Pitch-y

Top and Skirt: Bazaar, Belt: SM Dept.Store & Shoes: Primadonna

I have picked up my pace now and back to my usual whereabouts. The past few weeks have been very busy for our family since my eldest brother just got married. We actually just got back from Baguio this week. And now, I am so back on doing my backlogs.

And when I mean backlogs, I'm talking about major backlogs. This one was from December 2013. Wore this to work when my polo shirt wasn't ready yet.

I was actually going to name this Peach-y for the color scheme I used for the ensemble but just to make things interesting I've changed it to Pitch-y, a slang term used by music experts. Everyone who knows me would prolly laugh with me for using this term. You see, it actually would be the best description for my singing voice. LOL

Enough about that, let us now move on to the outfit. Don't you guys love my asymmetrical peplum skirt? I have this one for a while now. As in, it was sitting for 6 months in my closet and was finally able to use it just last month. I bought this one from Vern & Verniece's booth at BU5. The thing I love about it is the unique peplum detail. About the top, well I have been looking for a long sleeve top with this powerful shoulder detail and finally found one.

Also, was finally able to use this gorge coral peach jeweled necklace I bought from divi. I soo love how each jewel has these golden metal tassels. Then, my nude open toe flats came to the rescue, to save my feet for a long day at work. 

That is all for this post. I'm making this one short because I don't have that much pictures to show every detail of the outfit. (I know. I should have known better.) I do hope you still enjoyed it though. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO JOIN MY GIVEAWAY: HERE. You can join until January 22, 2014. The winner for my giveaway will be announced on the 25th of January. Be sure to join this one! 

Also, you can hype my look here.

Ripe Lemons

Dress: Forever 21, Vest: Tiangge, Bag: Mango and Shoes: Vans

The world really have changed. Remember how I told you guys for my love for backless ensembles? Well, here's another evidence that I'm falling out of love. My lace dress was set for the 1st day of the year until our family reunion required a color code for each family.  We decided to go with the denim-yellow fusion. And here's what I was able to come up with.

I don't know if I've already shared it here but I went to a weekend out of town trip again to Mnl last November. And you know what happens next. If you answered cray cray shopping then you're sooo right. I was right on time again because when I visited Forever 21-megamall. They were on sale. And not just an ordinary sale but a "Buy One, Get One for Free" promo. Yes. The fashion Gods have granted me a favor. This dress was one of the things I've got for myself. Check out the cool cut-out on the front. Also got it because I don't have that much yellow in my wardrobe and since I started working I've been investing a few pieces for each color of the rainbow. (I'm not even kidding with this.)

Who wouldn't have heard of the quote "When life gives you lemons make lemonade." by Dale Carnegie. I have actually lived with this for a while now. It works every time, haven't failed me yet. Living in a complicated world where things does not always go your way, you should know by now how to make it work not only for yourself but also for the betterment of all. Before this post end up not as an outfit post, let me give dibs on what I wore to New Year's day.

As I've mentioned above, we went for the yellow-denim fusion. I knew I would have difficulties with this kind of cut-out (exposing my tummy) so I thought of something that would cover it up a little but still looks rock on. Then, I remembered I have this awesome denim vest. Felt like a rock star that I opted for a cool pair of sneakers instead of the usual ballet flats or pair of heels. Then, for the accessories I wore my acrylic bead set just to blend it in with the rest.

Also used my now fave bag that I got from Ate Monica, who is now officially Mrs. Jc Diocos. Yes. I've gained a sister over the weekend and loved every single moment (okay.except one thing. *wink) of the wedding which I will be blogging about next week, as soon as the pictures from the official photographer are done.

Before I end this post, I will be sharing a few pictures from the family reunion that we had  last January 1st.

It is always a fun-filled day whenever I spend time with my family. They always bring out the best in me no matter how hard the situation is, as to my case, ripe lemons. In dealing with them, you have no choice but to make lemonade out of it or else it will rotten that you won't be able to do a thing but to throw it away, that it becomes a waste.

That is all for this post. I hope you enjoyed it. DO NOT FORGET TO JOIN MY GIVEAWAY: HERE. You can join until January 22, 2014. The winner for my giveaway will be announced on the 25th of January. Be sure to join this one!

