Pear Shaped Body Type

Filed under dear sosyalera

Dear Ms. Leyn,

Hi! First time kong magsulat dito. Well I’m not really into fashion or looking good but recently medyo nabobother na ko sa itsura ko and sa figure ko. Unproportioned kasi yung body ko, maliit sa taas and mataba sa baba. Lalo na yung balakang ko. I just wanna ask kung anu bang mga klase ng damit yung dapat kong isuot. I’m a college student and sa school namin mas madalas kaming nakacasual kesa nakauniform so I want advice on clothes that I can wear to school. Thanks a lot. ^_^

Dear Rosette,

According to your description, I think you have the Pear shaped figure. Just a recap, there are 4 common female body types:

  • The Banana or straight type is typical with skinny girls. This body type doesn’t have too much problem with regards to clothes. The shape can wear almost any style from volume dresses to fitting skinny jeans.
  • The Apple shape is the body type where your shoulder to bust line looks heavier than your bottom part.
  • The Pear shape is the reverse Apple where the hip and butt part looks fuller than the upper half.
  • The Hour Glass is an ideal body shape because of the proportioned figure and balanced curves. The hour glass is like the Banana body type because any clothing complements the shape.

But let’s focus on the pear shaped body type. The key for pear shaped figures is to draw attention to the upper half of the body in order to divert attention from the hips and thighs; the result is apparently a balanced body.

Military Jacket

Filed under cheap thrills, fashion

At first, I didn’t quite appreciate that military style of jacket can be a fashion trend. First, it’s not weather friendly. Second, aside from sporting a PMA look, I feel that wearing a military coat will make me look like a member of a marching band.

I thought it’s not wearable for me until I saw this piece from Balmain’s Spring 2010 collection. Lovely!

Michael Jackson is indeed a fashion trend-setter for influencing the runways with his fashion statement – the Military Jacket which is perfect for skinny bodies. But on the jologs version, I can label this as the Vice Ganda look.

Yabang Flip Flops

Filed under dear sosyalera, pet peeves

sana po gumawa ka din ng article regarding sa mga may account sa any social networking sites na nagpopost ng mga picture ng sangkaterba nilang havaianas. akala siguro nila sosyal tingnan ung mga ganun e.

yun lang po. salamat.

Akalain nyo nga namang may naglilitrato pa nito hanggang ngayon samantalang Spartan at Beach Walk nalang ang value ng Havaianas para sa karamihan. Para sa concerned citizen na ito, ‘wag kang mag-alala dahil outdated na ang pagyayabang nila.

If you’re really a certified flip flops addict, you shouldn’t just buy a certain brand just because it’s popular. Honestly, the quality of my first Havaianas (2005) is totally different from the latest pair I bought. It kind of degraded. And I can say that other flip flop brands may surpass their quality. Here are some of them:

Grendha
Designed with gems, stones and embossed prints. It can replace your flat sandals without looking too casual.

Flojos
Flojos stores sell varieties from rubber flip flops to fashionable glittery sandals.

Fit Flops
Hey show offs, eto ang kolektahin nyo. Fit Flops are not just your ordinary rubber slippers because of its platform design and durable material. Price ranges from 2990 to 3490 pesos.

Sa totoo lang, Havaianas ang gamit ko sa pang-araw araw na buhay – paglalakad, pagpunta sa mall, pagda-drive, pamalo sa ipis, etc. Hindi ko naman pinangdidisplay. Pero dahil patok parin pala ang picturan ang Havaianas, eto ginawa ko na rin…

Kaso isa nalang ang pares ng Havaianas ko, ni-camera trick ko nalang para kunwari marami din akong Havs. Sosyal!

Wenk.

Pinoy Cast of Characters

Filed under movies, tv programs

Isa ako sa milyung-milyong Pilipino na hindi mabubuo ang araw na hindi nanunuod ng TV. Kung anu-anong series na nga ang nasubaybayan ko mula sa sosyal na Gossip Girl hanggang sa pang-masang Rubi. At sa ilang taong pagkahumaling ko sa TV at local programs, may mga artista at karakter nang nabuo na sa isipan ko na mukhang hindi na magbabago. Yung tipong unang tingin mo pa lang sa artista, kahit hindi mo alam ang storya o iba-ibang programa man sila masali, ay alam mo na kung anong role nila:

Dick Israel - Gumaganap bilang lasenggerong kumpare o kaya manggagantso.

Jason Abalos - Ang role nya ay 3rd wheel sa isang relasyon. Wala kasi syang ka love team kaya kadalasan sawi sa pag-ibig mula sa bidang babae. Kung hindi naging pari si Dominic Ochoa sa May Bukas Pa ay sya na ang 2nd runner up sa karakter na ‘to.

Alessandra de Rossi - Nagmamaldita o kontrabida. Laging pinagkakaitan ng pag-ibig at naninira ng relasyon.

