LOOKBOOK: Seventh of July

This is what I wore during my brother's birthday last July 7. We celebrated it at Mann Hann and the whole dining experience was amazing!

Julia Montes is Preview Magazine's August cover. This young actress really deserve the spotlight with her amazing talent and her lovely looks. I am actually a fan of her! I didn't recognize her at first until I saw her name on the cover.

My week in Tumblr

Hey guys! How's your weekend so far? Mine was great! I get to take care of my son and have some quality time with my family :) I'm not sure if you all know about my Tumblr blog. I started it three years ago and, believe me, it went through a lot of names before it was ✿ fashion by sai ✿. My Tumblr blog is an extension of this site. The only difference is it's a fashion and beauty photo blog.

I am subscribed to Michelle Phan's website and she has a blog segment there where she features photos that she's taken for the entire week. I was actually inspired and, since my Tumblr is a basically a photo blog, I decided to have my own photo segment for the week and I will call it My Week in Tumblr.

So start this segment, I want to share with you what I have posted this week. These photos are not mine unless stated.

I reblogged this because I want to win this bustiers from a giveaway.

ZALORA Philippines Grand Launch

With Laureen Uy (faint!)

I can't believe it! I haven't posted this event here? Oh gosh! I lost track. I'm sorry, ladies, but my video coverage of this event has been posted in my YouTube channel months ago. I hope you are one of my subscribers there. I am one of the lucky ones who got invited to ZALORA's grand launch at Sky Lounge in BGC.

Makeup Tips for Aspiring Makeup Artists

When you're at that point where you want to turn your makeup hobby to a profession, here are some of the tips I want to share to all aspiring makeup artists out there.

Must Know Meaning Of Clothing Colors In Your Personality And Fashion

In terms of buying clothes, some people always tend to choose the brand names first and how it will lucratively fit their body. They tend to forget that colors do have strong value as well. If you will do some internet search about "fashion clothing advice," most of the results will talk about the clothing colors. Even if you play some fashion games online, mostly, its focus is into color coordination as well as mixing and matching fashion pieces. It makes great sense that CLOTHING COLOR is indeed a big deal in the fashion community.

To add more, did you know, that every time you wear something, that colour signals which kind of person you are? Find your favorite color, and see what the colour says about you and what fashion sense it can bring you. Learn more about it by reading the wealth of information presented below.

Because I love all of you, I want to share to you this first look at the Beauty Expert Brow Design Kit by Sigma Beauty. I have blogged about this before (You can check it here) but I want to give you more details about this amazing kit.

TOMATO's Rainy Day Color Explosion Collection

Rainy days are definitely here. It's that time of the year where we need our umbrellas and rain coats the most. Because you are a fashionista, the rain can't stop you from looking so fab and gorgeous in your rain boots.

David Cook Live in Manila x Lookbook

Oh my! I, honestly, don't know how to start this post! I am still under David Cook's spell! I think it's proper to start this article with a "OH MY GOODNESS! THIS CONCERT WAS THE BEST!" statement. ;)

Seriously, the entire David Cook Concert was the best concert I have ever seen in my entire life! I have been to concerts like Supafest with T-Pain, Sean Kingston and Flo-Rida and the Owl City concert but David Cook's was definitely on top of my "super like" list.

LOOKBOOK: Fire Exit

Finally! I have the Tomato Pink Planner Giveaway winner! Sorry guys if it took me a while to announce this. My schedule is just getting crazier and crazier each day but, of course, I will announce the winner and that day is today :)

I only have 5 valid entries for this giveaway, which is so sad. There are other entries who didn't make it because they are not following the mechanics well. As much as I wanted to raffle this planner with all the entries that I got, I couldn't. I want to be fair. I am really keen in the mechanics. So, ladies, next time please follow the instructions very well.

Enough with the talking. See who won this giveaway below.

TUTORIAL: Caviar Nail-Inspired Nail Art
