5 Reasons Why Having A Big Sister Is Great

I have to be honest and tell you guys that I never really get along with my big sister most of the time. I can barely think of something we have in common besides fashion and blogging, I guess? But don't get me wrong, we do bond and have fun too. It's just that I think I have a lot more common with my brother. But anyway, my sister had her birthday just this 22nd, she turned 23! And here's an appreciation post for her and all other big sisters out there!

1. You can share each others' clothes

It's one of the greatest perks of having a sister in general. Back then, my sister and I used to share some of our clothes, way back when I was just a pre-teen and she's a teen. Those were the days when I'm still not yet sure what my style really is, so I just ride along what my sister think is cool. Hahaha! But actually now, we barely share our clothes, probably just our jackets. I think it's because we are now more conscious of what we wear and we are grown ups now, I don't think it's pleasant to show people that we wear the same outfit. Haha! But I am honestly jealous of how big her closet is, my sister has closet full of clothes and If you'll see, my closet is probably just 1/4 of hers. Sad.

2. You have someone on your side when you try to point out something to your parents

She can totally back you up when you are trying to prove something to your parents. Yes, parents, because they can be very skeptical with their children, ya know. Like if I want something, then I have to justify why I need it, my sister can totally help me out convince our parents. *wink wink*

3. You have a role model while growing up

My sister has been a constant role model for me, ever since. When were still at the same school, I was still in elementary and she was in high school, I would hang out with her and her "clique" (yes clique haha) during our dismissal since it is very important that I wait for my sister because we should always go home together since I was still very naive back then about commuting. I thought, I wanted to have a "barkada" like that and I want people to see me as cool as her. Anyway, I've always looked up to her, how she handles her school and social life so well. Whenever I need a guidance especially stuff about growing up, I always reflect on how she done it before. She has a lot of achievements that made me inspired to challenge myself to be better. :)

4. You have someone to annoy

Obviously, it is always fun to annoy our sister. Me and my brother always team up against our sister haha! I don't think there's much words to explain this reason. You know what I mean already! ;)

5. She can be your best critic

Not sure if that top goes well with your skirt? Worried about socializing with other people? Don't know how to deal with relationships? Well, fret not! Your sister can be your best critic about your fashion sense, social skills, and dealing with relationships. She can surely provide you her opinion and constructive criticism.

Here's a video too of a great song about sisters! I really liked this song ever since and I did plan to sing this at my sister's debut. But I wasn't able to perform because I was really very shy and not confident back then, so I backed out. Hahaha! Anyway, I hope you liked this post and remember to appreciate your sister even though she can be a bit bitchy sometimes hahaha!

Polyvore Diaries: Festival Outfit #1

Festival Outfit #1 by alyssacncpcn featuring a chain collar necklace

Pattern top, 1,175 PHP / MANGO knit cape, 3,570 PHP / Zara suede shorts, 5,755 PHP / Topshop leather lace up sandals, 3,395 PHP / Betsey Johnson faux leather shoulder bag, 3,480 PHP / Bee Goddess feather chain earrings, 29,050 PHP / ALDO metal bangle, 670 PHP / With Love From CA chain collar necklace, 445 PHP / Charlotte Russe hat, 890 PHP / Round metal frame sunglasses, 445 PHP / Haircare, 800 PHP / 5PCS Trendy Solid Color Women's Ring, 190 PHP

Coachella week 1 might be over, but there's still the 2nd week! Festival season ain't over yet! There are still various music, arts, and cultural festivals out there, everywhere in the world. So I'm pretty sure everyone's still into having to showcase their festival outfits. Although we all know that Coachella is the most famous festival that there is, everyone wants to come, people all over the globe! Of course me too!! No doubt about that.

Anyway, here's one festival outfit I put up for inspiration. I actually got inspired especially yesterday I was at H&M and saw these gorgeous brown suede shorts (it's not exactly like that one in the picture but almost the same) that only costs 600php (something like $13)!!!! I mean, compared to other H&M items that I find expensive, I think it's really a great buy! I was so tempted to buy it but I have to save up for more important stuff, like a phone haha. The thing about this outfit is that I didn't want it to be like almost the same as anybody, I think you'd stand out with this kind of outfit because everyone else would be in their flower crowns, fringe bags, etc. What I did is exchanged the flower crown for a gorgeous Charlotte Russe floppy hat, and used a cute Betsey Johnson cross body bag instead of the usual fringe bag. I added a cape for a more free-spirit kind of vibe, like what festivals mostly have. And, not to forget the simple but layered accessories! Also, a nice color to your hair would be nice, you could use some hair chalk. I also love the silver hair that's been really a gorgeous trend right now! Here's a first one and more festival outfits to come for my Polyvore Diaries!

Bazaar For All Seasons 9

3/11/2015 09:57:00 AM

I can feel it (plus Bazaar For All Seasons 9 & a GIVEAWAY)

It's already March and I'm pretty sure a lot of us are already starting to feel the hot weather gradually. I think for most countries, it's practically spring already but here in the Philippines, there isn't spring but just summer lol ok. A lot of people are definitely looking forward to this most awaited season. I mean, who doesn't love the thought of summer? Being on the beach, going on vacation with your loved ones, and no school & work(for some). Definitely a break that everybody wants. Although, the hard part about summer is the intense heat, so much heat that some people take a bath more than twice a day. I'm too excited for summer that I wanted to do a summer ootd even when I'm just at our house. Hahaha!

