A breezy top with jeans and boots is pretty much a manifestation of how I feel about the current transitional season. It won’t be long before temperatures start rising again in time for the summer, but I’ve always been a cold-weather girl so I wanted to hold on to whatever few and fleeting chilly spells we can still enjoy.

Hot or not, I love how the bright colors of spring/summer can perk up any outfit and give it that carefree, casual feel. Check out this ombré orange necklace! It’s not really my favorite shade, but I’ve been wearing this piece a lot because it just seems to make my outfits happier somehow.

Yellow and green are a different story—two colors I love wearing. Especially yellow. I got this bag from my aunt exactly a year ago during my birthday trip to the US and I’ve been wearing it to death every chance I get… I tend to do that with gifts from loved ones.

If you’ve been a longtime reader of this blog (and I sure hope you are!) then you’ve also seen these boots a lot. Because really, what can’t you wear with a nice pair of brown boots?

I seldom wear jeans anymore and usually go for shorts or dresses, but I’m glad I went with my gut that afternoon. As with most of my outfits, I put this together at the last minute to go and attend the Philippine launch of American Eagle Outfitters. Maybe because I’ve been a fan of the brand since college, my chosen neon-and-jeans ensemble was spot on with AEO’s Light and Bright Spring Collection.

NEO NEON:
We’ve always been fans of acid brights and happy pops of color, and our latest shoot is no exception.

There’s no need to be afraid of mixing prints and colors and stripes! Most of the time, it really is all about how you carry yourself.

The way we style our outfits is thus: we don’t overthink. We just talk about what mood or vibe we want the pictures to give off, we grab a couple of things here and there, and we put them together on the day of the shoot.

This pair is so awesome because it goes both ways—sporty and stylish.  It can easily be worn with casual shorts and a tee, and at the same  time add edge to a semi-formal ensemble.

These slip-ons are incredibly comfy! Black and white slip-ons should  be a staple in any girl’s closet, for those casual days when you need to  be able to walk comfortably while still managing to look chic.

LOVE CHIC:

This here tumblr blog is our collaborative attempt at chronicling our common affinity for fun, fashion, food and fanciful stuff. For instance, summer brights.

We had this shoot as our friend Lester is leaving Manila to relocate to New York for good on the 15th. Here’s to you, Les! “In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can’t do…”

Clothes and accessories, our and our families’ closets.
