Temptress in Teal






Photography by Jose Luis Pacquiao
Editing by Karla Misa

 Top & Skirt: Forever 21 | Shoes: People R People | Accessories: Forever 21 & Tomliz

Back in the day, people of the ancient times wear lipstick to hold a man's gaze and attract them. It has been thought that a woman wearing red lips are beautiful, that is why most women use red lipstick to draw a man's attention. Women became a temptress to men since then. 

The mullet top is inspired by the recent trend of tops with a shorter cut in the front than that of the longer cut at the back. A mullet top can be paired with jeans and shorts, but for a casual look, it can be best paired with a bandage/bodycon skirt. I've always loved floral prints, and this floral skirt gave an edge to the look.

Floral prints projecting feminism mediates with the red lips and nails, along with the sexy pointed stiletto, bringing a combination of aphrodisiac and feminism.

It was actually my first time working a photoshoot with "on the spot-acquainted" photographers :D

It all started when Celine Conanan invited me on a photoshoot with Anne Marielle Gantuangco. Without any hesitation I said yes! Little did I know, the photographers are Celine's cousins and I just knew that fact on the spot!

Upon arriving to the meeting area, I felt so shy when Celine said that her cousins are going to be the photographers. I was used to having photoshoots with friends and my good friend Jose Luis Pacquiao who is our barkada's official photographer.

Nevertheless, I had to face the situation :D 
I was really quite shy at first but eventually I had fun! Tron & Mike were very awesome in their passion for photography and they were really nice working with. They were really friendly and approachable. Overall, it was such a fun experience and the photos turned out really good! I can say that they are really good with the craft.

As an aspiring professional photographer myself, I really hope I could also improve my photography skills someday and have more photography equipment.

I hope I could post more photos soon! As soon as they're done editing :) These are only some of the shots we took on our photoshoot.

What do you think about the photos?

Xoxo, Karla

Reckless and Free

Top: Thrifted | Denim Shorts: Old Navy | Shoes: Brash (Payless) | Sunnies: Kinetic

Breaking the rules is never the right thing to do. But sometimes we break the rules to gain something that is deserved. We do something wrong for something right. Prints on prints was never my choice of style, but this outfit post crashed that principle that I ended up loving my look.

I love how semi-sheer long sleeved polo tops are so comfortable to wear. Pairing it with denim shorts made the look a combination of classy & reckless. The animal print details accentuates to freedom.
These kinds of tops are one of my favorites as of the moment. It's nice and comfortable to wear yet classy and elegant at the same time.

Confessions of Newbie in the Blogging Industry

Hey there! Well, I must probably begin my blog by welcoming my readers (if I have any). You may be reading this blog right now because, you're my friend, you know me, or maybe you're just really curious ;) Haha. I'd love to have readers!

I must say I'm quite speechless having to start my very own blog. I have prepared quite a bit about it though. Creating accounts, layouts, etcetera etcetera... In other words I was back to zero, not that I was really a full time blogger back then. I was able to have my own blog back in the day during high school though It did not really make any sense (don't judge, I was too young to even care).

Well, now that I have this chance to prove that I have something to give out for blogging, I finally made an account. Thanks to my ever supportive blogger friend, Anne Marielle Gantuangco also known as "The Bubbly Kitty", and of course my group of friends a.k.a. barkada, Team LG.

Enough with the rambling! Let's get into the real deal!

I started loving Makeup almost a year ago from today, I really can't remember how I ended up watching beauty videos on Youtube, but the next thing I knew, I was glued to it!
Whenever I come home or have spare time I always visit Youtube and watch the new videos posted by my favorite beauty gurus, and I actually watch every single one, whatever it takes (it takes a lot of my time). In other words, I got ADDICTED. I even started following them in other social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Blogger. From then on, It has been my everyday routine to watch Beauty related videos on Youtube, and as time passed, I find myself watching Daily Vlogs of these beauty gurus as well! I was really GLUED! I know too much of anything is not good, but it really made me happy watching these videos, that it became a hobby and a form of leisure. And believe it or not, up to this time, I still feel the same. Maybe I'm just better now I can now prioritize other more important matters than just watching videos.

I really learned a lot from these videos and put everything to application.
Practice makes perfect.
After almost a year of passion for makeup, I can say that I have really improved and learned a lot of things. All thanks to my favorite Beauty Bloggers:
and all the local Youtube Vloggers including
I suggest you follow them and you'll definitely learn all about makeup!

My burning passion for makeup has driven me to keep on practicing and to keep on trying out new products even if it entails getting broke :D Learning is a continuous cycle and you can never know everything. If you have the passion in doing something, eventually, you will perform better and better as you strive your way to success.

Once you have a true passion to do something you love, you would not feel the "work" of what you are doing, 'cause doing what you love is bliss.
Quote me on that! ;)

Forgive me if my first blog post is just so newbie-ish. I'm still new in the Blogging world and I have yet to explore and find my way to "right" blogging path (if there is such). I promise to do better in the coming posts! It's a promise, meaning I won't break it! ;)

If you read this up to the very end, then I salute you!
Thank you for sparing your time to read this (though it might seem a bit nonsense :D)