100th: Looking back at 2013 + Blog giveaway

Hi! I'm Genevieve Anne Ebio Diocos and this officially marks my hundredth blog post. *insert teary eyed happy face here

This feels awesome. I am very excited for another year of sharing to you guys anything under the sun. But before we skip to that let me share to you guys my Top 10 favorite looks from last year. 

No. 10: Potterhead ϟ

Year 2013 wouldn't be complete without sporting the skater skirt trend. You can get them now in every color may it be pastel or neon. I suggest you keep one or two in a bright one. It will be useful this coming summer.

No. 9: Rainbow of Possibilites

Another trend that boomed this year is the corset dresses. One of the inner wear is the new outer wear trend. I love how the print of it makes it unique from the rest. Paired it with my crochet vest making it look put together.

No.8 Checkmate

Who wouldn't forget this look of mine from Bloggers United 5? Well, if you have that's okay. Here it is again. This is included in my Top 10 since I've got a lot of beautiful memories on this day. Was reunited with my college friends and got to meet my fave bloggers, even the new ones. Looking forward to Bloggers United 7, missed the sixth installment. Huhuhu. Lovely (my BU buddy) is soo ready for June.

No. 7: Bright Side

The only look who got in Top 10 in jeans. I just really love this top. It's in pink, in a floral print and with peplum cut. All my favorite things combined. Who wouldn't love that? Also, it's the debut of my cutesy wedges from CLN so it's pretty special.

No. 6: Writer's Note

See how I just love peplum tops? Here's another one in a romantic lace material in white. Matched it with gold for it to look classy for a very special day of my good friend Fianne. It was raining that day, a smart move to use a pretty high pair of wedges.

No. 5: Peek-a-Boo

One of my latest looks. What I wore to the karaoke party with my Diamond Fam. This is now my go-to bag for errands. Believe me, even my ginormous umbrelly fits right in. Plus, look at those adorable vans sneakers in a Hello Kitty print.

No. 4: All Pink

Pretty in pink peg for my lil bro's first ever modeling stint. Went crazy with prints since we went out of town for it. I take advantage when dressing up whenever I'm in a place where not all recognizes me. That's what I realized when I dressed down when I was in Hong Kong two summers ago. I looked like a tourist who brought her "pang-bahay" clothes. Hahahah

No. 2: A Place in this World

One of my fave ensembles I pulled off for work. I feel pretty cool wearing this one. What made me love it more is the magic that I was able to put this all together for just 10 minutes. Hashtag: Perks of Having Unused Clothes, Sitting in your Closet for Months.

No. 2: Ri-crochet

The debut of my crochet vest. Used it for a get together with the Ebio Family on a Mother's day. I planned this outfit not knowing when to use but definitely for a summer outing. I love how the color of the shorts is very calming to the eyes.

No. 1: Playing with Textures

Despite the messy hair and all. This would still be my fave look of the year. It's pretty special since this was taken during my birthday. After a long day at work, I went to school to peek on how my lil bro's prom is going. And I was surprised by greetings from a lot of people that day.

But before I end this post, I am very happy and proud to share to you guys that my page views tripled from last year. And because of that I want to throw a giveaway! Yes. Just that simple. This post is pretty special since it's my 100th, (sorry guys for repeating it tons of times already. I can't get over) I will be giving away what I call a Blogger Guide Kit. I know I am not an expert but I have a kit of my own that helped me a lot this year. This Blogger Kit includes a Tricia Gosingtian Style Book, a Candy Guide Style: Global Street Style Edition, one floral headphones and one floral crown.

The Tricia Gosingtian Style Book is a compilation of must-haves in our closets and how to use them. Plus, you guys would get to know The Tricia Gosingtian, lookbook superstar, professional photog, and celebrity blogger. I must say, she's the very first blogger I've followed even before my idol Camille Co. This is a-must for bloggers to help and guide us for styling.

The Candy Guide Style: Global Street Style Edition is a compilation of some of the style bloggers all over the world. Yes. A very awesome bunch showcasing different trends and styles.

Ahhh. The very cute floral headphones, why are they included in my kit? Well, I have one from Anagon and I use it every time I blog. You see. Listening to music helps me to express more and sometimes get to have ideas for titles (Just don't forget to give proper credit) And since I appreciate everyone who visits my blog, I made them myself with love.