Ryan Eigenmann - Bad boy na mayaman. May tendency na mang-rape o makipag-basag ulo dahil hot tempered sya o lulong sa drugs.

Kitkat, Tuesday Vargas, Kathleen Hermosa at Nikki Valdez - best friend ng leading lady na laging may side comment. Kadalasan, baduy at colorful sila manamit.

Beverly Salviejo - Maingay na tyahin o chismosang katulong.

Kris Aquino - pa-goody ang karakter. Kung anong kinadaldal at taklesa nya sa paghohost ay sobrang lamya at pa-drama ng kanyang mga role. How ironic.

Chinggoy Alonzo - Ang rich daddy. May kaakibat na Don sa unahan na pangalan neto. Kadalasan ay may sakit sa puso at pag namatay ay pag-aagawan ang kayamanan nya.

Lilia Cuntapay - White Lady.

Marami-rami pa yan, paniguradong may naiisip ka rin. At in fairness, swak naman sa acting at itsura nila, pwera kay Kris. Mas makatotohanan ang dating ‘di tulad ng mga artistang mainstream – mga mestisong gumaganap bilang iskwater o conyong mayaman na baliko naman mag-ingles.

Meet the Parents

Filed under dear sosyalera

Hi!

I really find your site helpful especially in the fashion section :) I just want to ask what type of clothing can I wear in meeting “the parents”? :) Thank you.

Trx

Dear Trx,

Good day! Basically, meeting “the parents” should leave a good impression so stay simple, that’s it. Although, your outfit should also portray your personality. For example, if you’re a girly gal, stick with a light sundress or any dainty clothing. Then if you’re the casual type of person, wear a blouse and slim jeans.

Pick light colors like pastel shades, white or peach. For an updated fashion, tulip dresses are all the rage this season.

Two-toned Sunglasses

Filed under accessories, fashion

Everyone can now feel the summer heat and February hasn’t even ended yet. So bring out your protective gears like umbrellas, sunblock and of course, sunglasses. Sunglasses or shades don’t just protect your eyes from the warmth of the sun; they can also serve as a fashion accessory or hide your crying eyes just like the artista shades.

Two-toned sunglasses are hip this year, whether they’re aviators, over-sized, or biker shades.

Hello Leyn,

Good day!! I’ve been reading your blog during the past week and I’m proud to say that I’ve read all your posts. Hahaha! Very informative at nakakaaliw yung mga banat mo. I hope regular ka pa rin magpost at tumagal pa lalo ang domain mo.

Anyway, here goes my problem. This is Ann nga pala at ang aking simpleng pangalan ay kasing simple rin ng aking personality. I’m pretty much the shy kind of girl. Very simple lang rin ako manamit.

Gusto ko sanang humingi ng tips on how to pick the right kind of accessories for me and on which setting would it be appropriate.

I hope you can help me with this Leyn. It will be very much appreciated. Thank you and God bless you always. :D

One thing I like about the trendy Ankle Cuff sandals is you can wear them with either casual shorts or formal dress.

PS. I didn’t cut my hair short.

Monobrow

Filed under fashion

Regardless of being practical, I’m a sucker for high-end fashion that’s why I draw inspiration from designers and magazines, either local or international. And as I was doing a bit of a fashion research, I discovered that Vogue Germany (March 2010 ish) has featured a timeless model, Claudia Schiffer, with a Monobrow look.

Monobrow = Parang isang mahabang kilay.

They say it’s Frida Kahlo-inspired, beautiful and fierce but seriously, it looks disturbing to me. I hope this Monobrow style won’t be a trend. It reminds me of someone from my childhood…

Love Calculator

Filed under cheap thrills

Sino bang hindi nagdaan sa mga nakakatawang written games tulad ng FLAMES at MASH na nagsasaad kung ano ang magiging kapalaran mo sa pag-ibig? FLAMES = Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, Sweethearts. MASH = Mansion, Apartment, Squatter, Haunted House. Ang mga larong ito ang nagbigay dati sa akin ng kakarampot na pag-asang may patutunguhan ang pagka-crush ko sa isang cute na classmate noong elementary. At kung saang bahay kami titira kung kami ang magkakatuluyan.

Unfortunately, hindi na uso ‘to sa mga kabataan sa dami ba naman ng mga online love quizzes na pwede mo sagutan sa facebook. But just so you know, bago pa man din magkaroon ng mga online quizzes na yan ay may nauna na… ang LoveCalculator.com. Para lang syang pina-sosyal na FLAMES.

Naaliw lang ako dahil lumipas man ang isang dekada ay buhay pa ang website na ‘to. Sinubukan ko ulit tuloy. At dahil sa mga resultang lumabas, pakiramdam ko ay accurate sya…


Because of the divorce rumors, they may not be that perfect.


Obviously…


Some things are just not meant to be.

At syempre sinubukan ko rin sa sarili ko…

Shet, i knew it.
