This photo was taken some weeks back at BGC. We went there with sissy and the
#FabSkye for an event and did a quick #OOTD photo shoot upon seeing the nice grassy part of BGC.
I really love BGC. They have greens and buildings all over. What a contrast. But super beautiful. I hope they won’t end up being too overcrowded like Makati. Hinay hinay lang Taguig. :)
Anyway, I know that these set of photos are not so flattering. Hello?! Love handles!!!! Yeps. I still have those crazy bulges that doesn’t want to go away. Pwede naman daw yan maalis basta mag work out ako. Kumusta naman?
I am posting this as a reminder for me and to document my improvement. I am slowly losing weight. Promise! If you’ve seen me a couple of moths back o kahit last year. Oh my gulay!
I also don’t know what happened. I just lost weight. Probably because Skye’s almost 2 now and I’m still breastfeeding. But whatever.
I will try to work out. I. Will. TRY. Just try.
But it felt really good to be back on track. I am now slowly going back to my old self. Been wearing make up again. Trying to look decent. And I love it. Yey for beauty!!
Next target is my hair. I need to have it fixed ASAP. Then maybe I could kalkal my wardrobe na. Time to bring out the old clothes. Yihee!!

Hello everyone! I’m back!! Yep. An #OOTD for y’all. Did you guys miss it? Oh my! I do. I really, really do miss doing
#OOTDs.
This little blog used to be a fashion and lifestyle blog. But now, it’s all about baby fashion. And you guys know why – it’s because I’m effing plump. Too heavy. Too fat.
But lately, I am slowly losing all the preggy fats and lumps. Yey! I just recently lose 6kgs. And I am back to my pre-preggy clothes. Some are still a bit snug and tight on some places but a lot are fine.
You are probably wondering what I did to lose all the 6kgs? Honestly, I am not really sure how. All I know is I am extra tired lately running after a toddler. And oh! We ditched all the sodas because the
#FabSkye would want to drink them also. Plus I am now walking more often. So yeah. I guess that’s why. And oh! I ditched the cream on my coffee. I’m back to black with less sugar.
And so now since I’ve started losing weight, I want to lose some more until I’m back to my old body. Here’s my plan, fellow mums…
-
I will start to jog. Yep. That’s probably the easiest way and the closest I could ever get to an actual full exercise. I need to burn all the fats.
-
In order for me to do number 1,
I will buy a new rubber shoes. Hahahaha! You have to admit, a new pair would really inspire me to actually jog. And I think I found cool
sneakers from Asics at ZALORA. Not just cool, pretty too.
-
I will wear my body shaper often. They say it’s effective on Kim K. So I will try it. Plus my OB says it’ll help lose all the tummy bulge.
-
I will eat healthy. We are already starting to do this because the baby is eating with us and wants to eat whatever we eat so the only way to make her eat healthy is for us to eat healthy as well.
Those are just my initial plans. Let’s see where it’ll lead me. I am so excited to wear the rest of the remaining clothes on my closet. Yay!
If you’ve been reading me for quite some time now, then you’d probably see my “
fashion blogger days”. Yah know! Dressing up. Excessorizing. Heels. Tiis-ganda. Posing like crazy. Those were the days.
Now? Here’s my new fashion rule.
And yes. All elements MUST BE PRESENT. I should be comfortable, stylish and easy to slip on and off (breastfeeding yah know!). I guess, it’s every mum’s fashion guide. What excessorizing?! My daughter could eat those bangles or pull those drop earrings or eat and pull those chunky necklace. I’ve given up a lot of my fashion must haves ever since I had Skye. And one of the major element of my personal style that I’ve given up (probably forever) are my heels.
Those stilettos doesn’t fall on my new fashion rule at all! Except for style maybe. And since I’m a petite girl (4’10” only), I used to wear heels ALL THE TIME. I even used to travel wearing 5inch wedges. Ganun ko ka-love ang heels! But ever since I got pregnant – waley na! No more heels for this mum. I even gave all my heels away. :( Coz I know I can’t wear them anymore. Hello?! I have a baby! I need to be comfortable and I need to be as close to the ground as possible so I won’t tumble over while carrying the baby. Now I am in love with my fitflops. I finally understand why almost every mum I know own a pair. It’s comfy and so easy to slip on. Kelangan din kasi mabilis isuot. I usually have 5minutes tops to get dressed. Coz I have a baby to attend to. Hihihi!
But since I am now on my #balikalindog project, I realized that I have to improve my shoe closet. Eversince I gave up my collection of heels, my shoe closet looks so empty. And we all know how important shoes are. I believe that they can make or break an entire outfit. So now I am checking out some cute and comfy ballet flats from Zalora to improve my style. I saw loads actually. I could pair it with shorts, skirts, maxi dresses or pants. And most of all, I won’t have to worry na magtumbling kami mag ina.