As for the floral crown, well, I find them so darn cute. This will be useful for garden themed ensembles and since you guys are pretty special to me, I also made them with love.

So that's what I will be giving away; A Blogger Guide Kit. One blog reader of mine will get it as a prize. As for the mechanics, just follow the simple steps below.

Rainbow of Possibilities

I wasn't sure of what to share tonight until I've read my horoscope for the day. Yes. I read these stuff but not a total believer. I just get so amaze how these things coincide with what is really happening.

Anyway, in less than an hour, 2013 is about to end. Sooo many things have happened this year. A fair share of ups and downs. If there is one word that would sum up this year it would prolly be the word, moved. I have moved out, moved in and moved on. And this is where the rainbow of possibilities came in to the picture.

I have been stressed out with a lot of things but just by being surrounded with my loving family, supportive friends, caring colleagues and even strangers who became new friends in between, made it all bearable and I'm very thankful to God for all of them. I have always been a fan of seeing the rainbow after the rain. But this year taught me that this rainbow is not just an ordinary one, but an array of all the possible things that may happen after a heavy or a not-so heavy rain. I don't need to elaborate that, you guys prolly know what I mean. 

Anyway, let me have a huling hirit for 2013 by sharing to you guys what I wore to my lil brother's family day. Yes. Another dramatic transition to an outfit post. (I feel awesome every time I get away with it. Hihi)

I wore this printed corset dress and paired it with my crochet vest. A little glitter and gold won't hurt, so I used my glittered sandals from Forever 21 and the gold lion head pendant necklace to accessorize it. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate my lil brother, for topping their class for the Second Grading Period. So proud of him!

I am keeping this post short since everyone is pretty busy and crazy right now for the Media Noche (I google the spelling).

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year!

Peek-a-Boo

I have always loved cut-outs and silhouettes  with peek-a-boos at the back. ( I'm a sucker for backless ensembles.) But when I have encountered this crop top, the world have suddenly changed. I fell in love with it that I've bought two more colors. I knew it would be perfect for a night out. A subtle exposure of flesh wouldn't hurt. Besides, the long sleeves balances out the lack of fabric of it.

I was supposed to wear this on our office party but I placed my order a bit later than I've expected. But since, there's still a room for a few parties, I reserved it just in case. And I was right when my high school classmates decided to go for a dinner-night out. I knew the top would be perfect. I wasn't sure of what bottom to use though until I've already decided to go with my kitty sneaks.

Top: Ripples by Jenny, Skirt: SM GTW,
Bag: Wbnine Trading and Shoes: Vans x Hello Kitty

Going out with this gang is always a bundle of joy. It's good that this year we already have our reservation. We don't want to end up just like last year when we walked the night away. This year we decided to go to Music box. I was able to showcase the inner concert queen in me. I seriously apologize every time I finish a song. Thank God, for cool friends like them. I haven't heard a single complain. Love you guys!

I came up with this ensemble on a last minute. I was trying out all sort of stuff. Like pairing the top with a high waist denim shorts, a midi skirt then I finally decided to use of my kitty sneaks, I thought of using this skirt of mine. Bought this one months ago from SM Dept. Store under SM GTW brand, Betty, but wasn't able to use it yet. It looked totally awesome with the sneaks on. (I hope so)

Added the 2D bag for a cute factor that goes with my kitty sneaks. Everyone loved it. Got it from Wbnine Trading. I wanted a 2D bag even they boomed with the local bloggers. I saw one sneak peek episode of Kris TV, the one featuring bazaar and online sellers. One of the featured store was Wbnine Trading, for their Philippine made 2D bags. I've got a hold of them on instagram and viola! my Christmas gift bag for myself. What made me extra happy is getting it at a very affordable price and the actual item looks as good as it looks in the picture. Talk about good find!

As for my top, I got them from Ripples by Jenny. Another online shop I found in instagram. They sell trendy items with very affordable price. Almost the same price when you buy it for wholesale in divisoria. Every sassy item has an array of colors to choose from. I got my top in three colors so be ready for the rest of it to be also featured here.