These pictures were used for our entry at the #BFAS9CONTEST ;) (and yes i have ugly knees, i knoooww i have sagging skin around it because i don't exercise much before, and i eat a lot. Yes, believe it or not but I really do and probably most of what I eat doesn't go into my stomach but more on my legs. I have to work on that :()

Bikini Strapless Top: Yanna Clothing | Shorts: Coco Cabana | Beach Cover-Up: Yanna Clothing

Everything was unedited (except our official entry lol my sister made that). I wish I could edit these pictures to enhance them but I'm happy enough that I've recently learned stuff about setting-up our DSLR for better images even without edits!

That's why I'm doing a lot of saving up. I need a new phone and laptop (because I'm using my dad's office laptop that he doesn't use and it doesn't allow me to install any application. ANY. So no Adobe shiznits for me or whatever :( )

Hi Ate!! It's our "kunwari having fun kasi summer" pose. HAHAHAHA! I'm sorry =))

Along with these pictures, I'm gonna promote our shop. LOL. Hahaha! PLEASE PLEASE help us win a free booth and some ca-ching (lol) by following these 2 simple steps:

1. Follow @bazaarforallseasons on Instagram (because their account is private so there's no point of telling you guys to just simply like our photo lol sorry :( )

2. Then, go find our poster (same with the picture attached below this) and HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON! YASSS.

AND by actually doing these steps, and IF we win, you might be one of the 10 lucky winners of something!! Yes, something. Surprise? Hehehe. So please please. Help us! The last day of liking will be today, so go!! And don't forget to actually go to the bazaar itself and visit our booth hehehe. Thank you so much in advance if you do so <3

Don't forget to hype this on my Lookbook! And follow me on Twitter & Instagram for more updates ;)

The SuperSale Bazaar Summer 2015 Experience

Just this last weekend at the World Trade Center Tent, the SuperSale Bazaar Summer edition for this year happened. A lot of great shops and bloggers were there and one of them was my sister and as usual we had the chance to showcase our online shop which was really amazing! I was manning our booth every since day 1 and IT IS REALLY EXHAUSTING. I'm not even exaggerating. Hahaha but really. So here's something to share with you guys!

Here's a picture of me and Ms. Denise Lunod of Simone's Fashion Closet! So happy because I've been a reader of her blog since I started my own blog hehe and she approached our shop first that's why I was able to talk to her hahaha. Her booth was just beside ours! Ms. Ana Gonzales of Anagon was actually our booth neighbor and they shared the booth together. I just wish next time that I'd have the courage to approach Ms. Ana because I've always loved her blog as well ever since and I would always see her during the SuperSale Bazaar but I wasn't just sure how to approach her :( Next time though!! I promise. Hahaha!

Lol hi mom!! Hahaha! Our lucky charm that always attracts the customers and we don't know why but it's her thing! HAHAHA!

Here's our booth! Yeah, I honestly think we should level up our booth for our next bazaar! Hahaha!

We also sell BioOil in our booth! But it's actually from our brother's shop. You can check their shop (BeyWatch16) that offers mainly authentic watches, but they also sell BioOil and other random clothes and authentic and branded bags! :)

Lol sorry for the crappy unedited photos, I used my parents' iPad mini because I don't have a phone. My phone surprisingly gave up on my while I was actually taking photos of our booth, it's constantly restarting until the battery drains. Ugh.

And here's what I've bought during the bazaar! (And a kinda better quality pictures because I took it with my DSLR but still crappy editing i know, I couldn't find a better picture editor. CAN YOU NOW SEE WHY MY PHONE IS MY EVERYTHING. PRECIOUS. HAHAH)

Here's a top that I absolutely fell in love with the moment I saw it!! And I already have a lot of outfit ideas for this one! It's from our shop Yanna Clothing! And it's only 250php! Great bargain, right?? *wink*

All the pictures of this mason jar (?) or jar mug (?) or mason mug (?) lol sorry I'm not sure what this thing is actually called. But yeah. Anyway, all the pictures of this one was unedited, the original pictures were better. Couldn't complain. Hahaha! Anyway, can you believe I only bought this for 100php?? In all fairness though, it honestly doesn't look a 100 peso stuff for me! So happy I bought this one! It's from our booth neighbor on the other side hehe (Artherup)

I just feel like I couldn't choose one shot of this item. Sorry. Hahaha!

This bracelet instantly caught my attention among the rest because of the unique color combination that surprisingly went amazing together!! <3 I got it from Simone's Closet Shop for only 50php!!! Super love it!! <3 Although I wish they had a smaller bracelet because I'm skinny :( Kinda big for me but it's tolerable to wear. Hehehe :>

I've been wanting a Valentino Rockstud inspired flats ever since, I was planning to buy at Hue Manila because I think they have a great quality but sadly, their shop wasn't at the SuperSale Bazaar this time. So it was kinda hard for me to look for other shops with the same great quality. Then I found this one at the Perfect Fit Shop that only costs 650php! It's a rare bargain because that kind of shoes usually costs around 700++ but I got impulsive and bought it. Sad thing? The strap in the middle was to big for me I didn't liked it. It didn't felt right. It wasn't a perfect fit (lol pun intended) Ok... Hahaha! So I'm planning to sell it! For only 500php(shipping fee/meet-up fee not included)!!! Anyone interested can dm me on my instagram or twitter!