I also realized that there are loads of stylish flats out there. Pak na pak padin for OOTD. :)
xoxo,
Reigne
I was browsing thru some old files when I came across this old OOTD pics that I wasn’t able to post because of the pregnancy. If I’m not mistaken, I’m around 7weeks pregnant here. Medyo bilugan na ako eh.
I just thought sayang naman the pictures if I wont post it. And it'll serve as a fitspiration for me. I honestly think I’m running out of excuses for having a pudgy frame. Skye’s 10months already. I really should start losing weight. My tiny feet can’t handle this bigger frame. Grabe lang! I miss doing OOTDs. :(

I got myself a new pair of kicks. A Floral VANS sneakers for this new mum.
I know that I used to be the heels kind of girl. And the sexy, strappy sandals kind. But I can’t wear heels while trotting around the mall with my baby. And very soon she’ll be a toddler. I don’t think I’ll ever run around in heels and live to tell the tale.
I used to hate sneakers. I find them uncomfy and restrictive. But now, I learned to appreciate them. The fact that I won’t worry about it leaving my feet while I run. Or the fact that it’s not slippery at all. Great grip them Vans. Great grip.
And I also learned to dress them up. That’s why I opted for this floral print. So chic. But easy to pair with. Look at how I wore it at the
Aeropostale event last November.
Simple, comfy and perfect for mummy!
Hello fashionable friends. :) Another beauty post for y’all.
One of the things I have learned about make up is the importance of make up brushes. I used to think that it’s really not needed as I could always use my fingers in applying my make up. that brushes are just for the pro.
But, brushes would definitely help you achieve your everyday no-make up- make up look. And for me, my best find when it comes to make up brushes is Marionnaud. :)
You can find Marionnaud brushes in Watsons Store and I swear they are the cheapest, high-quality brush in the market. I tried the others, some are even more expensive than this brush but so far, they are my favorite.
Although there are tons of make up brushes available in the market, I think there are 3 most important ones – foundation brush, blusher/contour brush and eye liner brush (not in the photo). If you have these 3 on your make up kit, you’ll be fine.
Foundation brushes are important in applying foundation and/or BB cream. Although using your ring finger is fine, I find it more convenient to use the brush. First, because it’s less messy and second, because it evens out the application. I love Marionnaud’s Foundation Brush in No. 33. The bristles are soft and it doesn’t fall off easily. Been using mine for more than a year now. I just clean it with brush cleaner as often as I could. This brush only costs around Php 150.00. Super mura!
Marionnaud’s Slanted Blusher/Contour Brush is my go-to blusher brush. It’s not too big nor too small plus I love that it’s slanted making it easier to apply blush. I’m not yet that okay with contouring so I use this mostly on applying creme blush. This one costs around Php 200.00.
Make up is easier with the right tools!
I saw my office mate wearing this, and forced her to do a #StyleFeature on the blog. Hahahaha! But she doesn’t want her face on my blog so I cropped it. So yeah, dear officemate – your face is not on the blog but your stylish sense of fashion is here to stay! Harhar!
This officemate is known for her easy, no non-sense style. She follows every dress code and always make sure that she looks “office approriate”. But I won’t call her sense of style boring, because they’re not!
Take this look as an example. Perfect play of colour blocking there. :) And I love that she uses shocking pink to balance out the black, knee-length pencil skirt that would have been sooo boring. Finished it off with black belt and black watch. Just the basic accessories of every working chic. :)
And don’t you just love the shocking pink flats? It’s a Melissa flats and it’s ssooo perfect. I love that instead of playing it cool and safe by wearing black or nude shoes, she opted for another pop of colour and made it matchy matchy with her top. Genius!
Eto na mga peg ko ngayon. Simple and flashy. Just the perfect combo. :)
I have been checking out the runway fashion week looks via Facebook. I am loving the SS15 collection. Lots of wearable pieces. And lots of flats. And structured tops. And flares!
So when I saw this look on my officemate Dhaye, I just can’t help but take a few pictures and put her on #StyleFeature for the second time around!
Fashionistas could really foresee the future. Imagine? She has zero idea that what she’s wearing speaks SS15 collection. The flats, the flare pants. Even the no make up look!
I just love the pop of color via her shirt’s collar and the green nails. SS15 collection is all about comfort and style, which this look exudes.
Oh how I miss my old body. :( Don’t get me wrong. I love my body. After getting pregnant, I realized that my body is wonderful. It was able to bear life! But I don’t know my body anymore. This bigger frame. This weird bulges. I don’t know it. I am not accustomed to it. I can’t dress it properly. :’( And I miss dressing up! I wanna try some of the elements of the SS15 collection. I actually have a couple of pieces in my wardrobe that I think would work. I am playing dress up in my mind. But I can’t wear it. It just won’t work. Hay! Buti nalang I have friends who actually agrees to be featured on this blog. Harhar! So my fashionista readers could get something naman. :)
And by the way, if you wanna featured on this blog – just give me a holler. :-P
Enjoy the rest of the week guys!