And as I sing the night away, my friends was able to capture epic moments and I wanted to share it to you guys through pictures. (Yes. a lot of them)

Look at that dedicated self there. Lol

With my best guy friend, Darel. He was the photographer for the night.

Power Ranger (Red) Orange

The most intriguing blog title yet. Hahaha. So we decided to have another themed office party, and we chose to have the colors of the rainbow. We were Disney Princesses last year, but since we already have a guy in the office we chose something appropriate for everyone. So it's colors of the rainbow turned power rangers. Hahahaha. Actually, it's only me who turned it to power rangers. The only show me and my brothers agree on watching when we were still kids.

Back to the party, obviously I was Power Ranger Orange. I wasn't jumping for joy when I got the color since I only have very few orange in my wardrobe. By November, I already have my peg. I was already in search for the perfect crop top and midi skirt.

And this is what I've came up with.

Top and Skirt: Tiangge, Necklace: Mom's,
Belt: SM Kid's Accessories, and Shoes: Primadonna

Seeing how plain midi skirts are despite the bright color, I opted for a printed top, a baroque one. I wore this to the office thus the conservative vibe of the ensemble. Don't worry I have flats with me so I really didn't wore this heels the whole day. I sparkled it all up with the glittered heels, metallic belt and jeweled neck piece.

A closer look to which I owe my added height and sparkliness

A party would never be complete without group pictures with my PTC Family. I am very thankful for having them with me as they aren't just my colleagues but also my family. I love you guys! Cheers to more years of success for our team!

All pictures are taken from Julie's phone except these last two. I had a picture with our friendly neighbor. Hahaha. My LMF Tazz also had a party that same day so we just had to have a picture together.

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

Merry Christmas everyone!

Blog giveaway will be posted before the year ends. *wink

All Pink

Yes. The old kikay Bib is back. Noticed I’ve been posting girly girl outfit posts lately which I missed a lot. Been trying to experiment with other styles that would fit me and since, I recently bought a pair of sneakers I try to dress as casual as possible. I was actually planning to wear just jeans and sneaks for our get together with my high school classmates but still depends since I’m still waiting for a pair of heels to arrive before our party. (Drafted this a few days ago, got my new pair of heels today. Teehee)

Back to the sole purpose of this post, I am going to share with you guys what I wore to my brother’s first ever modeling stint. We went all the way to Legaspi for this one so I have to look extra cool. Hahhha. I don’t want to be mistaken as a P.A. so I wore something I’d be able to last the whole day but still looks put together.

Top: GH Tiangge, Skirt: Thrifted,
Belt, Flats and Accessories: SM Dept. Store

If you have read my blog since then, you’ll notice that I’ve already used this top. Yes. It’s my printed peplum top, only I didn’t used it as a peplum top this time. I’ve tucked it in for a change and paired it with this pleated printed skirt. Mom raised her eyebrows and asked me if I was sure to pair the printed top with a printed bottom. I proudly said “Of course Mom, it’s called print on print.” (Hi Mom! Love you.) She’d prolly just laugh this one out after reading it.

And as if I haven’t got enough with an all pink top and bottom, I still used this old rose colored ballet flats. To break the monotony, I used my satchel leather in dark brown and accentuated my waist with a cream colored belt from The SM Store. Also used my acrylic beads set (Necklace and bracelet) from The SM Store, my new pair of eyeglasses to rest my eyes from wearing contacts and braided my hair into a fishtail side braid. 

Picture with my lil bro

I cannot believe I was able to get away with this look. I even thought I won’t be able to take a picture of it since we were always in a hurry at Legaspi because the event ended late and we still needed to catch the last trip going home. And the van ride home was horrible, one of my worst van rides ever that I accidentally stepped on somebody and didn’t apologized. Stepping on my foot is a big deal for me, that’s why it’s a-must for me to apologize but this time I was just too furious to get home, I wasn’t even able to get some sleep considering that we woke up at 4 freaking am. Surprisingly, when I got home I now feel better and my brother was even the one who offered to take the pictures (grabbed the opportunity, this seldom happens. Hahah)

I was thinking of Spencer from Pretty Little Liars with this look minus the quirky color palette, that’s my signature. (I think.)

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

Toodles!
