Raellarina - Philippines Best Blog (Interior Design & Lifestyle)

I'm getting decked in utilitarian fashion with pieces that are more comfortable and functional mainly because of the Philippines' hot weather and because I have multi-colored hair that changes from time to time. Because I don't want to end up sweating all day long even for just simply standing up, I now avoid wearing denim pants. It's best to wear outfits that can adapt to any situation.

On another note, this pegged pants which I bought from a thrift store years ago is now a precious hidden gem I found in my closet! The thing is, I bought it because I found it unique but never wore it because it was actually big on me. But I've finally decided to give it a go so I adjusted the waist line (sewing skills put to the test) and voila! Never knew this pegged pants is so comfy to wear!

Fashion Finds: Evening Dresses for All Occasions

Dressing up and putting your best foot forward during events and occasions is just a natural human behavior. And it's perfectly fine if one wants to look the most beautiful at the event! Thus, it's only appropriate if one feels beautiful inside and out. And most often than not, a beautiful dress would help that feeling emerge.

As I was browsing online, I landed on these evening dresses from a leading online fashion and sports retailer in Australia and New Zealand which is The Iconic. Launched in 2011, the shop has focused on channeling the latest technology to provide unrivaled access to more than 1,000 local and international brands and a huge 60,000 fashion and sports products for men and women.

What caught my attention is that The Iconic is committed to social and environmental responsibility and they observe sustainability practices and do ethical sourcing. Definitely a brand to support.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite pieces from the evening dresses they offer:

CHAMARIPA: a shoe brand that makes you taller

A pair of well-designed men's elevator shoes is an essential asset one must have in his life especially when you wish to increase your height a bit. Here in the Philippines, a man's average height is 5'3"-5'4" and some are even smaller. Having said that, there is no shame if you are looking for that shoes that make you taller.

Time to take out the jackets and hoodies from the closet because it's the start of ber months and somehow, though the weather here in the Philippines is still very hot, somehow it gets colder each day which means we all now have a "reason" to "pretend like it's winter" by wearing layers, hoodies, and jackets.

Obsessing over bomber jackets lately, and so do my brothers.

Tips For Giving Your Home A Facelift On A Budget

"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." - Jane Austen

Something about your own home whips up a sudden comfortable feeling, of being your true self without having to put your best self forward, of changing into your comfy house clothes and throwing that extremely fitted clothing pieces you wore the whole day into the laundry basket, and of walking bare foot in the comforts of your home while drinking that hot tea or chocolate.

"A home can become too comfortable sometimes. An ongoing schedule of freshening up is a good thing to do." - Penny Morison

Having said that, keeping one's home clean, neat, and beautiful is something that one should always consider. Here are simple tips for giving your home a facelift on a budget:

A touch of grunge for this wedding outfit I put up last 2016! You can totally tell that this outfit is from long ago because I now currently have a short, black and blue hair! If you've been following me on Instagram, you may have an idea of my current hair color but I am really bad at updating so majority of the time I just upload so late except for IG stories.

Having said that, I am trying my best right now to manage everything and juggle everything because I seriously need to be more organized because I am such a mess and so all over the place! It's been 5 months since I resigned and living the freelance life. This must work. haha.

Anyway, I want to attend more weddings and more formal events because I get to wear heels and be grungy (if i want to) and really dress up!

Three years ago - that's how old this photo set is yet it's just now that it is being published. I still love the photos, for I am still in love with the woods and laces and all of those vibe I was obsessing about then.

But I think, sometimes, people eventually outgrow their obsessions though the love will always be there no matter what. That's just how it goes with me in terms of style. Still experimental about it but I still love wearing laces, whites, caps / hats, and boots! Not as much layering with accessories though but I still love wearing them!

Anyhow, this is an outfit I wore 3 years ago when I went on a Tagaytay day trip tour with my family. And if you're gonna ask me if I will repeat this ensemble today, why, yes. Of course I will! I'd like to repeat it actually. X
