"Un'alternativa interessante al total black sono i toni del nude. Joanna di Only the Marvelous ci mostra un look con tunica monospalla color crema indossata con orecchini di perle, sandali in pitone a listino fino al caviglia e clutch in tinta. Mentre Maria di Kyklamasha ha un portamento regale nel suo lungo abito strutturato rosa cipria, pochette nera e pendente importante. Jessica di Les Mads abbina invece un abito lungo trasparente che lascia intravedere le gambe a un blazer nude tono su tono."

in Italian means....

"An interesting alternative to total black are the tones of nude. Joanna of Only the Marvelous shows us a look with one-shoulder knapsack cream-colored tunic worn with pearl earrings, sandals with python in the list until the ankle and clutch in tint. While Maria Kyklamasha has a regal in his long habit structured pink-puffs, drawstring bag black and pending important. Jessica of Les Mads combines instead a long suit transparent glimpse the legs of a blazer nude tone-on-tone."

Father's Day Post: Mighty Aphrodite

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.

-Anais Nin

Definitely Daddy's Little Girl: always was, always will be.
Cue in our theme song: Butterfly Kisses (which I am giving him in this shot!)

Properly Suited Up: I love how well the men in my family are dressed up all the time.
Even their ties match! Hurray for Zegna!


And of course with my mother, who is the most beautiful woman I know.
Seriously. My sister and I are obsessed with my mumum... If I could peg someone for the epitome of beauty, she would be it.

Had a Father's Day Dinner with the family at Red, Makati Shangrila to show our love for the #1 man in my life...my dad and of course to celebrate him and the blessing that he is for his family. Red (the fine dining restaurant in Makati Shangri-La) is definitely my favorite restaurant...ever. I don't know if it was the many memories I've had in this place, dating back to the time I though Foie Gras was gross (I was 6!) and I could not understand why food had to be so fancy. Back then it was known as Cheval Blanc. As time moved us on, the restaurant evolved into a chic and trendy place with wonderful decor and a modern setting, not to mention a staff who has grown to know us quite well (and my many food allergies) which makes it my favorite spot for brunch/dinner or any meal in general. Let's just say I like tradition, and keeping things as is. And for celebrations, such as these, I usually go to the reliable places I have gone so accustomed to that for some reason, I can't help but keep on coming back.

What was on the menu?

The thing about father's day: It's exactly like mother's day except you spend less on flowers....

Eggless Ciabatta Bread (Mom's allergic to egg)

Pan Seared Foie Gras with Caramelized Apples and Pears

Beef Consomme

US Prime Rib Steak

My weird dessert/ palette cleanser which was oddly good...It was raspberry and red bell pepper sorbet.

And of course...the wine. It's not a good time without the wine!

Now for my outfit...
I was especially sad that day which meant I was going to overcompensate with my outfit for dinner. Yes, I am one of those few people who tend to overdress rather than dress sloppily when not feeling well (It's one of "just because I feel bad, doesn't mean the world has to see it" philosophy".) More or less, the more composed and prepared my outfit is, the more chaotic my state of mind would be. (I'm weird that way) But I devote extra effort in hiding my sadness, depression, disappointment by going all the way. This night, my peg was Aphrodite or Lanvin circa 2008 as worn by Gwyneth and Katie Holmes.

Greek is Chic.
(Dress: Custom Made | Shoes: US | Purse: Vintage Dior Clutch | Pearls: Mikimoto)

Channeling your inner goddess is easy with a draped one shoulder pc., statement alligator gladiator strappy heels and a few cuffs to accessorize. I decided I didn't want to all out so I just wore pearls and a Dior clutch as add ons.
