top of mine prolly knew he/she made a masterpiece. There's no surprise there though. In the crazy of world of fashion full of talented and creative designers, no doubt, anyone could come up with odd combinations and make it work.

I used to shy away from all things bright and odd that gives me weird stares. But as I grew to explore new things I decided that it doesn't matter what others think as long as I made it work for myself, I'll always give it a go.

Some people think keeping up with trends make them standout, but I actually believe that we keep up with trends in order to blend in. From the word "trend" itself, that means known and adopted by many. We could still standout even when trying trends through making it our own. Adding personal touches is what makes people standout. Believe me, in a world with billions of people on earth, there's no one and the same. Even identical twins have differences. Makes sense?

Before this post end up as a novel, let me share to you guys what I've worn last Sunday for a fiesta lunch/get together with my relatives. I know the festivities in Naga is now over but I can't help to feel all festive-y with this post with this ensemble.

If you follow me on twitter (@genbibanne) *Naks! Shameless plug*, I tweeted about Mom giving me this floral + neon top that I got excited. Could you blame me? Just look at it.

Top: Gift from Mom, Shorts: Tiangge, Shoes: Primadonna

I've worn it with neutrals such as a white high-waist pair of shorts and my nude open toe sandals from Primadonna. I kept it simple to give highlight to the top. When it comes to the accessories, I gave a hint of gold to keep things classy.

Bag: Dooney and Bourke, Watch: Studio, Belt: SM Kids Accessories
Ring: Jewel Mint (Gift from Cousin) Bangles (Not in photo): F2M

Necklace: LCC Dept. Store

I've been looking for this lion head pendant necklace since forever. And visiting LCC Mall last Friday made my hunt come to an end. What actually made me feel giddy about this new necklace of mine is that it costs about 1/3 of the price compared to the one's sold online. Yes. I'm not even kidding. So, it was kind of a blessing in disguise that the roads were closed that day. Hahah!

To top it all, I've used my fave DB sling leather bag that I've used several times in this blog for several outfit posts. I actually got this as a hand-me-down from my Mom.

On a writer's note, you don't have to keep up with trends in order to fit in or (to some) to stand out. Whether you're channeling into a 70's queen or even just the basics, as long as you know how to carry yourself then you're good to go. Be thankful for people who appreciates you, to those who don't well, it's their problem not yours. *wink*

That is all for this post. I hope you guys enjoyed it. What do you guys think? I wanna hear from you guys by leaving comment(s) below. Also, don't forget to hype my look here.


Toodles!
