Currently nursing a sprained foot this weekend, so I thought i'd blog an overdue OOTD. Had this on my phone for awhile now and I don't know why it actually took me this long to post it. But anyway! Forgetful me! >_<

BDJ RENDEZVOUS RISE TO THE DAILY GRIND
Going 9 years strong, the BDJ Power Planner has proven it’s more than just a planner – it’s now a community of empowered Filipinas! Throughout the year, they hold a series of events for their Bellas. One of them is the BDJ Rendezvous, which is an afternoon learning where guest speakers share with BDJ Girls their insights on lifestyle, career, fashion and beauty. The first BDJ Rendezvous of the year was filled with fun and motivation as like-minded girls interacted with experts from their respective industries.
Last February 28, over 100 Bellas were gathered at Glorietta 5, Activity Center for the BDJ Rendezvous: Rise to the Daily Grind to meet new friends, rise above the norms, get out of comfort zones and discover tips to help them live a better version of themselves.
As soon as the registration opened, Bellas got the chance to enjoy the Pond’s photowall and got a free Pearl Cleansing Gel sample from the booth after posting about #PondsPearlCleansingGel. The lovely DJ, Model, and TV Host Tracy Abad welcomed the girls and hosted the event. The event started with a quick game to break the ice – the Celeteque Challenge! Three winners got a Celeteque travel kit for acing the mini-game.
The first talk, Getting Fit the Right Way, was facilitated by Ms. Tanya Dela Cruz of One Life Studio. She revealed how yoga affected her life in her health, healing and well-being, and shared tips on how to debunk improper exercise practices. She also taught Bellas a simple exercise on how to wake oneself up in the morning!
Ms. Catherine Kamping, the second resource person for the next talk“#makeithappen Monday”, inspired the girls to rise above the norms – even during a busy day at work! A quotable quote from the Philippine Youth Employment Network founder: “To make things happen, one has to overcome fear, rejection, failure, risks, and do more.”
Girls were given a short break and a sweet surprise from Browhaus – girls who had Browhaus logos stuck under their seats were given lash moisturizers for free!
Renowned fashion stylist Ms. Bea Constantino was also at the event for the third talk – “Fashion in a New Perspective” where she shared her ups and downs as a woman of style. She gave pieces of advice on how to say no to fashion excuses (e.g., “no budget” and “I’m not a fashionista”), and left the Bellas with her inspiring line, “we manifest our thoughts, so we can be anyone and anything”.
After a yummy merienda from Big Mama, Pond’s girl, Ms. Nicole Andersson graced the event to share her Beautiful Story and her tips on how to geta bare minimum no-makeup look. With a charm that’s totally captivating, the Bellas were convinced to try out the latest innovation from Pond’s!
Last but not the least, Ms. Jen Horn, chief collaborator of Muni.com.ph (a collaborative community that advocates for mindful living) encouraged Bellas to maximize impact in their communities, minimize impact on the environment, and ultimately, help them live lives of less guilt and more meaning. Our favorite line from her: “Take the time to think about the things you wanna do.”
In between talks, the early bird Bellas got the chance to grab prizes during raffle draws – thanks to the event sponsors: 360, Azta, Bulgogi Brothers, Canon, Celeteque, Dermclinic, Goody, Mister Donut, Modern Shanghai, Pond’s, Serenitea, SM Parisian, Spectrumed, Status Salon, Wacoal, Wingstop, Wrangler, and ZAP. Bellas also took home lootbags and enjoyed delicious snacks from Mister Donut at the end of the program.

FREEGO Spring/Summer 2015
This year, summer sizzles not just with hot temperatures but with the fresh new picks from leading sexy denim brand FREEGO. In its Spring/Summer 2015 collection called Bare, FREEGO drops a myriad of exciting key pieces that are sure to bring out everyone’s personal brand of sexy.
Highlights of the collection are FREEGO’s latest jeannovations – Shape Up jeans for women and 7-Point Pocket jeans for men. Both exuding sexiness in style and comfort, the denims are engineered and crafted to serve both fashion and function whether for every day wear or special nights out.
It’s high time for the ladies to strut their stuff in the Shape Up jeans, which emphasize every woman’s luscious body shape. The jeans’ three main features – the butt-lift riser, hip-enhancing dart, and slimming leg effect – all combine to show off every girl’s killer hips and derriere for looks that truly leave a statement. The Shape Up jeans also come in six different washes which go from light to dark, providing options for flirty looks during the day or a vixen-like air for the night.
For ladies who prefer to expose their long, powerful gams like model Hailey Baldwin, FREEGO also has shorts that effectively show them off. They can be paired with the Bare collection’s array of subtly sexy tops which come in sweet pastel colors and fancy printed designs. The tops can easily be styled as “cropped” to showcase the attractive midsection.
Men who want to look as stud-like as model-actor Jared Koronkiewicz have the perfect solution in FREEGO’s 7-Point Pocket jeans. Each pair of 7-Point Pocket is designed to follow the natural 7-point anatomy of the hand, thus allowing freer more comfortable movement to give gents that naturally cool vibe. The jeans also come in a variety of washes to complement various looks.
The Bare collection also offers men options to pair their 7-Point Pocket jeans with breezy tops that evoke just the right amount of cool. The gents can select from light-colored Henley shirts for daytime affairs while solid-colored long-sleeved polos make the perfect match for more formal night-time events.
With the fresh pieces from FREEGO’s Bare collection, bringing out everyone’s unique brand of sexy this summer can be achieved with just the perfect pair of jeans.
FREEGO is available at leading department stores nationwide.

Last Friday, Athan and I watched the opening of an on staged play just about family ties. :) It's Repertory Philippines' newest play, '4,000 Miles.' :)
When wearing tight clothes, I highly suggest that you go for undergarments that aren't that noticeable or as if it doesn't exist. You wouldn't want your panty lines saying HELLO to strangers or being visible on your tush when you're walking in public or worst, at important events! >_< You can either wear g-string, thongs or panties that have really thin straps. :) For jeans though, I think you can get away with the hipster or boyleg style. :)
On a daily basis for me though, I love
If you're confused on what those styles are or you actually want a change to your undergarments, you can check out the stylish collection of undergarments at Zalora. :)
Aside from underwear, I also have outfits that need bras that also won't be too visible, because it's strapless. (like the ones you see above) or a low back dress. I'm sure you've seen plenty of celebrities wear outfits like that and wonder, "Are they wearing any bra??" Of course, majority of them are. They just have the perfect lingerie for it! So, normally I wear strapless bras or adhesive bras. That's my go-to. But for others, you can try the Low-back bra converter. :) Reference here: http://ultimatebraguide.com/neckline/low-back-dress-or-top/
A perfect example of a low back dress would be my outfit here:
It's really simple once you get the hang of it. :) Hope this helped!
