We’re at it again- online shopping for cheap maxi dresses in hopes of being able to wear them out sometime soon. lol. While they have lessened the restrictions here in my city, I find it best to still just stay inside the comforts of my own home but it does help lessen the cabin fever when you have new pieces heading your way. Especially when you’ve gotten them at such a steal of a price!

What do you think of these pieces I’ve been looking at?

It’s not exactly the season but I personally don’t think it hurts to stock up on cheap summer clothes especially because the one place I plan to go after the pandemic is over is to the beach!

I miss the feeling of sand between my toes and of course, the opportunity to take a beautiful sunset photo. Gaaah.

In the mean time- I guess we can all enjoy some good ol shopping.

Enjoy!

With the current lockdown I’m left here, day in and day out on my laptop. Hours on end of nonstop scrolling. I’ve kind of run out of things to do that I’ve ended up searching for cute clothing even if there’s not really anywhere to go nowadays. In a way, it’s been therapeutic because I look at the clothes and imagine myself wearing them somewhere, someday and it gives me a sense of hope which is something I’ve been needing a lot of lately.

It’s a bit odd to be looking for tops online, especially at a time like this but I can’t deny that these pieces are still really cute and i would love to be able to own these pieces one day. Either that or just being able to look at them has brought me immense joy.

Ninacloak has a lot of interesting pieces. I have my eye on a couple pieces, especially the ones that I highlighted in this post. While I do find some of their pieces a bit dated, they’re still great for a sunny summer day or a casual day out and I still think anyone can pull these pieces off.

I’m a strong supporter of feeling good about ourselves, taking care of our health through healthy lifestyles & fitness and that added support, if we feel like it is absolutely necessary.

I’m not going to lie- I’ve used body shapers in the past and I still do such as cinches & waist trainers while I’ve toyed with the idea of padded underwear in the past. Depending on what I’m wearing, sometimes I feel like these articles of clothing help emphasize our natural curves and help us feel more confident with our bodies especially if you’re like me who has a pouch! Insert recent internet search: best waist cincher for women

I was recently contacted by Feelingirls to check out their collection of items dedicated to fitness and shaping and I was definitely interested in what they have to offer. While I haven’t checked anything out yet (not necessarily a part of this months’ budget), I still wanted to share my favorite items just in case it was something you were looking for. I was particularly curious about finding the “best fitness leggings for women” since I am currently shooting a health video for Bayhana so I hope you liked my choice!

Here are my top 3 items:

I’m in love with the dual layers of this cincher and the snake skin design. It feels like there’s enough support especially for the back and I really like the sleek design.

I first saw leggings like this during my episode with Raine Baljak and I really admired the “airiness” of the design. I was never curious about this design until I saw it with my own eyes and now, I really want my own pair!

I’m not quite familiar with this product but it is definitely under the category of hot panties online sale it seems like it’s a breast lifter and body shaper at the same time. I like how this piece accentuates the hips without the use of hip pads but instead creates the illusion of wider hips through the fabric and materials that they use.

Remember, it’s important to be comfortable in your own skin but don’t pressure yourself to have what others may perceive to have the “perfect body”. If these items help you on your journey, please indulge yourself but never doubt that you are beautiful in any and every angle!

SUPPERRR LATE POST but still one of my favorite shoots to date. John Ong is always such a joy to work with and I always look forward to shooting with him. I think it took me 2 years to post this because I was saving it for something special and profound but I guess I just never got around to writing something of the nature. So here you go instead- two years late but still as beautiful as ever.

P.S. I lost this dress literally right after wearing it. I want it back, it was beautiful!
